Horrible music. 85% acoustic and skill-free. The remaining 15 percent is obviously pure twisted brilliance.

The Arrival

Epic sludge. 
Now, liner notes: This song actually holds a special place in my heart, marking a moment I actually learned to play a cheap two-stringed cello enough to get a song across, to ... well, compose something with it. See, I don't know shit about music even if I make a lot of it. Couldn't play my way out of a mime convention. I'd bought the damn thing for multi-tracking tutti horror sound effects and space whale sounds, but after two cheap plastic string holders had blown off and I finally got around to putting the bow on those strings, it started vibrating. I realized that I loved it and that it was something different from all the perfectly tuned instruments I had played badly, it was alive. I could easily speak through it in a mangled dialect that would make real musicians cry. This song (and its sister, Love Theme) was the moment that it all just clicked. For better or worse is not for me to decide – just, a special place, you know.

They haven't drilled here in decades

I do music. And sound.
Game music, too, but that's mostly work. I like to do my homework, myself.



Also sometime producer of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/panssarijuna" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Panssarijuna</a>. Fun, in Finnish!


All right YEAH YEAH. WHAT ARE THESE?

THE CHIP is just me fucking about with 80s tv cop themes. Hey, I calls them as I does themses.

OUR SEASIDE ESCAPE is a bunch of soundtrack-type songs (or sketches, if you want to be a dick about it :D ) that I've been working on lately. They're not for any specific small-town murder mystery serial, in fact they're not for anything. But for your enjoyment, that is. Hmm.

PROPHECIES collects all kinds of drones and ambiences. Like, ambient, you know, music for, I dunno, dystopian homes and farms? Or short films about love and loss in the time of silurians? Dunno, I just ... do this stuff.
ok, that's the unreleased latest stuff mostly dealt with, what about the rest? 

FUTURE RUINS is my latest album, out in iTunes, BeatPort, Spotify etc., it's pretty much Space Ambient – but I like to think it's the good kind. Lots of found sound, droning drones and old-fashioned melody things, quite a bit of sound design hidden in there, too. Check it out.

BOXY MUSIC, is a bunch of small melody vignettes. Because making my next Big Albums (more on those later) started feeling like work, them being densely layered and processed, I started relaxing by doing little melodies during workday and evenings. Boxy is the result, simple childish melodies for young listeners. Not bad for working on your coloring book! <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Buy</a> it or just listen to it here, neither way breaks my bank.

THE CAVE is my neo-non-classical (or Bad Ambient, I dunno) diversion. it's far from easy listening. I got myself a bow and mallets and started bowing stuff, decided that making a minimal cave exploration turned sci-fi -soundtrack sounds like fun. It has been, for me, you can make up your own mind. You can buy it on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>. If you do, I promise to waste all your money on Etsy stuff.

FUTURE CITIES is my forthcoming opus :D It was supposed to be a little record about the future that science once promised us, like eight songs. Don't let anybody tell me that I have problems sticking to my plans, ok? After having released the first third in Future Ruins (up there) I'm left with these two full-length albums, Cities and 

FUTURE DREAMS is the brightest timeline, the warmest of the Future records. If someone decides to publish them or I start to care.

Then there's Tea For Miss Yamaha (2001), my 300+ gram vinyl downtempo steal... I mean, sample-fest. Still very much loved among lovers of such things.

After that, I did some ambient albums and fun beats. You can guess which LP:s are which, they're all in my sets.

You can find almost all the previous albums for free here or on the <a href="http://www.polyfonken.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a>. Except the Zen Bound soundtracks, you have to go to <a href="http://zenbound.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">zenbound.com</a> for those.
