About me:: I have started singing with slow pace humming and simplificated chanting by listening the silence foreshadowing the sound. I am not a performing musician. Singing and listening harmonic music are part of my life.

Singing is an important part of the feeling of "me". For me slow singing is a meaningful way to sense myself in a way that could be called no-self.

For example singing khoomeii (or sygyt) on my own way gives me the sense i am really present in the moment. The singing moment starts to feel unique and it becomes like a monastic song - making me whole.

I have been a visual artist and i am interested in expressing sound & silence in visual form. At the moment i am working on listening sounds resonating throught my mind & body and letting that sensation come out with the help of visual language into visual signs like finger painted pictures.

I have worked with audiovisual videoinstallations exploring space & time in sound & silence ... frame-by-frame animation mapping the movement of visualised words from invisible to visible ... performance searching for a voice of humanity ... paintings looking for seeing a view ... multimedia hearing a shift from mute to colour.

Kirjoitin tuolle Benille niin saitti laittoi Hosoon kuvan oman kuvani paikalle. Toivottavasti ohjeista oli apua. Mistä tuo profiilikuvasi? Tuo on itseasiassa hyvä keino kontrolloida suuta... Aurinkoista höminää.

Kerro hieman lisää itsestäsi? Kuulutko sinäkin Kurkkulaulajat-yhdistykseen?
