June 2025 - Not posting new songs for a bit as I am applying mastering to the current songs here. I am also redoing some of the effects for certain mixes so mastering comes out better. I'll announce when that is complete and return to creating new songs to add. 

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
