#DIY #Singer-Songwriter. My schtick is chord progressions. Everything else is rough and kind of weird but the chord progressions really are the point, in case you're trying to understand where I'm coming from. These are all scratch tracks of songs that I'll probably never end up recording in a real studio, unless I win the Mega Millions tonight at 11:00. My hashtag style is #americana #trippy #indie #acoustic #eerie #folk with a unique meandering lead guitar style, creepy backing harmony vocals, and #strange #weird lyrics about heavy existential themes, eternal questions, and chairs. But all the rest of that is just work; the favorite part is almost always just the chords. Latest 'album' (playlist) of originals is called "Ethereality".

Discover Belgian Hardstyle, Rawstyle and Harcode Songs. 
Material that might be used : FL Studio, a MPC ONE, and sometimes Novation Mininova.

Enjoy these digital doodles! All instrumental, many improvised, generally oriented toward soundtrack work.  Thanks for listening!

All my music is recorded,using cakewalk by bandlab.
Mainly based around acoustic guitar tunes but I do try to add drums and synths within my DAW...
I can't really say what my genres are so I guess it's mainly emotional and experimental felt songs.
I keep searching for the next creative style and hope it hits all the right notes...watch this space..

November 2025 Status:  I was on a hiatus there for a bit but now I am back working on making music and posting it again. Thanks for waiting for me to return. 

I listen to tons of techno, trance and EDM. I grew up tho with 60s and 70s rock and jazz fusion. I took piano for five years. My dad played piano, accordian, xylophone, bongos and little bit of guitar. Mom was an oil and acrylic artist. In college I practiced piano in the listening rooms and hung out in the music degree buildings and went to bunches of concerts in the SF Bay Area. 

In 2018 I landed a writing gig with DJD UK Global Music and wrote 74 listener reviews of songs for their artists. The label owner later retired after a long career in music production and marketing and closed his label.

I released my debut digital album on the DJD UK Global Music label in March 2019 called "Off Grid Analog", 13 tracks, 48:05 minutes of experimental/electronic/noise original music available for just a year on all major online outlets.  It was fun working with a label and to create an album. 

In the past I've created music on a Korg Poly-61, Korg X-50 and an Alesis Micron and mixed on a Mackie 1402-VLZ3 14-channel mixer. Today I've been creating electronic, experimental and noise music with a Teenage Engineering PO-28 Robot Pocket Operator, Stylophone Gen X-1 Analog Synthesizer, Bastl Kastle 1.5 Synth,  Meeblip Geode Synth, Alesis Q25 Controller, Kieth McMillen QuNexus USB MIDI CV Gate Controller, Alesis Micron Synth, Rucci 8-bit Power Synth, Rucci Maximal Drone, Rucci 16-step CV Sequencer,  Moffenzeef Modular MSG II Black, Stylophone Gen R8 Synth, Bastl Dude Mixer, Korg Volca FM Synth, Make Noise O-Coast Synth, Korg Monotron Delay Synth, Korg NTS-1 Synth Benidub Filtro, Arturia Keystep Controller, etc. I got away from melodic pieces to explore music and to dabble in electronic, experimental, noise, drone and experimental techno, ambient, trance styles.

My home studio includes m-Audio BX5 powered monitors and use of Beyerdynamic studio headphones, Sony and Beats phones. I use a Chromebook and the cloud-based in-browser Bandlab DAW and I do my own mastering. I use both a Baslt Dude Mixer and the Behringer Xenyx 1002B 10-chnl mixer. I use Mogami cables, Roland Gold MIDI cable, CV cables, iConnectivity MIDI to USB cable. I use a Boomstick Psychoacoustic DAC for added richness of dynamics. Final signal path output goes through the USB audio adapter into my Chromebook.  I rarely do multitrack preferring a straight signal path from one device to the next till final put goes through a mixer to the audio adapter into the Chromebook. 

I'm active on synth and music groups on Facebook under my name:
John Koudela III.  My music name tho is jtechno on Soundcloud. 

I'm located north of Seattle, WA. Contact me at:  jtechnoelectronicmusic@yahoo.com
