White Nights

The second album by the Finnish artist Anton Nikkilä is where he found his own voice while reaching for ”imaginary post-digital music of the Soviet Union”. The basic concept was the plunderphonic use of samples of Muzak and other elevator music, and their interplay with ventilator hums, industrial noises and references to the Soviet cult of technology and factory labour.

”Warmly recommended for friends of new experiences. ’White Nights’ is far from being a purely experimental work, but on the contrary allies magnificent sonic research with a sense of melody.” (Fabrice Allard, Etherreal, France)

”This recording is a collection of so many ideas, some brief and fully realized, some fleeting and improvisational – the kind of record that would be in the top ten on Mars back in the 60s.” (TJ Norris, SoundVision, USA)

”A masterpiece made of concrete sounds, electronic noises and unpredictable samples.” (Emmanuel Gryszpan, Zvuk, France).
