Ilpo Väisänen will return to Editions Mego under the guise of I-LP-ON with a tribute to the outfit he played in alongside his friend and former creative partner Mika Vainio.

ÄÄNET takes inspiration from the life of Pan Sonic, the outfit Väisänen and Vainio inhabited for over two decades, and synthesizes the various genres that influenced the Finnish duo’s music: industrial, ambient, dub, club, and more. It was recorded in Kuopio, Barcelona, and Karttula, and features a series of recordings made on the 2000 Pan Sonic world tour. 

The album is Väisänen’s first record under the alias I-LP-ON. Most of his recent material has come as I-LP-O In Dub.
