So there it is. One day before the dealine. Like college all over again, eh? Only I'm NOT delivering it tomorrow because I won't have the time to nit pick anymore, I've got a gig to play.
But yeah, I entered this competition pretty much as soon as it opened, got started, then scrapped the project, and then I started working on a new one just less than a week ago.
Fuck. Me. It was hectic. XD

But I LOVE how it turned out, especially the... the... the part between 00:00 and 04:00. Anything after that sucks. Sorry Goldie.

So this is a track that derived from this little piece of magic, which is a concept Fulmineous, or Kai  as I know him as, came up with; https://soundcloud.com/horizon-sk/norwegian-mountains

I got the idea of fusing together our styles of his anthem-driven trance-style and my upbeat melodic dubstep-stuff to create something leaning towards what I'd call uplifting dubstep, or "upstep".
And I've godda say, turned out quite nice! <3

Hope ya enjoy it!

Something I made that I'm.. not really that happy with.
I dunno. I've had a 6 month long drying time that I have a VERY hard time breaking out of, but something is better than nothing.

So have some generic sounding electro.

INSTRUMENTATION BY: Rane Storm
VOCALS: Rane Storm

Soooooooo.. I just made this. Don't know why. But I like the song, and I learned a few things;
1. Adding a pressurizer on the overhead and room channel of the drum setup can have AMAZING results.
2. When dealing with a mix of rhythmical strummed guitar and vocals, try sidechaining the guitar with the vocals as a source. It might sound weird on paper, but it's quite effective!
3. That bass is fucking sexy.


Lyrics vary a LITTLE bit, I like adding my own touch to them. For example, I take a ferry to work, not a bus.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
the morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
it reminds me that it's not so bad
it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay
my head just feels in pain
I missed the boat and there'll be hell today
I'm late for work again
and even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the
day
and then you call me and it's not so bad
it's not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Bless the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and
through
then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
because you're near me and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Dido - Thank You (Rane Storm Cover)

Something I made for an audition for several characters, it's a fan project. and they needed a voice for an unused endoskeleton,

Line one is a response to; "-Have you ever got to the night guard first?-"

Line two is a response to; "-WHY AREN'T YOU IN YOUR SUIT? THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES!-"

Line three is just a bunch of notifications and warnings n' stuff.

Yeap. Decided to revive "Caspersky", seeing as I need something else to identify myself as when I'm making this kind of music. Everything still falls under the "Dead Pixel Music" project, but it's just the artist name that changes. This might retroactively change some other tracks as well, but I'll get around to that later.
Case in point; The "Jenny" remix is still by Dead Pixel seeing as that was released under Studio Killer's own promotional flag.

Thank to everyone for listening, and the most sincere apologies to all my watchers for having been so sapped for inspiration this last year. Hopefully this makes up for it ^w^

Now for credits where credits are due:

Been a while since I submitted something, and this is the reason why. Took my good sweet time with this one! X3 
This is another project from the glitchy electro-duo Cl1tch, and this time sporting a more disco'ey beat than the last song. Also, managed to put the college studio to good use this time, although only using it to record vocals. But it was worth it! =3

Hope ya like!~

LYRICS: The Dead Pixel
VOCALIST: Cl1tch (Kine Gjeitrem Indrøy)

<i>"What is the Yira? Hard to say..
It's the void in your heart after all hope is destroyed.
It's the empty feeling when what you fought for wasn't worth it.
It's the sound of your last breath as you slip away into sleep.
It's the last remaining light before the world is engulfed in darkness.
The one word, one language, one way spoken.
It's the song that nobody dares to sing."</i>

This is a project that I did with Cl1tch, which was completed around the same time as "Far from over". But I hesitated in releasing it, since Cli1ch is a collaboration between Kine Gjeitrem Indrøy and me under the Caspersky flag. But this one was produced under the Dead Pixel flag, and thus it's not really "Cl1tch".
Regardless, I believe it was worth a release anyway, since it's so beautiful! ^^
Not quite Cl1tch, but hopefully it's still worth a listen! =3
This is also the first track from Cl1tch where Kine sings lyrics that I have written.

Deadmau5 - Careless (Rane Storm Instrumental Remix)

There's been one thing on my mind recently.
Whenever I've been feeling troubled by something, stressed out, saddened, or just feel like I need to clear my head, I grab my keys and head down to my Ford. I rev up the engine and get it running nice and warm before heading to the street.
Where am I going? I don't really know.. I guess that in the end, I'm just going home. I just start from home, I end up at home, just a really long and winded, improvised detour.
But this helps me focus. Helps me think a bit more over things. See them more clearly. And just the feeling of the music booming in my speakers, the hum of the engine, the lights of the road washing over my dashboard as I drive through the night.. it's almost addictive.

