Natural progressions, reverberant bass accents and interwreathed textural deployments.
Ruoho Ruotsi is the musical moniker of iroro, a musician and producer currently based in San Francisco. His music production is largely improvisatory in nature, informed by interests in natural progressions, reverberant bass accents and inter-wreathed textural deployments. His projects draw upon the visceral aesthetics of dub, techno, garage and the impractical rhythmical leitmotifs of experimental electro-acoustics, fusing them into imaginative new musical opportunities.
In 2006, Ruoho Ruotsi won an international BBC Radio 1 remix competition, reversioning Steve Reich's seminal piece “Music for 18 Musicians”, leading to CD & 12" vinyl releases on Warner Bros. Records (Nonesuch).
Ruoho Ruotsi has released a number of 12" vinyl records on de'fchild productions (San Francisco), SKOR Records (Los Angeles) and done remixes for Auralism Records (San Francisco), ZeroG Sounds (Boston) & Thoughtless Music (Toronto). He has performed live at the Winter Music Conference (Miami), Decibel Festival (Seattle) as well as numerous underground venues across North America.

You may be the last generation which has be the possibility to rebel. And if you don't rebel there may be no more chances. Humanity can be reduced to a robotlike existence. So rebel while there is still time!
