"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the Pink Twins."
Pink Twins (musicians and video artists, brothers Juha and Vesa Vehviläinen from Helsinki, Finland) build a tissue of connections between their sound work and their visual work, attempting to intimately join together mundane fragments usually disjoint. They work from fragments of images, sounds and sensations which our daily life is subjected to in order to break them down into small particles and reunite them once again in audacious constructions formed from chaos, pulverising and rendering them abstract, according to a unified artistic sensitivity. Their concerts are surprising chromatic combinations with strong sonic collusions which correspond to a deep need, with nothing superfluous.
Active since 1997, Pink Twins have played their music to audiences in Europe and Asia, in festivals, art spaces, clubs, churches and outdoor events, and displayed their video works on all continents.
Pink Twins have released five CDs and a double DVD compilation on their own label Pink Twins Media.
Forthcoming releases: Sketches of Pain DVD (Live in Mongolia, Pink Twins Media 2008) Empirical Research on Western Popular Music 1993-2006 - That Was Cucumber Farmer 2CD (including a remix CD by Pink Twins, American Brothers 2007)
