Jussi Hertz (b. 1995) is a Helsinki-based multi-disciplinary artist, sound designer and composer. Hertz’s work takes influences from experimental electronic music, modern classical music and ambient genre tropes. Their pieces of music have been previously released via labels such as Janushoved, DISPLAY and Eastern Nurseries.

Within their musical practice, Hertz works with various mediums, ranging from field recordings and re-appropriated and sampled sound excerpts to synthesized melodic passages and vocal verses. Within and throughout their work, Hertz explores the intersections of emotional temporality and musical tropes’ relation to sensibility and pop-inclined romanticism. In their practice Hertz tries to stretch the boundaries of fragmentary storytelling, and its narrative capabilities and dispositions.
