Non-Event is proud to present the first Boston appearance in many
years by legendary electronica outfit Pan Sonic - the duo of Mika
Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen - who are making a rare and brief US tour
this September.
"There is no theory for PAN SONIC. We have no plan. We just make the
music." - Mika Vainio
Finnish minimalist techno group Pan sonic are among the most active
and well-known artists from that country's tiny experimental techno
underground, and the first to reach acclaim at an international level.
Pursuing the jagged edges of minimal techno and hardcore, the group
have earned an enduring association with industrial and noise music
through their incorporation of antiseptic production techniques and
power-tool electronics, landing them in 1995 on the English Mute
label's experimental subsidiary Blast First! (most of their catalog to
date has since appeared there). The affinity lay more at the surface,
however, as Pan sonic are better understood as a collision between
Jeff Mills and Mike Ink; dance-based electronic music with a maximum
of impact, realized through a minimum of extraneous detail. Known for
junking together studio equipment from spare parts and ancient analog
debris, Pan sonic's search for the untried in techno is their
compositional M.O., placing them closer to the music's Detroit roots
than is often understood.
"[Pan Sonic are] the only band taking our idea further" - Alan Vega of
Suicide
