----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEATBEAT - Aleksi Eeben, formerly known as Antti A. Mikkonen.
He was born 1976 in kajaani as a first born in the family.
Later two sisters and a brother, who is actually continuing Aleksi's
module musician career, followed.
He got his first computer, VIC-20 somewhere in the early 80's.
Then he moved to c-64, and started to code. He cracked some games
and formed few groups. Later on he started to compose a lot on
ubix music, and made few music-disks, and demos for c-64, last one on
'89 under the name Heatbeat as he moved to compose with his friends
amiga and sound FXs.
With this friend, he formed his first Amiga-group, "bit box boys", and
they released 3 music-disks. Unfortunately the first one has lost
forever, but the modules from the second and the thirth are included
in this module-collection. "mod.guitarz" is one of the very first,
so you can hear that he was a real talent from the very beginning :).
>From B.B.B. he moved via many small not known groups to sector 4, and
from there to Byterapers, in which he entered his first computer party
in Iisalmi, when Grendel, the leader of the Byterapers talked Heatbeat's
parent's over to let him go for a "sleep over".
>From Byterapers he joined Rebels, in which his career made a huge
rise, when more people got to hear his excellent music in Rebel's
products. Due to personal problems, he left rebels with Dweezil
(darkroom, bananamen .etc) to form they're own group Carillon
(NOT Carillion, or anything else. Lot's of mags and charts spelled
this one wrong :). From there they joined forces with some friends, and
CNCD was born.
Heatbeat sold his A500 away in the late '93, but continued some activities
with his little brothers machine. With the money and some that he got
some game project's he was involved in, he bought a 4-track tape-machine,
Roland Juno-106 synth, Yamaha drum-machine and a 4-string bass-guitar.
In few months he realized the limitations of these, and sold everything
away except the bass-guitar.
>From then he started to study contemporary music-theory, scales, chords
and frequencies and started really to rehearsal bassplaying.
He also helped to build up CNCD's own "Rowboat-studio" in Kajaani,
where he has continued his musical career with 'real' intruments,
synths and samplers. Some of the results can be heard on CD's released
under the name CNCD.
In 1994 he joined the army as a early volynteer. After 8 months he
came back, with medium rated soldier-papers. :)
In 1995 he moved away from his parent's place to a small flat
in the Kajaani-city centrum. He changed his bass to 6-string,
changed his name from Antti Mikkonen to Aleksi Eeben, made his
eye-glasses dark and got a drivers lisence.
At the moment he's unemployed, happy playing the bass, studying musical
theory and living on social security.
He propably won't reply if you don't send him money, but still the
best way to reach him is thru CNCD's mailbox:
CNCD Koivukatu 8 FIN-87150 Kajaani, Finland email: prime@iwn.fi
I asked if he had any comments about his own music, Heatbeat just said:
"I just proved how bad the others really are".
