News 4th May 2023:
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.

News 3rd Mar 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!

News 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.

News 8th Dec 2022:
Hi, again. Wow, yet another album released. But first I need to thank everyone who listens to my music, I got my spotify-wrapped yesterday and was blown away. I got a lot of positive statistics for all of my projects. So, thank you!


While it felt good releasing the last album to get some closure of the 4-album project I had, this release feels GREAT!
It feels like a gust of fresh air flew through my creative process and it gave me even more hunger for a productive future. I've been really exited about these song since the very first day I played around with a rework for the first of them. It's been a long lasting dream of mine to be able to release some of these songs in a fashion that does them justice, and I think I just made it. The most important song for me is #1, "New Wave of Fire". This song was originally made for my grunge-metal band Mutual Edification. We rehearsed it a few times back in 2001 and I still remember how to play the guitar riffs and the melody. Some songs just suck with you like that, I guess. While we had lyrics back in the day I figured I'd try something different just for fun, making it a more game-friendly "Megaman-like" metal. I got so inspirited while working on it that I started to remake several old songs as well. A few days later most of the album was already done. Many of the songs are new versions of old tracker-metal releases from 1998 (find them at modarchive.org). The song "Give Me Power" have been hiding in my unfinished projects folder since 1998. I also have to mention "Leaving Myself", a song made for the band One Future Plan back in 2002. It also had lyrics back then, but I think this version works better. Even the cover art is a rework from a old drawing I did in my early teens.

News 3rd Nov 2022:
And here comes the last piece of my five year old project! Success! Yeay!
           

I started out in 2018 with listening to almost all song ideas from my Dictaphone marked with the "random Swedish song" marker. The first step was to write all the lyrics, which gave me a lot of additional inspiration. After having around 80 finished lyrics I started to sort the projects after different feelings. The red album (2019) was to be the sad one, the yellow one (2020) got the crazy songs, the blue one (2021) had all the songs that I associate with work and then there was the green one (2022) that supposed to contain angry songs. Some songs were added late in this album and some songs were moved to other projects not yet released, but the core idea of fitting these songs into four different albums with different feel is still there. And then I recorded most instruments in "bulk", having days where I recorded half the albums vocals - for instance. But wait! These four albums doesn't combine 80 tracks!? No, some are still coming later and some might never get finished. I hope you enjoy this scrappy album. :)

News 7th Aug 2022:
It's time for another release! This time it's Detached Ignorance's turn. When planning this release I realized that it was better to focus on a few songs at a time instead of making it a full length album. Perhaps this is something that I will implement more often in the future. The songs are pretty straight forward even if I feel a bit confused about what to answer when asked the genre. I'm feeling OK with how they turned out even if I think I could make them sound even better if I put in a couple more hours work. This is, at the end of the day, just a hobby and not my main occupation. The biggest adventure of the Bombardment EP was, however, the cover. It took several months and engagement from a few sources that didn't deliver anything to the final product before I got the help I needed from my dear friend David Guvå (who had to remake his work 2 times due to hard drive errors and re-installations). I edited his rendered picture and added a more dirty feeling to it using vector tracing and coloring. Hope you like the songs!

News 11th Jul 2022:
A lot have happened since I last updated the site. The albums keep lining up and this time it's another Nerd Chills project that's up: Full Circle. I started to play around with vocoder synthesizers back in 2018. I made a few songs that I liked and came back to the theme from time to time until 2021 when I decided to make a full album out of the songs. Now I'm really pleased with a few of them. Hope you like them to :)

The next release I hope to get out soon is one with "Detached Ignorance". The music is done but I've had some problems with the album cover, trying to outsource the work without success and getting help from a friend who sadly deleted the files mid work in a hard drive crash while rendering 3D art. I'm in no hurry though.

Without actively searching any game projects I've managed to get another freelance gig. A cool little game with an arabic theme - something I've said that I would like to work on some day. Currently I've done two long (10min+) tunes for that game. I've also fixed up some old songs that got used in different sources. Another game that I've been involved with for some time now as well as a Counter-Strike tournament. Check them out here: @Matth33w_Dev and esportstudion.se .

The amount of streams on my song about Ronny @cyklaforlivet keeps on building and I hope to give him a few hundred for his cause. So thank you for listening to that song!

