Beautiful old palace turned into a museum of fine arts. There was an exhibition of Raoul Dufy (1877-1953). He liked to paint musicians and the sea. 4️⃣ #museédesbeauxarts #exhibition #finearts #nice #cotedazure #workation

One thing I love about Tampere is the nature. A short drive and you are in a nature reserve. Started a 10 km evening hike at 4:30 pm, had a long break boiling some tea on a gas stove & ate chocolate. Back home at 9 pm and it was still light. #kintulammi #naturereserve #outdoorstampere

Mom's garden flowers are starting to bloom. #springflowers #spring #春の花

It is the time of anemone hepatica! 😍 Spring must be on its way!! #spring #wildflowers #anemonehepatica #nature #finland

House of Science, Helsinki, national #musicresearch seminar. Interesting dissertation topics from several universities around Finland. Today was my first day working as a salaried doctoral researcher at the University of the Arts. 🤓 #sibeliusacademy #doctoralresearch #tieteidentalo

My first peer-reviewed article has been published today. It's in Finnish but the abstract is in English. It concerns one of the case studies in my doctoral dissertation, contemporary music with Buddhist influence. #musicresearch #contemporarymusic #buddhism musiikki.journal.fi/article/view...

Tampere today. 今日は今年初めて太陽の光は暖かく感じていた!!春は実際にいつか来るだろう!☀️まだ5℃ぐらいだけど。 #tampere #springvibes #sunshine #フィンランド #晴れ #今日の天気

A cycling trip around Tuusulanjärvi lake today (26km). I have never before done it in March because of the snow and ice, but now it was already completely clear. Years are getting warmer. #cycling #spring #tuusulanjärvi #finland #春 #凍った湖 #サイクリング #フィンランド

Wonderful Sunday afternoon baking some Japan-inspired treats (sake cake, hōjicha steam muffins, matcha latte and green tea gin cocktails) with my dear friend Eva. And of course planning future projects & exchanging news!✨🎶🇯🇵 #ほうじ茶マフィン #日本酒ケーキ #抹茶ラテ #友達時間 #和食

THE LAST of the Last Temptations (Joonas Kokkonen, 1975) at Tampere Hall today. 5 weeks of listening to this music in my head is quite enough. At one scene, heavy loads of theatre smoke leaked down to the pit (today a lot less than before). It smells pretty bad. #musicianlife #opera #tamperetalo

Today's choice for ice climbing snacks: Mikuniya Zengoro "Manyo no Sato" sencha and yuzu dorayaki. 今日のアイスクラミング用おやつはどら焼き、そして美味しいい煎茶。#iceclimbing #outdooradventure #japanesetea #どら焼き #煎茶 @leantola.bsky.social

First time lead-climbing with @koivistokaasik.bsky.social ! But we need a longer rope for the main wall of Kiipeilyareena Salmisaari... 😅 #climbing #leadclimbing #wallsaremeantforclimbing

Sana #naistenpäivä:n kunniaksi:

Olen todistettavasti suorittanut yhden kurssin jopa parhain arvosanoin oman pääaineeni Itä-Aasian tutkimuksen maisteriohjelman parissa! 🥳 Tutkintohan siis jäi noin 20 vuotta sitten gradua vaille, joten kanditutkinnon jälkeiset opinnot ovat ehtineet pyyhkiytyä rekisteristä... Aloitetaan uudestaan.

Ensi-ilta tänään kello 19!

"Primaari narsismi ei ole häiriö, vaan lapsen normaali kehitysvaihe. Primaarin narsismin jälkeen lapsi etenee kehitysvaiheeseen, jossa täytyy huomioida muut, noudattaa määräyksiä, kestää pettymyksiä ja tehdä kompromisseja. Nämä eivät Keltikangas-Järvisen mukaan luonnistu enää kaikilta aikuisilta."

A normal day in my life: morning = studying, daytime = climbing (rain and ice this time), night = work in the opera pit. Thanks for the fun company and photo (no. 3) @leantola.bsky.social 🤩

Today I have been mostly watching Lead Climbing Japan Cup and UIAA Ice Climbing championships, but also managed to finish an essay for "Consumption in East Asian Economies" course. My topic was controversy of whaling industry in Japan. This course was a welcome refresh in-between music research!

Nuppu Koivisto-Kaasik kirjoittaa aivan loistavassa veitsenterävässä analyysissaan seksuaalisesta häirinnästä taiteiden historiassa ja ilmiöstä pitää suurmiehiksi nostettujen taiteilijoiden jälkimaine tahrattomana. Lukusuositus!

I am so excited to present a paper in Music, Research, and Activism Conference in May with wonderful panel!

Erityisesti (orkesteri)muusikoille kiinnostava jakso - FT Jussi Jaatinen kertoo yleistajuisesti siitä, miten eri ihmiset kuulevat äänien viritystason ja mistä se johtuu. 🤓 youtube.com/watch?v=J-8E...

Tässä kuussa pääsin vuorostani vieraaksi Humanisti vastaa -podcastiin, kiitos kutsusta @riittamonto.bsky.social ! Kiva oli päästä puhumaan myös hankkeestamme, jota rahoittaa @koneensaatio.fi. Toki aina olisi lisättävää ja tarkennettavaa...!

"Songlines" exhibition still going on in Vapriikki Museum in Tampere until the end of March. It was such a unique opportunity to learn about the art, concepts and worldview of the Aboriginal peoples of Western Australia! 😍
