Artist History This is a one man project, that started long, long time ago. Unlike most people, I´ve always loved video game music and everything related to Electronic music. I started on MODs when I had an Amiga 500 and moved on to a PC (passing by a SNES, wich is also a very big musical reference). When the PSX finally came out, I bought it for a single game, WipeOut. WipeOut became more than just a game, it influenced my entire taste for music as well. I decided that even without knowledge or equipment, I wanted to do more than just listen.
