Alternative Control

About Me

Alternative Control is nowadays (since Feb. 2007) a project of two guys. ElDespertador (Juha) & Teemu. We've been making and playing music together or separately since the 90's.

Both of us are influenced by music that stretches from mainstream rock (from every imanigable decade) to more dark/fast/progressive/weird/jazzy/fuzzy etc. stuff. Which - i guess - can be heard in our music. Anyway, I'd say we also have pretty distinctive sound of our own.

The roles do vary, but so far E.D.'s mostly responsible for vocals, lyrics/orig. music, guitars, drums & "pseudo" bass. Teemu for (real) bass, guitars and most of the drum mats (used in some songs). A good bunch of the arrangements and recordings are done together (Teemu usually handles the mixing/editing and E.D. does some final editing if needed).

More songs can be found from:

Away is up, Fractal Ch. I completed

So just added another "new old song". This ones called Away. I've re-wrote the lyrics on this one, to better match both the song and the theme of the demo-album. These final lyrics are sarcastic and a...

O.R. makes it back, again...

Because MySpace now has the ability to add 6 songs instead of 4. I thought that some "balancing" might do good to our songlist as most of our songs here have lately been more or less from that faster ...

A blast from the past...

I've wanted re-record (not necessarily remake) some of my very older songs. This is the first one of those and this one just happens to be really, really old. The song is called We could if we would (...
