Niko-Matti Ahti

*100 copies limited edition* A strange and alluring admixture of guitar and sine tones, electronics, and field recordings. The sounds have a crystal-like clarity that allows for the perception of their depths and distances. Its episodic form is structured by a compositional spine — with its irregular vertebrae both cohering its shape and allowing it flexibility. As its title suggests, Looking For A Ruler is involved in the construction of space, the stitching together of a world wherein perspective is always a composite: of the concrete materiality of sound and its abstraction, of the ‘real’ acoustic space and its fictional elaboration — these are arranged, assembled, and held in a tight, suspenseful dialogue.
