Artist History Born 1962 in Helsinki, Finland. Spent most of the seventies listening pop from the radio, after hearing enough blues-based music and the flourishing Finnish new wave scene joined a few bands as a bassist and songwriter. Bought the first 4-track recorder to demo songs for the band, then got interested in other forms of music created for the tape. Finally, mid-nineties, got involved with various theatre groups as a composer/musician. Theatre performances provided a good outlet for the more ambient stuff. Some of the music has been described as "cinematographic", some as an "extra actor".

Group Members J. Pekka Mäkelä, as himself. Fretless bass still the main instrument, besided that some guitar and assorted electronica.

Instruments Various instruments with various treatments

Albums Markiisitar de Sade (with Aleksi Oksanen, 1998), Kinematoaudio (2000)
