what....
about me
I like: swinging, non-alcoholic beer, making space and noise, carefully crafting songs, improvising, making things together.I play in various award-winning groups such as: OK:KO, Linda Fredriksson Juniper and Superposition.My main own project is Perussastamala.
I have released 6 very different albums under that title. The styles vary from shoegaze to modern jazz.
LATEST RELEASE
core country memory

Core Country Memory explores shared youth, endless seasons, and the drifting apart of friends. It rejects urgency, choosing memory, nature, and stillness. CCM is made of places in time before irony.Released January 9, 2026Written, mixed, produced, engineered by Mikael Saastamoinen
