SoundOkapi has created numerous videos for his YouTube channel.
Here, you'll discover a curated collection of his finest and most sought-after content. Among these are demonstration videos featuring various instruments, alongside inspired recordings from his home studio.
On one occasion, SoundOkapi ventured into filmmaking, producing a gritty, half-hour-long short film by transforming footage captured at a nearby pond into a haunting depiction of the afterlife. Through manipulation of colors and lighting, combined with eerie music from his Lyra-8, he crafted an unsettling work.
(You can find this particular one below, titled 'The Uncanny Thought').

On April 19th 2024 at 7:00 PM, this new album will premiere on YouTube, unveiling new and groovy facets of SoundOkapi's work. Join the artist and engage in conversation during the inaugural listening experience.
One of SoundOkapi's standout collaborations is with vocal artist Hanne Raffnsøe. Here's a video from one of their rehearsals before recording their three lengthy singles.
Another artist held in high regard by SoundOkapi is singer Helle Thun. In 2021, he participated on her album titled
Tales from Forgotten Woods
with improvisations for voice and pipe organ on the Gateway label. This handheld video was made by Lars Koldkjær (Warning: this was before SoundOkapi grew his long hair...)
In May 2021, following the COVID-19 shutdown, SoundOkapi contributed to a streaming concert recorded in his own studio and visually edited by the sound artist Thorzager. Subsequently, he titled his lengthy improvisation 'The Universe is Ajar'.
One of SoundOkapi's earliest videos remains one of his most-watched. It features a short improvisation showcasing his newly acquired Onde from La Voix du Luthier alongside his Haken ContinuuMini.
The short film referenced in the introduction on this page may not be among SoundOkapi's most popular videos. However, he holds it very dear and believes that his performance with the Soma Lyra-8 in the music that accompanies the film represents a peak on this instrument, unmatched before or since.
The most-watched video on SoundOkapi demonstrates how to create textures that evolve over time on the
Soma Cosmos (no.5 on the page)
- a rather nerdy subject to become the most popular, but such is the state of affairs in the electronic music world.
During one of his many trips to Berlin, SoundOkapi visited Patch Point, the home of Ciat Lonbarde instruments, and experimented with a couple of them.
The artist name SoundOkapi often causes confusion regarding its pronunciation. However, this time Google Translate got it right.
