About Me



"There's something both hysterically funny and totally great about SUCKING at something and REFUSING TO GIVE UP...
It REALLY IRRITATES THE FUCK OUTTA SOME PEOPLE. "
- Slipperman
You have stumbled upon the virtual non-existent mysoap page of Sigurd Lapveteläinen. Actually, all you see is a bunch of whacky zeros and ones converted into an electron stream sprayed all over the screen, your brain cooks it up and tells your mind silly lies... YOU'RE NOT HERE, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.
Having "said" that, welcome!
This page shall salute and celebrate the all-pervasive concept of popular public transparency, in addition to shamelessly manipulating you to check out the fine didjital audio replicas of the music of Sigurd Lapveteläinen. Feel free to let the universe know what you think, stick it in the freezer and watch it melt.
Indeed.
In these times of angst and glee, it sure feels weird to just keep all that stuff to yourself - when you can puke it out and have almost anyone examine the results. It sure is a messed up universe, and we all think you are to blame.
Meanwhile, let us ponder the significance of short-person behaviour related to the keys to vertical polarity.
PS. If you really need it or feel like needing it, here's a bio:
Born in 1979 somewhere on the northern hemisphere.
Regrets not having learned to play the drumset like Mr. Dave Lombardo.
Feels brotherhood and compassion at times. Reads music.
Communicates in various languages with men, animals and spirits.
Refrains from dancing with wolves or tapirs.
Expect to find yourself immersed in Sigurd's next solo effort in the nearest el sobrante forthnight!

Yep.Can't get any music done. Nada. Ingenting. Nix. My ears deliver no sonic good. My head feels empty. I feel like I've heard everything a zillion times before. Nothing sounds fresh. No inspiration. ...
