One of the first tracks I created with my Roland Desktop Music Studio (?) and the CM-32L sound module that came with it. Probably back in 1990 or something like that. Recorded on a cassette deck Tascam portastudio, and digitized on a normal PC, so sound quality not that crisp. :(

Hip - Pop

Sometime around 1998 I upgraded to using Cubase as a sequencer/studio and got the sound from my new Roland XP-10 synth. I played around with samples for the first time, and downloaded some fun ones from "The Princess Bride" and some other stuff, then just put together some lyrics to match - just for fun. So excuse the emo vibe. :)

Fallen From Grace

Another track made with the Roland Desktop Music Studio - instrumental. I like how the various instruments/sounds integrate. Again, recorded on a cassette desk portastudio so audio quality isn't that great.

Speedy

I wrote this song in my youth while reading a lot of fantasy novels that had tragic and epic stories, ergo the title and lyrics. Okay, so vocals are slightly off-tune here and there, and the recording breaks up - but I'm still kind of impressed that I pulled of multiple vocal tracks on the same song at that age. This is the song my daugther tried to sing along to, and suggested should be in the Eurovision competition. :)

Misery My Saviour

An old tune, don't really remember when and why and how I wrote this. If you listen closely I actually sing two different harmonies on this one. Who'd thunk it? 

Buzz

One of the last songs I made, in 1998. Must have been using Cubase and the Roland XP-10. Pretty well made I think, but as usual vocals are sometimes a bit off key and sound quality is based on the cassette deck portastudio.

The Wind In Your Wings

An early tune, instrumental, using the Roland Desktop Music Studio thing. A bit tedious in the long run, but with some nice bits.

The Hunter

I was in a roleplaying group back in the day, where we played the "Amber" RPG - based on Roger Zelazny's books. The players could get bonus points for doing nice stuff for the game sessions, such as bake cookies, take notes, etc. So I wrote a couple of songs. 
This one is about one of the NPCs called Flora, who was a member of the royal family who was very strict on cleaning and not dragging in muddy boots.

Floras Song

I was in a roleplaying group back in the day, where we played the "Amber" RPG - based on Roger Zelazny's books. The players could get bonus points for doing nice stuff for the game sessions, such as bake cookies, take notes, etc. So I wrote a couple of songs. 
I played a magician with a bad case of Black Adder syndrome - high ambitions and a train wreck of bad results. She had a daughter called Nadia who was hidden away in another world, to keep her from being manipulated by the others at the Amber court, so this is her song.
