WHAT?

pd2009
Umpio means vacuum in Finnish language. As in a light bulb.

Umpio stands for voodoo noise and junk electronix.

I make nonstruments out of scrap metal objects that I pick up from wherever I can. I mostly only trade , but occasionally I make a few for sale.

I've put out stuff via Zerga Records in the past, and you should pick up some from KPK below.

KUUSI PIENTÄ KUSTANTAJAA
7" VINYLS

I need a balance of music and experimental sound art in my life. That's why I also play in Cosmo Jones Beat Machine and with Pharaoh Pirttikangas, in Les Manures with Keränen, in Nunnauuni with Jalvin Tosca, and sometimes with Tampo, so check it out.
