Here we go - Daydreams is the first release of these tracks made in collaboration with Melani Cholie. 
I say "first" because even though Soulmates was the first out of these, I was never happy with the overall production quality, and so there was a long pause, and I've stored a bunch of tracks in the meantime. 
So we have a good variety coming up for you :)

Daydreams (rebassifixmix) - Analog Monoxide & Melani Cholie

Bullets, Thoughts & Prayers

Here's the next track from the collaboration with Melani Cholie.

Working on a lot of projects in parallel these days, these tracks I've been sitting on them for the last 3 years, until I thought the production quality was in place, I guess we're finally here :)

More to follow soon

Analog Monoxide & Melani Cholie - Asphalt Cowboy

When I don't make music - I sometimes play space games.
Sometimes I make space music, while playing space games.

heard this all over IG reels, so remixed it on the OP-1

A happy tune about meeting kindred spirits, life, music, and love :)

Lyrics: 

when you're meeting friends 
an old song is sung anew 
a song of life, of hearts meeting 
and story passing on 

and life is music 
memories in the making 
you know that it's all right 
and this is where you're meant to be

Life Is Music

Life Is Music - Analog Monoxide

A track written/recorded on the OP-1, in the sun :)
Produced in FL Studio.
This has now been rearranged with the lyrics/vocoder, and tweaked.
Big thanks to team Working Brilliantly for the input.

lyrics:

You are the morning
The violet in the sky
You're the homestead
The place we gather by
And you are always
There if I should fall
To catch my sorrow
To be there by my side

Indigo
Indigo
Indigo
Indigo

As long I'm able
I'll be there standing by
I'll be the mountain
Holding up the sky
If you should need me
You just have to call
And I know sometime
Someone will see your heart

Indigo
Indigo
Indigo
Indigo
Indigo
Indigo

Indigo - Analog Monoxide

Here's some blues.
Loud & dirty.

Lyrics:

gonna bring you to the river 
gonna make you float or sink 
gonna take you to the water 
gonna make you taste the drink 

there's no point to keep denying 
there's nothing left to justify 
it's just a sad old story 
it's just a long goodbye 

there's no time to play pretend now 
there's no time to talk the talk 
now it's time to face the music 
now it's time to walk the walk 

gonna travel over mountains 
gonna travel over sea 
I'm gonna find you hiding 
gonna make you come and see 

don't let it get you down now 
don't let it bring you any grief 
it's just a thing we tend to carry 
it's just not something to keep 

there's no time to play around now 
there's no time for shadow play 
now it's time to spin the fan up 
now it's time the lady sings

Walk The Walk - Analog Monoxide

Close To Flying - Analog Monoxide

Funk/acid jazz, kind of a tribute to Dr. Lonnie Smith

Is There A Doctor In The House - Analog Monoxide

He,She,It - Analog Monoxide

been too long lingering in this place 
I have to take it somewhere else 
feel like too much just been going to waste 
and now I'm running overdue 

there's somewhere out there that fits me just right 
somewhere that I can stay 
there's no more time to waste on holding back 
the road is up ahead 

there's somewhere out there where I can belong 
there's some way that I can try 
there's no more time to waste on staying here 
the second guessing stops right now 

always some reason for holding back 
I need to push ahead 
'cause comfort's never gonna take you anywhere 
just have to make your way 

spend all my life on wishful dreams 
or take the plunge right here right now 
there's no more time to waste on holding back 
the road is up ahead 

there's somewhere out there where I can belong 
somewhere that I can thrive 
there's no more time to waste on staying here 
second guessing stops right now

Comfort Zone - Analog Monoxide

I don't have too many words on my mind 
I've been up, I've been down - guess I've been around 
but these are some things, I believe to be true 
they're as much for myself , as for you 

try be gentle when you have them near 
you never know how much time you'll share 
we all are carrying, sorrows and ails 
be the warming breeze, that fills their sails 

but these are just words that I try to live by 
I fail so often, and don't know why 
I guess it's just, that I'm human, that is all 
and flawed, that's the way that we are 

but try to swallow your pride when you know 
you've got wrong to set right, even if you feel low 
you might not get the chance once more 
you could say that I've learned this for sure 

and try to cherish the gifts you receive 
it will make you happier while you live 
sometimes you get, and sometimes you must give 
but each day is a gift to embrace 

but these are just thoughts I try to recall 
in my darkest hours, when I stumble and fall 
I guess, I just wanted to say that you're not 
alone if you're feeling this way

Words For The Road - Analog Monoxide

Pequeno Samba - Analog Monoxide

This one is for you C. 
I miss you, but I understand.


