Ilpo Vaisanen had been responsible for the official Down By The Laituri festival poster, and was during that time also a member of Ultra 3, an artistic group of wide-ranging interests which, after Mika Vainio joined, was renamed to Sin O.
Vaisanen was also involved with Guerilla Jazz Rules group. Mika says: "In the early eighties, we were very interested in industrial music like Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten and Suicide. Eventually our musical tastes turned toward reggae, hip hop and experimental music. When acid house began, that obviously heavily influenced us, but we haven't been following that scene either for several years now. Paul Smith, the main man of Mute's sublabel Blast First, saw Panasonic's gig in England at a club called Vox in autumn , and eventually signed the act to his label.
According the rumours the device was similar to those the police's riot forces were using, causing low frequency sounds to accelerate the rioters' bowel movements, thus incapacitating them by making them mess their pants As Jimmy Cauty is known as the master of disinformation, these rumours should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt.
At a recent Ars Electronica festival of Linz, Austria, Pan Sonic played in a train which circulated around an industrial area. Other memorable Pan Sonic prank was, of course, the group's original name nicked from the famous electronics manufacturer, which must have caused many frustrations to their record label. As Toshiba, the Panasonic Electronics' biggest competitor in Japan had plans to licence the group's music from Blast First, the change of name seemed to become more probable all the time.
The latest news tell that after having been contacted by the lawyers of Panasonic USA, who threatened the act and their record label with legal actions, from spring onwards the duo is officially to be called Pan Sonic. Thus were also crushed Ilpo's hopes that the band would have been sponsored by their electronics giant namesake Pan Sonic cite as their influences, first of all, Alan Vega's and Martin Rev's legendary proto-techno duo Suicide with which they were gigging in March ; not to mention the recorded collaboration with Alan Vega , industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubauten, the French "musique concrete" composer Pierre Henry and the eccentric cult rockabilly musician Hasil Adkins - Mika Vainio has sometimes jokingly called Pan sonic's music "horsemeat rockabilly".
Their sound is, according to Mika, increasingly moving away from the regular techno, and is now, for example, inspired by old Jamaican dub reggae and ska. And of course rockabilly, which Mika likes with a late's Eno-ish twist.
Mika considers their Japanese gigs with Yamatsuka Eye of The Boredoms some of the most important during their career; especially the Tokyo night was received very well among the press and the audience. Furthermore, Mika and Ilpo are into Hurriganes [sic], the "legendary" Finnish power trio of rock'n'roll Neandernthals back in the 70's the band's drummer-singer Remu couldn't speak English, so the lyrics were written phonetically for him, and so on.
Mika isn't really into today's "electronica" and its computer-driven sound, though Pan Sonic have increasingly delved into modern sampler technology as of late. The group also has an "extra member" called Jari Lehtinen who's responsible for building Pan Sonic's instruments with which their extraordinary humming sounds have been created.
But as one progresses from one track to the next, the atmosphere becomes colder, drier, and charged with electricity instead of electro beats. Electrical hums, crackles, and glitches fill the room. Loops occasionally provide rhythm but it sounds almost accidental. From IDM, the music descends into ambient techno, experimental techno, and then simply sound sculpting. By "Kurnutus," the listener is completely confused about what is techno music and what is electro-acoustic music.
