Petri Huurinainen is a London-based Finnish musician, composer and visual artist whose work centres on the acoustic guitar as an instrument of rich sonic potential. By incorporating guitar pedals, bows, and a variety of DIY tools, he expands the guitar’s sound palette to explore nuanced relationships between tones and timbres, pitches, and textures. His durational, slowly evolving compositions, presented in live performances and on his albums, create soundscapes where subtle shifts in tones, harmonies, patterns, and carefully chosen found sounds gradually unfold.

He is a founding member of the experimental music group Bouche Bée, which he formed with Emmanuelle Waeckerlé in 2005. He is also one half of Einfall, a Berlin-based avant-noise duo with artist David Selden.

His recent releases include frrree mon cheri (with Bouche Bée, CD, Earshots Recording, 2023), Nico’s Grave (guitar compositions with Berlin field recordings, CD, 2023), and Misa KR16 (recordings of a sauna stove, online release, 2023). Previous works include Entre Chien et Loup (with Bouche Bée, 2020), Metro Rider (soundtrack for Denise Hawrysio’s film, 2019), and Exile Nothing (12-inch vinyl, 2016).
