Bio

A mad man with a box, containing a miniature electro-mechanic symphonic orchestra, a bunch of odd space sounds and some synthetic doohickeys of whirl and whistle. Usually I do cinematic stuff, with heavy epic bombastic cheese and lately more and more electronic influences. Completed FAWM 2011 and it changed my life. Failed at 50/90 last year.

----

This year, I present thee an installment to my Cosmic Fruit War Saga! Previously on the saga, humanity had gone to the stars and beyond, and an explorer sought to reach the end of the universe (http://rahkoi.bandcamp.com/track/theres-a-mango-at-the-end-of-the-universe-and-it-gets-eaten-by-the-great-cosmic-whale-shark). He found a mango. And a whale shark. Don't ask.

Getting attacked by the whale shark led him to crash-land into a desolate planet which he soon discovered was contaminated by the vilest and most ancient of all evils: the Pineapple, which had been thought extinct after the previous Cosmic Fruit War. Driven insane by the taint of the planet, the explorer feasted on the Pineapple before managing to make his escape, carrying with him the taint of the Pineapple to all known universe. (http://rahkoi.bandcamp.com/track/stuck-on-the-pineapple-infested-planet-that-the-seven-ancient-crystals-of-the-eternal-time-vortex-warned-would-serve-as-a-breeding-ground-for-the-abysmal-taint-of-the-vile-pineapple-of-doooooom). A massive war broke out between the heinous Pineapple and the followers of other fruits.

The story told during this FAWM will be of a single planet caught amidst the conflict!

  • explodingmary 2 months ago
    holy hand grenades, rakhoi, you are an evil genius! okay, maybe not evil, but very very high on the raw foodists' list of offenders, for your flagrant anti-fruit campaign. when are you coming to the States, again? i only ask so that i can make sure to have a cup of raspberries on hand at all times... for protection.

    carry on.
  • laratheviolet 2 months ago
    Just sent you an email with chords and stuff!
  • wolfkier 2 months ago
    Thank you. smile

    Congratulations on completing the journey AND winning FAWM.
    2 for 1!
    wolf.
  • laratheviolet 2 months ago
    sooo...sorry I've been out of touch. I've been in a creative stuck-place this month. I've got a couple sets of lyrics with no melody and/or a minor blues song we could work on in the next couple days - what sounds good to you?
  •  errol 2 months ago
    Oh... that's what happened, now that I'm doing behind the scenes cleanup... the conversion failed. Bother. Sorry about that. Next time!
  •  errol 2 months ago
    Oh BOTHER! I thought I uploaded your song and it wasn't there! sad

    I do have #8 downloaded, so It WILL get played! Sorry Rahkoi! Don't worry, I will play it.
  • laratheviolet 3 months ago
    Hey! I'm not sure how to proceed on this folktronica thing, either - maybe I could send you a couple lyrical/musical ideas I have and you can get a feel for what you might have fun working with? How's that sound?
  •  errol 3 months ago
    Alllloooo Rahkoi! First, thanks for the comment on my song. I haven't been good at responding quickly as of late. Ugh ugh.

    And one day, I will sing a finnish song, one day. big_smile
  • candle 3 months ago

  •  donna 3 months ago
    Really strange about that file, Rahkoi. It simply won't download from your site. I'll keep coming back to test it, though. Maybe try from my laptop.
  •  brzan 3 months ago
    Thanks Rahkoi! You are very kind! smile If you ever want to borrow my voice for anything, I'm good with that. Tis the time for collabs if the chance is there.
  •  ptr 3 months ago

    Re: "Where The Skyfire Gleams " - freaking epic yo - my fav of the thread so far
  •  errol 4 months ago
    It takes me a long time too... however, I don't have as many sounds to choose from so it's a bit easier when you have no choice!
  •  errol 4 months ago
    Allooo! Oooh, orchestral music! I like making those! Kinda... they're hard to compse, but still fun...
