Presenting - Kammertónlist A small experiment presented in an interactive environment. I became curious about how it would be to present music in an interactive way, where you can walk around in an environment and approach the instruments to hear them louder but also as if they came from the sound source itself (as opposed to just being part of a stereo mix). This brings some challenges in terms of mixing 2D sound (the usual stereo sound) and 3D sound (which has an actual place in the environment and is affected, for example, if we turn our head). After some tinkering in both FMOD and Unreal Engine, I managed to create something I was happy with and am excited to share with the world! 🥳 There are many more aspects of this type of presentation that I would like to explore and develop further in the future, but as a first experiment, it feels very fun! FANTASTIC musical performances: Calle Stenman - Trumpet melody and an amazing solo at the highest intensity Tobias Kalliokulju - The one who hammers a bit on the piano Albin Signell - Double bass and incredibly stable playing (thanks for the nice digital collaboration!) Henrik Jäderberg - Drums and everyone's groove-master. Probably the easiest recording session I've ever had, just comes in and nails it! I wrote the music, produced, mixed, and implemented it with FMOD and Unreal Engine. The environment was built with the help of assets from the Epic Marketplace Store! There might be an extremely technical demonstration of the FMOD project with a target audience of: "Crazy people who can endure a 4.5-minute long technical demo." If you identify with that, just visit my website where both videos are available! 🤓 More music will be coming soon! www.tobiaskalliokulju.com

What's the environmental impact of leaving your tent behind at a music festival? According to KarTent, 1 in 4 tents are left after the festival in the Netherlands alone! How can the festival work with fans to properly communicate this damage and prevent the waste? KarTent is a sustainable solutions company based out of Amsterdam. Their name means cardboard tent because their original product was exactly that! After witnessing the waste left on music festival campgrounds, founders Jan and Wout wanted to develop a solution.

One of the biggest highlights of 2024 so far was hosting the BIODIFUL Leadership Forum in the end of May. Not only because it was a great event about a massively important topic: biodiversity respectful leadership, but also because I got to work together with all the passionate, skillful and experienced professionals who put the event together. For years I've been looking for arenas where I could put my versatile skills to use to battle the ecocrisis (including climate change, biodiversity loss and many other problems) hands on. With the amazing BIODIFUL research group I feel like I've found the right people and channels to take this quest to the next level. Soon after the event, it was announced that the BIODIFUL consortium got funded by the Research Council Of Finland all the way till the end of 2027! This is great news and I'm hopeful that it will lead more future collaborations where I get to do what I do best for the cause of biodiversity and science literacy. I wanted to post image from the Leadership Forum because it shows explicitly why I feel so strongly connected with BIODIFUL. Not only do we share a mission, but we also have a shared vision of what systemic changes really require and how they boil down to the individual level. The three keywords visible on the screen are "agency", "openness" and "systemicity". I couldn't have picked them better because that's what my career is about; building unorthodox agency through radical openness to drive systemic change. To all the amazing people at BIODIFUL - I can't wait to work with you again!💚 Image by Hanna Oksanen/BIODIFUL BIODIFUL Biodiversity Respectful Leadership #biodiversity #biodiversityawareness #biodiful #leadership #ecocrisis #hope #eventhosting #hostess #scienceliteracy #sciencecommunication #scienceentertainment #agency #openness #change #sustainability #cheerleading #wandaorly #wandafulworld

🏑 From Polkadots to Penalty Shots (and Planes)! 🏑 We’re not just spreading risk across Spain, the Netherlands, and Dubai – we’re also spreading cheer as proud sponsors of the Fletiomare Girls U12 hockey team (rocking their polka-dotted socks 🧦) and the Kampong Gents 1st Team (no polka dots, just goals!). 🎯 Oh, and if you spot the company logo on the Kampong shirts, that’s one of our very own concepts – part of the group! 🙌 You’ll see it in action starting this Sunday as Kampong faces off against Klein Zwitserland. 🏑 Currently cheering from Dubai (with sand between our toes), but catch us tomorrow flying off to Spain. 🌍✈️ Who says spreading risk and managing real estate can’t be a globe-trotting adventure? Our website? Still a “work-in-progress” (kinda like our jetlag recovery 😴), but between closing deals, boarding planes, and cheering from the sidelines, we’ll get there. Eventually. Until then, whether it’s real estate, risk management, or really good hockey, we’ve got you covered. And if you spot us at the games, come say hi – we’ll be the ones juggling phones, laptops, and pom-poms. 🖥️🎉 📢 By the way, Spain and Dubai are full of exciting opportunities right now – whether you’re investing in real estate or looking to minimize risk, there’s never been a better time to talk! #HockeySponsors #RealEstateAndRisk #PolkadotsAndPenaltyShots #DubaiToSpain #TooBusyWinning #OpportunitiesInSpain #OpportunitiesInDubai #Kampong

We just finished filming a documentary for Octopus Energy about mythical sea creatures and now we are pursuing these 5 films... This is a photo of the echt.productions team doing a beach clean in the north coast of Scotland, with our new friend Dorcas! 🐬 We used this trash and built a raft. Yes. A full on Raft and sailed it in the North Sea. If you don't believe us, you'll have to watch the film. Coming soon! We spent the last month travelling all over the UK uncovering British myths, but now we are back, we are planning our next films. 5 films we really want to make 🎬 1. How phones are ruining our lives - We want to examine how phones are impacting our modern world. Are we ruining our brains and destroying our relationships? 2. All or Nothing Docuseries, following a lower league football team - This idea is a personal favourite of mine and I've been excited by this idea for a couple of years. I'm looking at you Walton & Hersham FC 👀 3. The Last White Rhinos - There are two remaining White Rhinos in Kenya and we want to document their attempts at saving the species 🦏 4. What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? - A series where we follow 5 different start ups and their founders through the challenges of creating a business that makes a positive difference in the world. The highs and the lows. Idea credited to Oliver Carew 🌤 5. What is Good Art? - Exploring what makes art “Good?" Can Art be objectively good? What functions does art play in history? 🎨 If any of these films sound interesting to you and you know anyone that may be able to help, tag them below. If you have any ideas for a film, I'd love to hear them! For more about Dorcas efforts in beach clean ups - https://lnkd.in/djhu67VV

🇳🇱 Netherlands vs. USA 🇺🇸: Two completely different worlds in terms of music. While the US is the birthplace of genres like jazz, hip-hop, and rock, the Netherlands has mainly made its mark internationally with Dance. Think of big names like Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, and Martin Garrix. But beyond electronic music? The Netherlands often borrows styles from other countries, like the pop structures from Sweden or the urban influences from the UK. Why is that? In America, music is often intertwined with culture: hip-hop, for example, is more than just music—it’s a lifestyle, a movement. In the Netherlands, music often remains just ‘entertainment’. We look at what’s successful in other countries and adapt it. This doesn’t mean that the Netherlands lacks talent, but it’s challenging to develop a unique, recognizable identity outside of Dance. The challenge for Dutch artists? To develop their own sound, instead of simply following what’s popular internationally. Can we ever create a unique ‘Dutch pop’ or ‘Dutch hip-hop’? Or will the Netherlands remain dependent on influences from other music countries? What do you think: does the Netherlands have its own sound, or are we mainly good at refining what others already do? 🎶💭 #Music #DutchMusic #DanceMusic #Hiphop

The essence of personal development. Taking information in, becoming inspired by it an allowing yourself to be transformed and, in turn, inspire others as well. Seeing what you can become and what you can help others become is the major challenge in life. #TheHeartCoreConnectionMethodology 🏆
