This is Mika Vainio, one-half
of the minimal electronic music duo Panasonic (along Ilpo Vaisanen)
solo music project. Onko came out in 1997 on Touch (a UK record
label founded in 1982). I have a couple of Mika`s solo albums. Everything I
hear his music, I have the same reaction. A difficult, challenging, but
worthwhile listening experience. There`s four tracks (67.28 minutes) which are
1 – Kelvin (8.50 minutes) =
subtle ambient noise minimalism, amazing.
2 – Jos (6.03 minutes) =
electronic tones / frequencies slowly / subtly moving / shifting / going into
meditative ambient noise territory.
3 – Onko parts 1-11 (36.24
minutes) = a long evolving piece with subtle shifting movements of ambient
static perhaps + lo-fi hums + minimal electronics + rhythmic industrial noise +
more lo-fi hums + noisy drones + short rhythmic drones + ambient noise + more
minimal electronics + a stripped-down tribal beat with soft ambience near the
end.
4 – Viher (green / cellular)
(16.11 minutes) = a long shifting drone track. An interesting album if you can
find it.
