I was only able to write the music as midi music as it had to be compatible with as many versions of the game as possible. This means that all the modern tools I was used to were unavailable, so it was a very interesting challenge.

The Need For Lightspeed (November 2014) was monumental for me in the way that it was one of the first tracks where I felt like I wasn’t just fooling around and it actually sounded like music. I remember feeling very proud of myself.

Bit Slapped (December 2014) was the first track anyone I knew would keep talking about. A friend mentioned it very frequently which made me happy. At the time of making it I remember trying to grasp what chord progressions were and the track was my playground for that attempt. I wanted to write something that was friendly to the ears and somehow the track ended up reminding me of the 1950s and especially the movie Back To The Future. So I rolled with it and did a guitar solo type of thing in the chorus. To be honest I wasn’t sure back then why the track seemed to work better than others but listening to it now I feel like I could probably explain why.

The Sculptor – by the time 2016 rolled around I was wanting to try and write lyrics. I’d researched how you could go about it and one of the things I remember thinking about was how art needs to be personal and relatable to touch people. For that reason I wrote a song inspired by things I was going through at the time. The theme was how much you can accomplish by working on yourself. At the same time I continued working with composition. The result was that, while on a roadtrip around Eastern Europe, my friends kept asking me to put this song on and it basically became the whole trips theme song. It felt like a massive step in the right direction for me.

Synthwave track “The Method” pays homage to the scientific method with catchy synth leads and vocal chorus reciting its steps. It emphasizes the importance of the scientific process.

This was a track that had to go through several iterations. I had the main idea a few years ago and kept trying to write the track, but I kept hitting roadblocks. I liked it so much that it kept haunting me though, and with enough persistence I was able to finish it.

I also had a rough idea about making a video for it. I edited a rough version of it but quickly decided that it was too obvious that I don’t make music videos for a living so I was able to recruit help. Dana did a great job in my opinion.

Born from the creative sparks of a monthly jam in Manisha‘s Discord community, this track takes you on an interstellar journey inspired by the theme of “outer space”. It’s not just any space-themed piece; it’s a musical exploration of the futuristic concept of faster-than-light travel, capturing the essence of a cinematic adventure across the universe. Imagine it as the vibrant, pulsating soundtrack of a film, where each note guides you through the vast, unknown realms of space, resonating with the spirit of cosmic exploration.

While working on my EP, released in December 2020, I came across a Russian song from 1985 by a band I’d never heard of called Forum. I immediately fell in love with the song and made a cover of it. Unfortunately licensing issues made it impossible to include it on my album. It kept nagging me though, so recently I decided to redo the cover and try again. Using a different service than last time seems to have done the trick.

In August I participated in an online workshop held by The Songwriting Academy. We were about ~60 participants, listening and working for about 9 hours 5 days in a row. It was an extremely rewarding event, and if you have an interest in music I highly recommend it. Following the event many of us created an online community where we could keep working together. We try to have a weekly writing prompt, and the first one inspired me to write this track. It would not have been possible without the feedback of my fellow writers and I ended up starting over at least 4 times. I consider this a good thing because every time there was something new that conveyed the song’s much better than the previous iteration.

The vocals were recorded by Allister Bradley.

Lyrics

Verse 1
By the flower stand again
He pulls her in, gives her a rose
But it seems to me
It’s just a plant to her

Pre-chorus
If they spoke their mind
What would they find?

Chorus
Unspoken words
Have consequences
How I wonder
Will I see them tomorrow?

Verse
New day, same routine again
She pulls him in, gives him gift
But it seems to me
It’s just a box to him

The artist Georgia recently announced a remix competition and this is my contribution. I wanted to make it completely fresh so I only kept the original vocals, while writing everything else from scratch. It was quite a challenge to work with someone else’s ideas but just as rewarding. I had the track professionally remixed and remastered by Uglebjerg in August 2021.

The picture on the cover was taken by me. The girl on the picture is Marie, who gracefully allowed me to put her there.

The cover was made by Alen Domazet.

My debut album from 2020. It’d long been a dream of mine to finish a project of this scope, so that year I decided this was going to be the year. I’ve had to learn a lot of lessons to get to this point. One being – don’t write a complete cover, hire a vocalist, and then try and secure the rights to the cover. This ended up being unworkable. I ended up going with a Devo cover instead. Despite being a long existing band I’ve only just discovered them, and I absolutely fell in love with That’s Good.
