Hi.
I will be in artist residency in St. Petersburg (Suomi-Talo, supported by Ateljeesäätiö) during november-december 2011. Among other artistic working, one of my roles is to be Ambassador for Pixelache festival. To be specific, specially for Pixelversity.
If you are or if you know any hackers/makers/media artists in St. Petersburg, please fwd this info for them and ask to contact me. My contact info is jukhau_at_gmail_dot_com . Please use email first, then we can arrange appoitment etc.
I have confirmed two concerts for December in St. Petersburg. Other one is in legendary Gez21 on 12.12. and other in Stirka on 16.12. Thanks to Pilvari “Nosfe” Pirtola, Yuri Elik and Arma Agharta for making this possible.
I will blog more about St. Petersburg later, see flickr for some pics. Now I have flu and I need to rest. Cyberfest is currently going on and I try to make it to the events, despite of the flu.
I also started new blog called Diy Sound Machines. It is a channel for sharing diy sound projects and links. Read welcome message for more info. Please bookmark, follow, share on facebook or whatever, if you find it interesting.

Prototyping bent Casio calculator.
August 02, 2011
I loaded sound file to SoundCloud for sharing some experiments with my bent Casio pocket calculator. Beat is coming from Olegtron 4060 prototype and there is some speed adjustment done with Step Resistor, which is 10x10k resistors in parallel and using crocodile clips for changing the resistor value (demonstration pic coming later).
There is not much change with the basic beat, but if you listen carefully, you can hear soft squarewave-type bleeps, these are coming from the calculator. Changes and random sounds are coming when I change pins on calculator chip.
There is coming more audio samples, pics of this work-in-progress project. In the picture you seen bent calculator on the left and Olegtron 4060 prototype on the right. Adjustable step resistor is missing from the picture, since I made it after taking the photo.

Website update in progress.
July 14, 2011
Hi.
First of all, greetings from sunny New York. It is pleasure to be working in Finnish Cultural Institute residency in Brooklyn, NY, US. (More about these activities in later blog postings…)
After all finished projects keeping me busy this spring and summer, I’m finally updating my website with new images, videos of my recent works and I’m trying to somehow organise all my recent artistic activities into logical and user friendly order.
Meanwhile while updating new website, what you are seeing here, is mix-up and chaos of new and old website. Please be patient and try to find what you are looking for. Basically top navigation bar helps for finding all relevant info. It not might be yet in top-notch viewable format, but atleast you can get the idea of what I have been recently working with.
Regarding future website and functionalities with it. Blog will be the center for news updates. So my current finished projects, work-in-progress, ideas, workshops, music events etc. etc. can be found there.
Regardings social media updates, for music and sound art, follow my Ihokas facebook page. For other arts activities, follow my artist facebook page. For misc updates, follow my Twitter profile.
Easy? Confused? Please comment or just enjoy of the summer. Thanks!

15.7. update:
It seems I’m changing theme for the new website, because current theme lacks some basic things, no matter how much I try to tweak it:
- I can’t add date/time to blog posts FIXED.
- I can’t add right nav bar (recent posts, calendar, tag cloud etc.) next to blog posts FIXED.
- comment box missing after blog posts PARTLY FIXED.
- blog archives with picture boxes looks ridiculous
So… yes, it will be a yet-another-mess, since I already created menu for this theme etc. etc. etc.
If you know any good ‘portfolio’ wp-theme, please recommend.
