https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30XJhUVNIio

I worked as the sound designer for Anni, a Finnish indie feature film directed by Jussi Einola and produced by Joonas Einola. My responsibilities included on-site recording, Foley effects, and mixing. In addition to mixing the film’s soundtrack, I mixed and mastered the music and composed several original pieces using material from composer Simo Salo. Anni also incorporates samples from Freesound.org contributors, listed below.

The piece was composed for a promotional video I also sound designed, promoting a wooden stair design and construction company; wooden instruments were chosen to reflect the company’s craft in the melody.

Recording and Mixing of a Live Performance

This sample is from the second song of a three-song set performed by Muutos at the Gospel Savo event in 2009. The electronic drums were only available as a stereo mix, limiting the ability to balance them optimally. All other instruments were recorded on separate tracks.

Music and Dialogue Mix and Edit for a Trailer

Volume automation was applied to even out the dialogue dynamics, ensuring clarity and distinction. While not aiming for realism, this approach prioritizes a focused delivery of the message.

The music mix was tailored to support the dialogue, with the soundfield centered and reverbs intentionally darkened to avoid frequency masking.

I also served as recordist on several shoots and cleaned the recorded dialogue tracks, removing noise and disturbances from the raw footage.
