shuriken
Information/history:Creator and webmaster of TSP. I started making music in December 2003 with Digital Performer, and started using Reason 2.0 a few months later. Since then, I've stuck with Reason and used 2.5, 3.0 and currently 4.0.
Discography:
Around 2004-2005: "Ice" album - free internet release, not on the web anymore but e-mail me if you want it
2007-04-20: "10010 Delusions" album - free internet release, available at http://cosmokas.fidisk.fi/10010delusions/
After the release of "10010 Delusions", I immediately started working on a third Shuriken album, "Brainforest", but this album has been stalled indefinitely despite the fact that I have finished a sizeable amount of tracks for it. The reason for this is that I feel my sound has evolved and mutated to a point where it lies outside the musical spectrum of Shuriken.
Consequently, I am currently creating music for a new album, under a new artist name. It will hopefully turn out to be something of a concept album, and thus I'll refrain from releasing anything until the album is finished.
Other appearances:
2006: "Asteroid" in Bemanistyle DDR Original Song Competition 5, ITG Division - 16th place (of 27)
2007: "Asteroid" in StepMania StepMix 2 - 7th place (of 45)
2007: "Right Fold" in Assembly 2007 Instrumental Music Competition - 14th place (of 21)