News 30th Dec 2021:
Happy new year! It's time to take a look at 2021 and what I produced and learned over the year. It's been a kind of depressing year with covid-19 ruining lives and plans for everyone, but for me it's also been another great year of growth and productivity.
Released tracks: 56
Finished tracks: 43
29 of them matches both categories

I started 2021 by releasing Gammis & Dronten's "GG Livet". It was fun to work together with others when mixing and switching ideas for the masters. Then I put all my effort in finishing the "Finn Fem Fel" album that I later released as Kondenskungen. I'm feeling OK with the result even if it felt more like a mass production a la the assembly line rather then putting enough thought into every song. Then came the big release for the year with the Detached Ignorance album "Half Emptiness". I made great strides toward better mixing and mastering but still felt that I came up short in the end. The album got to much bass and sounds bad in some speakers. I'm still really proud of most of the songs on that album however, just a bit sad that I didn't switch mastering tools before releasing it. But I did switch mastering tools, only after the Detached Ignorance album. I now use the Izotope mastering plugin: Ozone, and I love it. Because of Ozone I would like to say that the last album I released in 2021, the "Introvert Tankesmedja" by Gammis, has the best sound of them all. I did not put as much work on the latest album as I did with the "Half Emptiness" one, but it still sounds better in my opinion. So that's a witness of how much help I got from Ozone. I've always wanted to learn how to master songs when using references, and now I've started to learn it! Lastly I made more money from my streams this year. Even if I don't do music for the money it's still a neat little bonus. So thank you to everyone who streamed!

The best of my songs from 2021, from the producers point of view, will have to be "Gammis - Smutset i Stupröret". The day I recorded it was a great day in the studio, as well as the day I mixed it.

Looking forward towards 2022 I'm filled with excitement. I've felt more and more under 2021 that I would like to give the game music career another try, maybe that is something that will continue to grow in 2022 and hopefully grow into some interesting projects. I also have a long line of half done albums waiting to get finished. Some of them already have their album covers done. So the set goal is to continue to release a bunch of albums, but I'm also ready to pause those projects if a game music gig appears. Let's see what the future holds. In any case, there will be more tones out of me, That's a promise.

News 20th Oct 2021:
Hi there. A new album is out and I can gladly move on towards the next few projects in line. This one sound a bit better then my older albums in my opinion. A great deal of that is due to more focus in the mastering process. It's hard to be the artist, the recording technician, the mixer AND the master engineer of the same songs that you once came up with and recorded on your Dictaphone. But with great tools it's apparently possible. I switched over to iZotopes Ozone while mastering and I believe it gave great results.

This is the third of four albums in a planned collection with ideas I've recorded on my Dictaphone over the years. I collected them all in 2018 and started to work out some structure to the songs as well as writing out the whole lyrics and so forth. It was a really exiting project at that time and I promised myself that I would see it through until the end. Now, however, I have so much more material recorded that I could expand the collection with a few more albums with ease. The idea was first to sum up these Swedish songs into different feelings, making the album color represent the mood of the songs. After a while I realized that the mood idea wasn't going to happen. Instead I've sorted them in a different way: The first album was the red one, and it was the one containing the more serious and, frankly, depressing songs. The second one was the yellow album which contained a lot of the more "brain dead" songs, if you will. Now, here's the blue one, and the theme of this one is: job. I've had my night time job in more the 10 years now and I've learned a lot about people in these years. Almost all the song ideas for the album were either recorded at work or handle my thoughts about my night time job or the work we do to get paid in general. I'm particularly content with track 9.

News 10th May 2021:
I finally did it! After lying almost entirely idle and 99% done for half a year, I finally did some of the last tweaks to this "baby" and then released it. I started with the album in the spring of 2020 as a side project. Soon it became clear that it would be the main project of the year and indeed my "2020 baby". After approximately nine months it was ready for release. But I wanted to wait a bit longer for more mastering inspiration. Instead I got Covid-19 and didn't touch my studio for two months. Then the project grew cold on me. To be honest I really feel that I could have mastered it better in some "ways". But every time I've opened the songs this year, I've lost track of what those "ways" would be and instead I've winded up with a feeling of wanting to move on. I guess that I should have sent it to some professional mixer/master-er, But that would have cost me... I'm not there yet. I'm still really proud of my "2020 baby" and I hope that you'll take your time and listen to the tracks. I want to thank Salah Fatah for singing the choir on "Love Communication" with me. That contribution means that I didn't do everything on this album entirely alone, so thank you!

