The haunting spoken-sung vocal melody of Lost matter has set up camp in my dreams in the past 24 hours...like a lost media coldwave icon after seeing a live snippet of it on instagram. 

The fragile yamaha portasound drums and droning sonorous bass provide a stoic minimalist backdrop embodying the sense of loss...while the cute casiotone melodies regress and dissociate dreaming of a better past/future. 

In Eno-esque fashion; the vocal fails to return to the pitch after the half-time whistle-blows as if the matter of convincing people with words or furnishing more context is futile...and ...potentially too painful...retreating to the relative safety and comfort of the playful, dream like instrumental.

"Things might just be okay" after all

 The rest of the album is probably good also...but it will take me a while to get to it as i have to grow weary of this delightful tune which so perfectly evokes hope in the face of adversity first. 

Probably the best cheapkeys / crapkeys album you will hear this year. Feat. Yamaha PSS-470, Casiotone MT-400v

a dark hope; British stoicism.

Magical dreamy playful minimal wave made with equal parts cute vintage toy keyboards and british stoicism, evoking feelings of hope in the face of adversity.

Nothing Left To Say - Notebook Songs 2018-19

laughmotel - lost matter (bandcamp link in description) [pss-470 mt-400v]

You are dodging a mayhem of bullets as you approach the final boss... 
A tune heavily inspired by the shoot 'em up genre. 

You are free to use this track (with credit). Just send me a message to let me know :)

The Reluctant Defender

A song for the (yet to be released) Game Dan Team game 'Down River Ride'

Juegan (Down River Ride OST)

Originally made for ​itch.io/jam/weekly-note-composing-jam-9

Challenge: make a song for the theme of "Shovel and Pick".

Continuing on with the NES soundchip project and trying to work within those limited constraints. This one uses a swing tempo and has a routine alternate percussion on the noise channel that's designed to emulate the shovel and pickaxe actions. Went for a bit of a western ranch type feel with a sort of blues form.

Disquiet Junto Project 0692: Combust a Move
The Assignment: Make music using fire for the rhythm track.

While tidying up unfinished tracks I stumbled upon a somehow phasered pad that I liked very much and for which I have long forgotten what I once did it for and how. I did not want to delete it, but I was not able to do something with it either. The unruly sound simply rejected all my attempts to add something. But as much as I liked for itself (even in its original lenght of around 20 minutes) I wanted to do more with it. Then I was tidying up my mails and found the disquiet junto prompt. I downloaded a fireplace and added it to the pad - and I liked it. There was some optimizing, like the fireplace goes thru a gater (adding a slightly straight rhythm) and there is a decrackle plugin set to "output crackle only" (to reduce the noise without loosing the high frequencies), and there is a smoking person in the room.

Full Free Album

free floating firespace [disquiet0692]

Dust is a piece about hope, anticipation, and the slow process of self-discovery—created especially for Drone Day 2025.

Built from looped and layered piano tones, black noise, and found textures, it balances stillness with subtle motion. The track explores the tension between clarity and murk, drawing inspiration from the textured minimalism of Taylor Deupree’s "Flashfires" and other ambient works.

Crafted using the Organelle, Onward dynamic sampler pedal, dictaphone, and field recordings.
