I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer. Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super hard to find time to concentrate while working in a seed-stage startup and raising two kids... But deadline is in autumn and I'll spend my summer nights writing music. Music can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/henrisokka

So good. The brass and woodwinds on "Fables.." are amazing.

The organ piece is really good (Mäntä), sounds like it was live recorded?

Very nice!

Thank you!

Yeah, indeed it was a live recording. It's dedicated to my good friend who was organist and passed away while I was writing the piece.
