Saimaan Kanava. This is the name people from Finland give the Saimaa Canal. It's a beautiful region, but not that well-known. Its location near the Russian border adds to the slightly eerie atmosphere.

Saimaan Kanava. A series of instrumental music recorded on keyboard in my apartment. Cover art made in Dall E 3 and also a few photographs. Making use of slowing down and speeding up recordings. Not tied to one genre. Open for cooperation on audiovisual projects.

Presenting to the general public a kind of music that evokes shamanistic visions of animal spirits that are deeply enclosed in the musical imagination we all have, in the part of our brain that's reptile-like. We're using technology, but we use it like we would do if we were able to hear and see the Dolmen signals.

One of the (unachievable) goals for the project is to make every animal into music. When we leave this planet on a giant spaceship, no living animals will be allowed on board, only DNA samples. It seemed like a good idea to give future generations a musical and visual impression of those DNA samples.

About me? I like to stay incognito. My personal 4 main musical influences are The Notwist, Fennesz, Logh and Wilco.
