Welcome!
I'm Gammis. This is my homepage. I make music for
games. I've composed over 1000 songs and tunes over the years
and it seems that I'll never stop creating, I'm just one of
"those" guys I guess. My main goal with this page is to easily
show some of my work for my future co-workers in the gaming
industry. It is also a space where I intend to gather all that
I've created over the years, just for fun. I hope that you
will enjoy your stay!

A
double release! Today I release two new albums at
once. The first one are an EP with songs that was removed
from the latest Gammis album. I removed them mainly
because I thought they deserved their own themed release.
These songs are about traffic sense and driving issues.
Sometimes it feels like I could write a song about peoples
incompetence in traffic every time I put myself in a car -
you feel me?
The
second album is a nerd chills album with songs made for a
game that I worked on back in 2017. I didn't want my work
to get totally forgotten even if the main programmer
abandoned the project.
Benouterna:
Game Music.
Started in 2017, released
in 2023.

The
first update of the year! Hi, it's time for another
album to get dropped! This time it was Detached
Ignorance turn, which meant a lot of production work for
me. I'm happy with the result though, and I think that
I've reached jet another level in my mixing and
mastering knowledge. I got a new record with the song
"Who are You", but not the kind of record that I'm proud
about. I saved it as 40 different versions before I
finally got tired and released the album even if I felt
that "Who are You" could be mixed and mastered better
still. I am proud of the guitar solos on that track
however. Big thanks to everyone who helped me listen to
the sound of the tracks and even bigger thanks to the
guest artists: Promise To Panic, Ahnna Guthler and
Lemonride. Thank you!
Same as You:
Various Rock, right?
Songs written in
1999-2021, released in 2023.

30th Dec 2022:
Happy new Year!
Another year is coming to its end and as per usual it’s
time for me to summarize my achievements. The first
feeling that comes up is happiness. 2022 has been a
joyful year for me as a musician. It has been a creative
year. It has been a productive year. It has been another
year full of learning. There has also been a lot of
feedback and some fun surprises when it comes to my
audience.
The numbers:
I’ve taken a slight step backwards in productivity
compared to last year when it comes to finished song
projects - with 33 songs finished (2022) compared to 44
(2021). But I have a lot of songs nearly complete that
will get finished in 2023 so that number is a bit
misguiding. Some years are more about finishing existing
projects rather then starting new ones, but I feel like
2022 have been a year of both. I’ve officially released
4 full albums, 2 EPs and one single over the year. All
songs released this was: 52. I’ve started new song
projects in logic 149 times in 2022. That is one more
song started in a DAW then the year before. The numbers
of ideas recorded on my Dictaphone are too many to count
at this time. The most frustrating part of the year (but
still pretty fun at times) has been trying to sort all
those Dictaphone ideas.
The Songs:
Some songs released in 2022 have reached their full
potential and made me really happy. Some didn’t deliver
what I hoped. Some songs became dearer to me after
release when others showed their appreciation. 2022 top
three songs for me:
1. New wave of Fire
2. Full Circle
3. Ronny Cyklar till Norge
Most disappointing was: Den Sociala Hierarkin, a song
that I released just to get done with the album rather
than taking my due time with all the tracks.
The Response:
The first time I ever tried to promote any of my songs
via a promotion service was in 2022. Because of this, my
audience have grown with several hundred percents for a
couple of projects, namely Gammis and Detached
Ignorance. But one funny thing is that Detached
Ignorance started to grow a lot even before I used any
service because of one the songs making it into some
playlist in USA all of its own. Another funny thing is
that two other projects - that I haven’t tried to
promote yet (Nerd Chills and KondensKungen) - have made
themselves an audience on their own throughout the year.
As of today, Detached Ignorance has a growing group of
listeners in Brazil, USA and in Japan. Nerd Chills grows
the most in USA and Germany. KondensKungen grows the
most in USA, Australia and France. And Gammis had 88
different listeners from my neighbouring town Stockholm
the last month. I will always produce music since it is
my passion. So it’s not vital for my music to get
recognized. But it is cool. It especially warms my heart
when someone reach out and write to me about what one of
my songs means to them – thank you again!
The Tech:
I have become more familiar with my new mastering
program: iZotope Ozone. It has helped me to complete my
tracks a bit faster then before and made a slight
improvement in sound. The biggest step I’ve taken as a
producer this year, however, is not in the mastering
department. I’ve finally reached some core understanding
when it comes to fabfilters Pro-Q 3 and its dynamic EQ
side-chain possibilities. This great revelation came
late in 2022 so none of my previous releases have any of
this. In my coming releases, however, I hear the
technique in action clearly.
The Future:
So, looking forward, what are my thoughts about next
year? As a producer I still have a long way to go until
I reach the perfect sound for all my songs, but the
latest step with dynamic EQ side-chain will be a game
changer to many of my rock songs. I will try to learn a
bit more when it comes to stereo mixing, mainly how to
bring some sounds out to the sides while vocals, bas and
core drums still cling to the middle. I will try
reaching this using the pro-Q 3 and a new program for
me: the bx_solo. I will not say for sure, as these
things have a way to change over time, but I see a
couple of releases for both Nerd Chills and Gammis
during 2023. The first release, however, belongs to
Detached Ignorance. And that’s a promise.
