About

In my PhD research I study articulations of sonic privacy and acoustic communities in urban environments. The work is part of the project "Soundscapes and Cultural Sustainability" funded by the Academy of Finland (2009-2012). My latest articles have dealt with apartment house acoustemology in Finland, acoustic and electro-acoustic communities of a football fan group Carsi in Istanbul, a sonic ethnography of "site" life in Cengelköy, and sonic representations of the city of Istanbul in Turkish films.

Currently I'm visiting Goldsmiths College in London, finishing my PhD and working on an article on urban aesthetics and listening methods.

I'm also a member of the National Doctoral Programme for Music Research and  the secretary and treasurer of the Finnish Society for Acoustic Ecology (www.akueko.com).
