I've been thinking about making a remix of the end theme from Nintendo's MarioKart 64 for nearly two decades now, and it finally came to fruition. The original is pretty massive, so of course this one is a little heavy too, but hopefully it came out all right.

Used nearly all my gear on this one plus loads of samples from the game - obviously. Figured I had to use the last sample from Mario, even though I've already used it on 8-Bit Voyager.

Enjoy! :)

I wanted to play with some of my FM synthesizers and plugins from reFX Nexus 2 (FM1 and FM2) and change the tempo down a little from what I usually compose in. Heavily influenced by pop songs from the 80s merged with a little this and that.

Latest song. Started originally out as a new intro jingle for The 8-Bit Guy, and grew into a full song.

Some time back in 1989 my dad came home from a work trip and had found this cassette in France with a collection of synth covers. There was one song in particular that went straight to my heart, and has stayed ever since as the goto song if I need cheering up. Paolo Pelandi's "Générique Top 50" which is a pretty different remake of the original. However, I had never heard that one, so this cover version has since then been my favourite synthwave/italodisco song. 

I've tried numerous times to cover it myself and even played it live on a borrowed Roland JW-50 and my Technics KN-1000 at my high school graduation party. It wasn't until now that I finally got around to crack the code of keeping the feel and flow of the original.

Hope you enjoy it too. :)

Happy upbeat track heavily inspired by Malmen's awesome tracks and Audalanche's "Chardonnay", fused with various LA-Fusion/Jazzrock (Mezzoforte, Spyro Gyra, Rippingtons etc) and of course the classic synthpop! Enjoy! :)

Autumn Dancing

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
