The Awakening

Time to end this slumber and start doing stuff. I’ll be updating the site during the next few weeks with a few blog posts and new songs. I’ll also wrap up a facebook artist page (about the time) and see about updating all the other communities I belong to.

The last year has been slow what’s come to music, thus the site also fell into a slumber. I’m currently working on a soundtrack to a disclosed project, I’ll let some sneak peeks out if I can get the permission from the devs.

Until then, cheerio.

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 drinking too much coffee while 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.
