EDUCATION
WORKSHOPS & LECTURES
I run classes, courses, workshops, both as a freelancer and as a visiting teacher in different schools, events, and NGOs. My particular interests are musical creativity, sound design and psychoacoustics, and finding new ways of understanding music and sound through improvisation and analytic listening.
CONSULTING AND MENTORING
I've worked with individuals, communities, and companies to help them with a wide variety of topics and creative projects within my fields of expertise.
NORDIC FOLK MUSIC
FROM HISTORICAL TO CONTEMPORARY
Folk music escapes the laws of time and space.
In my artistic work I explore the powerful connection
folk music creates from history to modern day.
IMPROVISATION & JAM SESSIONS
Playing together and learning from one's peers are the corner stones of folk music. Using the tools adapted from folk music sessions I aim to spread the ideal of lateral, creative, and participatory musicianship.
INSTRUMENTS & BANDS
I play the Swedish keyed fiddle nyckelharpa and do vocals in several folk music bands, eg. Siba Folk Big Band, Himmeli and Ilona Korhonen Ensemble.
