CAN I/O, the sonic alter ego of Finnish music producer Perttu Piirto, blends ambient techno, IDM, hardcore, drum'n bass, and lo-fi, creating captivating electronic soundscapes.
His musical journey spans punk bands in the '80s to film music. Since the early '90s, he contributed keyboards to indie rock bands and various electronic projects, leaving a significant mark. With a rich portfolio, Piirto's nuanced understanding extends to gigs, singles, eps, albums and crafting music for games and ads—reaching millions of listeners.
'CAN I/O' is pronounced as 'can eye-oh.' The 'CAN' serves as a mysterious container, capturing input from life itself. Paired with 'I/O' representing input and output, 'CAN I/O' mirrors the artist's gaze upon the world. Observations go into the 'can,' evolving before emerging as musical output - like impressionist art through sound.
