Juho Toivonen is a 25-year-old experimental musician from Pori, Finland whose debut solo tape “Lament & Rejoice” was released in 2021 and soon after that his sophomore follow up “Suurpää” came to see the light of the day. After these releases filled with deep drones and ominous ambience, Toivonen is reaching for new heights.
On his first solo vinyl “Kasveille ja Eläimille” Toivonen meditates using improvised repetitions made with untuned piano that is accompanied with occasional field recordings and sustained synthesizers. Ultraääni is proud to co-release this idiosyncratic long playing record with Netherlands very own Futura Resistenza.
