  • Marc Daniel Nelson (Fleetwood Mac, Jason Mraz, Eric Burdon, Robert Duvall)

    “I had the unique and incredible experience of working with Teemu on a few projects where I mixed while he engineered and produced. 

    First and foremost, not only was it incredibly organized, focused and very well recorded. Teemu’s attention to detail pushed me to become a better mixer and got me to reconnect with old approaches that made me a better mixer.

    Teemu has a very hands on yet delicate handle to his productions that puts in way out front with the real deal people that get it.  He is very very good at what he does. I’m really glad to work so closely with him and his productions.. as well calling him a friend.”

  • Niilo Sevänen (Insomnium)

    ”Teemu is easily my favourite engineer and producer and I can't even count how many albums we've done together.
    He knows what to do to get the best out of me and he always has great ideas for the arrangements.”

  • Ville Friman (Insomnium)

    “I’ve now worked with Teemu for several albums, and it has always been a pleasure. Besides being excellent and precise in making sure we can nail the best takes, Teemu is always happy to give his ideas and suggestions on melody lines, guitar harmonies and song arrangements in general.

    Especially, Teemu excels in recording acoustic guitars and vocals and have contributed backing vocals on several Insomnium songs.

    The studio atmosphere has always been relaxed and inspiring and I would highly recommend Teemu and his studio.”

  • Svante Forsback (Rammstein, Volbeat, Sunrise Avenue)

    “Teemu is a super talented and versatile producer. His mixing skills are also top notch and it’s always a pleasure to master his productions.
    Highly recommended!”

  • Omnivortex

    Teemu brings a lot to the table. He has a lot of vision and ideas if needed, but he also always respects the bands/artist's decisions, and doesn't force his own ideas.

    Whether you give him loose or strict guidelines, he always knows different ways how to accomplish the goal. He has a great ear for music and he also is able to push the bands/artist's to their best performance.

    We're really happy to have worked with him.”

  • Marianas Rest

    “After all the years spent in the field, Teemu still radiates a love for good music. This is evident in our collboration through Teemu’s unwavering desire to always achieve the best possible arrangement, lyrics, recording, or mix.

    Teemu is always present and the complete opposite of an assembly line worker. Teemu has very broad view of different music genres and we can highly recommend him to anyone who wants to do things as well as possible.”

  • Janne (The Silenced)

    "I've known Teemu for many years and i'm always coming back for his expertise in the field of capturing, producing and mixing music.

    I've worked with many different professionals along the years and no one matches his ambitious approach to different scenarios - whether you are recording full-length album or doing demo for your new project - you can always count on him to bring the best out of your music. He also embraces new technology, different ways of working with an open mind, which is a rarity in his field of expertise.

    Teemu is a seasoned professional and has a lot of experience with different metal genres, but he is also experienced and knowledgeable in other genres, which makes a huge difference when crafting new music.

    I highly recommend this great human being to assist you with any of your musical adventure!"

  • Einar (Fortið)

    I approached Teemu because of his production work with Insomnium. Although my own band is musically very different from them, I wanted a clean and powerful, but at the same time that plastic free, organic hsound that is so often missing in modern metal production. I am also in love with the magic he does with softer melodies for Insomnium and we got to have some of that magic. A brilliant ear for fine details. I live in Iceland and I have never met Teemu in person or visited his studio. Everything was done in co-operation online. It was very fluid from day one because this guy is both friendly and easy going and he had an understanding of the material he received. He even went a step further than expected and brought Niilo Sevänen (Insomnium) to the mic to lay down some guest vocals for us. That of course was an amazing addition. The results for our album are in and results are very satisfactory. Teemu plays a huge part in this. With him, you get what you pay for. Simple as that.
