			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trine OST was recently revealed officially and there has been some writings about the price. It is unfortunate that some products are priced wrong, or seem to be too expensive for their value. With Trine it all begun with the pricing of the game itself &#8211; it was certainly not mine or Frozenbyte&#8217;s doings. I think the &#8220;huge mess&#8221; that it had created have now followed the price of OST.</p>
<p>As for the Trine Soundtrack, I am sorry if it seems to cost too much. I did so much extra work with this title, umm, like a month? Lets face it &#8211; Trine Soundtrack is over 70 minutes long with the bonus tracks (that&#8217;ll be available shortly for owners of the OST!), and it&#8217;s available in HQ MP3 and even <strong>lossless </strong>FLAC format! The pricing is still below soundtrack average.</p>
<p>And where all the money goes? I was aiming for a Ferrari (not)&#8230; I cannot go into the small details of my contract but let&#8217;s say that I&#8217;m hoping that the sales coverage my expences and time spent with Trine. I think I&#8217;d be happy to get new music work station that would help me to create even better music &#8211; let&#8217;s say, if there would be &#8216;Trine 2&#8242; on the horizon.. you never know.</p>
<p>Those who have and those who will purchase the soundtrack &#8211; I thank all of you! Those who won&#8217;t be getting it, I thank you for the interest and praises you have given in the forums and such!</p>
<p>edit: oh, to my fans at $ country, I didn&#8217;t realize dollars were so crappy against euros right now. Please US, stop printing more cash <img src='http://www.aripulkkinen.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s need for more complex emotions in games. There&#8217;s need for mature game design. There&#8217;s need for emotions that covers the full spectrum of human life &#8211; not just hate, agression, stress and conquest.</p>
<p>I like scores bigger than life and deeper than death, but there&#8217;s need for emotions that stand in the middle. In a certain point in life there are holes in our souls that need to be filled and music is sometimes the only way. I think the game industry and the gamers themself have grown to accept that you can expect more from games – if you can experience beautiful and memorable moments in a movie, why not in a game that is <strong>in your control</strong> to see and listen.</p>
<p>My goal is to make music that not only fits in the background but brings soul and gives all the needed emotional spectrums, and to invent something new with the advantages of unique dynamic environments in the  interactive media.  I like to call this concept as &#8220;The soundtrack of your life&#8221;.</p>
<p>What soundtrack has influenced your life the most, and why?</p>
