Aleksi Perälä is a Finnish electronic music composer and producer. He has made music since 1988 and performed it live since 1996, switching between hardware and software over the years. Perälä's commitment to experimentation has earned him a reputation as a forward-thinking artist within the electronic music community. Perälä has a prolific musical career with over 100 full-length album releases spanning various electronic music genres. In 1999, then known as Ovuca, he signed with Rephlex Records for his first full-length LP, Lactavent. In 2011 he founded AP Musik, a sublabel of Rephlex. It was during this period that he began incorporating colundi frequencies into his music, releasing it through this label. Colundi is a term referring to 128 sound frequencies discovered and curated by Rephlex co-founder Grant Wilson-Claridge. Perälä's prolific creative output has been a direct result of his experimentation with this unique system. His music often features intricate melodic patterns and unconventional rhythmic structures, and is often released in album format organised into different series, each relating to a specific theme. The themes often refer to nature and the artwork is often photography of Finnish nature, which he says has influenced his music.
