- Hannu Puttonen, the director of The Code, on the soundtrack album:
”This soundtrack album ’Music From The Code’ is a vital part of the whole DVD package. It was compiled by Pertti Grönholm, who wrote the score for the film. While editing the film, we used
much less music in the end than we originally thought. Then, in December 2001, we released a three song EP called Ballad of Linus Torvalds, by the band called Kernel on the Stupido Twins label… It even sold some
copies. Because there were a lot of unused music and ideas for new tracks too, we thought it was only natural to continue the artistic life of the incomparable within the film, and with a musical re-mix of the
subject.”
“Pertti Grönholm (Corporate 09, Dystopia, Kytkös) compiled the album, wrote most of the music, and handled most of the production job as well. He juxtaposed verbal fragments from Linus
Torvalds, Richard Stallman and Eric Raymond. All three are rhetorically talented and born to visit on spoken word tracks. Stallman´s classic anthem Free Software Song found a new musical form during the process.”
“Tuomo Puranen (ex-Op:l Bastards) and Brandi Ifgray (Shadowplay) wrote music for three songs, while Brandi also offered his loureedish vocal output on those tracks. The critically acclaimed
Scottish-cosmopolitan songwriter Momus alias Nicholas Currie wrote lyrics for Ballad of Linus Torvalds, in the individual style he has mastered on his own records since 1985. The Finnish poet Jöns Hallanaho
wrote lyrics on the mental landscape of the Silicon Valley, which are heard on both Southbound Vertigo Parkway and Ghost of the Valley.”
“The motion graphics designer for The Code, Otso Pakarinen (Ozone Player), is one of the Finnish pioneers of computer-based music, and has commented the age of the computer culture on his
records. It was more than suitable to ask him to add his contribution to this record.”
“The result is a versatile soundtrack album. As it should be. The whole free software / open source movement is a colourful, debating and competing tribe, consisting of many hacker
generations. We hope this record makes some justice to all of this.”
