VALOVOIMA

Briefly

I am Finnish electronic musician who creates quite alot of stuff from different styles ranging from trip hop to hardcore techno and from breakbeat to ambient, and takes inspiration from quite alot from everything and everywhere. To listen my music, go to downloads section and just click files. All the stuff is encoded in high sound quality and is free for non-commercial broadcast and distribution. Besides that I'm always interested in playing gigs in different happenings and networking with new people!

News

2011-08-23 Surprisingly many gigs lately, eventhough that was not my intention. There have been request for pressed records, but unfortunately I can't promise anything. For me, making music and playing live is a hobby. In contrary to finding a label/audio processing/record distribution, which would take the effort amount of daily work. I suggest you download the files, and burn the tracks you like on a CD-R. One could consider mixed live sets as entities. Perhaps I do? 

2011-04-11 I played at Brainbashers: Russian Night 09.04.2011 at Tampere. You can download my set here. All tracks are previously unreleased.

2010-06-12 From now on old tracks are found from archive page. 

2010-06-12 My Brainbashers 3 live set is available for download here!

2010-06-12 Zutsuu and I were visiting Bassoradio last tuesday and talking about our music, party arrangements and hardcore techno in general. You can download it here but it's finnish only.

Download section

It doesn't take high-tech equipment and fancy software to make good music. Most of my stuff have being made with old Macintosh laptop, Renoise, sound samples and some additional virtual synthesizers such as ABL2. So if you are interested in starting to make your own music, then go for it! Learn new things, spread the music, arrange parties with your friends and download other artists for pleasure and inspiration. Free culture grows by sharing!
