This is a one-page overview of some of the tracks that I made before the re-launch of the website and that I still consider worthy of sharing with the public.
Bleeptrack(2007)
Track done for the Tinymusic-Competition at the Evoke 2007 where it made 3rd place.
Nice little track combining C64-style-arpeggios with elements of Electro and Minimal.
The RNS File is 57kbyte zipped and uses only the internal effects of Renoise (not Reason). If you don’t know what I am talking about, doesn’t matter.

Exospect (2007)
Finally a new work for the “scene”. Pandur sent a mail asking me if I had time to do a music for his new demo, I had and came up with this nice little demo-style break track. It’s worth to note that the name for the demo and the music was generated with a script from the internet.

Zimmer (2006)
The track itself was merely a test of how well 80s synths and overdrive-tube-compressor-VSTs go together and the name is actually the best explanation for it: “zimmer” is short for “zimmermann”, which is the german translation of “carpenter”, and if you add a “john” in front of that you should get the idea. If not fire up IMDB.

This track was later used in the movie-trailer for “Der schwarze Nazi” from Cinema Abstruso, a local group of people doing independent movies. The Trailer itself might be offensive, especially to people not able to understand german language.
Let me assure you that this is no “Nazi-Shit”, the movie is a grotesque story about an african man who is so frightened by the presence of Nazis in his hometown that he joins their ranks to be safe from them.

Boombox (2006)
Track done for the Evoke 2006 where it made place#2 in the Tinymusic-Competition.
Again it’s a RNS File, 49kbyte zipped, that uses only the internal effects of Renoise (not Reason). If you don’t know what I am talking about, doesn’t matter.

Stolper (2006)
Just seven minutes of skippy, glitchy electro. It’s interesting to note that almost everything you hear are effects based on the drums. The entire tune consists of three tracks for drums,the bass and the atmo-loop, the rest you hear are seven fx-tracks which have the drums fed into them.

Minitech (2006)
After I did the Remix for Vitaxin I tried to do some 4/4 minimalism on my own, which was a relaxing break because I haven’t done any serious 4/4 stuff for some years now, only broken beats in all different styles and speeds.
The track is way over the top however, with a 2-minute break and lots of other cheesy stuff, but its still a nice little tune.

Minimalbeat (2006)
Basically this was just a small test-track for my self-written Bass-Synthesizer in Reaktor (a project that is still running) and was not even meant to be something fancy. But for some reason quite a lot of people got totally hooked on that track. I dunno why, as I said it was never meant to “be” anything.

Cruise (2005)
Track done for the Tinymusic-Compo at the Evoke 2005, together with “Pinocchio” where it made 3rd place.
Its a RNS File, 64kbyte zipped, that uses only the internal effects of Renoise (not Reason). If you don’t know what I am talking about, doesn’t matter. Basically I did the instruments and Pinocchio did the tune. Its actually quite good for a 64k chiptune and a nice showcase for Renoise.

Fernsehen macht schön (2004+2005)
“Fernsehen macht schön” was a local festival for short movies.
They asked me first in 2004 to make a music for their DVD-Credits-Scroller and in 2005 a complete package of music for the DVD and the festival itself.
2004 the theme was “boxers”, its was based on some scenes from a Bogart movie where in the end one boxer knocks another out. The song was actually one of the first completely self-composed songs I ever made, no sample used at all, just a shitload of soundfonts.
I later contributed it to the OGG-Competition at the Evoke 2006 and made 6th place, which is a huge success for such a track at such an event.

In 2005 the theme was “TV-Sets on fire” and because I had more time I actually could do a real theme with several variations.
It’s a dub-influenced theme based on samples of one of the weed/redwine-influenced recording sessions of the “Dopefreaks”, some friends of mine named Bushdoc and John (who is too much of an offline person to have a proper nickname.)

