This is assorted stuff written and recorded at various times in my life. All of them are created on some kind of sequencer, some of them are good, some of them... Well. You decide. I've tried to write a list of the gear used for each song, but I'm not sure if I've got it right. It's a long time (and a lousy memory).
Novice | 3:27 3.9 Mbyte | This is the first song I ever
wrote on a sequencer, which probably dates it back in 1988-89
somewhere. I took one of the 2 demosongs I got with the S-50, scrapped
the song data and wrote this song with the same samples setup. It's
not really THAT good, but I figured I could as well mpeg it just
because it's THE first (if you don't count what I once composed in
front of the piano, scribbling down on notepaper).
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) Pretty short list, eh? |
Why not Estockholmo | 6:03 9.8 Mbyte | Also
written in the late 80's, the whole thing just kinda evolved when I
was sitting in front of my gear, messing around with factory-samples
for the S-50 and some CD's with what I thought was cool sounds. It was
meant to be silly, and, well...
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) · Roland D-50 (piano, brass and other stuff) |
Computer dreams | 4:59 7.9 Mbyte | Written
somewhere between 1988-90, this is probably one of my first songs that
I still like. The goal was to create something surrealistic and to not
use any drums. It kinda worked, if I might say so myself.
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) · Yamaha TX81Z (all those fun hissing and drippling noises) · Kawai K3m (base) · Roland D-50 (I think, not sure what role if so) |
Citymountain | 3:18 5.4 Mbyte | Yet another early song dated
around -90 or so. Rather traditional 4/4-discobeat, however I'm pretty
heavy with the pitchbend. Too bad I manage to pitch the vocoderchoir
completely out of tune. Oh well...
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) And probably some others too, however I don't remember (or recognize) them |
Jul-Qul | 2:10 4.0 Mbyte | Quite horrible murder on a
handful of traditional christmas songs written somewhere around 1990.
I don't remember why I did it, more than because it was fun and that
it probably annoyed someone...
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) · Roland D-50 |
Chinese torture | 4:46 3.3 Mbyte | Some kind of
crash-course between Computer dreams and Citymountain. Pretty good,
except that I really don't know (knew?) how to do really good sounding
drums...
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) · Roland D-50 · Yamaha TX81Z · Kawai K3m (mostly noise) |
Menuet in C-minor | 3:07 4.0 Mbyte | Written in
February -92 and rather influenced by a short, but intense, classic
period in my life, here is a short little piece for a quartet
containing one oboe, one basoon and two clarinets.
Unfortunately I managed to distort the recording badly. I'll do a new mp3. Someday. Gear used: · Roland S-50 (that's it) |
House party | 3:54 7.6 Mbyte | A friend of mine was throwing
this party and thought the party needed its own song and asked me to
help him (I was, of course, invited). So, I made the music and played
and he made the lyrics and sang. I'm not quite sure how it happened,
but it became the most played song during that evening and I got quite
fed-up with it...
Gear used: · Roland S-50 (sampled sounds and sequenzer) · Roland D-50 · Alesis drum-machine |
