I’m a Helsinki-based composer, musician, and sound-focused artist who enjoys shaping atmosphere—especially for games, film, theatre, and live performance. I love exploring new sounds and tonal qualities, and I’m driven by how music can carry emotion and presence to the listener, performer, and audience. Working across composing, producing, recording, mixing, and mastering, I also bring experience from contemporary dance/circus contexts and live performance-making. I’ve contributed to game music and sound worlds, released solo bass-driven albums, and support projects as a mixing engineer, backing vocalist, and arranger—while also teaching and guiding through music pedagogy and meditation instruction.…I’m a Helsinki-based composer, musician, and sound-focused artist who enjoys shaping atmosphere—especially for games, film, theatre, and live performance.
