T.o.B
Iisalmi.
Member since 1992.
Musician and Hitman.
Tobbana is das cool man who is Byterapers' house-musician, but unfortunately his musical tastes are quite far from demostyle so we much usually look elsewhere for music in our demos. Being both computer- and real musician, playing bass, guitar, keyboard and doing singing too, he does gigs and sometimes has a Byterapers-crowd shoting "TOBBANA! TOBBANA! TOBBANA! TOBBANA!". Once we didn't even know the band's name, and it was raining heavier than ever during that summer, but there we were, throwing out T.o.B FunClub -flags!
ToBbAnA and own words: "Holy smoke, gimme smoke. As you can read ahead, I really am a father of quite pretty girl, and I'm proud of it, who wouldn't. So that's all about girl.
Next case is my band(s). At the moment I have just one band called WANDA, and we're going to release our first single or EP. It'll be out later march, and we hope you like and buy it."
Another T.o.B introduction: T.o.B is the house-musician of Byterapers, though his musical style is unfortunately rather less demostylish and therefore he isn't used much in (B) demoproduction.
He is the second Byteraper who started continuing his family with the birth of his daughter Niina-Maaria in spring 1996. Actually very unexpected family-happening, since T.o.B heard of the birthing just 2 weeks before - and since child was born a week early, he had just one week pre-warning of fatherhood. Her birth was celebrated with very boozy evening and night with Grendel, who was asked to be the godfather.
T.o.B is a real-life musician as well, and has played on numerous bands and tries very hard to create a professional career. So far his true career is unfounded, and he continues the seeking of good band-fellows who are really interested in music and can do some serious playing. While being primarily a bass-player, he can do some pretty good magic over keyboards, few bits with guitar and a lot of good, rough-voiced singing.
As a member of Byterapers Boozers Club, T.o.B has been invaluable. His abilities in boozing are top quality, like a real Byteraper should have.
T.O.B also carries the official Black Coated Raper -label, dressing in long black coat, as well as having a long hair, striking terror into old people's hearts while strolling around the streets.
He has been a (B) member since summer 1992 and started making computer music on a Amiga 500. During 1995 he upgraded into a PC, and nowadays is equipped with a SB AWE32 with Korg-midi-synthetizers. His computer musics are primarily differently styled rock'n'roll-stuff, with a number of pieces easily classified as folk-songs, humorous lallallaas and wierdos.
T.O.B is known in limited circles, and probably not abroad. His musicstyle is not 'popular' which would win awards and votes, and perhaps his limited fame is gained as well from boozing in parties as from actual music.
