Music is very much about the fun of cooperation and out-of-the-box thinking. I'm often gratefully accepting help from others for my own songs (so far, drums and guitar). My weirdest projects were the writing of lyrics for a heavy-metal piece (never saw the light of day) and an old-school remix of a Finnish charts pop song (offline).

Alternative/Pop music 1998-2018
My music production from 1998 to 2018 is downloadable in its entirety on my "Leading Motive" project pages on the Finnish mikseri.net music portal. Part of these songs are also available on Soundcloud and on the Finnish Maihinnousu.fi. This part of my work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, i.e. a Free Culture License (in a nutshell: give appropriate credit, and distribute under the same license as the original).
Tape demos 1989-1997
Songs of the pre-digital era (1989-1997) are available on cassette only. They were never distributed digitally, with the exception of two songs on my mikseri.net page.
Soundtracks
What first started as an on-the-side afterthought soon developed into a bigger endeavour: Composing soundtracks and background music for computer games and interactive stories. This includes pieces for several Demo games of Ren'Py (2006-2009), as well as soundtracks for GO! Magical Boy (2006), Colorless Day (2006), Hanafuda Club (cancelled), Angelic Orbs (2009), and a Secret Project (2010-2012). Most of this music (contracts allowing) will find its way to my separate "Magnifying Glass" soundtrack project page. Note that this music is not under a Creative Commons License.
