Rosewind: my wife's middle name is Rosen + my last name is Wind. My children are named Rosen Wind and that is roughly the Danish equivalent of Rosewind. I haven't gotten around to use Rosen as my middle name. I may still do that.

So, Filterlab then.
Well, when I started composing professionally back in the mid-90s I was using a Yamaha SY-85 workstation primarily (and a lot of other bits and bobs besides); I tended to shape each patch (instrument) using the vast array of onboard filters, one of which converted key velocity into a filter envelope (I believe it was either cut-off or resonance) rather than volume - i.e. the harder the key is hit, the wider the envelope. With progressively increased key striking the effect of an opening and closing filter could be played directly in rather than sequencing the effect (slow).
A composing mate of mine one day mentioned that it was like I had my own laboratory for filters. I became Filterlab and I've stuck with it widely since.
My old website is still live in fact: www.filterlab.co.uk
The acronym is actually a backronym, which I came up with whilst drunk and playing scrabble one evening on a 'music composition with a mate week-long holiday in a cottage'.

Hi All
I guess it is pretty obvious in the past Naim Amps/Preamps and Linn Speakers/LP12. All Linn at the moment (could change it has many times in the past) should really change it to LinnLinn.
LoneStar - one of the best restaurants in Barbados
FoH - Acronym for - front of house.
Not the restaurant kind but the amplified concert kind - my occupation.
I'm FastFred on other forums cos I race motorbikes, a name given to me by others. Used to have a Bultaco trials bike :)
Some boys at my primary school used Goofy as a nickname for me.
No hard feelings anymore.
losepete is a shortened version of loserpete - my old "legal" Hells Angel name.
Why did it get shortened? - My first ISP had an 8 character limit for a username so, needing a username quickly during setup I just dropped the "r" and 24 years on still using that username although ISP has changed a few times.
Onespeed comes from riding single speed mountain bikes in the alps in France when one of the locals said 'why is this one speed?'
