@tuonelamagazine wrote a lovely review of our reco @tuonelamagazine wrote a lovely review of our record release gig last week! Link in bio.

"Their jam space is what I would consider a form of organized chaos, as it’s full of sound boards and mics and keyboards and various electronic instruments and screens and goodness knows what else, yet these artists move through the space as if they’ve lived there their whole lives."

Missed it? Not to worry, you can still watch the whole thing rewind-style.

Have a great weekend <3

It’s Bandcamp Friday again! A perfect opportunit It’s Bandcamp Friday again! A perfect opportunity to support your favorite independent artists. 

If you buy our digital album, t-shirt or other merch today, Bandcamp won’t charge us their usual revenue share (which is small to begin with). Every penny goes to the artist. It’s like Fair Trade for music.

There’s a Bandcamp app that you can listen to your purchase with, or if you’re a true audiophile you can download a high quality WAV version of the record. Up to you 🙂

Anyways we love you. We’re so happy about all the nice words we keep hearing about the album!

I did this patch for the Modular Synthesizer on ou I did this patch for the Modular Synthesizer on our record release gig last week (links in bio), and I really wanted to try another piece of improvised music with it on this week’s Monday Jam episode. I utilize the new Mutable Instruments Beads module quite heavily. It’s great for this sort of an ambient sound. 

Drums and bass are made with my regular live setup - Elektron Analog Rytm MKII and Korg Monologue. There’s also some live looping with an iPad. If you’d like to know more, ask me in the comments section. -Lasse

Link to the full 6 min jam in bio!

PS. Listened to our record yet? It’s called ‘Everything Is In Between’ and it’s available on all DSPs right now <3

A beautiful thing about the Modular Synthesizer - A beautiful thing about the Modular Synthesizer - happy accidents. I was patching something else and came upon this sweet spot. Definitely one of those “nobody move!” moments. I’m pretty sure we’ll make a song out of this one. -Lasse

You know, tomorrow we’ll be sharing a teaser track from our debut album that drops next week! It’s a wonderfully hyperactive track called Assembly Out Of Line. Follow us on Spotify to get it on your Release Radar <3

Lasse goes crazy on a Eurorack modular on this wee Lasse goes crazy on a Eurorack modular on this week’s Monday Jam! There are some vocals too, through a vintage Japanese mic from the 60’s.

Our debut video Binaries came out exactly one year Our debut video Binaries came out exactly one year ago today! And what an exceptional year it’s been. Not a lot of possibilities to tour… but we did release 3 videos / 4 singles after Binaries, and on March 26 this year it’s finally time for the debut album ‘Everything Is In Between’ to see light of day. 

Since we still can’t tour, we’ll do a release concert online - tune in to our Socials on March 25 at 9pm CET for a full Pihka Is My Name live stream gig!

If you’d like to support us, consider pre-ordering the album or merch at Bandcamp <3  Link in bio.

Only two weeks to the release of our debut album ‘Everything Is In Between’. But before that we’ll have one more teaser single for you.
The hypnotic grooves of ‘Assembly Out Of Line’ will appear on all streaming services on March 19. The song is about not always being effective - sometimes it’s good to stop the cogs turning and just be still and chill. Pre-save the song, link in bio!

Much love, Pihka <3
