Kari Vakeva (b 1957) is a Finnish composer whose oeuvre includes orchestral works such as "Symphony" (1976-1979) which was partly recorded by Finnish RSO/Jorma Panula in 1982 and "Elegia" (1989-1990) performed by RSO Frankfurt/Diego Masson in 2005, and electroacoustic works like "Ray 6" (2002) available on CD and "Fether Lyre" (2003-2004). Early works from 70s through 90s are acoustic, though computer was also used for algorithmic score preparation purposes. From 2001 onward the electroacoustic works use computer to synthesize the sound - around 2002 with Csound and from 2003 with an evolving synthesis software developed by himself and named MAL-d. He is self-educated as a composer.
