Music legend Timo Tapani Oksala passed away in December 2010. A gathering in his memory was held at Restaurant Dubrovnik on 6th of February 2011 together with his closest friends, musicians and other prominent figures in Finnish music industry. Seeing so many notable and legendary people paying their final respects to TT inspired me to write an overview of TT's career as a producer and sound engineer.
In his career TT took part in numerous projects and the sheer number of hit records he was involved in is simply astounding. The listing below should demonstrate the impact of TT's work in Finnish rock music, especially in the 80's and 90's when domestic music began to dominate the Finnish charts.
This listing includes records TT produced, recorded or mixed as well as records he made in collaboration with other professionals. It is not complete and due to TT's productivity some records are very likely missing. Majority of these records have been made at Finnvox – a fact of which we are very proud.
