Kristian "Santtu" Wrang

I got interested in playing piano when I was 4 years old. My greatest inspirer was my sister who played at home almost every day. Today she is a college graduate musician. Before I learned to write I learned to play simple melodies just by listening to them. When I went to school I started playing regularly. Since then I have been developing my skills whenever possible.

I have played the keyboards in a rock band for a couple of times though they originally needed a keyboardist at one gig. In addition to the Scythe of Orion I am still playing regularly in a band called INRI which represents progressive hard rock gospel as well as in a band called Charis.

In spring 2006 I joined the Scythe after I had heard from Jannu, the drummer, that they were looking for a keyboard player. Jannu is one of my band mates also in Charis.

I have several musical inspirers like Vangelis and Jean-Michel Jarre from the industrial side, Eternal Tears of Sorrow and Dream Theater from the heavier side and Jordan Rudess from performing artists as well as Chick Corea who represents not so heavy music.
