Amnesia Scanner
Performing arts group, experience design studio and production house, Amnesia Scanner is created by Finnish-born Ville Haimala and Martti Kalliala in 2014. This electronic music duo Berlin-based is currently signed to PAN. Its debut EP, "Physical AS", was released as a vinyl exclusive in 2016. The musicians have also collaborated with Holly Herndon and Mykki Blanco.
Building on their mixtape "AS Live [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]" (2014), the critically acclaimed audio play "Angels Rig Hook" (2015) laced a potpourri of dancefloor tactics with a machinic narrator. Their dual EPs for Young Turks, "AS" and "AS Truth" (2016), distilled this immersive environment into an abrasive collection of cryptorave tools.
Amnesia Scanner has presented work at art institutions such as ICA London, HKW Berlin, and the Serpentine Gallery Marathon in London. They collaborate with PWR Studio for their design and visual direction. The AS live experience is co-created with Stockholm-based Canadian designer Vincent De Belleval.
In parallel Haimala works as a composer and producer with a wide range of musical and visual artists and Kalliala co-directs the think tank Nemesis.
