"Inner Peace" didn´t make the cut, and the lyrics are incomplete, but still, Enjoy if you want

Michigan-Inner Peace 2013 Demo

This is a cover with some original sounds sampled. Otherwise it´s all just about programming:)

Michigan-Depeche Mode "Welcome To My World"-Cover-2014

A cover of Depeche Mode`s "Higher Love". Obviously some original samples were used, 

Michigan-Depeche Mode´s Higher Love cover 2014

This is one´s made with 2-3 original samples. The rest of the sounds are made on NI instruments, such as, Massive, Battery, Rounds, and others.  Great sounding track imho!

Michigan - Should Be Higher (instrumental cover)-  origin appears on Depeche Mode´s Delta Machine

A couple of years ago me and some guys bought the original EMAX disc with Alan Wilders set-up for the "Music for the Masses tour-88". So I made this one for fun, a couple of years ago, using the actual sounds he did play. 

Depeche Mode´s  Blasphemous Rumours-88 version ( Alan Wilders original EMAX set-up`s used)

I did this one 2 years ago, using the original Alan Wilder EMAX samples: Always loved the track. It´was THE ONE track that got me into both DM and music.

Depeche Mode- Something To Do-88 version (Alan Wilder´s original EMAX set-up´s used )

Well, we´ve all been a child sometime:) A corny yet, poppy track.

Depeche Mode`s Just Can´t Get Enough-88 version 82 Ending (Alan Wilders original Emax set-up´s used)

A great track in my opinion. To me it represents all the best parts of what a good DM track`s about. 

Depeche Mode´s Black Celebration-88 version (Alan Wilder´s Emax set-up`s used)

Depeche Mode`s Master&Servant 88 version with-84 Ending (Alan Wilder´s Emax´s setup was used)

Another personal favourite. A great tune:)

Depeche Mode`s Shake The Disease- 88 version (Alan Wilder´s Emax setup was used)

Depeche Mode`s Fly On The Windscreen-86 version (Alan Wilder´s Emax setup was used)

Depeche Mode`s If You Want-84 version (A.W sounds from EMAX setup used)

An obscure track. But it´s definately a good one:)

Depeche Mode´s Shame 83-84 version (Alan Wilder´s Emax sounds were used)

Alans first contribution as a songwriter for DM i believe:)

Depeche Mode`s Two Minute Warning 84-version (Some sounds from Alan Wilder´s EMAX setup were used)

A personal favourite. Some sounds from Alan Wilder´s EMAX set were used to create this.  For example: The "Oboe" sound in the beginning and in the end is from "Everything Counts". Some of the drums are from Drumulator and one sampled kick from "People Are People" `s used. The hardest part was actually to recreate the "Organsound" that is the mainriff throughout the whole track. I´ve used two organ sounds from NI.  Other instruments used on this track are: NEXUS, MASSIVE, VANGUARD, POLYPLEX (Drums), ROUNDS, JUPITER V2, HALION (Sampler), BATTERY-4.

Depeche Mode`s Ice Machine 84-version (Some sounds from A.W Emax setup were used)

Great track. 
Several sounds were taken from Banks of "Fly on the Windscreen", "Everything Counts", "Leave in Silence", and "Something to do". As I try to create the actual soundscape, I clearly begin to see how Alan really worked with the liveversions. Great fun it is:). Enjoy it!
