Moi, hej, hej or [most welcome]. Call me Arve. My family comes from Hämeenlinna, which is in Finland. We moved a lot and so we got to live in Estonia, Germany and UK. Now i live in Stockholm.I am a child of Finnish-Dutch parents, which makes me quite multi-cultural, i guess. :) As a child, I got to know about 5-6 different languages[if u include dialects], which I practice from time to time. We often went to Middle Asia with my parents [visiting friends], which was amazing experience to me. My first love was Cars&Motorcycles, so I studied car-mechanics, bit carpentry, and when i got bored I studied Theology [BA,MA]. i worked with YMCA, at Percy Prior's Music in Salisbury, Starbucks Coffee in Salisbury & some other places. I love reading inspiring stuff [like J.Grisham, F.Peretti, A.Dillard, D.Willard, H.Nouwen, P.Yancey, R.Foster, L.Tolstoi, A.Solshenizyn, F.Dostojevskji ...]; I love diverse music [from minimalism/classic/electronica to folklore/folk/country and to Harcore/Punk/Metal]. I enjoy having deep conversations & real friendships [1 real good friend is all u need!]. Much more i enjoy very good teas, cooking with friends & Finnish sauna, of course! Sauna is like going to the church to the Finnish people [it puts u in the right place before God and before people again; it reveals all your nakedness and all your needs; it makes u honest & humble]. I like working with graphics, design & photography. I could do that for days without eating. Sometimes i write songs. Then I record them & release my music [with a lot help from my friends]. I had a band with my younger sister called EDISE. it was a very interesting time for both of us. Unfortunately she decided to get married & have a life of her own. This is how my new project "TAMMSAARE" was born. Sometimes i play live, but i rather appreciate Quality than Quantity. I like to go for a walk, it makes me think endless thoughts about the light & about the new world to come. When i come home, i feel a bit more transformed by the Light. I love traveling; seeing places & getting to know different people enriches my narrow-minded views. Mostly, I love going by train. The sound of the rails & wheels sound inspiring to me & awakes my desire for a destination unknown and knows at the same time. I liked to sit at Starbucks & to drink a ZEN tea while watching people passing by [guessing what's on their minds] or at Cafe String, nowadays. I love to watch a good movie [which happens seldom]. I like to have a good laugh [it must be very honest, very naive, very open-hearted].I'd like to do a lot of another different things, but i had to conclude that my life is too short do exercise all of these. So I learn to set right priorities, which is very hard nowadays. I also enjoy working with Saturday Night Live cafe nowadays. It's feels great to do good food for the crowd, to bless and to be blessed! This is my prayer: "Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about; See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong — then guide me on the road to eternal life".
