As composer
Spotlight: Polaris
Polaris is a minimalist piano work that I composed almost completely in one sitting on Christmas eve night in 2023 after reading Steve Reich’s book Conversations, in which the composer I admire has a dialogue with various artists and friends that influenced his art and life.
Polaris received a jury honourable mention in the Tampere Piano Competition’s composition competition in 2025 and was premiered by Niilo Junnikkala in Helsinki April 29th, 2025. In the video on the website the piece is performed by Niina Ranta in my master's concert December 12th, 2025.
