Kaukolampi – why?

The late gigs at Roadburn are often the ones one should not underestimate, especially when an act goes on stage late and you might have never heard of that person - that is your chance to discover an amazing performance you would normally not have attended. In the case of Timo Kaukolampi your chance is the Saturday evening, when he will have one of the very last slots. And if you have an open ear for more than “just the riff”, if you like to discover electronica that showcases the connection between minimalist Techno, beat-oriented Krautrock and classical Ambient, then this guy is your thing. The way that Timo constructs his tracks is very cinematic - the beats get the chance to be more than just that, they can expand and condense, and with each tiny variation breathe life onto the Ambient spheres and shifty spaces. Kaukolampi’s music is made for the screen as he has meddled in soundtracking pretty often and has even won awards in that field. He will bring a cinematic experience to Roadburn, using a lot of vintage equipment and building a bridge between the first period of electronica and the newest wave, between opulence and reduction. Or should it be opulence through reduction? Decide for yourself on Saturday evening, when Kaukolampi will perform at Hall of Fame!

Kaukolampi will perform on Saturday, April 19!
