I don't really know how to make music, but I like to.. I don't know what the word for music is, but let's say doodle.

It's very confusing to me when composer friends of mine start talking about notes and whatnot, as I have to admit that I don't know any of that stuff. Would like to learn, but who has the time.. =)

On this page you can find some of my.. doodlings. The quality of these is all over the place.

lament241024.ogg

reface dx loop plus live playing

circuit230324.ogg

Random circuit tracks loop.

circuit021123.ogg

Got circuit tracks, this loop is the first thing that I've made on it that doesn't sound like utter garbage.

ditty281021.ogg

Keystep37 sequencer plus live playing.

dloop.ogg

The melody I jammed earlier, but due to its nontrivial rythm I couldn't simply step sequence it. I loaded one simple (but boring) 120bpm drum loop from NI komplete, and then played it live on top of that, slowly, to keep in the rythm of the beat. Then I sped up the melody 2x, which still works with the beat, and replaced the beat with another, more interesting 120bpm drum loop. Added a bass line, little bit of filters (but trying not to overdo it again), and there we go. Rendered with reaper with a 1 second tail, and mixed that tail back to the start in audacity for a perfect loop.

ditty421021.ogg

Started off with keystep37 sequencer plus live playing, split bass/sequence to different instruments, added and modified NI studio drummer phrase, and went totally nuts with filters.

kalimba_01.ogg

Proof that I could get something recognizable out of my kalimba.

taat2021_fullmix.ogg

The full mix of the tAAt 2021 new year demo. The demo itself mixes various layers for a crazy long runtime.

Experiment using a cheap midi drum kit.

meep_overrun_by_filtertruck_mix.ogg

An experiment with guitar rig filters.

spacehulk.ogg

A quick experiment I did after getting my hands on komplete. Recorded directly to audacity from massive.

peacefulorbit.ogg

A slightly less quick experiment, combining massive with a guitar rig filter. I wish reaper had an option to render-as-loopable but that doesn't seem to be the case..

frist.ogg

This was the first experiment I did with renoise.

secund.ogg

Another renoise experiment.

ambients.ogg

Done with ableton live lite for a ludum dare game. I snipped several samples from this and played them randomly to make a more or less infinite soundtrack.

fmditty.ogg

A NI reaktor player experiment, tied two instruments (a fm sequence and a drum kit) to the same midi input; the whole "song" is just one keypress.

tollbell.ogg

another renoise experiment.

arabiscuit.ogg

another renoise experiment.
