Where am I? What is Mountview Institution?

Hello! Welcome inside the institution. Before we came around, there was no central location for all things HAKEN related. We've made it our job to fix this problem and create such a place. Here you can find everything in the band's nearly 20-year long history, from 2004 to today!

Frequently Asked Questions


Everything  Haken-related?

Everything! If The band or a band member has played it publicly, we want it here!


Hey, you missed something!

We did? Let us know! (or click the link at the top, if you want.)


Why isn't this a Wiki?

If this were to be a Haken Wiki, it would jeapordise our ability to use sources that are no longer available. I'm sure we'll be open to allowing more site editors in the future.


Hey, you used my image without my permission!

Unfortunately, copyrighted images are necessary for our cause and we dearly apologise. If you would like your image taken down, please let us know and we'll remove it as soon as possible.


Can I use any information I found here for my own purposes?

Sure! If you're gonna use it for anything published, we'd love to know!

(Reference us too, pretty please!)

'We'? Who's 'we'?

Yeah, I lied to you there. I'm a one-woman army working on this site mostly by myself.


Oh... Well, can I support you in any way?

Yes, actually! Mountview Institution is ad-free and independent, as well as a passion project, so all of the funds come out of my own pocket. If you'd like to donate, you can do so here!

If you can't donate for what ever reason, that's fine! All I ask is that you spread the good name of Haken and the Mountview Institution. I do this purely out of a love for the band and their music.


I'd like to thank my friends at Images & Words: the Prog Discord for helping me get this project off the ground!
