COLLABORATIONS

Matti Kärki

In the early 1990s, I acquired basic music production and recording skills at a studio in Haparanda, Sweden, while attending Finska Folkhögskolan. Since then, music has been a constant passion in my life, and I've been actively involved in various musical projects almost every year. I've collaborated with numerous musicians over the years and here are only some projects where I left my fingerprint as a technician, composer, musician or producer.

I feel my best comes out when I'm with other creative people and the energy goes from person to person. My brain and fingers usually work fast in executing ideas, and I trust my gut feeling when trying different things in music production. It's always about finding something cool!

SOLINE

I started a band with my friend Melanie. For our latest release I played the guitar, sang some background vocals, recorded additional tracks, mixed and mastered our five new songs. Have a listen on Youtube. We play our original songs and are looking for more gigs.

WITH MELANIE

I made some Eurovision entries and got Melanie Kuparinen to sing my songs. We ended up winning the Eurovision contest! Just kidding, we ended up doing more songs together.



ROUND CORNERS

I had a blast doing these songs with my friend Sanna. Some of them are quite humoristic! Check out our stuff on Spotify for full songs.

KÄPY

I worked with my pal, Markku Pylkkänen, and produced several songs in my home studio. We had great sessions in my living room.

WITH SEPPO

My old friend Seppo sang my song. I think this production turned out nice. A bit Totoish, wouldn't you say?! Click for the full song.

WITH LASSE

We did some epic humor music for sure!!

BADCASE

Sometime in 2009 or 2010 I started a rock band. After several personnel changes we found a good quartet and gigged in the Southern Finland for several years. I quit in 2017, but the band still goes on.
Here on the video I play guitar with a guest drummer on a gig.
