Tomutonttu

Tomutonttu ("dust gnome") is a human called Jan Anderzén, a visual artist and the leader of a Finnish respected avant-garde sound group Kemialliset Ystävät (Jan also played with Avarus and Anaksimandros). Toy reed streams, mutilated vocals and groovy loops of animal noise are some of the colours used to create the whirling mess that is the lonely song of Tomutonttu. It is like a confusing detail of the Kemialliset Ystävät freedom flow, a microcosmos of strange sound creatures and dirt flying around in the stereo space and interacting with a logic all of their own.