Fun fact: The only song on "Half Emptiness" that wasn't entirely made in 2020 was the song "Cut Out My Eyes". That song was written in 2004 for the band Mutual Edification. I wrote it at home but formed it together with the band at the spring rehearsals before our summer tour that never got to be. Since then I've never recorded even a little memory note from this song - until now. It feels really cool to be able to remember songs in this way and then make the song "real" almost 20 years after it was written. I have another song just like that in mind for a coming Detached Ignorance release.

Yo! Lately* I've been focusing a lot on the mixing and mastering parts of my productions. It has been interesting and I think that I've learned a lot under a short period of time. But it also has it's costs. It has been impossible to put the amount of work that is needed into all of my projects, which in turn injures my creativity. So I decided to cut down the fine tuning parts in some of the projects. First in line was the KondensKungen albums. While making song within these projects, I just create without a particular goal for each track. So, now I won't put to much work into making them sound the best that they can. It's just a pile of piled up creativity, really. This time I only used samples starting on the letter F. I'm happy for the help I got from my kids, my brother and my friend Zigge. Thank you!

News 21st Dec 2020:
Hi! Another year is about to end - and, as per usual, I bring you a small report of my musical actions. There have been some ups and downs throughout the year, but my main conclusion is that I've developed my mixing skills even further. A couple of setbacks, mainly a hard drive crash in November, made the quantity of finished songs and albums suffer. But the ones that didn't make it this year will soon see the light of day - so its no big problem. Here are this years numbers:
Released tracks: 34
Finished tracks: 35
25 of them match both category's

I could call 2020 "the year of numerous release-alias". I released Nerd Chills first album, I released EDM gammis first album (so the real gammis rock wont get mixed up with the EDM remixes). And then I also released a "regular" gammis album. But I've also worked on releases that will be released by "kondenskungen", "Detached Ignorance" and "Gammis & Dronten". So now I suddenly go by (too) many names.

Due to my ferocious activity - I guess - the company that helps me with my releases are starting to question some of my work. I've just recently got the EDM gammis album rejected because I didn't properly credit the original author and remixers. I'm trying to tell them that It's all me... well, hope they wont put me on hold forever with that "problem".

This year, I've invested a lot of money in good plugins for my DAW. It's great with cool plugins. Its even greater with cool plugins if you know how to use them. So I've invested a lot of my time in learning as well. Big creds to: fabfilter, valhallaDSP, waves, oeksound and "produce like a pro". A big thanks to my two kids, Ester and Séur, for participating in some of the songs that came out this year.

Perhaps some old person in Sweden will get this greeting to its full potential:
"Deeeeeet koooooommer mera, dudidudidudidudidududuuuuu"!

News 23rd Oct 2020:
Hi! Another release is done. This time I'm introducing a new project called "EDM Gammis". It's, as you can imagine, a "Electronic Dance Music remix project" of old Gammis songs. Most of the initial work was about combining new knowledge and creativity with old song ideas and recordings. That was really fun. I have chosen some of my Swedish songs that I thought deserves a better presentation than the rock productions from old. Some songs didn't make the cut, resulting in an short album that apparently identifies as a EP on the streaming services. This is the first time that I choose to cut some of the songs on a album while still feeling perfectly fine with it. The album title is a play on words with a pretty immature twist ("tolk" means "interpret" but "tork" means "whipe"). Even if this isn't my most serious release I'm still proud of the outcome. I'm most pleased with song 2: "Mamma". The original song had some potential but that recording was - for lack of better words - awful. Now I really feel that I've made a version that is worthy the heavy text that I wrote as a teenager. I hope you like it too!

Finally the next Gammis album is out. This album is not as dark and depressing as the last one in the planned Gammis series of four albums. Most of these songs would fit under the "mindless happy rock" genre, as many of the Swedish gammis songs of the past. I'm particularly happy with a few of the mixes here; "Salt i Min Fil", "Praktikant hos St.Per" and "Kul att Du Tyckte om Min Låt" mainly. I think they mark another step forward in my development as a music producer. It also gives me some extra warmth when my kids want to participate in my music.

