Metallisilmä, Haaksirikko is a composition in four parts; an assemblage created out of many disparate and heterogenous sound sources.
It seeks to find meaning and poetic sparks of beauty in the tensions between several different binaries:
between the musical and the nonmusical,
between the mundane and the uncanny,
between the objective and the subjective,
between the abstract and the visceral.
Taneli Viljanen is a Finnish artist working mainly with words and sound. They have previously published three tapes of music and four books of experimental fiction.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce

So soothing! So ominous. A warning siren for someone, but not you. This is a drone I can return to endlessly, knowing that it will calm me and give me some focus. Mister Meows
