	Pan Sonic History
		Other memorable Pan sonic prank was, of course, the group's original name nicked from the famous electronics manufacturer, which must have caused many frustrations to their record label.
		Pan sonic also created a test tone specially for experimental London radio station Resonance 107.3 FM, which was broadcast on 10 June, 1998.
		Pan sonic were planning a gig for the New Year's Eve 1999/2000 to New Zealand, where they should have played by a volcano, but nothing seemed to come out of this in the end.

	pHinnWeb: Pan sonic receives Finnish State Prize for Arts
		Pan sonic are among the outpourings of the lively Turku electronic music scene that combined the best aspects of techno, performance and minimalism in the 1990s.
		Around the same time, Sähkö Recordings was founded, and Pan sonic soon became its most successful artist being equally home at the music festivals as well as art museums and installations.
		Well, this is great that Pan sonic finally get the recognition they deserve in their own home country, but one could ask if this was really so if they hadn't manage to make it internationally.

	PAN SONIC Kesto (234:48:4)
		As on previous records, Pan Sonic use a range of purpose-built analogue tone generators on these thirty-three compositions, which were recorded live to DAT tape.
		Despite the aggressive context of CD one, one cannot but notice that for the first time in their career, Pan Sonic seem to be evolving in more human surroundings, with shards of melodies crossing the sonic scope almost constantly.
		That is the strength of Kesto: although each CD shows a different approach to Pan Sonic’s natural environment, this album appears incredibly consistent, as if, for the first time, they had the chance to piece the diverse elements of their work together and give them a purpose.

	Adventures In Sound: Pan Sonic
		The Finnish sonic explorers, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Vaisanen and at one point Sami Salo, took it upon themselves to use the name panasonic for their ultra-minimal techno project.
		On April 25th 1999 I was educated on what the term Panasonic signified in the eyes of the Finns, as I stood in front of a stack of speakers and was excavated, plunged and mesmerized by every sound.
		Pan sonic the main reason why it is minimal, because we feel it is the best way to explore sounds in the end, that is the best way to explore the micro-structure of the sounds and the nature of the sound in a way.

	Mute.com: Pan Sonic: Biography
		Directly after Aaltopiiri's release, uninspired by the traditional rock and roll performance circuit they had so elegantly mastered since their public birth in 1995, PAN SONIC undertook a mammoth round-the-world tour that was organised via an enthusiastic response to two small adverts in The Wire music magazine.
		Those familiar with PAN SONIC's work may detect a correlation between their use of sound and Bacon's use of paint; the KESTO recordings represent a substantial new depth and vitality in the quality of their sound palette that brings a newfound life force and delicate violence into their music.
		PAN SONIC have remained true to their original and pioneering use of their special handmade analog tone generators, more old radio set than synthesisers, with the occasional use of digital samplers for the more rhythmic sounds.

	Enculturation: David Rieder
		During their show, it was obvious that Pan Sonic developed music that was both sensual and intellectual, but it was the sensual side of their music that most impressed me. At base, their music is not meant for a functional ear.
		Pan Sonic's repetitive, low-fi tones are for the ear as much as the arm or a stretch of skin down one's back.
		To experience Pan Sonic's savage dronings is to experience a "becoming disembodied." Theirs is sound for the lumpen, i.e., sound for decoded territorialities that have the capacity to pass ripplings of powerful, low-fi soundscapes across one's dis-organized body.

		If you ever have a chance to attend a Pan Sonic show, it is highly recommended you stand as close as possible to the stage to get the full effect.
		Pan Sonic have the wonderful ability to permeate your ears and mind and put you right out of your life with their nominal and hypnotic musical minimalist opulence.

	pouring empty into the void
		The seventh illusion is condemnation, and Adamson and Pan Sonic's choral arrangements, recorded in an Icelandic church and conducted by Hördur Bragason, a former associate of Viennese Aktionist Hermann Nitsch, is suitably austere.
		Where Pan sonic’s electronic rumblings were just that in the original, The Hafler Trio has seen fit to flip that idea on its head and create the pulsing rumbles out of the choir’s voices instead.
		The second half of the CD is my favorite, where Adamson and Pan Sonic give their baby to Hafler Trio, who move voices around, occasional cover/vibrate them with a different kind of digital interference, and make something that is rawly beautiful, capable of startling the listener's expectations without actually startling the listener.

	The History of Rock Music. Pan Sonic: biography, discography, reviews, links
		The renamed Pan Sonic, equipped with a state-of-the-art array of samplers and sequencers, returned with A (Blast First, 1999), whose title is a tribute to the letter they had to drop from their name.
		Pan Sonic's hypnotic quality and a midly exotic flavor come to the forefront with the quasi-tribal throbbing of Johdin that borrows from Steve Reich a technique to gradually alter repetitive patterns.
		Pan Sonic's Kesto (Mute, 2004) is a monumental four-cd box-set, for a grand total of 234 minutes, that stands as an ideal compendium of the project over the years.

