Interests: music in its various forms, literature, aimless pondering (preferably in a bar), procrastinating, daydreaming.

Vices: see above.

Musical background: Been playing different instruments in different sorts of bands since early teens. Never took any lessons, don't know shit about music theory nor even consider myself a real "musician", but who cares? The most important thing is that you look good, right?

Nowadays I am playing, besides Chaosweaver, in a band called Dawn Delayed (www.dawndelayed.com) and some other projects that have not really achieved enough so that I could brag about them here.

Equipment: Korg N364, MicroKORG + whatever else I can get my filthy hands on. All the synth sounds on Chaosweaver recordings are from the magnificent Studio Perkele's softsynths, though.

Musical heroes: Robert Smith, Greg Dulli, Kauko Röyhkä, King Diamond, Morrissey, Jori Sjöroos, Prince, Steve Harris, Brian Eno.

Top 5 bands: The Cure, The Afghan Whigs, A-ha, U2, Iron Maiden.

Top 5 albums:
The Cure – Disintegration
The Afghan Whigs – Black Love
Depeche Mode – Songs of Faith And Devotion
Kent – Isola
Suede – Dog Man Star

Top 5 songs:
Audrey Hepburn – Moon River
Manic Street Preachers – Motorcycle Emptiness
A-ha – The Sun Always Shines on TV
Radiohead – Let Down
Ultramariini – Aulanko

Favorite Chaosweaver song: Stigma Diaboli.

Favorite movies: The Crying Game, Lost in Translation, Blade Runner.

Favorite tv series: news (don't really watch much else nowadays), Twin Peaks, Monty Python.

Favorite prase from a movie or a tv show: "Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money." (Heist)

Favorite books: A list of my fave books would be a book in itself, but I love good crime fiction. Lots of classics, especially Russian, are pretty cool too. A good story is always a good story. Then again, if it's modern, urban, well written and full of emotion, I'll probably like it.

Favorite drinks: a mix of cola and jaffa, bischoshofen.

Favorite food: vegetarian fajitas w/extra guacamole.

Places you'd like to visit: Transylvania, Tokyo, your bedroom if you're female and look like Scarlett Johansson, Famke Janssen or Christina Ricci.

Favorite places you've been to: maybe Amsterdam, but every place is beautiful in it's own way.

Life philosophy: Know what you want and know why you want it, assume nothing, act rather than react. Regret things you have done, not the ones you haven't.

Who'd you like to meet: I don't want to tell. She's not reading this anyway.
