The World of Sound

I reached the world of techno during my teenage. In parallel with the Amiga demo scene group dA JoRMaS we formed a crew called .jRM and started exploring the possibilities and different flavours of electronic music. During these excursions in electronica I've been influenced by quite a few artists with different styles and different music.

These days I'm involved in an independent record label called Sewer Leak. I also have a few music projects of my own. Releases coming up - stay tuned.

Tunes

Even though the past doesn't really represent the future in this case here are some tunes I've done a few years ago. Most of them are unfinished and sound unfinished as well. Some of the links point to dA JoRMaS' and .jRM's song pages that contain more information about the songs in addition to the possibility to download them.

Mixes

Recently I've been testing what italo disco mixes would sound alike if pitch shifting would be used while mixing. So far this has resulted in three mixes:

All the sounds in my earlier synth-only works come out of my Korg X5, Syntecno TeeBee and Ensoniq EPS16+. The more recent songs include sounds from a Novation Supernova II. Recently I've been using Soundcraft Spirit M12 as the mixer and my own program called Tutka as a tracker/sequencer. Earlier works were made using a Fostex 2016 and OctaMed SoundStudio v1.03c.
