    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

    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.

    19.5.25 John Chantler, Andrea Mancianti

    Welcome to the Äänen Lumo concert in Toinen kerros!



    This time we are excited to have John Chantler performing solo with electronics. Another intriguing performance will be done by Andrea Mancianti who will present his work, “I am lost” which explores feedback of resonating systems.

    ////

    John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden working with synthesis and exploring the aesthetic implications of different infrastructure for electronic music performance. Originally from Australia he spent a decade in London before moving to Sweden in 2014 where he has directed an annual festival for ‘other music’ in Stockholm called Edition and runs Fönstret — releasing music by local artists and surfacing material from the festival’s archives.

    Andrea Mancianti is a composer, performer and sound artist mostly devoted to experimental sonic arts. He studied composition and music technology and completed the IRCAM Cursus in Paris (2013-2014). Currently he’s a Doctoral candidate in the department of Media, of Aalto University, Helsinki, researching how an ecosystemic approach to technology could contribute to a networked, collective understanding of artistic activity in Sonic practices.

    In Toinen Kerros (Nokiantie 2-4, Helsinki)
     
    Microtonal composer Sebastian Dumitrescu will perform his newest piece, ”Arrhythmia”. ”Arrhythmia” is an attempt at finding expressive harmony in the tuning system of 31 equal divisions of the octave.

    The concert will also feature a semi-improvised performance in Just Intonation by Dumitrescu and guitarist Mark Reid Bulatović.

  • 08.05.2025 / SPACE TALK – First year of Toinen Kerros

    08.05.2025 / SPACE TALK – First year of Toinen Kerros

    Welcome on the 8th of May to discuss the past year, and the future of our common sonic art space in Vallila.

    This May marks one year since Äänen Lumo started renting the space which is now known as Toinen Kerros.

    After the renovation and preparations of the space, now it has been seven months since the activities started, and there have been more than 30 different events, including concerts, exhibitions, discussions, workshops, rehearsals and more informal gatherings in Toinen Kerros. These have been organised by over 20 organisers, both associations and individuals.

    In the meantime we, as volunteers, have been working hard to make the space what it is now, and to support and facilitate its activities. We learned a lot and we feel it is time for a moment of shared reflection and discussion on these past months and future possibilities.

    We would like to invite you to participate to an open discussion on this first season and share some ideas for the future of this space! We welcome all organisers, artists and audience alike, who have been contributing to Toinen Kerros’ existence, as well as those who are just interested in the topic.

    We will offer coffee and some refreshments. Welcome!

    Thursday, the 8th of May at 17:00
    Toinen Kerros, Nokiantie 2-4, Helsinki

    Toinen Kerros is a fully volunteer-led, low treshold, DIY space for presenting, practicing, and encountering sonic art practices. Toinen kerros is founded and currently facilitated by the association Äänen Lumo, and it aims to function as a community space. Most of the rent and running expenses are covered by grant from Kone Foundation for three years, and during this time we aim to experiment ways to operate and plan for a possible future.