Hi there! Half of the year has nearly gone and I still have no albums to present to you, but fear not! In fact it's a great year so far both in terms of productivity and creativity. I started off with listing four different projects that I made up goals for this year, I even let some of my fans vote for which project I would focus on first. Now, when this years first finished product is about to be released, I realize that this particular project wasn't even an option in that vote. When there's only the deadlines I make up for myself, there's always room for a creative outburst or two. :) But I have done a lot with the four initial projects as well. Now I'm currently waiting for other participants to do their parts in two of the projects while I'm taking my time to mix and master three other projects where  everything is already recorded - with perhaps one song as an exception. Keep in mind that when I write about different projects I mean full length albums in all these five cases, so there's a lot of work.

I took another look at the "about me" page and updated it a bit. Some new music projects and games added to the lists there as well as a little text part about my childhood and why music meant so much from early on.

In other news, My son came up with a brilliant idea today, so I made a hidden page section just to explain the idea a bit more deeply.

News 14th Dec 2019:
It's time for my yearly sum-up. I'm a stat-guy. I like seeing my work broken down into numbers. But not everything that is important when it comes to music can be measured in basic statistics, otherwise this entry would be a real downer. The "dream number" for my finished recordings this year was 88, but the real number turned out to be 17.
The numbers:
54 released tracks.
17 finished recordings.
5 of them match both categories.



With that said, I feel strangely contempt with what I've came up with this year. Instead of rushing out the albums that were waiting for release, I took my time and did them justice. When I finally was done with producing the "Glitterbengt was Here" album, I had less then half of the year remaining to focus on new recordings. I did not. Instead I started to manage some of my old songs even more rigorous. So, now I have three series of albums waiting to get made.

The first series is divided in three parts. It's inspired by a book I've written myself and will be released by Detached Ignorance since the lyrics will be in English. It contains some songs that I made back in 2012, but I'm still not finished with all the recordings to the first part. This first part, however, is my current main project and will hopefully get released in the first half of 2020.

The second series is divided into four parts. I asked my wife how she thought I should split all the songs I have in mind for these albums and she said that it's better to not mix the different themes and feelings too much. So I'll be keeping most of the depressed songs in one part, most of the really wacky and weird songs in another part and then hopefully get two semi-serious albums left in the end. The common thread that keeps these albums together in a series will be hard to detect for other people - i guess. Other then "Gammis" being the artist and the covers having a similar feel them, these songs all come from ideas recorded on my little Dictaphone around the same time span. So there's no real theme in the lyrics keeping all four albums together. Here's the first part:


The third series is the "Kondenskungen" albums. I loved making the first one and that album is the only one that I find myself listening to sometimes now after release. I will make more albums out of more letters in the future. ;)

Now, I will try to keep an open mind about what I can produce in the coming year. I think that I've found a good way to work now - with main focus on one project at a time until that one is released. There will come days when I suddenly work on something completely different then all the ongoing projects I already have, but that never matter when I only have my own imaginary timelines to follow.

Have a great 2020!

Another album done and released. This one contains a bunch of "pop-ish" songs with Swedish lyrics that I've created over the years 2010 - 2016. I have special memories attached to most of them, so it feels great to include them into a album now when they sound a bit better then the original mixdowns. When I've been talking to people about my music, I've realized that it's been a mistake releasing all of my past projects under the same artist name. It makes it hard to separate the projects and hard to give people a fair preview of my music.
I made the decision to release this album using my main artist name, and will only release material like this - pop/rock genre and Swedish lyrics - as Gammis in the future. On the bright side, there's not many unreleased mixdowns that require flat masters left, finally!

News 12th Feb 2019:

Hi there. My first album of the year is done and out on all "platforms". While I found myself surrounded by all the half done projects and remaster projects in the end of last year, I decided to take a while off from all ambitions and just create like in the good old days. Two months and 22 tracks later I found myself with yet another project waiting to get mastered. I struggled through the mastering with the help of a few friends and got the album DONE! Thank you: Henrik Petersén, Erik Gustavsson, Karl-Filip Karlsson and David Guvå.

As you can see, I decided to release this album with the alias "KondensKungen". Since I'm releasing music in such a wide area of genres and both songs with Swedish and English lyrics, I have decided to release different kinds of albums with different aliases. I'm keeping the "Gammis" name exclusively for Pop and Rock with Swedish lyrics. The "KondensKungen" projects will not be as serious. This particular release is made with samples and plugins on the letter "R" in my instrument library. There's so many sounds in my library by now, that this kind of challenge just makes an easier framework when making music. It has been a great way to learn what "R-sounds" I can rely on in the future.

