About me

Sound is the most inspiring way I know to connect with direct experience. By listening attentively, we tune into being in both time and space.

I enjoy creating acoustic and electronic sounds that appear in real and imagined spaces. Echo and reverb are important practical and conceptual tools that keep shaping my thinking and art.

I studied sound art at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts and have been studying the philosophy of religion at the University of Helsinki since 2020. I also work as a spatial experience specialist at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences.

I create music as Kumea Sound and release it through Future Rust, my own cupola (handpan) music label.
