My nick was originally a nom de plume as producer for an experimental single in the 80s that I made with a very well-known band in Finland who also wanted to hide behind the name ArtPop Kombo. I have used several aliases in the music business - Roland Butter was another favourite. And I'm known to the general public by another alias, rather than my real name. It is the Reg Dwight syndrome.

Then in the early 90s I used the Triloqvist nick again as a main character in the Bonk Business Inc. saga - as Senior Vice President of the ADS (Advanced Disinformation Systems) division of BBI. Gradually the character became my alter ego and much of what I wrote as his words were really an excuse to write concepts for which I had no other outlet. I then began to appear in seminars and conferences under that name (and still do). It allowed me to say things that my more sober clients might feel were dangerously subversive ;-)

You can't be me, I'm taken