Also, my brothers album is out! I've just mixed a bit and then mastered this, all creds to Joh Shouldersson :)

News 31st Dec 2018:
Time to sum up the year! So, this has been the BIG "Trying to learn to master"-year for me. I've released some older songs now when I finally found ways to polish them up into a OK state. But mastering music is hard work - and not as satisfying for me as some of the more creative phases of making music - so now I have a even bigger load of tracks, that are just waiting to get mastered and released, then I had in the beginning of the year.
The numbers:
43 released tracks.
77 finished recordings.
16 of them match both categories.

Sadly, there's been some big bumps throughout the year that slowed down the production. The two main problems was a throat sickness that lasted for two whole months (when I was supposed to record lyrics) and then my main music computer broke down - costing me ALL my savings and another month where I was unable to work properly (waiting for a sale on a iMac). I've also been working as a producer on a project made by my brother. Not being part of any recordings there - just the mixing and mastering.

After yet another game project got cancelled in 2017, I decided to take care of my own songs in 2018. Not actively hunting new game projects have left me with a mixed feeling, on the one hand I get to control and manage all my creative work as I see fit, on the other hand I'm not making it easier to reach my goal in that industry. But I'm confident with the decision. I have, however, realized that I'm never going to get finished with ALL of my own projects - that would take me several life times. So if I want to work with making music for games in the future - I kind of have to put down most of my own album projects. I still got a family and a paying occupation to think about.

Now, looking forward to a even more creative year: 2019. I will stick to the decision about not actively searching for game projects throughout this year to. I simply have to many darling-projects that just needs to get finished. I hope and believe that I can get more projects released 2019 then I got in 2018. There are three complete albums that are just waiting to get mastered as I write this, and then a lot more projects where just a few songs are done. And even if I have my doubts, I hope I can continue the trend in creating more new finished recordings. A dream number would be: 88.

Let's get this going...

So, I got called the day before this was going on air. David (AKA Dronten) wrote and recorded this song on his ipad and wanted me to master and tune it a bit. A few hours later the voices sounded OK, there was a new choir-boy and the sound felt atleast OK In my mind. It was fun to be a part of something bigger then my own projects.

News 10th Jun 2018:

2nd remaster is here! While still finding my groove around the mastering jungle I decided to take on some of the old Swedish leftovers in my local library (although I've released some of them in their pre-remastered state on my Youtube channel). There are no particular theme to this album but it still feels good to finally find a home for these songs. Some are just flat remasters since I cannot find the original work files, others are reworked in a bit more advanced fashion.

News 27th Apr 2018:

1st remaster done! This is an project recorded back in 2009. I felt that the general sound of the songs got so bad that I decided to discontinue the project and just release a few of the songs as singles. Now, nine years later, I've gained a bit more knowledge about mastering music and thought that the Moroten Oskar album deserved another try. It's a "flat" remaster - meaning that I just took the original mixdown and edited them from there. The cooledit project files is long gone. Hope you enjoy this weird EP. :)

News 11th Mar 2018:

Finally my kids first album is released! Ever since 2011 we have made a few songs per year on their initiative and now I felt it was time to sum the songs up into a whole album. Many of the songs were made in a similar fashion: I give them a beat and a couple of headphones, start a recording and then I leave the room. We had some copyright issues which prolonged the release but the whole issue turned out to be a error by the release company. I hope you can enjoy the sound of untamed creativity!

Thank you for your support during 2017. I finished 46 recordings during the year and started 51 additional recordings - not counting all the ideas on my dictaphone. My streamed music also generated a few bucks for a meal out with the family. I hope to reach a even higher number during 2018. With luuuv.

News 15th Dec 2017:

So, my second album of the year is out. It all started with me trying out something new in logic and one month later (November has always been my most productive month) I had a full length, 14 track, album finished. This is me going back to my electronica roots, with a bit of house/techno feel added. There are six totally new songs and eight remixes of old tunes on the disc. Track no. 9 is a remix of one of my first musical arrangements ever. Listen to it via the links on the discography area.

So, I made a Warframe related Christmas jingle. Seems that the point was writing a text, not recording a song. But anyways :)
