Music / Sounds

Sound-based musical practices, works-in-progress and selected recordings.

I work as a composer and musician whose practice begins from the body and the breath. My work with music unfolds through embodied listening, voice, and traditional instruments: long flute, lävikkö (a Karelian clarinet-like instrument), reed pipe, and the traditional wooden-pegged kantele.

This page gathers selected recordings, sketches, and works-in-progress. They are not presented as definitive versions, but as traces of an ongoing musical practice.
