about
Tuomas Rantanen comes from Finland and his musical style is dark industrial techno. He has created a very unique music expression where strong driving percussions and rhythms combines to cold and dark atmosphere and ambience elements. Prior to his own music productions he studied classical guitar and theory of music at Tampere Conservatory, and in 1995 he also started to make his own music productions. Tuomas Rantanen strives to depict the soundscape of the modern technological society and its change through the medium electronic music. His aim has been to describe how nature has changed to an industrial nature and to show how radically the soundscapes surrounding us have also changed in a short period of time. In his music Rantanen tries to convey the feeling of how natural sounds have been replaced with different industrial, mechanic and electronic sounds over the course of time. Rantanen has dealt with the theme of change in nature and society in his works such as "Rocket Bay EP" (2003), "Dark Water EP" (2008), "Gasoline Rainbow EP" (2010) and in his 2011 "Grinding Ground" -suite that was released on City Wall Records. His new series of compositions, titled "Roaring Dunes", is a sequal to his 2011 City Wall releases. It will continue his artistic investigation of the changes happening in our audible environment and in our feeling of "industrial presence". Tuomas Rantanen has also dealt with the theme of societal change from the perspective of cyberpunk. Rantanen wa
