Akusmata

The Finnish ambient artist Tuomo Väänänen (Helsinki, Finland) makes sounds and music with both electronic and acoustic means. His mysterious brand of ambient is full of hissing, buzzing and droning noises that completely envelop the listener in their dreamlike web. Sometimes the outcome is built into a grid-like temporal structure, sometimes it flows freely in the space and around the listener. Tuomo is also part of Ljudverket, which is a small record label and a collective of like-minded musicians.
