Composer's notes:
"This is one of the compositions I always liked very much, although I happened to water down the original version with a lot of odd mistakes (can be heard in the demo link above) and one of the most out-of-ideas name you can give a song. This is the 2012-version which I somewhat modified, tweaking the sounds a bit, removing parts what didn't quite sound right to my ears right now 2012 A.D... and so forth. The track is mostly sampled material (sample-cd's or packages), although I did record the electric guitars myself. :-) I have to be honest: there's still a bit of intonation with some instruments. But hey, I'd rather make something new.

I remember suffering from a musical tired-ears-syndrome (and writer's block) just after making this track, which made it impossible for me to listen or compose ANY music for a year or so from that day on.

Anyways, when it comes to demo art, I always liked Martti's (Preacher / Traction) minimalistic productions, and I think I gave forth an idea of making a very special soundtrack for him. He ended up liking it a lot, and so did yours truly: it became a weird, misty, organic, slavic version of what Portishead would've made in 1994 after a trip to eastern europe. Or something like that."

Noir Est L'Automne (2005)

Air molecules move,
from a piece of sound art,
made somewhere by someone.

Then eardrum moves,
then nerve signals are sent,
then feelings are felt,
then sequencer is opened,
and this comes out as a musical product of sorts.


a.k.a. "pinza" (on earlier/demoscene related material)

Born in Finland, making music since around 1997. Various mediums, platforms, projects, all relatively under the radar except the commercial productions.

I apply a few rules to everything:

1. Only release music that has - to my knowledge - a clear place in the world of overly vast, mostly mediocre musical output.

2. Fight against loudness wars, of course.

3. Try musical styles freely, without restrictions. So should you.
