“Finland’s only electroacoustic ensemble” is how defunensemble describes itself.
But wait – don’t many groups mix up electronic and acoustic instruments?
Electroacoustic here refers to a tradition of splicing electronics into contemporary classical or ‘art music’, launched in the ‘50s and ‘60s by the likes of Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage, and extended by Steve Reich, Philip Glass and Pierre Boulez – all of whom are included in defunensemble’s repertoire.
