Astrobotnia

admin — 2011-01-31T11:00:00Z

Completely in line with, but surprisingly not being a 'real' Aphex Twin, Astrobotnia's music is filled with drill-tempo beats, curious melodic lines and hazy, rarefied electronics. Astrobotnia (=Aleksi Perälä) also stands for the broken drill and bass-like Ovuca.

Its members work as artists, stage designers, film directors, and take part in public art events or collaborative theater projects with groups or theaters, such as Derevo (RUS/GER), Lantaaren (NL), Toihaus (A), Slava Polunin (RUS).
