Pedagogical piece for solo flute
Interdisciplinarity between people, between species, between animate and inanimate, between built and nature, between internal and external, between visible and invisible. The starting point of the exhibition is to explore these intermediate causes, interaction, and inspiration. There is a multifaceted communication between arts and artists that...
Sound-Space Installation "Hirvitalo Ambiences" is a co-creation project with Jussi Suonikko. It was a part of the "Välisyyksiä" exhibition at the Tampering Festival 2023.
Cups and Seeds is a piece for 4 players, cups, and different seeds or grains from the kitchen. The players should locate around the audience, not in front of them. The ideal situation is if everyone can move freely and choose what to listen to more closely. Many of the sounds seeds produce are so tender, that only the player...
At the beginning of my composing process, I got in my mind a picture of a misty landscape. The atmosphere of the landscape was like a dream, somewhere between the conscious and the subconscious. In the piece, three different instruments are playing in the border of a noisy rustle and a chanting sound. There are glimpses of something unrecognizable...
Olet tässä (You Are Here) is an installation built in the exhibition "Kuluma". Kuluma took place in Hirvitalo Gallery, Tampere from 25th September to 16th October 2022. The exhibition was a collaboration with four artists (Anna Hakula, Venla Huhtinen, Ella Salminen, and Joel Verner). The plants react to touch with sound. The installation can be...

The installation and three concerts were part of Tampere Biennale 2022. The installation was made by sculpturer Mari Paikkari and it was played...
I composed a more detailed version of the installation I executed in Viitasaari in summer 2021. The installation was part of TADweek (Tampere Architecture and Design Week) 1.-8.10.2021.
The starting point of the piece Viola solo was an oppressive emotion that grows and becomes intolerant. What is after the last straw? Mist, dust, fragments. Is it possible to grow something from them? The sound of viola is experimented with in extremes: as noise, in high registers, and by breaking the sound. The instrument enables a vast spectrum...
I took part in the Performing arts laboratory for interdisciplinary artistic cooperation with Brigitta Muntendorf and Michael Höppner 6.-11.7.2021. Laboratory was a part of the contemporary music festival Time of Music in Viitasaari, Finland. My installation was part of the laboratory outcome.
Une série pour flûte à bec alto
I have studied music pedagogy now for three years and have done all my internships (4 altogether) in music schools. My teaching experience starts from the elementary level and I have also taught in professional studies. I know what the music school expects from the teacher, but I would like to broaden the picture.
As part of my studies, I have given individual composing lessons and organized a composing workshop as a teacher of the course. I have met students from different backgrounds: from children to adults. As a composing teacher, I want to encourage all my students to express themselves. I do not want to give any straight rules: I want to broaden...
I took part in a sound art workshop called "Ecology of sound" in Tampere 2020. The workshop was part of a festival called Ung Nordisk Musik (https://unmfestival.fi). In the workshop, we discussed the nature of sounds, environmental sounds, and how to use them as material on composing. Teachers of the workshop were Petri Kuljuntausta,...
