Päiväkahvit and the Patience of Time The word "outtakes" poisons the well before we even begin listening. It suggests material that wasn't quite good enough, the songs that didn't make the cut—creative leftovers relegated to the margins....

#Päiväkahvit by #SontagShogun and #LauNau argues for a more patient relationship with creative work. In our rush to categorize and evaluate, we risk missing how some art needs time to reveal its true nature. @beaconsound.bsky.social @launau.bsky.social

Ruotsissa ja Bulgariassa turkistarhaus päättymässä.
Mitä tekee Suomi?

12 v. työn tulos asetusluonnos, joka vaatii pientä kasvua häkkikokoihin 16 !! ja 11 !! vuoden siirtymäajalla.

Eihän tässä ole mitään järkeä! On tehtävä päätös tarhaukseen lopettamisesta muutaman vuoden siirtymäajalla.

I’m so ashamed of being European now when there is no direct political action happening to prevent the genocide in Gaza. Shame on our countries.

A worn out bag next to a used sock makes the best bed. Good night everyone.

can’t wait!

It was interesting to work with Metropolia’s students of Music writing and production today. We had a workshop about musique conrete and it felt like a way of prosessing some of the anxiety that the world today causes, but in a lighter way. Or then it was just me who felt like it but it was good.

This amazing planet we are living on!

Last night was spectacular on Kimito island. Clear sky with thousands of stars visible and the sea ice was constantly singing so loud while the temperature sank that I was able to hear it echoing from the both sides of the narrow peninsula. Sounded like spirits singing in the forests.

Artisten Lau Nau spelar live världen över – men sin musik skapar hon i Kimito och Åbo Hur låter det under havsytan? Lau Nau ogillar konkurrens och gör drömsk musik som speglar naturen.

Here is a little interview for you who read Swedish, by Sebastian Bergholm / YLE. We’re talking about animal perspectives, nerding about sound and appreciation for the community builders. Fun to do a makeup free photo shoot too.

This sounds interesting!

This cute lute harp moved in this week. Playing an acoustic instrument just for fun is my favorite thing to do before starting to do work that feels more goal oriented. No goals attached to this instrument yet and that’s nice.
