Jouni Halmari RIP
My long-time friend and musical collaborator Jouni Halmari died
at the age of 42 in early June 2004, peacefully, watching tv at his home.
We came to know each other in 1983, and started the company
Oy Visual Power Ltd in 1987 (together with Douglas Sivén) to produce
music for tv, videos and the then popular multi-projector slide shows.
Although we weren't collaborating on commercial productions lately,
Jouni took part on all the first three Ozone Player albums.
Jouni had an incredible number of health problems, especially
during the last few years. Some of them finally took him.
Jouni was an exceptional person in every way, as all his friends
will surely agree. We will all miss him.
