Ville Aalto is the Finnish sound artist and electronic musician presenting our 20th mixtape. Originally from Helsinki, Aalto has been working on a project called Avian Electronics for a few years now. The main focus of the project is creating and imitating birdsong with synths and it includes surround sound installations, sound art works and electronic music featuring synthesized birds and other natural sounds. Aalto has recently published the first album related to this project, also titled Avian ElectronicsThe music on the album is primarily divided into electronic, rhythmic works and 'ambientish', droning works that are a sort of loose electronic interpretation of natural soundscapes. The project is a slightly twisted love letter to the sounds of birds and nature. It aims to raise questions about the relationship between us, nature and technology as well as the changing (aural) environment that we live in and affect all the time. The artist states that nature as a stable, separate entity does not exist.
