In the Lahti Organ Festival of 1992 he was chosen the Young Organist of the year. During 1995-2001 he taught organ playing and improvisation at the Piteå College of Music. At present he is working as Concert Organist and Cathedral Organist in the Cathedral of Luleå.

Amazingly crisp sound -- impossible, I think, on the floor of a cathedral. I have to believe the microphones are placed where nobody would ever be able to sit. We get to enjoy the music of a great organ, in a way that we rarely do.

I like so much the finnish contemporar music! Il is based on a real serious research we can not find in other places of Europe.

BRAVO !

The table and chairs in the background make it look like the organ is in someone's kitchen! "Think I'll have a little breakfast and then work on that Scheidemann..."  Fantastic improvising! Great use of the organ's resources. Very Gerry Hancock-esque.
