about

Juhani Silvola is a versatile Finnish/Norwegian composer, musician and producer with a masters degree in electroacoustic composition from the Norwegian Academy of Music, where he studied with Natasha Barrett.
In addition to being an uncompromising contemporary-music composer creating works where the traditional performer is irrelevant, he is also a highly regarded instrumentalist playing folk music & experimental jazz/rock/improv on acoustic & electric guitars. He has released five critically acclaimed solo albums, three successful and forward-thinking folk music albums with the violinist Sarah-Jane Summers, toured with Nils Petter Molvær, Susanna Wallumrød and Frode Haltli, and produced/mixed albums for bands such as Highasakite and Mokri.

lyrics

This piece marks a departure of sorts in my creative output. Previously my electronic work has been in electroacoustic contemporary music, indebted to both French and English traditions, as well as to acoustic chamber music from the 20th century. Datacombs, however, traces it’s lineage to dark minimal techno (although I’m no genre purist, and this is by no means correct “techno”). I remember watching an interview with Ritchie Hawtin, where he talked about really getting all the machines humming or singing together. So I hooked up a rig of drum machines, Eurorack and other synths (no computer involved), and spent a long time creating the sounds and getting every machine to sing together. When I felt I had arrived at a palette and patterns that worked, the track was performed live in one take and subsequently shortened/mixed in the studio (but nothing was added to the original recording). The title is borrowed from Nick Land.
