As I was going through some of the music I’ve been writing for Star Sonata recently, I began to remember the times I had playing with an old friend of mine, who sadly passed away years ago. Christian Larsson Boysen was not just my friend, he was one of my best friends. He helped me through the worst times in my life. I fondly remember the times we had playing Star Sonata together. He was there for me when I split up with my first two girlfriends, and he was always very supportive.
Few people in this world have I bared my soul to more than him, and fewer would have had the brazen courage to make light of everything in such a way that it took some of the pain away. I knew him as SharkTooth, one of the scourges of deep space in game. Like me he was an intergalactic troll of the highest magnitude, fast of wit and as solid a person to me as the people I knew in the real world, he was without doubt one of the finest people this world had to offer.
I have, as time has gone on, thought back to the times we have shared together, and I’ve talked with many players his life impacted. Each one shares fond memories of him, and he was well loved in our community. SharkTooth had a great sense of humour and loved the never-ending drama in the game. If he wasn’t watching gleefully from the sidelines, he was part of it.
I will always remember him flying round in his Porpoise pretending to be better than me, and those memories will last forever.
