Jonne Valtonen
Jonne Valtonen, a.k.a.
Purple Motion, was the lead
composer for
Future Crew, one of the most widely popular
demo group of the
1990s. He won multiple awards, most notably at Finnish demo-party Assembly, for his work throughout the
demoscene. Some of his best known
MOD tracks are UnreaL II (
Second Reality), Satellite One, and Starshine. He, like the other members of Future Crew, is from
Finland and was born in
1976. He selected the
pseudonym "Purple Motion" because he was a fan of British rock group
Deep Purple and thought it would sound good combined with "motion".
After Future Crew disbanded in the mid-90s, Valtonen continued to compose songs, doing some commission work for
computer and video games, and wrote the
scores for several stage plays. In
2004 he released his first professionally mastered audio CD, titled
Musicdisk. In
2005 and
2006 he arranged and orchestrated music for the world tour
Play! A Video Game Symphony.
His track,
Second Reality part 2 is in the top ten charts on
Nectarine, the demoscene music
radio station. Similarly, the Commodore 64 remake version by artist kb of
Farbrausch and Smash Designs is among the highest rated songs on Nectarine. [
