I am the live bassist for the Finnish prog metal/djent band Aitheer, which draws from the concept of “natural resonance frequency of the Universe” of 432Hz. Our instruments are thus tuned to 432 Hz instead of the standard 440 Hz, which gives a very interesting feeling especially to Western ears, so accustomed to the 12-tone temperate scale in 440 Hz with a sharper sound.
Here I play my fretless bass on stage with the band at bar Loose in Helsinki, on Wednesday 22nd January 2025.

As you all know, my roots (as a listener and practitioner) are in classical music.
In this cute punk rock track we played at our 21.03 gig at Lepakkomies, Helsinki, I pay homage to the immortal Edvard Grieg during the intro (this is featured in the EP recording as well): In The Hall of the Mountain King! Wearing the Ghost mask too 🙂
My new song “You” is a poignant and intense reflection on the role of Ambition in human actions and history. Inspired by #Stendhal and #Dostoevsky. Hailing from my Odalisque years, the song was unreleased, so I did a robust rework.
This one is now distributed and you can find it on Spotify etc.
Here is the Soundcloud link, go and check it!

A horror story of might, God and grandeur. Whispered in the darkness.
