RinneRadio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RinneRadio is a trio of musicians from Finland. Operating on the boundaries of jazz and electronic music, the output of RinneRadio has been described as "some jazz, plenty of techno and ambient influences, a few poppy melodies, and hints of world music" [1]. The biography on the band's website provides this description of the music they produce: "RinneRadio fuses electronic underground beats with progressive jazz. As the rhythms of drum’n’bass and hip hop are fermented with dark dub, lush ambient soundscapes and timeless soprano sax textures, the resulting brew becomes equal parts sexy trance jazz and surreal dance music." [2]
The band was formed in 1988 by saxophone player/reedsman and composer Tapani Rinne, who still leads the band. RinneRadio currently consists of Tapani Rinne (reeds), Verneri Lumi (electronics), and Juusonik (percussion). RinneRadio have also collaborated with Sami yoik singer Wimme Saari on a number of his albums, and vice versa.
