Ari Pulkkinen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ari "artz" Pulkkinen is a Finnish musician with a background in the tracker music demoscene. He won many music competetitions and made his first big public album to accompany a freeware game named "StarFight VI: Gatekeepers" in 1999.

His production, for Frozenbyte, of the soundtrack for the computer game Shadowgrounds generated wide-ranging interest and was released separately as an unusual Finnish commercial soundtrack.

Lordi's guitarist Jussi Sydänmaa worked with Ari to create guitar riffs for the Shadowgrounds soundtrack.
