Originally composed in 1994 then lost. Recently discovered original MIDI file and rebuilt with revisions.

Skipping Rope

Had a pleasant morning fire roasting peppers. Three tracks of loose jamming in the the ambient groove vein - quick recording with minimal edits.

Pepperoasting

One night a while ago I started singing my cousin's beautiful poems into a Garageband project and making a backing track for it. It was just a little draft I thought.  Mainly as that was the first ever time I sang longer vocals onto a track. I shared it with Morten Jeamland recently who continued to make the backing track better and also did whatever magic he does to the new vocals I sang :) Little did I know that this track would end up this quality! Huge thanks to Morten who is a total pro at this!

Lyrics by Virpi Viljanmaa. My cousing Virpi is a beautiful and sensitive soul and has a lot to offer to this world.

Longing

R-Titanium

finally i found this recording from the archive made with octatrack in 2020.. my baby it's just returning from sweden due to repair issues a few days ago, so i've decided to put this project to another level.. i've used another recording made with the AAS ultra analog vst synth and add some field recordings made in the past years. i think this piece has the right atmosphere to be the sequel of this collection, inspired by the world of dreams, where every mad thing is possible.
Mixed in cubase.

work in progress.

and thanks to everyone that help me growth in this wonderful year, by a listening, a comment or a precious repost of my sonic world. an happy new year to all of you !
with love.

Hei!

It's difficult to categorize my music into just one genre. It draws influence from trip hop, breakbeat, instrumental and abstract hip hop, heavy rock, techno, minimal, sound art, contemporary, glitch, and more!

I admire many artists, and you might detect their influence in my work. Among the best are Daft Punk and Massive Attack, followed by 90s Ninja Tune artists like Amon Tobin, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, and Kid Koala. I've had the pleasure of seeing many of them live at the legendary Ilosaari Rock festivals. I also appreciate French hip hop, particularly Le Peuple de l'herbe. Other inspirations include The Prodigy, Portishead, DJ Krush, DJ Shadow, Gorillaz, Moby, Mono, Thievery Corporation, Future Sound of London, and more. My taste spans from acid jazz and funk to lo-fi and even punk or hard metal, depending on my mood.

I've been making music since the early 2000s, starting with MadTracker software (I am fine with the program name). A few years ago, I transitioned to music production with Ableton Live 10, and I'm currently using version 12. Some of my tracks are experimental, stemming from explorations over the past 20 years, while others are entirely new compositions. This experimentation is perhaps influenced by my background in research—I'm eager to explore new territories, including music.

Nature is my second passion. I tend to a micro-farm in the summer, raising sheep and chickens and restoring it to its traditional biohabitat. In the winter, I evade to the city and brood there, craving for the countryside's spring, summer, and autumn... or dreaming being in hot and sunny place by a sea or river...

I'm open to collaborations, akin to scientific endeavors where novel and exciting outcomes emerge from teamwork. Feel free to reach out!

Lastly, I want to express my gratitude to my SoundCloud friends, website visitors, and music listeners. This community is truly remarkable!

Best regards,
Tarmo aka Funking Duck
