The tapes are here! I received a dispatch of tapes of my newest album ’Sediment Archive’ released on evo-natura. I can deal it to anyone in Helsinki or even send it to elsewhere in Finland, if you are willing to eat the postage costs. 12 euros, a download code for the digital version also included!

I have completely forgotten to share this remix I made. Part of the Norberg Festival in Sweden is a remix competition, this year the track 'Contact' by Juli Deák. I was among the top 10 so my track is on the official remix compilation released by Lamour Records.

My seventh album 'Sediment Archive' out today on evo-natura! A bit different maybe than my other albums, as it is an archival one. Read more about it on Bandcamp!

What a nice artice! Can't be overstated how important Mego/Editions Mego has been for me. Still remember the time around 2005 when I first found out about it, probably from a Boomkat review and shifted me from Warp/Skam era into more adventurous waters 🌊🌊

I have a new Linktree profile, where I put all my albums, remixes, radio mixes, some video works, compilation tracks, interviews, live streaming gigs, net projects etc etc. It's actually quite nice to have one specific place, where to put all these. Take a look:

Friendly reminder (mostly for myself but maybe other as well) that all the Adam Curtis documentaries are free to watch from Thought Maybe website:

I want to re-watch "All Watched Over By the Machines of Loving Grace" and see if it had premonitive ideas about our era of AI slop

Ihan kiva ei riitä. Ainakaan kulttuuripolitiikassa.

Thanks! We have both been kind a busy lately. We did some interesting tryouts last year with constantly changing preset mangling with SuperCollider and Reaktor 6:) Hopefully we have time to go back to the lab soon!

To celebrate, I made this small quasi music video for the first track "Altered State".

Thanks to Chris of SP and @rroocc.bsky.social for mastering!

The freshwater bryozoan Pectinatella magnifica, native to eastern North America, has been unintentionally introduced to various other regions of the world.

I have been curious about this invasive species for awhile. I guess it came here during the last 20 years and live mostly in different lakes. So far it is not known what are the effects to the local population. One of my goals for this year is to see one this year!
