Mika VainioÆs solo career as ╪ continues after a long break.
Kantamoinen is the first new ╪ album in nine years. It is also the
most melodic and romantic music Vainio has ever recorded.
╪ is Mika VainiosÆs longest lasting pseudonym. Vainio is best known as
the other half of minimalist electronic group Pan Sonic. The first ╪
album was released back in 1994 on SΣhk÷ Recordings, before Pan
SonicÆs recording career began. As with Pan Sonic, extremely
minimalistic expression is the most distinctive feature in ؒs music.
On ╪ albums Vainio has often created more atmospheric and abstract
pieces than with Pan Sonic.
Kantamoinen is a step into a new direction, from abstract to concrete.
It is more romantic than his earlier albums and also more personal.
Vainio doesnÆt want to think of Kantamoinen as a concept album, but
some of the tracks are inspired by VainioÆs childhood memories. The
summery photo on the album cover is of Vainios grandmotherÆs house in
ArtjΣrvi, Southern Finland. ôEspecially the last track Kotiin (To
Home) has to do with that placeö, says Vainio.
Vainio, born in Turku, South-west Finland in 1963, now lives in
Berlin. Technically Kantamoinen is typical Vainio. The music is almost
all done using analogue equipment. Because the settings on his
instruments can not be saved, the music heard on this album is unique,
unlike most of todayÆs electronic music.
Vainio will start work on the next Pan Sonic album with Ilpo VΣisΣnen
in summer 2005. It is due for release in the end of the year.
