I’ve been making some changes to my two studio rooms: Upgraded the HD|3 to HD-X, bought one of the last available MacPro’s (12 core) and made the oldest MacPro into a synthesizer (Logic running Komplete, Omnisphere, Trilian, EastWest Orchestra, Albino, Stylus RMX and Logic’s own EXS, Sculpture etc). I also switched the smaller unit the other way around, it feels much more spacious that way. I managed to put up both acoustic and electronic kits, acoustic piano and still have enough space for at least 2 people. And yes, I bought a subwoofer for the smaller room so I now have 5.1 monitoring in both rooms.

• Went to Nurmes, recorded 18 Alpha Indigo songs in 2 days. Lugged my pre’s and mics and cables and…Boy was that a heavy load ;-). We took one day for the forthcoming SSTB (“Samsara sings the blues”) project as well and prepared demos for the songs (11 songs, ac gtr, el pno + voc). Planned to record the backing tracks just by the two of us.
• Finalized the longest-in-the-making Walo’s CD with Speedy Saarinen. We took a few days and went through the songs and fine tuned them.
• Spent a few days with Teijo and Riikka (Alpha Indigo) doing vocals for their CD, did all 18 songs in 2 days…;-). + 1, Walking Wounded as an unplugged version. Few tough but satisfactory days there. Next I’ll edit the vocals and Teijo will do some guitar fixes. After percussions and backing vocals we should be ready for mixing…

Hi!

Been quite busy these last months. Mixed 4 movies (Kaappari, Juoppohullun Päiväkirja, Robin – the movie & Metsän Tarina), finalized the second Sam Marsala release (Trails of mist), released Liquid Wolf : First Light, helped Teijo with Alpha Indigo mixes + all sort of other things. FlipSide’s first ep is almost ready. Trying to continue updating the pages of this site ASAP…

is as follows: I’m going to document and gather all relevant data from my careers as a music person and as an audio post person. This includes material that can be heard and/or seen from most of the projects I’ve involved myself in. I will focus mainly on the less documented material, so there might be a few excerpts from the movies and commercials I’ve worked on but not too many, those can be found elsewhere. So far I’ve managed to make the first versions of music and audio post CV’s (see the menus above). The plan is to locate and transfer, clean up & fix material from the bands etc I’ve played in be it music or making of’s or…and present them to You for your pleasure 😉

PS. If You have any pertinent material at your possession, please let me know…

Hi! I’m starting this blog to try to make sense of my varied interests. At the moment, I’m pretty deep in FlipSide, my newest band with Tipi Pulkkinen and Ari Hujanen, my old mates from the 80’s. But before I delve into FlipSide, let me shed some light into my past….
