Pan Sonic

Pan Sonic were a Finnish experimental electronic duo formed in 1993 by Mika Vainio (1963 – 2017) and Ilpo Väisänen. Originally named Panasonic, they changed their name after naming dispute with a Japanese corporation, with the removed ‘A’ informing an album title. Their music combines minimal textures, sine waves, pulses, and noise-based design into rhythmic structures with subtle humour.
