On 'Susiovet', the second full length as W, Eero Pulkkinen reimagines conventional composition techniques and explores the uninhibited possibilities of choreography within musical arrangement.

Across the album’s ten titles, Pulkkinen carefully extracts sounds out of the cacophony of an imaginary cityscape and places them under a magnifying glass for a closer examination. Sounds are frequently solitary and distant, like the communications of an unknown species or a distant star, urging the listener to focus on the smallest detail. The serene, glass-like ambiance is interrupted with Musique Concrète-esque bursts of unruly noise, that represent the erratic surroundings of Helsinki’s Kurvi neighbourhood, where Pulkkinen recorded the majority of the music. 'Susiovet' challenges the nature of structure, repetition and arrangement in music; themes are explored in minimal fashion, barely enough to portray a flickering image of a scene - often barren and desolate.

Created at studios in Helsinki and the EMS in Stockholm, where Pulkkinen had access to a rare Buchla system, 'Susiovet' is an intriguing entity of contrasting realms; virtual and concrete, the familiar and the unknown.
