In 2001, I departed from Fast Tracker II and tried Fruity Loops 3 (now known as FL Studio) for more professional quality. Stereo audio effects such as echo, reverb, and access to higher quality samples really made a difference. I had to leave behind the manual editing of effects, which had its pros and cons. I ended up quitting making music on this platform in 2003. These are songs from the tail end of that period, 2002-2003.

Fruity Loops 3 (2002-2003)

Whiplashed, a JFK Whiplash Gumball 3000 Remix.

This is a song I composed in 2002 or 2003 with Fruity Loops 3.

It is a remix of "Whiplash" by JFK, but contains extra composition. If JFK has any problems with this video, I will gladly and quickly take it down. I am just a fan.

I first heard of "Whiplash" from the Mischief 3000 Episode II underground car racing video by Teckademics, which features the Gumball 3000 rally.

Turns out Dustin, the creator of the Mischief series digs my remix:

"hahaha. Funny when I edited the Mischief 3000 trailer back in '02 I never thought this song was going to be a hit! Good remix man! - Dustin, creator of the Mischief﻿ series"

Popcorn, a Gershon Kingsley / Hot Butter Remix Remix.

This is a song I composed in 2002 or 2003 with Fruity Loops 3.

It is a remix of "Popcorn" originally by Gershon Kingsley in 1969 and later by Hot Butter, an instrumental cover band, in 1972. (If Gershon Kingsley or Hot Butter has any problems with the content of this video, I will glady and quickly take it down. I am just a fan.)

I first heard of "Popcorn" from Digger, a PC game by Windmill Software. Check out http://www.digger.org for in-depth information on Digger. Here's a video of Digger, notice the 4 color CGA graphics: http://youtu.be/7kz0_KWIMEU

Experimental Acid (2002-2003)

Dot-Calm

A remix of a song I composed in Fast Tracker II. I composed this remix in 2002 or 2003 with Fruity Loops 3, now called FL Studio.

The name is pronounced like "dot-com", inspired by an early Xbox LIVE commercial which shows many gamers meeting up and playing online, all with cool gamertags, and even voice modification. One of the guys had a gamertag "Dot-Calm". I loved it and used it!

The song itself was inspired by Right Here, Right Now by Fatboy Slim: http://youtu.be/ub747pprmJ8

Furthermore, "Right Here, Right Now" I first heard from Ray Chan's 3D rendering portfolio demo. Ray's a good friend of ours and he was going to be our first graphics artist for Saw Tooth Distortion, what eventually (10 years later) became Xona Games.
