TRAUM Schallplatten

Esa Ruoho started composing electronic music in the mid-1990s and, after 2000 has been releasing recorded music (remixes, compilation-tracks, original work) on many labels, on such labels as deFocus records (Great Britain), Merck Records (Miami, Florida, US), U-cover (Belgium) and many others.Being born in Finland led to a detectable melancholia and a juxtaposition of chilly coldness reminiscent of the Finnish winters and a mixture of dampness, warmth and morning dew-like freshness bearing a striking similarity in feel to the forests during the seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

Esa was marinated in a layer of inspiration and support from fellow Finnish composers, helped along by luminaries such as Brothomstates (Warp) and also, early on, with the IDM/Electronica couplings of Merck Records, Neo Ouija and the tracker / demoscenes.

His Dew and Smog EP is a collection of four tracks, made in the varied areas of the grayness of French Place, Shoreditch/London (Goodbye Frenchplace), in the middle of the morning during a rainstorm near the mountains of Rila/Bulgaria (Dew), the buzzed out suburbia of Kontula, Helsinki/Finland (Clavia Sunday Smog) - and the various areas of Belogradchik&Pomorie&Plane back to Finland from Bulgaria (Dubkop).

The EP kicks off with the title track „Night Cycle“, displaying a fantastic build-up of energy in the beginning that unfolds into a euphoric and vibrant piece of electronic music. Coming alive as an epic sonic experience, it can also be described as a blend of electro, techno, and abstract sounds, giving the track a universal and classic feel.

The closing track „Quercer“ is a wonderfully melancholic take on the genre, firmly placing itself in the world of cinematic music. The track includes surprising compositional changes towards the end, providing extra excitement and sophistication.

„Mustang“ conquers the perpetual ladder of baroque sounds with such elegance and force that it tingles the brain for minutes after it has ended

„Escom 95“ directly opens up like an umbrella of electronic music, with a strong melody that steers you through wonderful changes of direction, including corrupting glitchy sounds. Despite all the changes, „Escom 95“ propels forward through a firework of melodic progression, contour, and contrast, driven by Christopher Leary's masterful hand.
