Ø ‎– Oleva (CD)


Ø is one of the various solo projects of Mika Vainio (Kentolevi, Philus and Tekonivel).  Mika was part of the techno / minimal / noisy electronic duo of Panasonic with Ilpo Vaisanen. Oleva which came out in 2008 is Mika`s seventh album. The music (13 tracks = 69.58 minutes) feels like a jam session with the likes of Cluster / Kluster, Plastikman and Louis & Bebe Barron (during their Forbidden planet soundtrack period). The end results is a sonic voyage in the land of minimalism
Minimal electronic
Minimal techno
Minimal noise / ambient noise
Lo-fi minimalism
Subtle shifting tones slowly colliding, minimal beats in the background, is that some type of lo-fi noise I`m hearing? An excellent album, an exercise in subtle minimalism. I`m proud to have this.
