Carbon after Flow
After the intensity of Flow Festival, I slowed down and returnerd to a project I started back in May. In this post, I reflect on composing music for Post Theatre Collective’s Hiili, entering the speculative world of exomusicology (or alien music).

Atonauer at Flow Festival 2026
This Friday, I’m bringing Ocean in A to The Other Sound at Flow Festival. I’ve rebuilt the album as an open-ended performance, using almost no prerecorded material. I transform reconstructed sounds in real time, letting the energy of the venue, audience, and moment guide the music somewhere new each time.

Ocean in A (2026)
Ocean in A is Atonauer’s debut album, released by Future Sonant. Built largely around the note A, its seven connected movements move through post-ambient drone, oceanic resonance, tape echo, feedback, and spatiality. The album expands one tonal centre into something vast, unpredictable, and deeply physical. Available digitally and on vinyl.

A New Year’s Echo
A few days before the year turned, A Theory of Love quietly crossed 18 million streams. On the first day of 2026, I pause to say thank you — and to reflect on music, numbers, and meaning in an attention-hungry world, where a solitary creative act can still find its way into countless lives.
About me
I’m a musician and artist. Lately my focus and interest have been echo and reverb, musically and philosophically.
I release post-ambient music as Atonauer and drum-and-bell music as Kumea Sound, and I also compose for film and other creative media. I’m interested in immersive listening and in how sound changes our sense of time and space. For me, sound is something that surrounds, locates, and transforms the listener.
I studied time- and space-related arts at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts and philosophy of religion at the University of Helsinki. I’ve taught at Uniarts Helsinki (Finnish Academy of Fine Arts, Sibelius Academy) and worked as a spatial experience specialist at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences. I live and work as an independent artist in Sipoo, Finland.
