ARTISTIC RESEARCH
I'm currently conducting a two year artistic research on instrument modification and my artistic practice combining hand-craft approahces and sonic based practices. The research is supported by Kone Foundation.
I will be publishing data such as articles, jottings and audio-visual material to this page during the years 2026 and 2027.
Meanwhile you can read the summary of the research from Kone web page (in Finnish), and see some of my earlier works.

DOCUMENTARYShakuhachi, a Japanese end-blown bamboo flute, has gained a lot of interest outside it’s original content by it’s mesmerizing sound. Shakuhachi has a history of being used as a meditative tool by Buddhist monks instead of being strictly a musical instrument in performances. Three shakuhachi players with different connections to the Finnish nature share their thoughts on playing shakuhachi and how their surrounding nature affects their practice.
