Ville Aalto

Sound artist & electronic musician based in Helsinki, Finland.

 

Works with synthesizers, creates artificial, electronic versions of natural sounds and presents them in the form of surround sound installations, electronic music recordings and live concerts.

 

Main body of work filed under Avian Electronics. Synthetic birds sing under voltage-controlled weather systems, artificial grasshoppers chirp in digital forests.

 

The world is moving forward at an unprecedented pace, our accelerating technological developments affect everything - how permanently are we changing the environment that surrounds us? What sorts of natural sounds will we hear 25 years from now? Avian Electronics is one way of listening to these questions, a universe of organic synthetic sounds, blips and beeps, chirps and tweets. What is real, what is natural, what is artificial?
