Gargaj...Now You Don'tWinner of the Revision 2022 Executable Music competition; download original version at https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2022/revision22/executable-music/gargaj_-_now_you_dont.zip
This was a massive struggle due to, well, 2 years of pandemic fatigue and general lack of inspiration, energy, etc., and initially I threw this track out because I didn't think it worked - turns out it just needed a bit of force. Not 100% happy with the mix but I think it turned out pretty cool.

Original tracks!a(drill)Soundtrack for the Function 2021 winner demo "cöncept": https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=89840 - originally a 12ch tracked XM.
So this was a tough one to work on; I really wanted something era-appropriate for a DOS demo, and just finding what the right tone was, what the right sound was, and then what the right chord progressions were was so hard that it was probably the only time that the visuals caught up to the unfinished music.
In the end though, I'm 99% happy with it and it was nice to wiggle the tracking muscles a bit.

I've been approached for this through a mutual friend; the brief was to score an animation with electronic music that accompanies schizophrenia and hallucinations - after some discussion I decided to go to a more demoish beat-driven rather than a strictly cinematic approach.

GargajcolorStar - Falling (Gargaj remix)The remix that won the colorStar remix contest in early 2011, and was subsequently released on the remix CD "Komplementer".
Still one of my favorite pieces I've done; as usual a bunch of stories with this one too. I think I was very lucky in many ways when this came about: some people went as far as predicting that this would open a new career for me, but life just went on I suppose. (Not that I'm complaining.)
Note: this is not the exact same as the album version, which was re-mastered - this is the original mix/master.
