PokaPoka!

"PokaPoka! is a one-man project that aims to study the fringes of music, the relativity of sounds, and experiments in the field of new ways on improvisation, composition, and recording techniques. The project started as a way to try approach music as just sound itself, and try to fade the "artistry" of music institution away, and also as a way to capture the true essence of sounds as is, and not part of musical norms and codes. A self taught drummer for 17 years, DAW-experimenter for about 10 years, and a synthesist for 5 years PokaPoka is starting to slowly realise itself in the digital and material world, as the drop of the debut album "yhdessä" draws near. In future you can also expect works featuring: Solo Drums, Compositions made with sources like Nintendo switch "Composer" tool, Experiments in synthesis and sound manipulation, Free Jazz, and avant-garde left field noise. Hailing from Finland, Poka is working his Masters degree @ Helsinki University, interested in houseplants, art literature, and construction site light sources. Other areas of interest are philosophy of art, intuition of artists, avant-garde as a battle against the norms rather than a genre of music, and making music that gives something to the people, not just as an expansion of ones own desires."
