About

I am a musician and sound artist focused in improvised, experimental and contemporary music. During my career, I have been involved with range of musical genres from world music to classical music. However, last years I have dedicated my time to sound art and experimental music. I am a active member of contemporary music ensemble Sähkökitarakvartetti and I’ve collaborated with many different constellations and as a solo act. I have performed with musicians like: Teppo Hauta-aho, Kalle Kalima, Axel Dörner, Kriton Beyer, Harri Sjöström, Veli Kujala, Paul Pignon, Mikko Innanen, Lauri Hyvärinen, Rieko Okuda, Pauli Lyytinen, Beat Keller and Emilio Gordoa.

I have released numerous recordings to name a few: 2018 Teppo Hauta-aho & Jukka Kääriäinen - Winter Suite, Creative Sourves Records and 2017 Kalmisto Trio – Meeting, Karkia Mistika Records. During the year 2022 I released 5 solo albums: “still haven’t got the humor”, “Rust”, “Saari” “Reverence” and “Häiriö”. Also albums “I” ja “II” with Sähkökitarakvartetti and album “Radial” with Guillaume Gargaud. Addition to albums, with Annika Fuhrmann I’ve cocomposed three sound art compositions comissioned by Finnish National Radio Yle1 “Sumu”, “Pyörät ne pyörivät ympäri” ja “Otteita Karanteeniäänipäiväkirjasta”.
