with vantaa, raster-noton releases for
the first time an album by vladislav
delay aka sasu ripatti. ripatti, one of
the pioneers of electronic music of the
last decade(s), who is known for several
projects, has attracted our attention
and received our respect most notably
under his pseudonym vladislav delay.
vantaa will be the beginning of a long
lasting collaboration, which will extend
and deepen the spectrum of the label,
whereas it falls in line with releases
of, for example, william bassinsky,
robert lippok, or mitchell akiyama.
even though complex electronic
manipulations are used, vantaa wants to
sound like a piece of nature, resulting
in a mixture of techno/dub and organic
textures. the tracks oscillate between a
decadent, greyish, post-industrial sound
cloud and the intimate atmosphere of a
vast and desolate finnish landscape.
ripatti plays with tiny rhythmic bricks
that drift and collapse, but
nevertheless create spaces that radiate
calmness and tranquility. being an
experienced producer, he uses his know-
how to layer compact sound fabrics in
unusual ways. in this case, these
elements arouse associations with
gushing water, crackling wood, or
growing grass. the tracks on vantaa
merge into each other and their density
escalates with älaumaô into an energetic
climax, which is all at once the
ecstatic, shamanic and truly moving peak
of the album.
vantaaæs style is sensitive and
intelligent, but nevertheless subtly
stirring and rich in detail. while
listening to it, it is possible to
completely dive into its matter and
detect something new in nearly every
bar, or simply let it have an effect as
a particular but unobtrusive sideline.
with this typical vladislav delay
aesthetic, ripatti has acquired an
unique and distinctive style that
vantaa, his 10th vladislav delay album,
deservingly celebrates.
