In the Spring 2018, I applied to a UAS to study songwriting & music producing. This piece was one of my entrance exam assignments. It got me in! Soundwise the production is not very high quality, but hey: it was my first time ever mixing and mastering. =^____^=
At the moment I am not going to pursue a career as an artist – I’m going to be concentrating on my studies. But who knows: I might slip some of my work on this channel every once in a while, for you guys to check on how my producing & songwriting skills are improving.
This gorgeous music video was also a result of a school assignment given to Eetu Pennanen – the young, super talented director – and his amazing team consisting of his class mates. All of them were studying the tricks of the trade, and I’m so thankful and proud of them all for making this happen!
I want to thank HEO Kansanopisto for enabling this project.
Thank you Mats Takila & Sakke Aalto for all the support at the pitching clinic. Your amazing feedback gave my confidence a game changing size of a boost. I think it was after meeting you guys that I decided I was talented enough to pursue a career: that I would learn how to produce music.
A special thanks goes to my then music technology teacher Markku Ollikainen, who patiently guided me, believed in me when I didn’t, and pushed me forward when I was stuck. I couldn’t have done it without you, man.
And lastly, I would like to thank the one who put me against that white wall. Thank you for giving me wings, and thank you for letting me fly away.
Some of you always sing along to songs you enjoy: I know you do! So here are the correct lyrics for you. I wrote them some years ago, not realising that one day they would inspire a visual storyteller into making a beautiful music video.

Dark form
Safe, warm
Dark, warm
Resistance torn
Safe form
Gentle storm
What is this
How did I get here
Stuck inside my head
He build me a cocoon
Dark form
Safe, warm
Soft porn
Nice ’n’ warm
Shut me
out here
Here I am
Staring at the white wall
Colors come circling through it all
He build me a cocoon
He is here
The master of my dreams
And melodies
And colours
And me
He build me a cocoon
***
Thanks for taking the time! –Love, Helena
