Finnish Electronic Music – A brief checklist

Finnish Electronic Music – A brief checklist This page will be updated later. Finnish synthesizers In the 1960s and early 1970s Erkki Kurenniemi (1941-2017) designed and built such instruments as DIMI, DICO, Sähkökvartetti (the Electric Quartet), etc. Otherwise Finnish composers, musicians and producers utilised mostly imported US and European hardware, such as MiniMoog, Korg’s synths, etc. One of the Finnish synth pioneers was the musician Esa Kotilainen who imported his first MiniMoog from Germany in the early 1970s. Before that, the use of musique concrète type of spliced tapes and manipulating the sounds of simple oscillators or traditional instruments through a mixing desk were a typical production technique for the early Finnish electronic composers when synthesizers were not available yet.

Amuri Tekno interview documentary

Kuva
Amuri Tekno are Miika Salo and Miska Väänänen, hailing from Tampere, Finland. Their music is a homegrown blend of Detroit-inspired techno, tech-house, acid house, IDM, and ambient. They have released on such Finnish record labels as Kontact Records, Spin Records and Turun Levytehdas. They are both of the generation who was coming of age during the halcyon days of the early 1990s techno music and rave culture explosion which spread also to some more peripheral regions outside the obvious Detroit-London-Berlin axis, and furthermore, spawned such new musical genres as IDM and drum & bass. For some years now pHinnWeb has been a big fan of Amuri Tekno's music, so it was time to find out about their origins, ideas and views. For the interview, often accompanied by a hearty laughter, they share their insights not only about their own productions and instruments but also of being long-time music fans, discussing their favourite artists, labels and records, Tampere’s local scen

Space: 1999 and other Gerry & Sylvia Anderson productions on Finnish TV

Kuva
Updated 23 August 2022 Space: 1999 and other Gerry and Sylvia Anderson productions on Finnish TV The Finnish debut of the Year One of Space: 1999 took place in July 1976. In Finland the series got the title "Avaruusasema Alfa" ("Space Station Alpha"). (The episodes were subtitled in Finnish, as in Finland only children's cartoons are dubbed in local language.) This was not the first Anderson production seen in Finland, though. Gerry Anderson's puppet series Supercar launched as early as 1963 on Tesvisio (also known as TES-TV) and Tamvisio. Both were early Finnish TV channels which were merged to Yleisradio (Finnish Broadcasting Company) in 1964 and became YLE TV2 in March 1965. Stingray was the next TV production by the Andersons that had its run in Finland, as part of Mainos-TV's spring 1965 schedule. The Finnish title of the show was "Kapteeni Myrsky" (translates as "Captain Tempest"). The first episode of Thunderbi
