So, it seems we’re closing in on the final release of this site. Only 3 months late, hehe.

On another note, I’m learning to play keyboards again, which is harder than I realized. Just gotta keep on smashing the keys, maybe I’ll produce something melodic some day. At least I can play Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time already. Almost.

Then there’s that Fallout 3 Alternative Soundtrack, which is also going to be released about 3 months late. We’ve got most of stuff wrapped up now. Or should I say Claymore’s got most of the stuff wrapped up, I’ve been more or less slacking the whole time on the administrative side. I’ll see if I can make another combat theme or two during the next few days.

Oh, and tomorrow’s a fun night at the pub. There’s this bar called “PSK Kaupunni” just across the street and they have these Chambre Noir events in there, which means they’re playing dark ambient, noise and industrial the whole night, which is, obviously, beyond awesome.

More coffee and cigarettes. Adios.

    Nice job getting the site up and running, looking forward to exploring your music torrent. I see you really have no use for color which I like, it makes the site very focused.

    Nice site, mate. Very good job and the music you’ve created is amazing. I hope you keep on doing it on your way. I say “hi” from Colombia :D

    Cheers.

Who am I?

About me

I am Sampo Närhi, a Finnish homo sapiens sapiens. I was raised into a family of musicians and other artists. Needless to say I’m a bit peculiar. I also am one of those people who drink too much coffee, stay up too late and never can find a pen when it’s needed. This, I believe, is quite common among artists.

I spend my days by staring blankly at my computer screen, waiting for revelations - ideas for new songs. Those occur very rarely nowdays unless I have a project to concentrate my thoughts on.

Electronic music is my forte, which of breakbeat, drum’n’bass, ambient and industrial are the closest to my heart. Despite that, I like to think myself as a very versatile composer, since I have the means and the experience to work on almost anything. I also have a fetish for ethnic percussions and post-apocalyptic stuff.

I believe mood is what makes and defines music. It doesn’t have to be complex to be awesome, it doesn’t have to have a clear structure with many different parts to be good. All music really needs is a carefully crafted atmosphere that makes the listener really feel something.
