Satan and Kraftwerk plays electropop - The Knife

This electropop sounds like Satanic circus music together with Kraftwerk. The vocals in some parts are male and in some parts female.
The sound is both dark and twisted but not too melancholic because there´s lot of fast melodies and timbrals.
I find it very odd sounding first but fun with twisted synthlines and arpeggios
which reminds me of 8-bit videogames and industrial synthpop.

If you want to read more be sure check out this Walrus music blog about
the band called "The Knife". Yes they are swedish. :-)

The tracks are royalty free music in Shockwave Sound with my
composer name Kimmo Rinta-Pollari.

Usually I don´t follow very much who uses my music and where because
it´s all handled by Shockwave Sound. Anyway I want to give big thanks
to game developers at New Star Games and Bjorn Lynne at Shockwave Sound.

I am also a game geek so I had to buy this game. It´s rather difficult with arrow keys
but I still have to try it with real gamepad.
So here´s the screenshots from the main menu to show the credits.
This is just for blatant self promotion and marketing.

At the end I still want to add this link for a game review on the test freaks

Grand Opening at Second Life - Crimson Castle

We have just built something very different and unique I hope. Most of the second life creations are dull or just plaing ugly. We wanted to create something that nobody has ever seen in second life. It´s combination of gothic and medieval style and spiced with some influences from fantasy books.

new ipod music website www.ipodtechno.com

It´s getting very late. Almost 12 o´clock but I just get a decent beta version for this website running.

There´s a new website (beta) ipodtechno that has got growing list of artists
who have their music for sale at iTunes.
You are able to find my album links there.

The site is not yet quite completed but all stuff is there already.
The itunes music links page needs some more work with the
layout for the link buttons. Now the buttons are still not showing on the correct way on
different browsers. I hope I can get better webmaster but I was lazy this time and
got a ready css template that fits the mac/ipod theme.

So you wanna see old mp3.com artist page?

mp3.com logo between 1998-2003.

The old mp3.com was one of the biggest and most popular independent artist website of it´s time. Altough it was very commercial and had also some mainstream artists like David Bowie, Madonna, Eminem etc. and their artist pages. When mp3.com was still alive at 2003 it was possible for indie artists to make their own mp3 cds. I had a stack of them and there´s a few I found from my shelves.
Today the new mp3.com is still very popular and has got also the artist pages from old unsigned mp3.com members. I am one of the lucky old mp3.com artists. If you want to check it out go here: http://www.mp3.com/digitalbeat
