Markus Castrén

Markus Castrén is a composer who was employed as a trainee at Nokia during 2002. Along with Jussi Salonen, he worked on ringtones for the Nokia N-Gage and other phones using the Mango soundbank, such as the Nokia 3300 and 7600. He also composed a handful of monophonic ringtones. After both him and Salonen left, three composers joined very shortly afterwards: Aleksi Eeben, Hannu af Ursin and Henry Daw. Upon joining Nokia, he replaced Timo Anttila, who was employed for a year and was a friend from school.

Outside of Nokia, he was a demoscene musician known as Slice, Mark 1 and later Ganja and was part of the Amiga demo group Nerve Axis. Following his employment at Nokia he continued his studies at school, then became a DVD author. He also composed music for a handful of local Finnish commercials as well as sending demos to record labels, and has not been active in the field of music since the mid-2000s.
