Description: From day one, when I was half-forced to attend piano-classes, I've been involved with music. My life has revolved around it soon for 19 years now, and I see no end or reason for an end. I'm an aspiring composer/writer from Oulu, Finland, I sing in a band and compose in three.
I'm a pro-friendly being with half a soul and a big enough heart to munch every being on this Earth into a bloody sauce. It means that I love spending time with friends, gaining new friends, interacting with friends online and so forth, I'm sure you get the picture.

I don't have a lot of money since I always spend everything whenever I get any. "It's just money" is a great motto, since it makes it possible to live without money (almost, at least) - and to live without greed.

I think big, I aim big - I aspire to become a musician for life and to make an impact on the cultural history of the world. I don't have what it takes yet, but in a couple decades I'm sure I'll be a whole lot closer.

I constantly think about things, since in my opinion the lack of regular thinking and questioning is the bane of mankind (especially with the older folks). Things like love, music, the world, people and the way they act. After 19 years of thinking I've come to at least one solution: there is no bad music. There is also no "fake art". Also, good manners are good for you. Keep that in mind, kids.

The bigger questions such as the changing climate, religious bullshit etc. are constantly in my mind. I refuse to believe in some of the claims that are going on for the millionth time (about the world coming to an end and all that). I also ponder about whether it'd be possible or not. Not in my lifetime, I'm sure. I sometimes unintentionally include these questions and claims into the lyrics and poems I write, and I might sometimes even succeed in getting the idea through. I don't know.

I don't believe in God(s), but I do believe in science and logic. Mostly logic. As opposed to this, I also am a hopeless romantic (at times, at least). It's controversal, I know, but I should be the only person getting confused about shit like that. :D I have an irrational fear-disorder, that means that I sometimes get afraid of things that ain't really there (mostly at night - it's a bastard when it comes to trying to get some sleep). Some of these situations and things might slip into the songs also, but not intentionally (most of the time, at least). It'd be boring to write the same shit over and over again.

When I write songs, I try to keep them as acoustic and un-emo as possible. :--D Not that I have anything against the emo-culture (or any other cultures at that), but I've always preferred to walk a path of my own instead of reveling in the mainstream of the day. Contrary to this, I love pop-elements and try to keep most of my songs short (three minutes or less), because I believe that the idea comes through better if it is compressed a bit. Like when you send shit over, say, MSN. If the file is big, it'll take time. If it's small or compressed, it'll reach it's destination in a giffy. Most of my influences come from CMX (a finnish... rock[?]-band), the Cardigans, Coldplay, numerous indie-bands and so on. I hope I'll someday have the know-how to add some electronic elements in my music, while at the same time keeping it as acoustic as possible. Anyway.

Special talents: Bliss-Injection, although founded in 2007, is the artist-title for a lifelong list of songs by a person called F. The music has been called many things, such as �pussy-music� or �emo for radio�, but is now referred to as �happy emo� by it�s creator - quite sarcastically, to be fair.

The songs, thus far, have all been recorded as either concept-demos or more advanced demos. It is possible that a �real� album might someday emerge, but it is still uncertain. To this, F has commented �it would be nice, but not mandatory. I like the freedom.�

Bliss-Injection has not played any gigs so far, due to lack of free session-musicians. Despite this, however, it has grown a small base of people who like the music, also freely referred to as �fans�.

The music itself is quite moody, giving more space to vocal-melodies and improvised guitar-patterns than the ordinary rhythm-stunts or arpeggios. Because of this, the music is often referred to as �radio-friendly�, although there are people who claim it to be just the opposite: hard to listen but rewarding nevertheless.

There has been some talk about the vocals either being sung too quietly or being mixed too silent to dominate the songs. This, F says, is a technical thing and will improve as the recordings proceed. So far there are only two named releases, with the latter one completely downloadable online. New songs are added to the �unsorted�-list frequently, although they, to this day, still remain incomplete demos. Only time will show what, if any, potential will be released.
