harlequins enigma was founded in 2008 by owner åge riisnes. the harlequins enigma name is based upon the words expectation as in dolls, their origin, & the origin vs real people. i once had a lighter with a girl on, showing a little of her face with a yellow rose & two identical females as guardians at each side of her. in the picture also a walking creature that looks like a walking mouse, pregnant. this is part of what harlequins enigma is about: expectation. we value hope for something better, as an eternal flame. there is also a different side of harlequins enigma which i found as an alternative in the oxford dictionary, where harlqeuins enigma could be a demon rider. thinking of that we wonder if that might be an ancient being that might be the boss of our universe.åge is agnostic, human rights focused, romantic, anti jante law directed, value equality, support positive technolgy, reverse supporter of forced schizofrenia politics, Buddhist/nature interested & definetely not christian (ever). what i think is unique about my music is that in my roots i was self learned from scratch using trackers. it sounded horrible in the beginning. i started in 1991 & my basic skills gave birth in 1992 without any fear of anxiety for listeners to a couple of tracks called contrary by nature, sake for two & sorceress that i like. i owned & played synth boards in the 90`s. nowadays it is fl studio that has dominated my musical world. i sort of treated it like protracker & have a nice feel on the pc keyboard, which makes me able to push the buttons without looking at the keys almost. at the same time my ear is sharp & piano roll in fl studio is like a nice game of tetris. my scales & experience got even sharper in 2009 as i went back to the amiga & composed tracks there. when i came back to fl studio again, i felt i had become a better musician, though i`d prefer to be called a composer. i forget so easily & have become clumsy at times when i try to recall a line, so i don`t perform much. it is easier to do an impulse line of tetris instead. :)
