The tapes are here! I received a dispatch of tapes of my newest album ’Sediment Archive’ released on evo-natura. I can deal it to anyone in Helsinki or even send it to elsewhere in Finland, if you are willing to eat the postage costs. 12 euros, a download code for the digital version also included!

I have a new site-specific work at Art for All's "Success & Glory" festival this weekend 22.-24.08. The festival takes place in Itäkeskus at unused spaces of Easton shopping mall. I made a gestural/sound/moving image/still image -installation called 'Capital Logic'. Only open this weekend, come:)

My seventh album 'Sediment Archive' out today on evo-natura! A bit different maybe than my other albums, as it is an archival one. Read more about it on Bandcamp!

I have been curious about this invasive species for awhile. I guess it came here during the last 20 years and live mostly in different lakes. So far it is not known what are the effects to the local population. One of my goals for this year is to see one this year!

The interdisciplinary dance festival Sidestep begins today!

All the performances seem interesting. I'm with quite low funds and prioritizing upcoming cinema stuff, so not sure if I can attend, but anyways super cool! Would be awesome to see Marikiscrycrycry live.

Tonight something truly special: Rulla Lauta Juhlat 2 (Skate Board Party 2) at Bio Rex 20.00, 10e. It is not a skateboard movie, it's a total gesamtkunstwerk combining light, sound, moving image + aesthetics. I know that my friend @olliaarni.bsky.social has been cooking this so high expectations!
