Tracks made with my 64k synth (MVX)
All of these tracks can be represented as an Windows executable file not greater than 32 kilobytes, mostly to mask the fact about how crap they really sound.

Executable music entry for Revision 2011, which it eventually won. About 27k including everything, most of it being the movie sample which you probably can't make out unfortunately.

This track was a tricky one to do - I had to go against a lot of my preconceptions of how or why should I make music, and ultimately a lot of the credit must go to http://soundcloud.com/dshmusic for reassuring me in the last minute that I really should just follow my instinct and go ahead with whatever I feel like adding to the tune, instead of being held back by preconceived ideas.

All in all I think this is one of my favorite tracks of what I've done.

So I just realized I never actually wrote an editorial here so here goes: This particular track was pretty much done as a reaction - we released our intro "Memento" in early 2006 and the reaction wasn't stellar. People hated the synth and the music, which was a bit heartbreaking because it was my first job working on a 64k soundtrack for Conspiracy - I was angry and hurt. At the same time, at the same party, I entered a ~1800 byte exemusic entry called "Demise" which was very much a proof of concept of doing these huge basslines in small sizes.

When we started working on Chaos Theory, I was very much driven by my recent introduction to https://soundcloud.com/blacksunempire/ - the influence was pretty tangible. At the same time I meshed influences from mainstyle hardcore I was getting into (https://soundcloud.com/djthaplayah/tha-playah-fuck-tha-fame by https://soundcloud.com/djthaplayah/ just came out at the time), and for some reason I felt a strong influence by Dream Theater at the time too, which I can't explain.

The response to this track was absolutely overwhelming, and to this day I'm not entirely sure what resonated with people or why, but I'm glad that it did.

The Rewind

Soundtrack for the Still 64k "Invoke" (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=50135)

The title is a reference to a square in Budapest where I used to wait at 1-2AM for the night bus (number 923) to arrive quite often during the period I was writing the tune. The bus only came every hour so I would need to spend that period sitting in a bus stop. The square itself, as many others, is populated with homeless people, kebab stands, slightly irredentist drinking establishments and dirt, but what made it admirable for me is how "organic" it was - it felt it wasn't prone to trouble, everyone knew the way and routine, and it all evolved into a system.
The track is one of the first 64k tracks to use "glitch" i.e. granular editing. A huge chunk of influence belongs to edIT's amazing first album (http://soundcloud.com/edit/sets/crying-over-pros-for-no-reason). Also, if you think the melody reminds you of The Birthday Massacre, you are very correct.

Distant Sweet Horizon

Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design 64k "Träsh"

This track came about when one day I was wondering if we should make a 64k intro and what the concept would be. Eventually I remembered that back in 2003, TGD made a parody of our naming scheme, joking that our next intro would be called "Träsh". Since I thought it's a good name, I began to think about what kind of design would fit, and eventually narrowed it down to "grimy, dirty, sewer-style".
I'm not sure what the influence was the music for, I'm pretty sure the feel for the beat came from the Prodigy remix of "Release Yo Delf", and the glitchy editing was just something I always enjoyed (BT, Tipper, Infected Mushroom...). I believe this was in fact the first 64k intro ever to do that.
