Post Description

Ektroverde was formed in year 1996, and it relates to the musical family of legendary group Circle. Like other groups of these musicians from Pori, Ektroverde's musical styles vary and morph freely within borders of psychedelia, krautrock, postrock, jazz and analogue electronics. The soundtrack recorded for Mika Taanila's film "Futuro - A New Stance for Tomorrow" might be affected by the early 1990's Juhan af Grann's ufo documents and old russian scifi movies, lo-fi ambiences and subtle rhythms uniting in krautish manner. Record "Music for Supermarkets" focuses to more plastic-oriented minimal electro moods, and album "Ukkossalama" reminds the early albums of Can with shamanistic and jazzy flavors. In their own statement the group proclaims that they "do not restrict to traditional and accustomed forms of performing music, but operates as performances, rituals and happenings that frequently use to the logic of the conceptual art and investigate the act itself. In spite of the scientific approach Ektroverde does not exclude myths and stories but employs and produces them." (www.phinnweb.org) The key personnel of the group are Tomi Leppänen, Mika Rättö and Jussi Lehtisalo, accompanied with their various colleagues Mika Rintala, Markku Peltola, Pike Kontkanen, Teemu Elo, Jyrki Laiho and Mikko Elo among others. In addition of studio recordings the group has had live gigs in their homeland and Belgium, these performances focusing to long hypnotic improvisations.
