TESTIMONIALS

  • “I’ve been working with Joni on different projects since 2013 and I can’t help but admire the way he handles sound. A multi-talent who can compose, play instruments, mix and master. Not to forget how great he is as a person too <3”

    Tuomas Kokko

    Producer, Rec & Mixing engineer / Electric Fox Studios

  • "I have been working with Joni intensively for almost all my choreographic work and theatre performances since 2009. Our collaboration includes dance/theatre performances, dance movies and documentaries on my work. Joni is a true professional and extremely versatile in what he can produce. He is fast - faster than any composer I’ve worked with- and positions himself for the service of the greater good of the work. He is a joy to work with and inspires me every time also to create choreography and scenes that I didn’t think of at first."

    Cecilia Moisio

    Choreographer & producer

  • “Personal, smooth and very high-quality mastering service. Suggestions to the mixes were on point, helpfull and respected our artistic choices. Trustworthy for the future!”

    Antti-Ville Muurman

    Producer, Composer / Nykypost, Syringa

  • “When working with Joni you always get what you want and even more. His ability to accomplish everything necessary for the goal is of the highest order. Fast, precise and reliable partner for the projects within the sound for over 20 years."

    Ossi Valpio

    Rapper & executive producer / Kulttuuriyhdistys TUFF, Toistuvat Yllätykset

  • ”I’ve had mixing with vox+instrumental and mastering done at Tape Over. I’ve appreciated well-reasoned creative solutions in mixing as they have made the song better every time. Masters play loud, but well. Musicality and knowledge of the genre is definitely a plus with these guys.”

    Matti Huhta

    Rapper & Producer / Sere

  • ”An open-mindedness and 100% dedication to the craft with approachable interaction and you can't help but recommend it. Also 100% value for money which is exactly what to expect from the upper level audio villains.”

    Tommi Kiviniemi

    Composer, Guitarist / Havas, Ghost Brigade

  • “Always very easy ja natural feeling to work with. The immediate atmosphere makes creating and recording effortless. You always think you know what you’re getting, but you end up getting even better results.”
