10.10. 19:29  Ahermanni: Suurin osa kappaleista kuulostaa improvisoiduilta. Kappaleissa on paljon ns. mietintätaukoja ja harvassa on kunnollista melodiaa. Nämä seikat saavat kappaleet kuulostamaan samalta. Koettaisit käyttää hienoja taitojasi ihan aitoon säveltämiseenkin.
30.09. 11:34  Warheäd: Biisii tulee koko ajan lisää, mutta taso säilyy! Rock on!

05.05. 01:52  Draamajumala: Tuosta Windowpanen puolivälistä lähtevä nopeampitempoinen kohta on hieman samankaltainen kun omassa The Moth-kappaleessani :) Tuosta sun kappaleesta tulee mieleen Final Fantasy VII:n musat ja erityisesti Aeris' Theme.
05.05. 01:49  Draamajumala: Todella upea kappale ainakin tuo Windpane. Tunnelmasta jotenkin tulee omat biisit mieleen, mutta nämä on kyllä soitettu suuremmalla ammattitaidolla. Todella kaunista musaa teet.

Frozen Silence group on Last.fm

I've been overwhelmed by the response people have shown to the projects of mine. Many have asked if it is possible to offer donations via PayPal, and while I appreciate the thought, I have to decline - I hold the freedom of art and music in great value and as my life is currently economically stable and sustainable, I'm in no need for extra money. However, I believe that we live in a middle of truly extraordinary times and there are lots of intense changes going on in the world at the moment, and now more than ever healthy sense of responsibility and unselfishness is needed. So if you enjoy the soundscapes and are wondering, if there are some way you can lend me a helping hand and make the world a bit more balanced place, please make yourself acquainted with the following organizations and their work:

Plan International
Amnesty International
Worldwatch Institute


If you find the ideas presented by these organisations to be acceptable and interesting, please offer your support to them instead of me. Thank you.

An interesting sideleap. Evgueni Naverniouk from The 7th Guest (www.the7thguest.ca) contacted me and proposed that we could do a tune together. And so we did. I improvised the basic structure with piano and added some ambient pads and sent the outcome to Evgueni, who added beats, vocals and guitars. The outcome is literally a morphed child of Frozen Silence and The 7th Guest. The collaboration project was a wonderful experience, hopefully you'll enjoy it!
