Representing the sounds, identities and projects connected to Tornevall Networks.
Tornevall Networks Sonic Syndicate is not just about music. The Syndicate is the music-facing part of Tornevall Networks, while Tornevall Networks itself is a one-man circus covering music, technology, online services, community projects, satire, archives and assorted experiments.
That one person appears under several names, artist identities, brands, Facebook Pages and project profiles, depending on what is being represented. This page collects them in one place so that you do not have to work out whether Tornevall, Rhythm Shifter, The Houseifyer, MC Criesalot and the person running a DNS blacklist are actually the same individual.
They are.
Some names represent musical genres. Some belong to technical services, communities or satirical projects. Others are older identities preserved as part of the network’s history. The number of names may suggest a moderately staffed organisation.
It is still mostly one person trying to remember all the passwords.

The music-related identities form the main part of Tornevall Networks Sonic Syndicate. The remaining entries are included because they belong to the same wider network and are frequently confused with one another.
The musical part of the network
Tornevall Networks Sonic Syndicate acts as an umbrella for the musical identities connected to Tornevall Networks.
The different names make it possible to separate genres, concepts and audiences without forcing every release into the same artist catalogue. House music can remain with The Houseifyer, drum and bass can remain with Rhythm Shifter, and hip-hop, grime or drill-oriented material can remain with MC Criesalot.
Tornevalls Neural Ensemble is used for productions in which artificial intelligence has played a substantial creative role. The MINT Experiment, Wokephobia, The Tinfoil Hats and Sound Alchemist provide room for experimental, thematic or concept-driven releases.
TMM remains available as part of the older catalogue and the history that eventually led to the current network of artists and projects.
Tornevall is the main public artist and DJ identity, while Tornevall Networks Sonic Syndicate connects the wider catalogue.
Some projects are continuously active. Others appear when a release, concept or genre needs them. Older projects remain listed when they still form part of the network’s history.
New names may appear whenever another track refuses to fit anywhere sensible.
