Aition is the artist name of producer and musician Lasse Lindgren, under which Lindgren has been releasing music he has composed since 2020.

The key element of Aition’s music is using the themes and instruments of ancient times, the Middle Ages and the Middle East in ambient-based music production.

In summer 2024, Lindgren started cooperation with Moroccan-born and now Espoo-based Saad Kaya, who presents the Finnish audience with the ‘ancestor of bass’ – a guembri, a key instrument in Moroccan Gnawa music. Gnawa music is a style of music drawing from the rhythm music performed in the religious rituals of slaves brought south to the Sahara desert. It dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

In February 2025, Aition released a single, Tapiola Gnawa, where field recordings done at the Tapiola metro station provide a rhythmic base for Gnawa music.
