I don't really remember why I was inspired by nomads from the Sahara Desert, but the beautiful scenery of the dunes under the burning sun (in my mind) may have given me some weird ideas on this composition...

Nomad Soul (Original Composition 2010)

My big brother, who took the artist name "Dago Digital Sound", made the instrumental on this remix first, but never really finished it, so I took over and mounted the pieces together... I did the best I could, given that it was back in 2009, I think it was still better than the other remix version I tried to achieve in 2010 :)

Anyah - Mankafy (JaniDJ feat. Dago Digital Sound's 2009 Remix Project)

a remix project of a local Malagasy R&B song from local artist Anyah, trying to minimize the original instrumental, dissect it, and distribute the pieces in each section of the remixed instrumental... it was quite fun!

Anyah - Mankafy (JaniDJ's 2010 Remix Project)

Probably one of my first compositions, if not to say my first. That is probably why I titled it "Dirtily Done", because of its sense of drafting, a song made to learn all that new stuffs. I made this one in 2008, as I was still discovering the basics of Fruity Loops and how to play with all the instruments, the mixing tables, phasers, automations...etc
The reason of making the style like this was because of the Tecktonik trend at the time.
I gotta admit that after these years, I was happy to retrieve this title in my old hard drive, and it kinda inspired me to get back in the musical composition hobby and make more interesting tracks, improve and grow with it... :-)

Dirtily Done (Original Composition 2008)

this composition was made in 2009. It was inspired by my nights of insomnia which were sometimes accompanied by the noise of the rain outside. I tried somehow to express a sense of rain in the electronic instruments, but I don't know if I succeeded or not. What do you think?

Sleepless Man (In Rain City) (Original composition 2009)

Electrology is a very playful composition, with styles ranging from orchestral, to electronic-western kind of weird mix. The original composition was completed in 2009 and even though it sounded nice, I had a feeling it lacked just a little bit of something, that it sounded just a little bit dry?!.... it's only in 2011 that I remembered the track and decided to see if I could bring just a little bit more life to it, more depth to the strings, chords, give more room to the instruments and modify the bass to give it more kick... I feel satisfied with this old track now, but if you have any recommendations, feel free to drop a comment ;-)

Electrology (Originally from 2009) (remastered version 2011)

the repetition of the notes in this one is rather boring, but I still enjoyed the way I was discovering other instruments and playing with effects. The rhythm was also slower than the previous compositions, so I am not exactly sure if that hurts or makes it better?!
Still, it's one of my old composition, so I thought it was worth sharing!
