Surrounded by and giving life to one of the northern-most, temperate rainforests in the world, the Pacific Northwest's chalak’At’sit (Hoh River) carves its way from the glaciers of Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast.

Close your eyes and let the soundscape of chalak’At’sit envelope you in her emerald, verdant embrace. Layered embers of ethereal tones flicker, then quickly disappear across undulating waves of pirouetting idiophonic vibrations. Thus begins a psychedelic trip through exothermic rainforest-scapes and climaxes nestled in lush, majestic reverie.

Headphone listening recommended, for the sonic details.
The immersive audio-visual trip is best viewed in HD on Youtube:

Descent into ...

The moon remained silent

Volver

Tarde para la ira

Upside down people

Multicoloured blasts of undulating, unstable tapestries, ricocheting Dancehall mutations over reverbed-out dread techno bassline warps

Raised on a diet of  1970s Afrobeat, Jùjú music & genre-defying Black American pop, Ruoho's music draws upon the visceral aesthetics of dub, techno, garage & impractical melodic leitmotifs from experimental electro-acoustics, fusing them into imaginative new exhilarations, sometimes 4-on-the-floor, other times Avant-dubwise or ambient. His music has been described by some as “vaporous”, “aching and expansive” & “a wicked dub abstraction”.

Ruoho won an international BBC Radio 1 remix competition, reshaping Steve Reich's seminal piece “Music for 18 Musicians” & has released 12" vinyl records on numerous boutique labels like Unfulfillment (Montréal), Zero G Sounds (Boston), Thoughtless Music (Toronto), de'fchild productions (San Francisco), Adjunct Digital (Los Angeles), Skor Records (Los Angeles), Auralism (San Francisco) & Creaked Records (Switzerland). He has performed live at the Winter Music Conference (Miami), Decibel Festival (Seattle) as well as numerous underground venues across North America.
