Pan Sonic Kesto

That's a weird comparison to make

ha

<3 It's A Muthang

think in terms of magnitude and concept and it's not weird at all. since '69 love songs' merritt has just been making… records.

<3 corona

so damn heavy

i thought i had posted about this, but maybe it was on the metal thread.

'gravitoni' is great and i haven't been able to listen to it since cold weather and dark nights set in. i don't want to rip apart the fabric of reality and leave an empty hole behind if there's no hot air around to fill the void.

that's exactly when i start listening to pan sonic

and why

ok, puncturing the fabric as we speak, watch out

A much-needed brain colonic for this awful time of year. Thanks for the reminder...

new release imminent:
http://kvitnu.com/pan-sonic-oksastus-soon-on-kvitnu/

ah, ok, "Live album recorded in 2009 in Kyiv, Ukraine." which makes sense (kvitnu are based in kiev)

released: 20.02.2014

http://kvitnu.com/releases/kvitnu33/

I ordered from the label. We'll see how long this takes, as it's coming direct from the Ukranian postal system!

Nice cover art:

ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

such a beautiful and enrapturing recording

drinking lots of coffee on a preternaturally dark rainy spring afternoon and letting this proliferating noise envelop the place

does anyone have other recommendations from the kvitnu label

i like zavoloka's stuff, the lead track on Svitlo ep especially. and the Viter / Verdena lps. Plaster and Sturqen also (think emptyset)

some of the other bands like the loud white noise thing, which doesn't appeal to me.

(lots of samples on amazon.co.uk)

four threads for Kesto...

anyway, now available digitally:

(and other places)

this band was the best

now it's all just pizza and waves and whatever

man

I really like Mika's Konstellaatio release this year.

that one is minimal even by mika's standards and it took a few listens to sink in. it's really pretty, I go back to it a lot now.

It certainly rewards more from return plays, the first track Otava feels like the imaginary soundtrack from Vonnegutt's unmade Cat's Cradle movie. I know that sounds like absolute bollocks, but that is how it sounds to me!

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

the final pan sonic release, a soundtrack

unless a label has been holding on to another archived live release

^ this is good, they are always good, we were never good enough for them

RIP Mika Vainio:

http://www.rumba.fi/uutiset/suomalaisen-elektronisen-musiikin-pioneeri-mika-vainio-kuollut/

This is terrible news, I saw him play only a few weeks ago.

Oh no. Fuck.

Damm, RIP. Last saw him performing a couple of years ago as part of a trio and he made the nastiest noises with the least effort - very cool dude.

I saw Pan sonic (they may not even have changed the name yet) in 2000 or 2001, opening for Wire in New York. Two anonymous-looking dudes sitting behind a table loaded with what looked like homemade electronic junk, making these unearthly, building-rattling sounds. It was really amazing, and kind of opened my eyes in some ways as to what live music could be (I was still very much in a rock band/jazz group mindset in terms of what a show "should be").

Yeah, building-rattling is exactly right - saw Panasonic supporting Suicide in a pretty small London venue and distinctly remember going to the gents toilets during their set and finding all the cubicle doors vibrating quite violently on their hinges.

oh no! RIP :(

sad news

not the revive I was expecting tbh. :(

RIP and damn, only 53

:(

what! no no no no no - RIP :(

Yeah 53 is no age

what the hell

RIP

fuck

Jesus..

Man, that's a shock. Figured he would just keep on for decades. Never did see him or Pan Sonic live in the end, and now regret it.

In recent years I thought his Konstellaatio and Kilo albums were both so great, and still not sounding like much else.

RIP

Have listened to so much Ø stuff this year, I think that project was some kind of platonic ideal of minimal techno.

absolutely, agreed

Man

I was able to see him live once and was sad when he cancelled an appearance at a festival I was at a couple years later because I was really looking forward to seeing him again. Such an incredibly influential musician
