TOGoS's Music

I first started making music sometime in 2002 when I realized that I could hook up my dad's CZ101 to my MIDI in port and record stuff. The first (about 20, many of which were not very good) Mulkers were made by me clicking notes into Jazz++ and rendering my songs using TiMidity with EAWPATS 10/11/12. Starting with a remix of Mulker 21 and Into Moria, I have used Propellerhead's Reason (versions 2 and 3) softsynth/sequencer, sometimes using Audacity for sampling.

Since 2015 I've switched over to Ableton Live 9 (PA Sucks being my 'hello world' track, composed using the Push), which is a great program, but expensive, and I've found it harder to get into the composition flow that I had with Reason.

Most of my tracks are in a sort of artsy slowed down trancy style influenced primarily by nothing in particular, and secondarily by Underworld, Nine Inch Nails, Way Out West, and assorted video game music. More recently I've noticed similarities between my composition style and that of Deadmau5, but it was developed independently.

There's also this metadata file that gives some background info about my tracks and SHA-1 URNs, in case you're into that kind of thing.

You can download and distribute my music under the by-nc-sa CC license, or otherwise with permission.

Various subsets of my songs have been uploaded to YouTube, Archive.org, SoundCloud, and Spotify.

This is not a full listing, but only newer tracks that I've bothered to properly document. I plan to eventually add some of my older work.

You can also play all these tracks in Playlister.
