Cyril Awakens Cyril Awakens Cyril Awakens are a Finnish multidisciplinary music group that produces forward-thinking electronic pop with dance music influences, finding inspiration in the multifaceted realm of Internet, glitched out graphical forms and everyday life. The music is a mixture between the new and the old – drum machine beats combined with misty, melancholic melodies and sound shapes. The band consists of singer/composer Konsta Koivisto, drummer Lauri Suutarinen, DJ/percussionist/producer Juho Kavasto and visual performer Tuomas Alahäivälä. The energetic live performances of Cyril Awakens are supported by live-controlled visuals which combine video art, generative computer graphics and augmented reality technologies. The visuals complement Koivisto's lyrics that deal with the problematic of a modern-day life increasingly dominated by digital technologies, including a love song for an anime character as well as personal contemplation of a time being isolated from friends except through a computer screen. Cyril Awakens was formed at the Yamamori Tengu club in Dublin and has toured actively after returning to its native Finland.
