Bleep

The late Mika Vainio left behind plenty of unreleased material after his passing in 2017. ARC 1 represents the first in a series of releases that draw on Vainio’s archives. The material here was constructed for a 1994 radio project, entitled Ambient City, that Vainio performed as Ø. Both sides here begin with perturbed ambient synth-scapes - grumbling LFOs, digital noise, that sort of thing - before settling into long tonal drones. Think Charlemagne Palestine.
