Music for the Pan Sonic Tribute Concert

A live recording of our performance at the Tribute to Pan Sonic concert. It was part of the Musica nova Helsinki 2019 festival, organized by the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and Korvat auki ry.

Our idea was to present a partially improvised new work in which electroacoustic composition, minimalism and experimental electronic music meet West African musical influences, in a form inspired by Pan Sonic’s abstract, subdued and uncompromising aesthetic.

Composed by Petteri Mäkiniemi and Ilpo Jauhiainen. Additional improvisation by Heikki Nikula and Jaani Helander.
