With the double CD Define Function, defunensemble defines its own functions. CD1 introduces pieces for solo instruments and electronics, highlighting each instrumentalist and sound engineer. CD2 explores ensemble configurations of varying size. For anyone interested in microtuned organ samples, digital error sounds, weird Moog filters or glitchy harp textures, this is a must-listen! Formed in 2009, defunensemble has quickly established itself as one of the preeminent contemporary music groups in Finland. The ensembles singular mission is to delve vigorously into the world of electroacoustic art music, bringing it to an enthused and ever-expanding audience. defunensemble regularly gives Finnish premieres of the most crucial electroacoustic repertoire, classic and current, and actively commissions new works incorporating the latest technologies.
