Doc is an ambient/electronica composer/producer from Finland. He debuted in June 2005 on Musictrade's Sola Muusika 2005 compilation (MT001) featuring music from the Sola Muusika event in Tallinn, Estonia, February 2005. This was followed by a full album release Distant Transmissions - Ambient Reflections on Bach (MT002) in co-operation with Russian keyboardist Lena Selyanina. In July 2005 Doc performed in Norberg 2005 electronic music festival in a Musictrade showcase (together with Electroteque from Australia and Unknown Forces from Scotland), contributing two tracks to the experimental Norberg 2005 Field Mixes album (MT003). In November 2005 Doc released his second co-op album with Lena Selyanina: An Island of Joy (In a Sea of Electronic Dreams) (MT004), a deep ambient work inspired by Claude Debussy's 'water music'. Later same month Doc contributed two tracks to Musictrade's New Orleans tribute album 'Requiems for a Submerged City' (MT005). Doc finished his productive year 2005 with an experimental retro disco/funk/reggae album 'Nein Absolut Nicht' (MT006) based on the soundworld of a single episode of the German police series 'Der Alte'.Have you performed in front of an audience?I have so far played live at Sola Muusika 2005 event in Tallinn, Estonia, and at Norberg electronic music festival in Norberg, Sweden in July 2005. Live gigs are welcome now and then even if my main focus is in composing and recording.
Your musical influences
Ambient, particularly deep meditative ambient from artists like David Parsons and Al Gromer Khan has inspired me a lot. I have also been influenced by various experimental electronica artists, avantgardists, neoclassicists and beyond that really an eclectic range of artists from numerous genres. There's so much good and interesting music out there that has had an impact on me.What equipment do you use?
Mostly PC (Acid Pro, Sound Forge) hooked to Genelecs and Stax Classics, Yamaha Clavinova for keyboard stuff, guitar, Schoeps mics + DAT for field recordings.Anything else?
