Chaos Wrapped

Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Empires"; download at https://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/empires/

Struggled with this one for a bit - new synth and general ennui, mostly, but in the end I guess it ended up sounding like Burial Based Lifeforms.

They Move

Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k "Offscreen Colonies" available at http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/offscreen_colonies/

This was done in a very short time but it was all the more fun and challenge to work on this - the brief was "slightly retro, uplifting, slowish", so I tried to make it sound like a bit of an 80s sci-fi movie endscroller track. Despite some serious micromanagement to fit the future visuals, I'm very very happy with the end result.

Onwards Fading Future

Composed for ASD's Lifeforce demo, presented at Assembly 2007

Memento Mori (Collaboration with Leviathan)

This track has been composed for the same titled demo by Andromeda Software Development (albeit with different vocals).

I'm not a singer, and therefore my voice pretty much sucks. So, if you feel like singing for this track, look for the instrumental version of it on my soundcloud page, download it and give it a try :)

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.