Piaf (2004)
A track done in a few days for something like a “competition”.
At the “Elektrorevue“-Livegig I played every artist got 10 very short samples from Edith Piaf and had to do a track, after fiddling around for two days without success I just did a standard, nice downtempo track in a few hours.
This is the live-version that I recorded while being on stage, there is a little drop-out in the first 20 seconds where I actually fucked up.

Polish (2004)
A track done as comment to “Skalpels” success. If you don’t know, Skalpel are some polish dudes who got signed by Ninja Tune, and to be honest, they suck.
What they do is basically rearranging/brushing-up polish jazz-tracks, there is nearly no value in terms of producing or original creation in their music. The reason they can get away with this is mainly because no one outside poland knows these artists, but because I am actually a eastern-jazz buff and know a lot of the original tracks they sampled (from Kurylewicz, Sztanko and other musicians from Poland) I was very disappointed and I sincerely hope they are paying a proper share of royalties (=money) to the original artists.
This track is my idea on how to sample these musicians and create something new. And to prove my point in the other direction it also features the longest sample I ever used, 2:10 minutes.

Hammond (2004)
Most stupid name ever, has nothing to do with the song itself.
This started as some little test-project that turned out pretty well. I tried to fake chord progressions with pitchshifting the same little loop, I did do my own drumloop, chopped it up and used it as I would use any drumloop and finally it was a test for the capabilities of Trilogy. Nice little downtempo track however.

Pacemaker (2004)
Based on samples from a Lupin the 3rd movie from the 70s (the real strange one, where for example he meets Hitler in hell) and basically a little technical exercise about how much groove/drunken beats you can get out of Renoise. This track was never finished because it kinda slipped out of my hands, most of the samples are very noisy and after a while the track became an uncontrollable sonical mess, but I like it anyway.

Wanted (2002) and Wanted (Loozas TSF Remix) (2003)
“Wanted” was about the last track that I did in Madtracker 2. Its based on a sample from the anime-series “Trigun” and its about as much minimal hiphop as I can get. (This track was also released at some Demoparty as “Cup of Tea”, where it failed miserably.)

A year later I remixed this track in Renoise, including total dub-delay madness and samples from the debut-record of a german jazz-musician that I can’t reveal if I don’t want to get my head ripped off. The “TSF” means “Time Space Folding” or “Total Stoned Frickeln”. (yeah, its about weed.)

Noddin (Revisit Remix) (2003)
The first finished Track I did in Renoise and also the beginning of a new era. When I started with Renoise I got instantly hooked by the possibilities that VST-Effects offered. To that point I had made mostly sample-based Music in Madtracker and Sounddesign in Audiomulch, but with Renoise I could actually do both together.
So one of the first tracks was this one, a remix of an old Standard-HipHop-Beat of mine with heavy use of effects and modulated sounds.

Nightmare in Blue (1999)
Quite another frontier-track of mine. Back then people were shocked that someone would release an 12mb-MP3 file since no one had a broadband connection and it was expensive to download stuff from the net, so alot of people passed on this.
It was an attempt to get my Looza and Unterdruck projects together and it worked quite well I guess.
Speech Sample is from the “Batman”-Cartoon-Series, the Choirs were ripped out of an old RPG-Game called Silver.

Linking Worlds (1997)
This was really the first track that I worked on for more than 3 days (actually 6 months). I had a pretty good concept about what I wanted to do and got quite far with this one when I had a harddisk crash which killed most of my data, including most tracks I had done to that day.
The only thing that was left of this track was a .wav file that I had rendered a few days before the crash. So I couldn’t work on this track any longer, I just mp3ed it and send it around until Acrid sent it to Prymer who in term released it on Tokyodawn.
The track was done in Fasttracker2, which is quite amazing for me now, but I went through a lot of trouble to make it happen, for example the echoes were done in cooledit and then loaded as huge samples into FT2. Also contains a very fine amen-diss.
The whole instrumental part is based on a track by a russian Jazz-Band called “Dielo”, I featured this track in my first “Eastern Jazz”-Mixset, so grab that one if you want to listen to the original.
