Irti (Finnish for "Off" or "Loose") is the fourth solo album of Ismo Alanko, released in 1996. According to Alanko, he and his band gave themselves two weeks time to compose and record the album from scratch.[1] The result is an improvisation-based, more freely-played album than the preceding Taiteilijaelämää.[2]
