TK: This was a strange project. First I had never worked on a multimedia installation, so it was interesting to break new ground. Second it required Christmas music, which I hadn't done before either. Third we had to do it during the summer! I felt a little crazy when outside people were going around in shorts walking their skiing sticks and at the same me and Teemu were inside conjuring up snow storms and vast white plains where that jolly old red guy commanding his reindeers to pull his sleigh with a whip in his hand. Getting the inspiration wasn't difficult though.

Ours and the customers ideas met easily, both had a cheesy Disneyish family film type of sound in mind. So in the studios, me and Teemu dug out all the possible Christmas stuff we could find from sleighbells to Christmas carols and started to squeeze tears out of our listeners. I honestly can't remember have I ever luaghed as much working on a project as when we did this one. Need I say that the end result was pretty, um, restless.

This is also one of the few projects of which I haven't seen the finished article to date. It was featured in Joulupukinkylä somewhere up north.
