BURG – Pendulum Swing CD

Non-Berlin-based musician, synthesist, and producer Jouni Ollila aka BURG creates hauntingly beautiful, experimental and driving electronic techno music.
With an ever ongoing drive to evolve into new musical territories, he blends staggering minimal beats with ambient moods, manipulating his arsenal of electronic gear into creating cold and machine-like melodies.
This new album marks a new chapter in his musical evolution. Focused on melodies and danceability, it mixes cinematic scores with refined synthesised instruments and cathartic beats.
Pendulum Swing is Jouni’s fifth full-length release as BURG, and marks the 10th anniversary of the project he kicked off in 2013. “A lot of the tracks on the album were influenced by the prolonged isolation we were all captured in, like a bubble about to burst, as we were watching the world slowly dying outside our greasy windows. Like a pendulum clock ticking, a sign of the times telling us that the end is near.”All music by Jouni Ollila.
