Aavikko, founded in Siilinjärvi in 1995, is functional functional music, shaping electronic sound with synthesizers. The band, which has been around for three decades, is the culmination of the utopia of retro-futuristic Eastern Bloc synthesizer bands of yesteryears, resolutely commanding rhythms and dance-whipping melodies. The group's expression is best summed up by yet another trinity: melody, harmony and rhythm. Muysic non stop.
The term "muysic" used by the band for its music is intoxicatingly addictive in all its simplicity. Already six albums' worth of expression recorded on tape is as engrossing as the logos of entertainment programs or the rows of supermarket shelves. It does not include trust in technology itself, but the desire to use electronic technology as a way to the human soul and heart. One of the hallmarks of the band's live performances is the impossibility of not dancing while the band plays - this is also summed up by the simple command familiar from gigs: "we play, you dance".
