It was inspired by a dream I had many years ago. It's supposed to be spelled "cube" (it does sound like that in my native language). There was a big floating cube in my dream, like a floating balloon that was advertising something. It looked similar to this (it was tied down with strings like that and I was holding one of them), but it had a normal cube shape and it was white, blue, and red I think. The part that I liked about the dream was the sense of scale, it was floating like a hundred meters in the air and it was pretty big.

Ryba is my nickname, it comes from my real last name.
Everybody calls me Ryba everyday, boss, co-workers, friends, girlfriend.
Only my parents and grandparents calls me my first name.
Ryba means Fish in my language.

I have really bad gas, so I called myself "Toxic Gasser"
I later joined a gaming group with the tag "dr" so my named was changed to Dr. Toxic
Later on my friends shortened it to "Doxic".

I first started making music under the name of "On A Wednesday Afternoon" because I wasn't serious about making anything and I just wanted to get a feel for things [wasn't too sure if I wanted to make music yet]
after fooling around with FamiTracker for a few months I decided I wanted a serious name and project
I asked around for what else I could use for making chiptune, then A, B, Up, Start! suggested getting LSDJ to play music on a gameboy
once I got a feel for that, I decided to think up a name but my creativity comes and goes. So one day I was just trying to make an account for some game but I couldn't think of a username so I did a random suggestion and that was "Power Ghost" I liked the sound of it and after thinking for about another month I decided that'd be it. I just hate making capital "G"s so I took away the space and decided it looked pretty good as Powerghost [if you saw my handwriting, you'd see that I like lowercase letters]
but I think the main reason powerghost had a nice ring to me is because it's short and I've been interested in ghosts for quite a while now

I just thought of the lamest name I could think of....
I also wanted to make fun of the "three word name"-cliche that was prominent for hardcore bands in my hometown.
Of course this was back in 2008

It's short for super user, thus why I call myself super (when I'm talking in the third person).
I chose it because I crave power over everything.
