Why did you do these soundscapes?
I personally find it quite hard to focus when surrounded by office noises. I have also noticed, that many experts feel the same. That is why I decided to do these soundscapes. Soon after I realized that the soundscapes could also work as a timer to prevent excessive sitting, which can have pretty bad consequences.
Why there is not that much happening in these tracks?
After failing to find soundscapes that would help me to focus and remind me to get up often enough, I decided to compose four 30 minutes long deep focus soundscapes. The length is decided to be such, that when the soundscape ends, it also means that it is time to get up, stretch, and/or have a short break.
What does Peitto mean?
These ambient soundscapes are released under my artist name Peitto, which is a Finnish word and means blanket or to cover something. This I think is the perfect pseudonym for the soundscape artist.
Who is Peitto?
My name is Jukka Niittymaa and you can find more info about me from www.jukkaniittymaa.com (only in Finnish though).
Where can I listen to Peitto’s soundscapes?
At the moment you can stream the soundscapes from Soundcloud. If you know how to get them released in Spotify, please send me an e-mail: peitto@jukkaniittymaa.com
Why don’t you release the EP in Spotify via Distrokid?
Distrokid was my initial plan, but unfortunately, they informed me that they do not release ambient, meditation music or soundscapes. :/
What are these soundscapes meant for?
I hope that these soundscapes could help you to focus more deeply while working, meditating, commuting, or sleeping.
Do you plan to release more album’s in the future under Peitto’s pseudonym?
Yes, it is possible if I find a way to get the soundscapes into Spotify.
How do you have crafted these soundscapes?
It’s a kind of magic. And waveforms. And filters. And reverbs.
Have you ever done some “real” music?
Yes. I have been making mostly electronic music since the mid-’90s.
Can I follow Peitto in Instagram / Facebook / TikTok / Twitter / Etc. ?
At the moment I don’t think I could provide any extra value by updating social media with Peitto’s pseudonym.
I would like to have my own hand-tailored deep focus soundscape, do you do such and how much it would cost?
