Antti Rannisto, born 1978, is a Finnish minimalist whose ultra-spare sound was formed via a diverse background of various genres ranging from hip-hop to experimental music. He creates highly calculated music so stripped down to the basic elements that subtle shifts in panning, envelope, or phase become instruments in themselves. His palette is simple, pure, colorless, and free of any unnecessary sound or movement. It is minimalism in the truest sense. It is challenging music that demands attentive listening.

 

Antti Rannisto has released records on international labels of experimental music such as 12K, and/OAR, Ideal recordings.
His side project Rannisto is for the more rhythmic, casual and sometimes also humorous works.
