Pan Sonic (they were also called Panasonic before legal issues took away the letter A) are two guys from Finland, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, who started out with long-term, low-frequency, high-decibel experiments and organizing rave parties in the country where “hardly anything happens ever”. The minimalistic music of Pan Sonic is composed “from a forbidding array of pure tones, sinewaves, pulses, electronic squelches and ultrasonic waveforms,” and a humorous attitude, “skilfully arranged into an accessible rhythmic package” mainly taken from the bowels of custom-built sinewave generators.
Given songs titled “
Kurnutus” or “Rutina” (that is “Croaking” and “Crackle”), the environmental buzz, crackles and hums emanating from the speakers are hardly a surprise. Despite suggesting a harmless set of natural (sounding) frequencies, Pan Sonic have built up a reputation for fearsome live volume levels and atonal indulgence.

I watched the Kuvaputki DVD yesterday. I think everyone who likes Pan Sonic should watch it. The visuals really work excelently with the music. Probably the best audiovisual experience I've ever had.
