Pekka Airaksinen (21 August 1945 – 6 May 2019) was a Finnish composer of electronic music. Airaksinen formed his first band, The Sperm, in the 1960s. The Sperm mixed elements of avant-garde music with free jazz and psychedelic pop. Their concerts featured confrontational performance art, which resulted in two members being arrested for simulating sexual intercourse and screening pornographic films. He returned to music in the mid 1980s with his album Buddhas of Golden Light, which mixed free jazz with percussion from a Roland 808 drum machine. In the 1990s, Airaksinen founded the Dharmakustannus label, on which he released numerous CDs and CD-Rs. The music styles of these releases varies considerable, ranging from new age, ambient, house, jazz and improvisation. Pekka Airaksinen died on 6 May 2019, at the age of 7. .One Point Music (1972).

In stock now for same day shipping. In the last few years, the productive label has resurfaced valuable material by Arthur Russell, among others, and this summer they have turned their attention to Finnish electronic pioneer, Pekka Airaksinen. This is no surprise, however, as Airaksinen's use of drum machines and electronics still sounds as fresh as ever, and the LP sits perfectly with the current state of affairs in the experimental music scene.

Buddhas Of Golden Light is a highly sought after crate digger's classic, originally self-released by Airaksinen in 1984. Airaksinen, a member of legendary Finnish improv group The Sperm, originally recorded the album to tape, using an 808 and DX7, with improvised saxophone, taken from an epic week-long solo session, with Antero Helander featured on one track. Buddhas Of Golden Light is a true underground record that sounds like very little else ever made before or since.