I wanted to capture this feeling. Define it. Weave it into sound.
I do believe I've succeeded.

"Omicron"
- By Jack Wreighter.

What is it that we seek in our lives to make it feel like our existence is paying off in the long run? Is it wealth, popularity, advances in any given industry and innovation? Is it a uniquely human desire to leave our mark on history?
Whatever it is, it's a well known feeling when one doesn't reach those heights they feel obliged to reach. It's a feeling of being stuck. A feeling of getting nowhere.

I like to think of it a bit differently. I like to think of it as being lost in deep space. Just like how we are down here on earth, even if we're stuck, we're still on a planet moving constantly through space. Every moment you feel like you're not getting anywhere, every second, you're covering 30 km of cosmic distance

We're all floating. Nobody knows where. But one should always take some time to just relax and.. take in the view. We're all traveling at the same pace, after all.

You know who you are. Don't worry. You'll get through this <3

This track is dedicated as a theme song for a close friend of mine, Chirre/Chichi.

"Gnosis"
- By Jack Wreighter.

The bright light, it's blinding you.
The rage inside.. has.. it's almost disappeared..
All by your own, far from home.
The light fades, there's only white,
Lit by a bright moon, your skis will bring you there.

That sight you need, where is it..
Where's that new height you've been looking for, crawling for..
You drop on your knees, the snow's at your hands and legs.
It feels.. warm... inside..

The snow kept falling. Nobody could hear you out here.
But you're safe in the knowlege.. nobody needs to.
Gnosis.

---

So! This is something I started making immediately after Norway was hit by a massive blizzard. Our house was completely snowed in, and the white just covered every inch of what this town is.
It all made me think about the days I had in Northern Norway at winter, no that many lights out to pollute the sky, you could just be way out there in the middle of a snow covered wasteland, in the middle of the night.

Take your skis off and lay down in the snow for a bit, let the moon shine on your face, and watch that ever-beautiful aurora dance before your eyes..
That was childhood for me.

Yeah, I'm definitely cut for making chiptunes. XD
This is something I made while watching an art stream of a friend of mine, Dako. I totally blame the guy for reawakening my obsession with the 80's and inspiring me to fully understand the QuadraSID plugin. I'm very happy for that though, since I've always needed a break to try out new things. So thanks, dude! Have a song! ^.=.^

EDIT: I think I've come to realize the reason why I like chiptunes so much. Not only does it remind me of the 80's (despite never living then), but I like to draw a parallel between video game music back then and video games back then. Let's take the video games on the Atari 2600; You're sitting on your couch in the night, only lit by the light of the screen. You're controlling this... THING on the screen dropping little white blips down on the humble of evil on the bottom of the screen. Wait, did you just call that little white blip a bomb? You see, that's what it's like using your imagination. It's exactly what makes me feel awesome about playing these games like super mario and tetris as opposed to today's big name titles. Back then, half the magic was in your head, not in the graphics card.
And this logic can be transferred to music as well; Simple sounds and bleeps that you can easily call a "Rhodes" or a "Trumpet" depending on how the different sounds behave.

Just a short cover thing of DJ Tatana's "Words" which I did for someone for a youtube outro. Enjoy.

I kinda liked the idea of running a 7-note sequence and looping it. It's the main arp in the song. And the idea just exploded into something beautiful.

I'M BACK.

So this is something I've been meaning to do for a LONG time, ever since I used Katy Perry as a test for vocals way back many years ago.
But I never really completed anything with those vocals.

But the last few months, I've been making a few more realizations about myself as a musician;
1. I'm a lot better at melodic stuff like dubstep-infused futurebass, rather than pure dubstep mayhem.
2. I'm better at remixing than most other things, really. One of the biggest issues I have in music production, is composition, and remixing really gives me that base-line that I need.
3. I need need to start learning more from people like Barely Alive and Virtual Riot. It helped a lot in this project.

So here it is. Remix. Yay. Fun.
Who cares if it doesn't get popular, I had fun making it.
Hopefully you'll have fun listening to it.

Just a little something I've made as I'm still getting more into the whole Reason Pianos thing. This song pretty much describes my mood spot on as things are now. It's not that I'm sad or depressed or anything, but I've just been.. well, not particularly ecstatic as my life has been stuck in limbo lately. I guess as long as I can do the things I love, I'll be fine. ^^
I've loved this song for a long time anyway, and got around to remixing it now. Hope you people like it!
