Pekka Nurmikallio

Founder, owner and recording engineer at Microvox recording studio in Lahti, Finland, born December 27, 1942 in Helsinki, Finland; died January 9, 2008. The studio was founded in 1968 and disbanded in 1982. Microvox-Studio was famous for being small (only 60 m2), uncomfortable (the rooms were only 186 cm high) and technologically unadvanced, but a lot of top Finnish artists recorded their music there. Nurmikallio also ran his own group Pekka Nurmikallion Orkesteri in the early 1960s. He played drums in the group.
