About

Hi, I’m Maru.

I build gadgets in my workshop and make music in my home studio. Sometimes the two meet – like the camera robot I’m planning for my music videos.

I’ve been recording and producing music for over 20 years. Hip hop, pop, rock, electronic, for myself and for other artists. I’ve made YouTube videos for six years, and I’ve been modelling in Blender for just as long. These days there’s also a 3D printer working next to me most of the day.

My first maker build was a DIY 3D scanner made from parts I already had in my drawers. It took much longer than I planned, I put a transistor in backwards and lost two days to it – and in the end it works. That’s pretty much how I do things: I start, I break stuff, I figure it out, and I show you all of it.

I’m based in Finland, after spending a good part of the last 15 years abroad, including Mexico and Spain.

What’s next: a programmable camera robot, and my first solo album. Both will show up here when they’re ready.

If you want to follow along, YouTube is the best place. Or leave your email below and I’ll let you know when the next build is out.
