Raino Kortekangas is a Drone Music studio project that builds pieces from three layers: electronic tones, location recordings and processed voice. The field material leans towards cold, open environments, such as ice cracking, snow underfoot and empty coastlines, while oscillators hold long pedal notes underneath.
The voice is used sparingly, stretched into breathy drones that sit somewhere between wind and song. Structure comes from gradual fades rather than sections. The atmosphere is northern, wide and still, and the pieces gain from being heard in full, without skipping, so the slow changes in density can register.
