This one was a tall order...Joerg wanted this special "Welcome to the Machine" flavor....I probably just about managed. Welcome to the machine, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Joerg on drums and "Gimme triplets", me on Bass, Sequencers and screwdrivers....
Enjoy, Reinhard!

Project I-la-rI is a one-man experimental music project from Turku, Finland. The tunes are all original pieces composed by Ilari I. Rantala. The project began in 2015.

Hello my friends and welcome to my cloud! I play all the instruments in my music (unless noted otherwise in the song), sing, write the lyrics and deal with the aftermath myself. The tracks are recorded and produced with minimal equipment in my home, other places that are qualified as homes and in the field with a portable recorder. 

Enjoy the sounds!

Electroacoustic composer and improviser, sound engineer, primarily dedicated to incidental music. In his works we note the use of natural ambient sounds and the rhythmic component is often kept in the foreground and developed in an original way. In 2010 he founded the netlabel Studiolo Laps.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...

Synthesizers, Sequencers and Bass Guitars….the sonic me! Some pieces are available for download now ...for you to keep and listen to. Please respect my rights. 

You will find that since i have started to repost tunes the list of tracks gets longer and longer...
You still can access my work quickly by clicking on "tracks" right above.
But treat yourself to the tracks reposted as well!

You might want to check out MacroDX for his amazing synth sounds....a true space cadet. I just hope we get to jam again and .... don't touch those mushrooms! 
And speaking of drums.....go and check out Joerg Huenninghaus!
You will find links to both musicians below!
Peace, Reinhard!

Music is a moral law.
It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety, and life to everything.
It is the essence of order and leads to all that is good and just and beautiful.
