the vienna mego label who brought you laptop computer noise
artists fennesz and pita presents one half of pan sonic on a solo
excursion into minimal raw electronica. not for the dancefloor,
but head music for the post-techno generation. much like in his
full-time job in pan sonic, ilpo vΣisΣnen weaves the raw noise of
electronic circuitry into detailed tapestries of rhythmic pulses
and elongated drones. while the form is by no means song
orientated, there are structures and detailed transitions between
symmetrical forms that tempt one to say this is really the pop
record of the post-industrial noise scene that began in the '80s
with throbbing gristle and non, and peaked with oval and rioji
ikeda in the '90s. the cold tones suggest the bare minimum of
means, raw electronic noise, sine waves, and sub bass throbs
without a trace of melody, like techno stripped back to the buzzes
of the machinery in malfunction. at some points, the lighthearted
may think that there is a nest of bees in the circuits of their
hi-fi, while the serious electronic composition listener may be
startled by the similarities to the work of early electronics
composer tod dockstader. like the american maverick, the finnish
electrician has the ability to make detailed sound architecture
with a very limited palette. at times, this feels a little bit
like a sketch for his greater project with mika vanio; while pan
sonic was so enormously influential on the electronic scene, it
would be hard for the members to break more new ground than they
did in the '90s. this recording is further affirmation that the
helsinki duo is infatuated with the noise of failing technology,
and that they have an amazing ability to transform those glitches
and throbs into enthralling hypnotic music. "easy listening for
the hard of hearing" could be the most apt description.
