Professional audiovisual design since 2011

E-Studio

I did a part of my work practice in E-studio, Helsinki. E-studio is a wonderful sound studio located in Pitäjänmäki, Helsinki. I got the chance to see how professional recordings were made. I worked as a sound assistant on recording such Finnish artists and bands as J. Karjalainen, UMO jazz orchestra and Eternal Erection

Operaatio Finlandia

YLE - Radioteatteri: "Operaatio Finlandia"

Operaatio Finlandia is a book written by a Finnish author called Arto Paasilinna. We were asked to do sound design for a radio play based on the book by YLE which is Finland's national public service broadcasting company. By we I mean me and a fellow sound design student in the Tampere University of applied sciences. The radio play was dramatized and directed by Jussi Niilekselä.

The radio play was also published as a CD (Photo by: YLE)


Operaatio Finlandia premiered in national radio channel Radio 1 on 8th of April, 2012. It features well known Finnish actors, authors and artists such as Jope Ruonansuu, Vesa Kietäväinen, Kalle Holmberg, Kai Linnilä and Pirkko Mannola to name few. The play itself was recorded in YLE facilities in Tampere and post production was done in Tampere Polytechnic.
Since the radio play studio wasn't really been used lately we had to build the studio from a scratch.  We did the cables from room to room and brought in a mixer and a pair of speakers. Fold back for the actors was also done and we fed some ambient sounds and effects for the actors to get them to the right mood.

Making this radio play taught me a lot on how to communicate with the actors and what is the workflow in a large company like YLE.
