Acid Symphony Orchestra (ASO) is an undertaking by the Finnish composer/producer/DJ Jori Hulkkonen involving ten Roland TB-303 bassline synthesizers and one TR-707 drum machine. The outfit of the eleven-piece orchestra may seem discreet and temperate, but Acid Symphony Orchestra’s performances are unique experiences that range from deep symphonic tones to full-on acid techno madness. The orchestra takes the very foundation of all electronic dance music – drums and bass – and creates an ultimate version of it. The bass onslaught from ten 303s and eleven men in black suits creates a show that is hard to forget.
ASO music is not available on records. The only way to experience it is to see ASO live.
Every ASO member owns a TB-303 (or several 303s) and has a passion for one thing: ACIIIIEEEED!
