Various musical delights
Here’s an update on my journey in composing electronic music: a selection of songs from the last couple of months… Now, watch me struggle trying to describe the songs and genres!

I Want the Sun Back
Let’s start it off easy with some pretty gloomy and dark ambient.

Slim Mind
It starts out as drum and bass but then starts drifting in another direction. That seems to be pretty common for me when I try to do drum&bass. Jyri U. recorded a few guitar things for this to beef up the background near the end.

Acid Rock
I started working on a remix of a silly old Belgian techno song but it ended up pretty damn far away from the original. But I don’t mind that at all. Psytrance.

Genera
Experimenting with a little bit more laid back and progressive sort of sound.

Dark Deeds
Another experiment in the progressive and deep side of psy. I feel I have committed something unholy by using a dubstep wobble bass sound in a trancey tune.

Breaking of symmetry
This is dubstep, I suppose.

Phew. That’s 43 minutes of music right there! Come to think of it, I could’ve turned this into a nicer package; a digital LP with cover graphics and some more polishing, mixing and coherent mastering… Well, maybe later. If you want all the songs, here’s a ZIP package with the MP3s above!

Awesome sounds. As with the guy above, I found this through the Almost Human website for Legend of Grimrock. Really, really dig Dark Deeds. I’m gonna be scouring your blog for more tunes. :)
