Radio work has been a place for me where I’ve started to bring together two of my true passions: music and text. To play with the collisions of space, time, thoughts and music.
It has also brought me so much wonderful enjoyment: closed studios like a coves of birth, the assistent's enthusiasm, a huge buzz when you, at one in the morning, close the doors up, turn on the computer which starts playing the night classics, and when you put the lights out, the quivering sea of lights from the small green lamps continues glittering all over the darkness. And then you drive home, reminiscences of your show still in the air.
I've worked in radio since 1995, first at Estonian Radio (Eesti Raadio) and since 1997 a bit at Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yleisradio).
