ôThe albums that Finnish auteur Jan
AnderzΘn and his collaborators have
crafted under the name are remarkable
for their energetic, magpie eclectism:
The Incredible String BandÆs surreal
acid folk, via the alien tape
manipulations of GhΘdalia TazartΘs, as
re-jigged in the mind of Maurice Sendak.
But Ullakkopalo, three years in the
making, takes the projects colour-rich
maximalism to a whole other level.ö û
The Wire / Nick Richardson
"Nothing less than mesmerizing sonic
art" - Treble / Jeff Terich
"...the way Kemialliset YstΣvΣtÆs
hypnotic little melodies (ôYstΣvΣlliset
Miekatö being a great case in point)
emerge from the improvised thicket, and
the way everything is played,
notwithstanding the density, with such
brightness and clarity, is really
genuinely charming."
-Uncut / John Mulvey
ôJan AnderzΘn is one of the few Finnish
musicians to achieve renown on the
international experimental circuit. In
the case of AnderzΘn (who also plies a
trade as a visual artist), this is not a
matter of juxtaposition between the
experimental and the mainstream, or a
calculated career choice. Using music
and images, he is busy creating a world
that is a law unto itself, a world of
exceptional freedom and beauty.
KY albums have been peppered with
contributions from individuals such as
Islaja, the members of Avarus, and Sami
SΣnpΣkkilΣ. ItÆs not easy to tell who
plays what on Kemialliset YstΣvΣt
recordings. Rather than being a project
consisting of solo parts, the band is an
eco-system within AnderzΘnÆs reality.
One of the essential techniques applied
by AnderzΘn is collage, in sound as well
as image. He is no conventional
instrumental virtuoso; his music is
created with a fluctuating array of
instruments and equipment. The focus is
less on instrumental prowess and more on
the overall sound and impression, as
well as the tension between the various
materials. As a manipulator of these
elements, AnderzΘn is in a league of his
own. His sampler based solo performances
as Tomutonttu have left no doubt about
that.
A close listening of AnderzΘnÆs music
reveals its near architectonic
precision. He is known for an
exceptionally painstaking approach to
creating his music. All this hard work
is readily evident in the finished
product, not as an over-emphasised
complexity but as a clearly independent
fully realised vision.
Kemialliset YstΣvΣt is like a natural
phenomenon. It is difficult to imagine
anyone having consciously constructed
it, such is the ease with which it
presents itself to us. To be in the
presence of AnderzenÆs work is
captivating in the same way it is to
stare into the fire û simple, yet
inexplicable. It truly takes a master to
create such an experience, but listening
to the new Kemialliset YstΣvΣt album
evokes just that: a feeling of
lightness.ô
