what instruments do you play? do you make your own arrangements?
I compose, write and arrange and play my songs. I mostly sing and play keyboards and piano. I also play hammered dulcimer, chalumeau, tin and low whistle, oscar tribathunder (tongue steel drum), some percussions, recorder and a bit of this and that (whatever that can make sound including bowing rods!) and I'm learning to play harp, finnish jouhikko, classical flute and finnish kantele. I'm a passionate of rare instruments and I've been lucky to have been sponsored by some luthier and fellow instrument makers. Thus I also run a blog called Cool Music Instrument where you can read about rare instruments and also see companies I endorse.
I produce most of my songs myself, though I have the unconditional help of some fellow musicians and collaborators that sometimes contribute with their instruments to my songs . For "Ancient Shadows" and "The Underliving" production I've teamed with Héctor Corcín who is helping me adding some percussion and helping me with the mix and other production details.
