Other projects of mine:
Matti Paalanen (who frequently uses Michikawa nick on the internet) is a finnish hobbyist composer who has worked in his home studio for a few years now, mainly producing orchestral soundtrack tunes for role playing game sessions. With firm belief in freedom of music he has published all of his material under Creative Commons licence. Celestial Aeon Project is his main project.
"I've been overwhelmed by the response people have shown to the projects of mine. Many have asked if it is possible to offer donations via PayPal, and while I appreciate the thought, I have to decline - I hold the freedom of art and music in great value and as my life is currently economically stable and sustainable, I'm in no need for extra money. However, I believe that we live in a middle of truly extraordinary times and there are lots of intense changes going on in the world at the moment, and now more than ever healthy sense of responsibility and unselfishness is needed. So if you enjoy the soundscapes and are wondering, if there are some way you can lend me a helping hand and make the world a bit more balanced place, please make yourself acquainted with the following organizations and their work:
If you find the ideas presented by these organisations to be acceptable and interesting, please offer your support to them instead of me. Thank you." -Matti
