Resurrected from an XM that I made for competing at Remedy 1995. I think it came in second. 

I wanted to give this song a fresh take, since the original arrangement had some dodgy samples, an awkward groove and a pretty shitty mix.

I like this version better.

Wayfinder - The Marigold Manifold (rough sketch) (2011)

I finished this album the year I graduated high school. This was the transformation from slower, darker and melancholy trip-hop to more aggressive and spacier breakbeat & big beat sounds. This was before I had any MIDI controllers or digital equipment... this was made on a Pentium 4 machine with a mouse and QWERTY keyboard.

Hoffman - Yeah! (Revision 2011 Edit)

Featuring Romeo Knight on guitars
Original song by Moby

The original Elecfunk module has a great human feel to it, and I tried to recreate that atmosphere of a loose, playful jam session. Romeo Knight contributed some great guitar tracks, which helped seal the deal.

Original by Moby

It's been a great pleasure re-imagining this classic track by the legendary Moby, and to bring my own twist to it. It was always an inspiring song, and helped me realize just how crazy you could be with tracked music.

Hoffman - Ziphead

Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k "Offscreen Colonies" available at http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/offscreen_colonies/

This was done in a very short time but it was all the more fun and challenge to work on this - the brief was "slightly retro, uplifting, slowish", so I tried to make it sound like a bit of an 80s sci-fi movie endscroller track. Despite some serious micromanagement to fit the future visuals, I'm very very happy with the end result.

Kaktusen - MegaElectric PowerMövement (Gargaj remix)

A track I made for "Variform remixed" - get the entire compilation at http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=20435
Mastered by LB. (http://soundcloud.com/el-bee)
I originally wanted to make a faster, drum-and-bass-y version, but that just didn't work out - at one point I accidentally dropped the tempo to half and I liked the groove enough to finish it that way.
There are a couple of weird samples in there which might need explanation: Variform, as it is known, is heavily influenced by Imatran Voima's track "In/Out", which I decided to sample back into the a Variform remix, just to back-reference the original.


Little Bitchard & Mel Funktion - Variform (Surface mix)

The lights go down, the candles come on, and as you sit there with her, it is suddenly 1986 all over again -- the two of you, movie star icons in a big screen romance.... and your night has just begun...

After Hours with Rarity (in the 80's)

It's remake time, folks! Didn't manage to find the original release date for the song, but my best guess would be somewhere around 1996 or so, going by samples and technique. 

Usually, these remixes are a juicy stew of old and new -- I always start with bounced tracks from OpenMPT, and replace things like kicks and basses to clear up the mix. In this case, however, almost nothing survived since the mix was such a mess. The most rewarding part came when I finally nailed the drums (four layers of full kits!) and got to work on the brass. The song really came alive at that point, and the rest of the time was spent fiddling with the organ, which was the major copy-paste offender.

Oh, and the name differs slightly from the original, to avoid infringing on the trademark of a certain fast food chain.

Enjoy!

Fast RMX OST - Willard Mine

The track is divided into two parts:
1. The Return of The Stolen Sun, which is my attempt to imprint my feelings about winter-spring transition, I hope, you will share the same euphoric feeling after listening to the track :D
2. Sunset Mirage, which is dedicated to a beautiful dream I had last week. Too lazy to describe in detail (believe me, it would be worth it). The misty distance over the frozen in time sea, showing different images in the reflection of glowing haze. A girl who spoke Finnish asked me "Do you see, do you feel this beauty?" Of course, I felt the beauty, "Yeah i FEEL the thing". Hehe. Lovely dream.

This dream haunts me. I can't stop thinking of amazing images I saw in this dream even a year after. (07/2018)
Seriously. My whole life seems to have started with this dream. (05/2019)

Here's a link to an entry, you can even grab the source (if you register, of course :D)

wayfinder - magellan (party version) (2010)

The track Elysium was originally composed by Jester (Volker Tripp) for Sanity's Amiga 500 demo with the same title. What shall i say? It's a classic production from the alltime hall of fame and ever since i first watched it in 1991 the music stuck in my head.

Hence the reinterpretation feat. the AudioRealism orchestra.

Hope u like!
PS: here's the classic Amiga demo

wayfinder - rove (2010)

Remix of the Amiga demo track called "Hyperbased" from Enigma/ Phenomena
Original Amiga Module by Firefox and Tip

Ffx&tip-hyperbased (virgill - OMG its a CUBE rmx)

A medley of some of my released songs. This track is a continuous work in progress, not likely to ever be finished.

The last part (07:30) is an adaptation of Fair Play to the Queen, and was added as a tribute to a dear friend (and a huge presence in the Swedish demoscene) who passed away in May 2015.

Rest in peace, Retro.
