Tapani Rinne (born February 2, 1962) is a Finnish musician, composer, record producer and sound designer, who is known for his experimental and innovative style with the clarinet and saxophone. It has earned him a reputation as one of the most respected and unique Nordic instrumentalists. [1]

Contents

Rinne is most widely recognized as the foreman of the pioneering Finnish electro jazz group RinneRadio, but he has an established solo career with several albums of his own, too. As a record producer he has been also responsible for several albums made together with the Sámi yoik singer Wimme Saari [2] as well as for the albums Kielo (1999) and Kluster (2002) by the experimental accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen. [3] Besides his solo career as a recording artist and numerous other artist collaborations, Rinne has composed music and soundscapes for theater, radio plays, documentaries, films, art exhibitions, contemporary circus shows and dance performances. [2]

Author Petri Silas wrote about Tapani Rinne as a musician the following way in the 5th edition of Finnish Jazz published by Finnish Music Information Centre in 1998: “One of the most successful category-smashers in contemporary jazz, Tapani Rinne has carefully steered his career from one victory to another. His eccentric mix of trad jazz, fragile ambient soundscapes and hard-driving techno, hip hop and drum’n’bass beats in the group RinneRadio has paved the way to stardom both nationally and internationally.” [4]

Biography

As a solo artist

Tapani Rinne has been an avid student of clarinets and saxophones since the age of eight. He started his musical career in the sax section of the Pori Big Band in 1974 and studied clarinet at the prestigious Sibelius Academy in Helsinki between 1981 and 1986. In the 1980s, Tapani Rinne was playing as one of the members in Edward Vesala Sound & Fury on the album Lumi (1986) as well as in Raoul Björkenheim’s group Krakatau on the album Ritual (1988). He was also developing his talent among the ranks of UMO Jazz Orchestra, Espoo Big Band and the EBU Big Band. During those years Vesala encouraged Rinne to launch a project of his own and thus RinneRadio was born. Vesala was responsible also for the production of RinneRadio's self-titled debut album in 1988. [5]

The solo career as a recording artist started in 1999 with the release of his debut solo album Insider. Tapani Rinne has released four albums since that. Musically they are all ambient-based, while the fourth Radioton album from 2019 was described as a dive directly into the deep layers of minimal ambient creating a breathlike soothing soundscape brainstorming with only a bass clarinet and effect pedals. [6] His fifth album Foghornia was released on Signature Dark label in October 2020 picking up where the previous one left off, said to dig even deeper into melancholic depths of dark ambient music. [7]

With RinneRadio

RinneRadio is a pioneering Finnish electro jazz group, which Tapani Rinne founded in 1988. They are best known for fusing jazz into ambient music and techno, years before it became a worldwide trend, and adding hints of world music into it. RinneRadio has released more than a dozen of albums and performed all over the world. [8]

The reputation of RinneRadio as something radically new was cemented with the albums Dance and Visions (1990), Joik (1992), Unik (1994) and Rok (1996) pushing the ever-evolving group into fervent exploration of new soundscapes beyond jazz, drum & bass, ambient and techno. While the line-up of RinneRadio has changed several times during the years, Tapani Rinne is still the leader and the musical conductor of the group. [2]

With Wimme Saari

Tapani Rinne has paired with the Sámi yoik singer Wimme Saari on two albums Soabbi (2013) and Human (2017) which they made and released together. [9] Before officially coming out as a duo they had collaborated already on RinneRadio’s albums Dance and Visions (1990), [10] Joik (1992) [11] and Unik (1994), [12] which led Tapani Rinne to produce the first albums Wimme (1995), Gierran (1997) and Cugu (2000) for the Wimme act. [13]

After dropping off from the liaison for a while to focus on RinneRadio, Tapani Rinne returned to produce the Wimme album Mun (2009), which landed them the respected Finnish Teosto prize in 2011 and was another success after the earlier breakthrough albums. [13] Mun peaked on the World Music Charts Europe’s radio charts as the #3 album in May 2010 and reached the Top 20 list on five months during that year. [14]

Since the 2010’s, Wimme and Rinne have performed worldwide together as a duo, including shows at WOMEX in Copenhagen in 2011 [13] and in Tampere in 2019. [15] The Songlines magazine called the album Human "a genre-defying tribute to the raw beauty ‒ and occasional madness ‒ of the human condition”. [16] The album drew inspiration from the natural world combining calm beauty, affirmation and a holistic worldview, while the previous album Soabbi was based on religious hymns. [17]

With SlowHill

SlowHill are a Finnish instrumental downtempo/lounge band, which Rinne formed with the well-known Finnish DJ Slow (aka Vellu Maurola), a former member of the band Pepe Deluxé. The band fuses hip hop and electronic beats into easy listening jazz atmospheres. Their debut album Finndisc was issued by the legendary Blue Note Records in 2002. [18] The second album Fennika was published by Plastinka Records. [19] The third album Muzak was released five years later in 2010. [20] It was issued by Universal Music Finland. [21]

The latest project SlowHillxEGS is a collaboration with the Helsinki-based contemporary artist EGS, known for his global graffiti art and other visual projects. The trio does not perform concerts in the traditional form as their rare appearances are about composing new chill hop sounds while simultaneously creating a work of art. The tracks are inspired by lo-fi hip hop genre, mellow relaxation and elevator music. The aim of the concept album or performance is to create a new kind of live dialogue with live instruments, groovy beats and painterly techniques, which forms a feedback loop of immediate inspiration to give birth to new creations. [18]

Other collaborations

Outside of RinneRadio, Wimme, SlowHill and his solo albums, reedsman/composer Tapani Rinne has made his mark through close collaborations with several artists, mostly from Finland. In the early days of his career he collaborated with respected jazz musicians such as Edward Vesala and Raoul Björkenheim with guest appearances on each other's albums. [1] Another famous Finnish jazz musician, who worked closely together with Tapani Rinne, was pianist Iro Haarla. She was also part of the original lineup on RinneRadio's debut album. [22]

Collaborations with Finnish multi-instrumentalist and percussionist Teho Majamäki led Tapani Rinne to record experimental albums Inside the Temple in 2012 and Under The Ground in 2015. The first one was recorded inside holy places in India, and the latter in the newly blasted rock tunnels of the railroad built to connect the center of Helsinki to the Vantaa airport. On both albums the artists improvised music inspired by the surroundings, while preserving the physical acoustics and echoes of the exceptional locations. [8] All About Jazz credited Inside The Temple as a five stars album in their review in 2011. [24]

In 2020, Tapani Rinne collaborated with Helsinki-based electronic music artist Aleksi Myllykoski by playing saxophone on the minimalist, melancholic and introspective album Dark Days. Musically the album has been described as ambient and drone-based noir jazz with influences from techno and jungle to experimental music. [25] Aleksi Myllykoski also replaced Konsta “DJ Muffler” Mikkonen in the official lineup of RinneRadio in 2020. [26]
