and also
“don’t love your life too much”

taste of elastic band is on my lip
wet water brings it
the season brings
do we dare to ask for what we want?
do we dare to ask for anything more
when it's the warmth that brings the water
when it's that water brings the shore
when it's that warmth that brings the water
when it's the water brings the land
shape of elastic bring that strength of elastic
when that warmth could fall to anything at all
Blue Hour Compositions (2019)
This work is an experiment in collaborating with a place and a time. On two occasions in two locations (in the Hertoniemie community gardens and at the Soumpu construction site, Helsinki) I improvised along to the place and the hour following the formal setting of the sun, to see what would happen.

Rough Beasts / Shadow on the Brim
Something like a werewolf on the edge of transformation, this album spans themes of wildness, balance, polarity, death and (im)morality. The production of the album was itself an experience of openness, spanning the country through collaborations and sonic exploration.
Interests in ecology and the history of western thought feed into the themes of the album, which explore how the binary of good vs. evil is flawed, and even anti-human – pursuing happiness as a pristine state as a form of insanity, albeit a popular one.
