The collaboration between Kurenniemi and Swedish electronic music composer Ralph Lundsten worked both ways: Kurenniemi built instruments for Lundsten and Lundsten’s psychedelic short films influenced Erkki’s filmmaking. This visionary film features sounds recorded by Lundsten on machines built by Kurenniemi.
