The 2017 full-length studio album titled Superposition from the multi-award nominated project NADJIWAN. The first new record since ‘Philosophy For The Masses’ (2008), Marc Meriläinen a.k.a. Nadjiwan has been busy creating his unique style of music. From an Ojibway and Finnish background Marc has tried to utilize the sounds from both cultures. In this 5th studio album by Nadjiwan, Marc once again explores the complex issues of humanity as well as delves into the depths of what really makes up our own individual realities. Released as a single earlier this year, ‘Reentry’ has reached the #1 spot on the National Indigenous Music Countdown.
