Atte Kantonen

Atte Elias Kantonen is a Helsinki, Finland-based composer, sound artist and sound designer working in the fields of experimental
music and performing arts. In his works, Kantonen explores the potential of elastic synthesis and processed sound as
vessels for abstract, phantasmagorical storytelling.

Inspired by the multitude of layers and dichotomies that worldbuilding through sound can contain, he creates compositions where the serene and the discordant constantly fold in on themselves, revealing a sliver of the other.

Kantonen has released music on labels mappa (SK), SODA GONG (US), Superpang (IT) and OOH-Sounds (IT) among others and his
multi-channel compositions have been presented on festivals such as Akousma (CA) and Sonic Acts (NE).
