About Me

Ruoho Ruotsi is a musician and producer currently living in San Francisco. His music 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.
Ruoho Ruotsi has released a number of 12" vinyl records on de'fchild productions (San Francisco), SKOR Records (Los Angeles) and has done remix work (on CD, 12" vinyl) for Nonesuch Records .
Recent influences include expanded studio techniques inspired by the great dub pioneers and sampelicious low-end sound design by select South London artists. Tasty!
