Best known as one-half of Pan Sonic (Blast First), Mika
is from Finland and now lives in Berlin.
"The most famous act to originate from Sähkö Recordings, Panasonic
(now called Pan sonic), first came into being in the summer of 1993 through
the meeting of two creative minds, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen.
Vainio had worked as a DJ in the 80's and created his own music with Pertti
Grönholm, as Corporate 09 " -TOUCH

He Was a Sound Sometimes - Vibrö 1
(track 07)
Taken from the album In The Land Of The Blind One-Eyed Is King (Touch # TO:54,
2003), published by Touch Music (MCPS).
“
Probably Vainio’s most accomplished work to date, a series of rich soundscapes
whose
beauty is always on the edge of darkness. (...) Not wanting to bang a drum, anyone
who has
been invigorated by the work of Mika and Ilpo in Pan Sonic will be keen to hear
these more
pastoral takes on their more propulsive sound in places, being reminiscent of
Artemyev’s
recordings for Tarkovsky films, in others, suggesting sound recordings of frogs
and insect life.
All framed by the distinct touch of Mika Vainio, who confirms his longstanding
reputation as
one of the most acute musicians of our times.” -www.touchmusic.org.uk |

“‘He Was a Sound Sometimes’ is
the ten-minute centerpiece, as well as perhaps the most
minimal song.
A smorgasbord of artificial buzzing, static, near-silence, and
anonymous tones
that, at the very end, even includes a test tone. Most notably, Vainio tosses
in the sound of a
needle skipping at the end of a record, or at least a close facsimile thereof,
that slows until it
vanishes.” -Mason Jones (Dusted Magazine) |