Lyrics:

I walk around the frozen streets for days 
and I realize I'm searching for your face 
Somehow I think you'll be just round the corner 
that I'll hear your laugh, and all the world turns brighter 

I'll hold you in my arms, your eyes shining bright 
I'll kiss you, and I'll say how much I love you 

I stumble on as frozen on the inside 
as this cold world, which all my hopes denies 
I grit my teeth, press on despite my blisters 
looking for a friend among the strangers 

when three days have passed, the world like a blur 
my legs can carry me no further 

your laugh has stilled, the world has learned of silence 
I finally sit down, and I concede 
a light so bright, went out in January 
but I know that a part is always with me 

as the world dissolves, I whisper your name 
it was worth it all, I would do it again

I Would Do It All Again - Analog Monoxide

still after all 
this time gone by 
I'm thinking of you 
and wondering why 

t'was one of those dreams 
that never came through 
I guess it's too late 
but I wish you knew 

that, babe, hey, I love you so, 
babe, I need you so, 
and babe, please don't you go 
'cause I need to know 

would it help 
if I said please 
knocked on your door 
and got on my knees 

and could we have changed 
could you be mine 
how would it been 
if I'd got there in time 

saying 
babe, I love you so, 
babe, I need you so, 
and babe, please don't you go 
'cause I belong, with you 

this time I guess 
I have to let go 
remember your kiss 
and let it be so 

your eyes lighting up 
looking my way 
I still see your face 
these memories stay 

babe, I still love you so, 
babe, I still need you so, 
and babe, I will miss you so 
cause I belonged, with you

With You - Analog Monoxide

This is a song that will be included on the upcoming album "Songs For The Road" which will be out April 15th.

-----------------------------

you paint the future
so vividly
while looking outside
speaks differently

tell me to stay
stay in my cage
my gilded cage
my gilded cage

you spin your lies
so blatantly
while your machine grinds
indifferently

tell me to stay
stay in my cage
my gilded cage
my gilded cage

you sell my future
to hold my leash
you're selling dreams
for easy cash

tell me to stay
my god damn case
this gilded cage
this gilded cage

Gilded Cage - Analog Monoxide

From the forthcoming album, Songs For The Road, out April 15th

Lyrics:

well it's been a while 
since I went here 
I wasn't sure 
I'd be doing this again 

there is still hope 
said the misanthrope 
time moves on 
yeah, time moves on 

don't know about you 
but I plan to see 
what the future brings 
for you and me 

but we know the deal 
we're playing tag 
where I choose you, 
and you choose me

Songs For The Road

A big thanks goes to everyone of you lovely humans involved who contributed to making this something special.

Lyrics:

When the city starts to fall asleep   
When howling wolves turn their voices deep 
When the ladies coloured lips are getting pale  
It is time for you to try again or fail  

For sure I´ll give your teeth a second chance
I bare my neck for you to light again
Looking like a bat, you are no wuss
But without my blood you drop back into blues

We are Soulmates, we are Soulmates

When the fire´s burning down to flames  
When the guttersnipes are playing bloody games  
When seconds lately fall out of their time  
there´s a shadow you´re surrounded by  

For sure I´ll give your teeth a second chance
I bare my neck for you to light again
Looking like a bat, you are no wuss
But without my blood you drop back into blues

We are Soulmates, we are Soulmates

if you're a cat - meow along
if you're a human, I guess that works too?

Hi there!
Much more music is now available on Bandcamp, Spotify and across digital stores.

-------------------------------------------

Analog Monoxide is a multi-instrumentalist musician and producer from Norway who has worked within multiple genres for more than 25 years.

He still keeps obsessively studying guitars, keys, various forms of synthesis, drums, and more, to keep expanding his palette for creating music.
Work happens mostly in solitary in his home studio, and is a highly free-form process where electronic instruments and equipment is often used alongside more traditional instruments, blending together different sounds and styles. 
The resulting music is hard to pin to a certain style, as it often ranges from experimental electronica to acoustic jazz, and anything in between. 

In addition to his productions, you will also find some performances on Eurorack modular and other hardware, as well as traditional instruments.
There's also been increasing focus on video and audiovisual content, which can be found on YouTube.
