    Olli Aarni
    Olli Aarni will give a special, non-linear guided tour to his new album/world called “Dimension Scrolling”, which will be released the day after the performance by Mondoj. This is a unique chance to get early access to the vast virtual landscapes the album emerged from, and their immediate surroundings. A low-key record release show if you will.

    Émilie Payeur & Alexandra Tremblay (CAN)
    Collaborating together since 2023, the approaches of Émilie and Alexandra share common concerns for the territory, magic and dreams while they work in different media. They will present at Äänen lumo what they have been working on during their residency at AARK (in Korppoo) in July.

    Kaapinkoi : 4th Relay
    Kaapinkoi (Oskar Liljeblad, Ilmi Penkkala, Krasimir Jovanovic Hyvärinen) explores film playfully as a medium in their live cinema performances by deconstructing it to light, shadow and sound. Random objects and materials come together on screen accompanied by a warm buzzing score.

    Luokkanen & Tanner
    Mixed bag of varied long and short sounds heard in order that is determined by organizing them in real time by Matti and Samuli.
    “Charming and unhurried but always highly dynamic”

    Peter J. Woods (UK)
    OTOTOMY
    Sirpa Kalla
    GUNK

    Peter J. Woods is a scholar and artist with a deep interest in experimental music, DIY arts communities, and communal knowledge production. His work pulls equally from the worlds of harsh noise and absurdist theatre. The performances build a sense of terror from simple imagery, muted text and an unpredictable barrage of silence and sound. Woods utilizes these approaches within a critical context, building on his scholarly work to challenge oppressive formations embedded within the musical contexts he finds himself in.

    OTOTOMY is the noise project of East Helsinki–based artist Matti Närekangas, born out of frustration with music as a form of expression. For OTOTOMY, sound holds meaning regardless of how it’s made. Blending analog elements, unusual recordings, and digital manipulation, he crafts chaotic soundscapes inspired by Engelbert Humperdinck, flying squirrels, escalators, death, the fear of abandonment and the ecstasy from observation of life. OTOTOMY has self-released two EPs HARD2BEGOD (2022) and FAILURE (2024) as well as the split NO SUGAR (2024) with Sasanian.

    Sirpa Kalla was born in 2024 in Portugal, in the dunes of Adraga. She thrives on unintentionally generated sounds, the atmosphere of old industrial areas and the roughness and rasp of rust and debris. Sirpa Kalla cuts random loops from cassettes found in the streets and abandoned buildings, combining them with minimalist synths and contact mic’d objects.

    GUNK is a group that has been active since 2011, their performance usually consists of drones, metallic scraping and raw minimalism, all wrapped up into conceptual improvisation. This is their first performance since 2019. Their new album “Hard” will be out summer 2025.

  • 27.05.2025 / Äänen Lumo: Violent Shogun, Keränen

    27.05.2025 / Äänen Lumo: Violent Shogun, Keränen

    Tuesday 27.05.
    Doors 18:30, Sound 19:00
    Price 5 – 10€ 

    Summer starts (yes, it’s summer) with hissing, screeching and snarling with this double feature in Toinen kerros. Bringing together Violent Shogun from Bordeaux, France who has released exquisite murky material under many pseudonyms and Keränen, who has been dubbed (among other things) as “the unsung hero of 00’s Mego-crew” and a “Finnish noise legend”. Probably needless to say that the evening will be a treat for those who enjoy the noisier side of things.

    Violent Shogun, from Bordeaux, France, has been creating his ambient noise since 2017, drawing influences as much from hissy tape murk or electronic waveforms as from the concrete chaos made by mishandled amplified objects. Many of these experimentations based on damaged drones, disintegrating tape loops, creaking metal or disrupted electronic feedback have since been captured on various tapes or CDs released by labels like Satatuhatta (Finland), Angst (Italy), Absurd Exposition (Canada), Buried In Slag And Debris (Canada).

    Keränen has been making experimental electronic music since the late 1990s. His work focuses on rudimentary live electronics, feedback, and improvisation. He primarily modes are vivid harsh noise and minimal electronic drones. In addition to his solo projects, he is a member of Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit, Testicle Hazard, Pymathon, The Truckfuckers, and Gentle Evil. His discography includes around three dozen releases, ranging from cryptic underground tapes to more acclaimed works, such as the “Bats in the Attic” CD, which was a critic’s pick in The Wire in 2010. Keränen has performed extensively around the world and has collaborated with artists like Lasse Marhaug, Florian Hecker, Incapacitants, and many others.

    24.5.25

    An Evening of Duos, Duojen ilta

    ”Duo means an ensemble consisting of two musicians.”

    Performers / Esiintyjät

    Huutarha

    Huutarhan improvisatorinen musiikki on akustista ambientia todellisen ja kuvitellun välimaastossa. Kontrabasson ja viulun sävelet eriytyvät ja yhdistyvät yhtyeen musiikin soljuessa pysähtyneessä hetkessä. Essi Hirvonen, kontrabasso. Miio Holopainen, viulut https://www.youtube.com/@huutarha

    Improvertebrate

    Improvertebrate on Sulo Kolehmaisen ja Taneli Viitahuhdan harvakseen keikkaileva yhteenliittymä. Kaksikon musiikissa huomio kiinnitetään rankaan. Improvisaatiota kannatteleva, kevyt mutta liikkuvainen tukirakenne syntyy modulaarisen syntetisaattorin äkkiväärän äänipaletin ja jazz-taakkansa alla kamppailevan saksofonin yhteispelistä.

    Koho/Koskenlahti

    Koho/Koskenlahti on laaja-alaisesti äänen parissa työskentelevän J. Kohon ja perkussionisti Minna Koskenlahden muodostama duo. Duon kiinnostuksen kohteina on tutkiskella erilaisiin tiloihin, tavanomaisiin soittimiin ja epätyypillisiin äänilähteisiin säilöttyä soivaa potentiaalia ja etsiä erilaisia keinoja sen vapauttamiseksi.

    sensibili alle foglie

    sensibili alle foglie, a duo specialised in intertwining between instruments, objects, and space. Their work seeks the presence of sound and its path through repetition towards absence, the path of becoming hemmed in between the imagined and the real: a lead into the otherness of listening. The duo will interpret Circular Music No. 6 by the Swiss composer Jürg Frey.

    “When They denied motion, He, as everyone knows, came forward in protest, actually came forward, because He did not say a word, but simply walked back and forth a few times, with which gesture He believed he had sufficiently refuted Their position. ” From: Soren Kierkegaard. “Repetition and Philosophical Crumbs”, 1843.
