I am a musician and translator working internationally within a broad scope of cultural and artistic fields. I work as a recording and performing pianist and composer internationally, especially within the Nordic jazz scene. I translate artistic texts such as poetry, lyrics and prose; I am also experienced in translating for subtitles and dubbing as well as translating educational material.
I have developed a broad intuition for connecting disciplines through organizing projects. Through collaborations and residencies, I have gained skills in creative problem solving; I thrive in environments where I can combine my musical and linguistic skills, and I enjoy learning from others as well as working independently.
I translate between Scandinavian languages, Finnish and English.

See the music video for the single “We exist in everyone we love” from my album “We tend to help each other out here”:
My first solo piano album was released May 16th 2025 by Howling Jazz Records. The album has been critically acclaimed internationally:
“an impressive album, not just because it’s beautiful, (though it is), but because it feels so different from any other solo piano recording out there.”
“Opening the record, Lähdesmäki reveals himself as both poet and technician – each phrase seems to bloom in real time.
[…]
There’s something quietly magnetic about how he approaches the piano”
