Through its somewhat organic flow, the drone is processed and therefore subtlely shifts and morphs slightly without ever actually changing shape, only smoothing or sharpening its edges, its color, its overall brilliance, until it seems to have slowly degraded into a gentle feedback of its own origins. Like all lengthy pieces of such vein, there are better moments than others, some offering remarkeable reward especially when layers of electronics flow into what appears to be a semblance of musical-oriented ambiance. Onko is obviously the deffinitive track which deffines both the album itself as well as showcases Mr Vainio as both comfortable and an expect in the art of controlled audio chaos, seeing as how everything appears warranted and planned, as if nothing was left to chance, something of a true rarity in the domain of non-linear abstract electronic experimentalism. There are cds that are just calculated, meditative metallic buzzes and clicks (Kajo, Onko) to completely off. Mika Vainio - posted in Music Discussion: Just wondering about Mika Vainio after listening to his collaboration with Sean Booth, and having Kesto. It requires a certain amount of appreciation to be able to notice the subtleties offered throughout the numerous movements of the track, which includes a hint of field recordings as well as some pulse manipulations which create a sense of rhythm without having to resort to the thumping of drum machines. Of Mika Vainio's rapidly expanding catalog, Onko is one of his broader, more varied works. Ovbiously a more attention demanding track due to its sheer length, it also offers the most movement and variety albeit somewhat still static in aesthetics.
Perhaps not as abbrasive as the opener, but deffinately a lesser easy listening experience.
It is a rather non-aggressive and non-threatening piece even though its out-of-tune transistor radiowaves feel would suggest otherwise.įollowing with Jos (translated as If), an almost inaudible high-pitched tone grows in volume until it is accompanied by lesser earache inducing drones with a cumulative effect of an unerving audio test experiment.
