Some music made by me

I like to play various instruments—with varying success. Here are some, mostly very old, songs made by me and some friends. Most have way too much bass because of the lack of a proper mastering environment.

2006

Kaipuu (192kbps)

My bride was "kidnapped" in my weddings, an in order to get her back, I had to compose a song in five minutes. It also had to contain some very peculiar words (but sorry, no English tranlation): morsian, painitrikoot, iskuporakone, sorvata, ananas. I managed to come up with 12 bars in the given time, but that was enough! Later on, I developed the song further and recorded it. In fact, it was the first (recorded) song where I have ever sung.
