    Episode 7: A Good Walk (Spoiled... by an Earbud Rant)

    Walking and listening go hand in hand. In this episode, I talk about the way sounds change as we move through different spaces... and have a little rant about earbuds.

    Episode 6: Kría

    In 2019, 6 months before the covid pandemic, I spent a month in Iceland collecting field recordings and making music. The arctic tern, known as kria in Icelandic, figures prominently in what I created (and is an integral part of the Icelandic ecosystem). But watch out around nesting season, because the terns will defend their eggs with their lives.

    Episode 1: Koivu

    I'm a composer and sound artist whose approach to music has changed radically in the last few years. In this podcast, I talk about how my experiences have shaped the way I listen, and the places that have inspired these changes. In this inaugural episode of Burning the Thrushes, I tell the story of my time in Finland in 2017 and how it led to a change in the way I think of (and create) music.
