Lackluster
About
Esa Ruoho (also known under his 'Lackluster' moniker) is an Instrumental Electronic Music from the suburbs of Eastern Helsinki. Alternately simplistic, melancholic, ambient / beatless to melodic and slightly less chilled. Having releases on Merck Records and deFocus, now mostly unsigned - Esa Ruoho has been a regular protagonist in the contemporary IDM scene.
Producing music that drifts into complex ambient and intimate drones sparsely curved by fase-shifting rhythms. Excursions into dark and moody soundscapes, desolate frozen places and old forgotten stories. Esa has always managed to describe icy landscapes with melodic fragments that quickly thaw the rigid construction, with glitchy beats, artificially accelerated drums and ominous bass viewed from the other end of a telescope.
