Tommi Parko

Tommi Parko is a Finnish musician and a figure in the early Finnish avant-garde and experimental music scene. His work appears on Arktinen Hysteria: Suomi-avantgarden esipuutarhureita (2001), the compilation documenting foundational tracks of Finnish experimental and electronic music. His contributions — including a collaboration with M.A. Numminen and Pekka Kujanpää on Eleitä kolmelle röyhtäilijälle and his solo piece Hysteriablues — are described as avant-gardistic pranks that capture the playful and transgressive spirit of early Finnish experimental music. His recordings are considered among the precursors of contemporary Finnish experimental practice.
