Alkoksoryhmä

Alkoksoryhmä was a short-lived Finnish music group formed in 1965. The group's original lineup consisted of members Erkki Kurenniemi, Risto Havervo and Mike [Mikael] Helin.

The music produced by Alkoksoryhmä was an experimental fusion of various styles, including rock, beat, and instrumental music. Their sound was characterized by early electronic instruments and avant-garde instrumentation. Alkoksoryhmä's work marked an early interest in electronic music experimentation in Finland, precursor to Finland's more widespread electronic music exploration in the 1970s.

Erkki Kurenniemi was particularly instrumental in the development of the group's sound, contributing to the group's unique experimental approach. As a member of Alkoksoryhmä, Kurenniemi showcased his skills as a synthesist early in his career, demonstrating innovative use of early electronic instruments.

While the group's initial output has garnered some interest among enthusiasts of early electronic music, findings on Alkoksoryhmä remain mostly limited to the underground community. Further information is often difficult to access, as much of their work was intended for release but may have remained in the conceptual phase or not materialized at all.

Local interest surrounding Alkoksoryhmä, due to Erkki Kurenniemi's position in Finnish electronic music, has qualified their activity in the lower echelons of known backgrounds in the group's exploratory output, spurred an air of later verdicts when little was to be known, difficultly classified or scarce due practically.
