Das offizielle Statement von Ilkka Salminen:
Dear fans,
I have now officially left TENHI.
This is my own decision and I want you to know that it happens in the best spirit between all of us. It might not be a surprise for you, as my contribution in TENHI has decreased ever since we released Maaäet. For the time being I haven`t got the possibility to devote myself to TENHI anymore with the same intensity as Tyko and Ilmari.
I`m extremely proud and happy for everything we achieved in TENHI and it all means an awful lot to me. I feel privileged that for the past decade I was given the possibility to create music with such talents as Tyko and Ilmari. I think TENHI is doing very well in their care, and I encourage them to carry on the TENHI saga for a long time.
On my behalf I`d like to thank all of you TENHI fans for the fantastic support you`ve given throughout the years. I wish you all the best, keep TENHI flame burning!
Yours,
Ilkka Salminen
