Hi, I'm Juho Saari. I’m an indie artist, musician, and freelance writer based in Turku, Finland. I’ve spent over a decade creating art projects across digital art, music, and games, and I’ve self-published two books. I also work at Posti as a postal worker, delivering and sorting mail and supporting daily operations in Turku. I studied at the University of Turku, focusing on musicology, cultural music research, audiovisual analysis, and gender studies. My bachelor’s thesis explored how rhotacism and articulation shape views of masculinity in Finnish popular music, and my master’s thesis was an autobiographic study of my work in theatre production. I’ve done live mixing, sound and lighting design, and I’ve been involved in theatre productions; I continue to pursue art projects across media and formats.
