Rahikka

About

Rahikka is the pseudonym of Seattle based electronic ambient artist Carson Rennekamp. Inspired by abstract expressionism and experimental film, Rahikka’s work explores imagined atmospheres, amorphous planes and subconscious escape. Rahikka seeks to utilize sound as a means for mindful exploration, in the vein of avant-garde artists William Basinski, Oneothrix Point Never, and Lawrence English. Since 2017, Rahikka has self-released three LPs; Hele, Northern Home, and Black River respectively. He also released the 2017 EP, We Are to Each Other. When not creating music he can be found hiking in the forests of the Pacific Northwest or wandering the halls of museums. Carson received his B.F.A. in Sound Design with minors in Film and Art History and his M.F.A in Arts Leadership from Seattle University.
