Felisha Ledesma is a sound artist and musician currently based in Malmö, Sweden. A distinctly warm and organic palette permeates Ledesma’s work, each moment slowly unfolding into an intimate aural experience. Inspirations from the everyday are distilled into sonic memories that invite a meditative and deep listening.
Constantly mutating rhythms and sharp digital textures shape the sound of Forces. Forces is the electronic music project of Finnish interdisciplinary artist Joonas Siren. Different live-coding and processing techniques are used to make dense atomized swirls; electronic and sometimes chaotic abstract oceans of sound. Their music has been released on mappa, Infinite Machine, Gin & Platonic, Genot Centre, Conditional and Bio Future Laboratory, and has also been played in mixes by experimental producers like Aphex Twin, Daniel Ruane and ZULI.
Recently Forces has been exploring the different obsolete grooveboxes and devices of the 90s. For the Charm of Sound new space pilot event Forces will make a special set trying to use the sounds of a peculiar digital DJ toy, the Yamaha DJX-IIB.
H2O – Creatures is a process of looking at the massive cultural changes where water’s cyclical time was condensed into simple H2O form.
The mythical stories of water gave way to the linear time defined by a man. Human watery organs and the efficient processes created by them, work as modifiers of water structure and its flows in the environment. Water has become a commercially available, and manageable and disappearing material or a hidden landfill. However, our heart is beating like a watery vortex and as an element, water is still like a permeable channel, a cyclical cycle of time and an all-embracing sensor: by its very nature, a state that registers change and challenges the senses to a different experience of reality.
Äänen Lumo invites anyone with a connection to the sonic arts field to propose events for a new space for sonic arts in Vallila, Helsinki. This initial open call is for events to be organised in October, November and December of 2024. The open call is ongoing and proposals are evaluated by the 15th of each month, after which applicants are contacted as soon as possible.
Potential events include, but are not limited to: live performances, sound installations, performative gestures, lectures, workshops, series of get-togethers etc. We are also open to suggestions for simply getting involved with the new space, for example by sharing skills or knowledge, or helping out in any other way.
Äänen Lumo can offer the space and a number of resources (sound system, chairs, tables, etc.) free of charge. If needed, limited technical assistance can be provided upon prior agreement. Since the space is managed by a community of volunteers, the organisers / artists / applicants are asked to take responsibility for the event, for example covering the costs of transportation or rent of additional equipment, hosting guests, building any possible installations, hanging artworks and cleaning the space after the event. It is also asked that both the space and its resources are used with utmost care.
Äänen Lumo received a grant from Kone Foundation in 2023 to open a new space dedicated for sonic arts. This space is a multifunctional venue of approximately 180 m2, located in Vallila, Nokiantie 2-4. The idea is that it can serve as a concert and exhibition space, a place for discussion and learning, but also a get-together and leisure space for the community. Äänen Lumo will act as a coordinator for the space for the next two to three years, aiming to keep it horizontal and easy-access, placing emphasis on co-curation, commoning and community building. We are dedicated to organising events and projects centred around sonic practices, that follow the safer space principles and show an interest in co-curation and involvement during the time of the events.
The space is wheelchair accessible, but there are no accessible toilets.
Äänen Lumo ry has rented a space for sonic arts that is opening this autumn and wants to now invite the sonic arts field for an open discussion on Saturday August 17th, 2024 at 14–17. The idea of the discussion is to present the space and the thinking behind it, and to discuss related hopes and needs of the different actors in the sonic arts field.
We are at the moment in the process of preparing the venue and planning how it could work in the future, as a common location for sound art and experimental sonic practices. Welcome to take part in the discussion or just to see the space!

After a number years working towards a possible common space for the experimental sonic arts, Äänen Lumo is about to inaugurate Ääneen (working name) a pilot project in the heart of industrial Vallila, a community-driven, non-profit, DIY venue dedicated to sound art and experimental sonic practices. The large venue, financed by Kone Foundation and the city of Helsinki, will be hosting shared festivals, community events, workshops and more, and will officially open doors in the fall. Come join us on the night of the arts for an open door event where you can have a sneak peek of the new venue. You can listen to live music from the network of sonic communities of Helsinki, participate to a jam session, or just enjoy Ääneen communal atmosphere.
Äänen Lumo was born almost 30 years ago at the initiative of a small group of sound artists and experimental musicians. Naturally the shape of the association reflected the context in which it was formed as a vessel to curate and diffuse Finnish sound art, a very marginal practice at the time. The field was still strongly related to classic ideas of public/artists distinction, as well as top/down curatorial practices. Twenty five years later, the association, still an important reference point within a much more articulated field, has initiated a long term project of reform, in order to shift the accent, from traditional curatorial and diffusion practices, to those of community building and intra-communities networking. Some of the guidelines of this reform, as threads detected within the field itself have been: questioning power structures and gate-keeping practices, commoning, removing access obstacles to non-mainstream artistic activities with loose distinction between “producers” and “audiences”, horizontal knowledge sharing in the form of workshops and other peer learning events etc.
