Started playing around with a section of Black Sabbath's "Evil Eye" where only drums and bass are playing. Then I decided to lay pads and synths on top of it, and chop it more creatively. This is again more of an experiment rather than a whole coherent song.

Evil Eye

A song that was long unfinished. This time I experimented with a Sega Megadrive/Genesis soundfont. The percussion instruments play a simple 2/3 polyrhythm. Instead of a fully-fledged song with a verse-chorus structure I decided to do something more repetitive.

Demo Song 14 (Genesis / MegaDrive soundfont)

The previously previewed song now in full. This could be probably described as "synthpop with 80s influences". A friend of mine who is a composer gave me lots of good insight regarding mixing and I feel like having learned a lot while making this song. 

Synth 1: Steinberg Model-E with iZoTope Vinyl
Synth 2: Dexed (a synth closely modeled on the Yamaha DX7)
Drums: Beat taken from one song + drum samples from LinnDrum
Bass: TAL-BassLine version 1.5.5

Demo Song 15

Downloaded Korg Gadget music production software for my Nintendo Switch some time ago. Here's a simple song I made with it, something more repetitive that could be used as background music.

Demo Song 16 (Korg Gadget Background Music)

Another short song made with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch. Instead of a normal song with verse-chorus structure, I got inspired by how dynamic music is often done in games. There are two phrases consisting of several bars that are repeated. Imagine being in a some kind of dark cave or industrial complex. Then enemies (gruesome monsters or robots) start appearing and more dark synths and heavy percussion enter the mix.

Demo Song 17 (Korg Gadget Ambient Background Music)

Another track made with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch. I was listening a lot of drum and bass and jungle music when making this. Also I tried experimenting with dynamics.

Demo Song 18 (Korg Gadget Electronic)

Yet another song made with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch. Piano's sound has certain interesting characteristics along with Eb major. Again, instead of a fully-fledged song I decided to make repetitive background music.

Demo Song 19 (Korg Gadget Electronic)

Another song made with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch.  Again, instead of a fully-fledged song, this has different parts that are supposed to be looping, like video game music. This is my first song composed mostly in B Locrian mode. The latter part beginning at 0:57 has a polymetric melody on top of the main melody; the main melody is in 4/4 while the another is in 9/8.

Demo Song 20

Yet another Korg Gadget song that I just decided to leave short instead of trying to make it longer. Polyrhythms and weird FX.

Demo Song 21

Short piece I made with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch. Tried various synths to do something ambient sounding. I have to finish my studies within the next few months so there hasn't been time to do new music, this short piece will however prove that I'm not going to abandon my SoundCloud profile.

Small Happy Ambient Clip

A Finnish bloke who listens mainly metal, video game music and electronica. I'm not interested in making music that strictly fits into one genre; experimenting, having diverse musical influences, combining them all together and seeing what happens is much more interesting.

My equipment consists of two Ibanez guitars, two basses of the same brand, Novation's Launchkey 61 keyboard, Zoom G3 guitar pedal, lots of samples and VST's and Reaper for editing and recording.

Metal or more guitar-driven songs will come here once I have enough patience in tinkering with my USB audio interface settings. 

Influences: Nine Inch Nails, King's X, Voivod, Nevermore, Deftones, Fear Factory, Sikth, various video game music composers, various electronic music artists