	Pan Sonic - Kesto (Mute) [review by funprox.com] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		With this new ‘monster’ release, a 4 CD box called ‘Kesto’, Pan Sonic shows their diverse sides in one release.
		The first two discs contain the more rhythmic oriented material that is typical of Pan Sonic’s older albums.
		For a lot of artists, this would mean something like ‘bad’ or ‘unfinished’, but Pan Sonic seem to be quite able to get away with that.

		Pan sonic (they were also called Panasonic before legal issues took away letter A) are two guys from Finland, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Vaisanen, who started out with long-term, low-frequency, high-decibel experiments and organizing rave partys where "hardly anything happens ever" (a.k.a.
		The minimalistic music of Pan Sonic is composed "from a forbidding array of pure tones, sinewaves, pulses, electronic squelches and ultrasonic waveforms," and a humorous attitude, "skilfully arranged into an accessible rhythmic package" mainly taken from the bowels of custom-built sinewave generators.

	Pan Sonic: Aaltopiiri: Pitchfork Record Review
		I would include at least some of the music Finland's Pan Sonic makes in this category, that of organic electric sound for the thrill of it.
		However, because Pan Sonic make liberal use of silence, it's sometimes difficult to ascertain where one track ends and another begins.
		There are 17 of them, I was amazed to discover after I first heard Aaltopiiri all the way through.

		Finnish duo Pan Sonic work the electronic buffer one between the academy and the dance floor.
		Its skipping CD rhythms and test-tone-like frequencies may try the patience of those yet to be bitten by the electronica bug, but Pan Sonic resides in the hearts and ears of adventurous electronic music listeners.
		The reduction of sonic structure to bare, repetitive elements of tone and pulse places Pan Sonic at the apex of techno exercises in economy.

	Pan Sonic: Kesto - PopMatters Music Review
		Pan Sonic's taproot runs deep into the soil of early industrial music, with a heavy debt owed to such obvious giants as Throbbing Gristle, Einsturzende Neubauten and Suicide.
		But in the ten years or so since Pan Sonic's (formerly Panasonic, until an inevitable cease-and-desist letter) foundation they've moved away from the straight electronic template of modern industrial/electronic music.
		Beginning with the complex and combative aggro of the first disc, the very notion of sound is dismantled and decompressed until it loses all cohesion, and melts away to just a few echoes in the darkness.

		Pan sonic were on the left of the stage, two guys and a lot of patch leads twiddling some knobs and knocking out harsh distorted bass lines.
		At one point some smoke was noticed drifting out from the region of one of Pan sonic's monitor's.

	Pan sonic: Aaltopiiri - PopMatters Music Review
		That has been the case over the course of Pan sonic's (formerly Panasonic -- pesky intellectual properties!) previous four LPs -- one with Suicide's Alan Vega and released under the pseudonym VVV -- and remains so with the unconditionally resplendent Aaltopiiri.
		With the focus shifted from messages to aesthetics, Pan sonic have carefully avoided any hints of dullness or falling into the minimalist trap of needing an accompanying installation or visual work to allow the music to succeed.
		Pan sonic creates a mood in which innumerable more moods lie.

		Though the 4 disc boxset is comprised of new material and serves as a mammoth work in its own right, it serves just as well as an introduction to and summation of Pan Sonic’s music to date.
		In this more upbeat mode Pan Sonic can best those electro-glamsters Add N to (X) at their own game, sans the vocal shouts of course.
		You can’t accuse Pan Sonic of false advertising with "Kesto." It’s an endurance test by no stretch to sit through its 243 minutes from beginning to end, but thankfully the listener can enjoy this dish portion by portion.

		Since their foundation in 1993 Pan sonic, or Panasonic as it was then known, have remained true to their original and pioneering use of special handmade analog tone generators albeit they occasionally employ new technology such as samplers as well.

		The follow-up to Kulma and Pan Sonic's third full-length CD, the obliquely titled A was structured in exactly the same way as its predecessors, the only difference being it pushed things further down the spiral of abstraction.
		For lovers of purely electronic music, and I mean electronic in the most banal sense of the word, Pan Sonic's first few albums were certainly among the most interesting of the '90s and proved to be a mind-opening, if sometimes also tedious listening adventure for advanced listeners.
		That 'A' and the remainder of Pan Sonic's catalouge is 'too abstract' or 'abjectly minimal' is of no importance to rabid experimentalists like myself.
