      Pastorale industriale
    (excerpt from the end)

    A lot of nice blips layered in sweet pumping sounds.

      Loud and proud
    (excerpt from the beginning)

    This may seem more bombastic than most of my compositions...

      "Not all those who wander are lost..."
    (excerpt from the middle)

    All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost. / The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by frost.
    - J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973)

      Qui-oh
    (excerpt from the early part)

    Chinese voices in a tribal rhythm setting. (I'll be surprised if any one could translate the spoken part, since it is treated and cut in many ways.)

      Landscape painting
    (excerpt from the middle)

    This is intended to be only an impression, a landscape of memories long gone.

      Evolving blips and bells
    (excerpt from the middle)

    I like the quirky forward going layers in this tune. There are parts in it that perhaps needs to be restrained, so I still have to work on it.

      Strings and flutter
    (excerpt from the beginning)

    This is a piece experimenting with connecting traditional instrument sounds (string ensemble) with fluttering electronic sounds. I hope this will reveal a more abstract musical vocalbulary.

      Forest, rain, wind...
    (excerpt from the middle)

    In this dreamy landscape tune I feel a whispering from Toru Takemitsu, one of my favourite composers. It may sound melodic, but my aim is to let the disparate elements meet each other as sounds rather than melodies.

      Oone II
    (excerpt from beginning)

    In this piece I have used plenty of granular synthesis applied to voice clips and some bell sounds.

      Is it the end...
    (excerpt from beginning)

    This is a piece with a rhytmic backdrop with harmonies, a recurring arpeggiated lead solo, and voice clips.

      Growl
    (excerpt from beginning)

    Here is an example of music made with the VAZ modular software synth, including the sequences. Only some rhytmic ambience samples added.

      Untill this day...
    (excerpt from the middle)

    This is a mellow track centered around a pulsating, rhythmical sound that moves in dialogue with whirling organ sounds. The style is something of a tribute to the Berlin-school of Klaus Schulze or Wolfram Spyra.

      Runner
    (excerpt from beginning)

    This piece represents a somewhat more experimental approach with a heavy rhythmical sound in conjunction with some eerie strings sounds. The strings are rhythmical and rather dissonant, resembling the style of Michael Nyman.
