I spend most of my time on Ptarmigan, a trans-disciplinary project platform in both Tallinn and Helsinki. My own work, when there\'s time, is rooted in a weird intersection of experimental collaborative forms, usually incorporating music and sound improvisation, bizarre performative deconstructions, and text/language. In a past life i\'ve released some LPs of both my own music (solo and in Lied Music) and others (on my label Cenotaph). Nowadays, beyond Ptarmigan, I assist with the Tiib space, run an English-language 2ndhand bookshop (Slothrop\'s), and help out with Pixelache too. Plus other things.
