Hei is the producer of “Laivoja Ja Junia” the first full-length release on White Noise. This album is an all-out ambient excursion and as such it is clearly benefited by continuous listening. With the minimalist’s approach Hei succeeds in making tracks that are filled with to the brim with atmosphere. At times with a quite sinister underlying theme. He incorporates instruments and/or samples taken from the realm of Finnish folklore including accordion and violin to great effect. The end-result is mystical, beautiful and very much reminiscent of the endless dark forests of the North. White Noise’s musical path seems to have to diverged into two distinct trails one on hand the deranged electro of their first split release by Chambre Noire/Schräge Musik and the upcoming abusive singles’ series. And on the other the thoroughly ambient works of Hei. It’s an intriguing development. And a last note on the current level of education or lack thereof, as it depressingly enough seems that it is not evident that White Noise is a reference to sound and not an ill conceived notion of supremacy… the individual(s) perplexed by the name will probably not read the ED reviews, but anyway here goes: White Noise def. “A random-like signal with a flat frequency spectrum. Doubling the bandwidth doubles the noise power and increases total noise voltage by the square root of two.”
