A short cartoon made from the Flapsticks – Explosion Land comics. I created these exploding cartoon/game characters already in 1991 around the 4th grade at school. 🙂
More about the psychedelic Flapstick posts here.
Episode #1: That Sweet Anticipation (1:00) below:
Theme music for our upcoming Sci-Fi platform computer game RoboScorp. Epic slow ambient/trance with symphonic elements:
This is a 2020 remix of my electronic ambient/hard trance medley from 1999: “The Fall / The River” that originally appeared in the album “Psychic*: Belief” (2000). This new rendition has a 1980s/1990s nostalgia style mixed with a modern sound and feel, suitable for the retro and epic movie-like feel of the game. I’ve always loved classical music and you can probably hear the influence and the way it combines in my electronic, ambient and trance songs too.
The song image cover depicts a flying alien plant from outer space. I see the eerie voice at the beginning (first heard at 0:11) and through the song as the sounds of a robotic eagle flying through an underworld metal and concrete labyrinth, trying to find its way back to the surface. Finally, the Sun starts to reflect from it’s metallic feathers…
Special love and thanks to Sanni for inspiration loving so much this music piece that I had already almost forgotten about. 🙂 <3
As of 2020, I’m working on many projects, my own music, retro computer games (RoboScorp and a fantasy platform adventure!) and a rare book about my grandmother’s childhood in the 1930s Caribbean as an utopian settler. More about these later. Feel free to contact and mail!
*Psychic of Synchronic was my music artist name in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Merry Xmas and have a Happy New Year 2019 everyone! This comic is called Reindeer Evolution (2018).
A completely improvised piece from 2011 on my grandparents’ Ed. Seiler piano from 1952. The piano has never been toned since September 30th 1955, making the sound, melodies and music quite haunting.
This piece, “Luona” in Finnish, is from the upcoming Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth film’s Soundtrack fitting its eery atmosphere.
PS. The actual piano is up for sale! Located in Hamina, Finland. Here’s the auction for this piano: https://www.huuto.net/kohteet/vanha-vintage-piano-ed-seiler-tanska-1952/470573146

A black and white still photograph: The Ark in the Snow (2011–18). This is a scene from the post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi film Soulweaver: Requiem for Earth.
We are celebrating our great loving home country’s 100th independence birthday today! On this occasion I want to share my personal enormous thank you to all the Finnish war veterans and women of Lotta Svärd who saved us and kept our independence in World War ][.
I will specially send my gratitude and loving thanks to my dear grandfather and veteran Tarmo Kaarlo Olavi Eronen (1922–2017) who passed away this Fall, and to my dear late grandmother Tellervo Eronen. I miss you and dedicate this day to You. The oil painting to the right is from 2007. I painted it as a gift to my grandpa for his 85th birthday.
In honoring and celebrating this special day, here is my classical symphony Anima Dea featuring our national instrument kantele in a special way.
Whooper swan is our national bird and it is one of my great sources of inspiration. In the above national-romantic work (that is originally a fine art etching-aquatint, 2008) the bird also has a wing of kantele.
Here, here Finland for another 100 years – and a thousand more!

See you there, and stay tuned about Soulweaver news with this blog and:
Suomeksi:
Sielunkehrääjä-tieteiselokuva esitetään päivittäin Hangon Elokuvajuhlilla 2017 lokakuun 19.–22.
Vuonna 2839 alkava tarina sijoittuu tulevaisuuden Hankoon ja Etelä-Suomeen. Itämeri on kuivunut. Tutut maamerkit kuten Vapaudenpatsaan leijonat ovat hiekan peitossa ja obeliski on kaatunut aikaa sitten. Tulevaisuuden eläimet ja uudet kehittyneet olennot elävät Maan viimeisillä elinkelpoisilla paikoilla. Kaupunkien rauniot toimivat nyt eläinten elinpaikkoina ja muistona menneestä, kun ihmistä ei enää ole. Tapahtumat alkavat kun vieras esine avaruudesta saapuu Maan läheisyyteen… Elokuvan traileri.

Here is the Final 2017 Trailer, Style A (2:47):
Suomeksi:
Tulevaisuuden eläimet ja uudet olennot elävät Maan uudessa todellisuudessa. Kaupunkien rauniot toimivat nyt eläinten elinpaikkoina ja muistona menneestä, kun ihmistä ei enää ole. Tapahtumat alkavat kun vieras esine saapuu Maan läheisyyteen vuonna 2839. Yllä elokuvan Trailer A 2017.
8 vuotta tekeillä ollut post-apokalyptinen tieteiselokuva Sielunkehrääjä (2009–17) on viimein valmistunut! Elokuvan ensi-ilta on maailman suurimassa Sci-Fi-tapahtumassa Worldcon 75:ssä Helsingin Messukeskuksessa 10. elokuuta 2017 klo 17:15. Lämpimästi tervetuloa!
Elokuvan taidenäyttely pidetään myös Worldconissa joka päivä näyttelysalissa 9.–13. elokuuta 2017.
Nähdään siellä – seuraa uutisia täällä blogissa ja:
Elokuva on tehty nollabudjetilla. Se on rakkauden ja omistautumisen kunnianosoitus luonnolle, eläimille, elämän monimuotoisuudelle, kasveille, taiteelle, universumille ja tieteisfiktiolle. Tämän elokuvan lajityypit lukeutuvat scifistä fantasiaan, kauhusta runolliseen draamaan ja luontoelokuvaan. Sitä voisi myös luonnehtia uudeksi genreksi, luonto-scifiksi.
For celebrating the soon starting Formula 1 season 2017, here is a sneak preview teaser from my upcoming trance / 80s & 90s style remix of Kris Hatlelid‘s awesome music soundtrack from the 1987 computer game classic Grand Prix Circuit by Accolade.
The final piece will have f.ex. 1980s style lyrics :). Stay tuned!
Happy Women’s Day! <3
A Stream of Tears (2007). Above is a version colorized with computer. Next to it here is the whole original pencil drawing also, 74×46 cm.
A sad yet gentle and hopeful image of a girl sleeping in a stream of her own tears, surrounded by a misty forest. A white pigeon – her soul – flies away.
