  4. Sähkö Recordings story from ex magazine, 1994. "Finnish album covers generally reflect well the music that they contain."

  5. Listening to Ø and what appears as an early version of Atomit (Niels Bohr Edit) but is called Sahko Movie Soundtrack on Sähko Rec. Cat.No. 006.12. I feel numb, and I'm not. Bittersweetness of letting go.

    As I press myself to the vibrating wall, a pair of Meyer Sound HD-1 do their best to shake my lungs. Almost into the red zone, breaking the evening's silence. Outside the window, late capitalism's ruins glow like Cherenkov radiation eery in the winter night. Fuck capitalism.

    Tears dry then rush again as the moody atmosphere shifts, the deep bass giving back a sense of living in a body, sensations of modulating acidic swirls. Fuck heteronormativity.

    Today is a gift.
    That‘s why it‘s called present.

  8. Miten Mika Vainion taiteilijanimi Ø luetaan? Olen sen tässä kirjoittanut merkillä "latin capital letter O with stroke" niin kuin tehdään Vainion omalla veppisivulla ja Wikipediassa. Se olisi siis lähinnä norjalainen ö. Kirjastossa levyt aakkostetaan ö:hön.

    Mutta haluaisin ajatella, että Vainiolla oli tarkoituksellisen moniselitteistä nimeä keksiessään mielessään enemmän tyhjä joukko, jonka samannäköinen merkki on ∅, "empty set".

    @phinnweb käyttää Vainio-tekstissään ensin mainittua merkkiä.

    Onko asiasta olemassa virallista tietoa?
