Osmo Lindeman - Electronic Works (2023)

Electronic Works by Osmo Lindeman compiles electronic music works of a Finnish hybrid of Monty Norman, Krzysztof Penderecki and Edgar Varèse first time on an album.
Lindeman composed these works in his private home studio during 1969–1974.

“Electronic music represents the future.
Today, its use is limited due to the complexity of available methods.
Eventually, when the technical production of electronic music becomes simpler, its use will undoubtedly increase. I doubt it will replace a live performance, but you never know.
Electronic music is in some way cold, but isn’t our current world cold?
In politics they talk about ”cold war”, to give an example.
Undoubtedly, there is something really cold about electronic music,
but every era creates art that is related to itself. And art is an essential part of the life we ​​live.
Eventually, I faced the same problems in electronic music composition
than when composing orchestral music.”
