I'm a sound explorer -> drummer -> marine biologist -> sound designer from Helsinki, Finland.
I like to try and challenge dichotomies, tip-toe at the threshold. Analog/digital. Art/Science. Cutting-edge/obsolete. Hi-fi/Lo-fi. Memories/Hopes.
As marine biologist, I've worked with underwater acoustics and the ecological impacts of anthropogenic noise.
As a musician, I've played drums in bands such as Hopeajärvi, Sepä juuri, Kids Music, Straktobeam, Käsityökerho and Torso.
As a sound designer, I'm interested in live sounds for theatre, dance and installation, sound for video and computational/algorithmic sound art.
