Tomutonttu

Tomutonttu (Finnish for "dust gnome") is the solo name of Jan Anderzén, a Finnish musician and visual artist from Tampere. He records under this name in parallel with the group Kemialliset Ystävät, which he started in 1995. Tomutonttu records are crowded electronic sound collages made from toy reeds, treated voices and looped animal noises that move restlessly across the stereo field. The Finnish label Fonal released the Tomutonttu CD Dust Interface. Anderzén has also released the LP Kevätjuhla on the UK label Alter and the tape Trarat on Leaving Records in Los Angeles.
