"Mood, color, atmosphere, space, sound. These elements have been equally important to me when compared to the more traditional musical features of melody, rhythm and harmony." Tapani Rinne is a Finnish artist, composer and record producer, who is known for his experimental and innovative style with the clarinet and saxophone. He is leader of the pioneering techno-jazz group RinneRadio and has collaborated with people like Wimme Saari, Juha Mäki-Patola, Pekka Kuusisto, Mika Vainio and Jimi Tenor. "There is something to be gained by melding the organic reed with the cool computer, it is a lonely northern forest sound unheard before now." - David Rothenberg, New York Times "Tapani Rinne plays clarinet and saxophone in such a way that it feels that time stops moving." - Peter van Cooten, Ambient Blog
