You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

About Me

slightly deranged guy with überhuge amount of interest in reality and rationality. always a pleasure to find out how things work. or don't. i'm trying to create as much as possible and have many small projects. always too many ideas for new stuff. i write random stuff for CHAMBERS magazine and will do, as long as i'll be able to pick the subjects i like and know about.. most of all i enjoy making haunting soundscapes or music for art/movie projects.
..some music with me involved (click on pictures to access myspace sites):
..experimental, quite evil downtempo .. many of the projects mentioned below have something to do with band/live versions we're trying to put together.
..my beatbox/acappella alter ego, every sound from my ever developing eating hole.
..an offbeat trio with me as a drum machine.
..a strange mixture of evil chaos and noisy jam parts, from grindy riots to sludgy drum&bass etc. i mostly scream and whine through different effect gadgets.
..mostly me, but lots of contributions from my talented musician friends.
..my darkest solo project, with intentions of scoring something like short films, exhibitions or whatever you might want me to do anything for.
..different experiments with close friends, nothing too serious.
.. weird electronica, breakbeat etc with an old friend. occasionally my beatboxing and vocals sampled.
.. grind+crust+trash+punk+hiphop+whatever. no guitarists, but two bass players and three vocalists with my adhd little brother acting like he's playing drums.
.. punk band with two members only. some rehearsal place live clips and some "studio" stuff with additional instruments by played by ourselves. no drums, just my mouth.
..COUYA is not just a band, we have also done some animation clips. here's one for finnish channel 4. we didn't win the contest this was made for, but they aired this some times which isn't necessarily a shameful achievement for rookie animators. short as they demanded.
