About me
Hi! I'm Axel "lapspider45" Hellsten. I'm a composer living in Finland. I make music in a variety of styles, and particularly enjoy video game music. I like strong melodies and experimenting with harmony and groove. My sound is also influenced from years of playing in bands. I've also dabbled in live sound engineering.I'm mainly a guitarist but I also play bass and keys, among other instruments.I frequently participate in game jams, but would like to work on something bigger, like a full game, someday.
