The sound design services I’m able to provide are such as sound engineering, sound editing, sound effects and post production. I’m able to create game sounds, movie sounds and sound art.

Sounds of Saturn’s Rings – A Sonification of Space

Rings of Saturn

The rings of Saturn resemble a spectrogram, which inspired this experimental sonification of space.

An authentic image of Saturn’s rings was used as a spectral source. A 1-pixel vertical slice of the image was extracted and separated into three color channels. The intensity values of each channel were mapped to the cutoff frequencies of resonant filters—effectively translating the visual data into sound.

Each color plane drives 256 simultaneous sound sources, spatially arranged across the stereo field to mirror their position in the image. Some variations use up to 1024 voices, creating rich, layered textures. Minor frequency offsets per color channel introduce a subtle chorus effect.

The result is an immersive soundscape—an audible interpretation of Saturn’s rings. Original lossless audio files are available on Freesound.

Sonification of a Graphical Piece – Sounds of Calligraphy

Image into Sound

The three pieces in the Sounds of Calligraphy playlist continue from the SARANA performance at the Viiva & Viiru calligraphy group exhibition opening in Helsinki. They are generated in real time by analyzing the images across three color channels, with some oscillator waveforms derived directly from the image properties. Each channel uses 128 oscillators and filters, spatially positioned in the stereo field to precisely follow the visual forms. This results in a true sonic journey across the images.

The sonification was created using Max/MSP/Jitter. Special thanks to the Viiva & Viiru group for embracing this abstract approach.

Generative Interactive Sound Art Installation

Ambient2

AMBIENT² translates the soundscape of Harakka Island in Helsinki into music through a computer-driven generative process. We are born into a familiar sound environment that becomes our baseline, making everything else seem strange or peculiar. This project is about reinterpretation—by rendering the same soundscape as music, it reveals unexpected and uncanny elements. Video of the interactive sound installation.

Ambient^2 Generatiivinen ääni-installaatio

The music created by AMBIENT² does not conform to any traditional note system. Instead, it reconstructs the source material’s frequencies using synthetic instruments in a spectral musical framework. The result is a composition that never exactly repeats itself; the observed environment acts as the composer, generating its own unique tonal system. This music is not random but governed by its inherent rules.

Rooted in ambient aesthetics, the piece blurs the boundaries between ambient sound and ambient music, seamlessly merging the musical space with the surrounding world.

AMBIENT² was featured at the La-Bas Biennale 2012 and exhibited at the Sound Art Gallery Akusmata.

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.

Promotional Video for a Youth Camp

TaigaMetsä

Teaser cut from footage I shot at TaigaMetsä camp in July 2010, organized by Kaleva Youth Association for their 50th anniversary. I worked as their media producer for a year.

Related videos include the TaigaStudio series, which I also filmed and edited.
