Welcome

This page is an experimental project to explore the new emerging social economics of the internet.

I find it exciting to be part of a new revolution, where the means of production, marketing and distribution has been made cheap and available to everyone. It’s still a challenge to gain fame and fortune of course, but now it’s at least on more equal terms.

As the gap between artists and fans fades, we find ourselves being part of a much more dynamic scene, where we shine the spotlight on each other, and receive praise from the people that we admire.

I see a future where giving credit to things we like and support is a social thing, and where the concept of being marketable is considerably redefined. One day you put up a video of your cat doing something cute, and the next day you find that you’ve received enough appreciation credits to buy cat food for a week. You spend a few months on a forum, making clever and helpful posts, and earn enough credits to upgrade your computer. In return, you give credits to the people you think deserves it, for any reason.

It’s a wikiocratic future, where information and tools are free and the content sells itself. You’re a street performer, but your street corner is visited by the entire world.

In the spirit of this, I’ve decided to release my music for free, and hope to be able to set an example for how the future of the media industry could work.

Viva la revolution, and happy downloading. I hope you'll enjoy my music. :)

About Me

I’m a half Japanese, half Finnish dude from Sweden, born in 1983 (year of the NES). I started making music for the first time with Jester Interactive’s music program Music 2000 on Playstation 1, and then moved on to Image-line’s excellent music program FL Studio (Fruityloops) for the PC a few years later. It is still my favorite program.

On my spare time, I enjoy listening to all kinds of music, watching asian movies, buying weird japanese toys, hanging out with friends and going to rave parties. My favorite season is the winter, and I love everything to do with snow.

I find inspiration for my music from all kinds of things, mostly sounds and dreams, but what I love more than anything is the winter. It’s one of the most fascinating and beautiful things in the world, and I just can’t get enough of it.

My Dream

To visit the Icehotel up north in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden.

As my artist name suggests, I have a huge fondness of snow. My favorite season is the winter, and I love everything about it. What I would like more than anything else, is to one day make a journey up to the famous Icehotel in Sweden and stay for at least one night together with a friend. Hopefully, I'll even get the chance to see the amazing northern lights while I'm there!

The problem is of course that the Icehotel is rather expensive, with prices ranging from $170 to $397 per night for a double room, and the Northern Lights Tour costs $240 per person. Then there's travel and food expenses to consider as well.

MY PLAN

Any money I happen to receive from people in support of my music, I will save for the purpose of realizing my dream. In return, I will of course take lots and lots of pictures and videos and document the whole experience in a blog and image gallery. I would also record lots of sounds in order to make a whole new album, filled with lots of bonus material, especially dedicated to everyone whom helped to make a journey like this possible. It might even result in a documentary/music video thing, which would be fun!

Reached: $18 of $2500 (2 nights + tour, for 2 persons)
