Lauri Ainala founded Paavoharju in Savonlinna in the year 2000. Initially, the music consisted of Lauri’s experiments with different sounds (such as the buzzing of a wasp in a matchbox), combined with rhythms created using tracker programs from the 90s. The distinct sound of Paavoharju is constructed with microphones purchased from the flea market, old PC computers, and free software such as ModPlug Tracker and Cool Edit. In addition Ainala has used technology ranging from old cassettes to software that translates images to audio. This same modus operandi and programs are still used by Lauri Ainala to this day.
Paavoharju has manifested itself in various live incarnations over the years that has been a distinct entity, both in terms of the performers and the soundscapes.
