It's just a drum beat and a bass-line, done with a C program Modern Chiptunes-style. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sketch_2006-08-27 http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sketch_2006-08-27 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:55:04 +0000 I covered Gary Numan's song, Seed of a Lie. I am getting used to playing instruments while singing; normally when I'm recording I do everything separately. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Seed_of_a_Lie_(Gary_Numan_cover) http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Seed_of_a_Lie_(Gary_Numan_cover) Sun, 28 Aug 2011 14:29:53 +0000 cc: OFT, http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Dear_SRJ_Limited http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Dear_SRJ_Limited Wed, 17 Aug 2011 01:39:39 +0000 I am in recording mode again. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Midnight http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Midnight Wed, 03 Aug 2011 00:44:20 +0000 Here are plain "a capella" vocal tracks for Abort, Retry, Fail? and a couple of other songs, in full quality WAV form. If you want to play around with them, go ahead! Mind the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Assorted_vocals_for_remixers http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Assorted_vocals_for_remixers Sat, 30 Jul 2011 23:35:13 +0000 Here is me singing a song. It's soft and made of synths. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Close_Your_Eyes http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Close_Your_Eyes Tue, 19 Jul 2011 17:03:28 +0000 This is an album I wanted to make since 2006, and most of the songs were written several years ago; I posted demos of Daylight and Long Distance in 2007, but for various reasons I abandoned the project. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Abort_Retry_Fail http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Abort_Retry_Fail Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:00:00 +0000 It is made of a keyboard and hands, and coffee. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Here_is_a_blog http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Here_is_a_blog Fri, 27 May 2011 20:02:36 +0000 YouTube link Electronic cover of Röyksopp's song, "Remind Me".

Normally the air in Beijing is very polluted, but when it rains, the smog clears away and it gets cooler. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Rain_in_Beijing http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Rain_in_Beijing Mon, 29 Nov 2010 18:00:00 +0000 Ambient electronic music with breakbeats, mostly 70-80bpm. Sounds like a game soundtrack though I haven't made it to be usable in a game. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Green_Light_Go_-_Game http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Green_Light_Go_-_Game Mon, 22 Nov 2010 18:00:00 +0000 I Radiohead'd a music.

The song is from his recent album Stop Becoming, which he gave me a free copy of. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sefiros_remix_swap http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sefiros_remix_swap Thu, 01 Apr 2010 17:00:00 +0000 I started this album in 2007 and finally finished it in 2010. It's a combination of electronic, rock and industrial styles. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Finishing_Touches http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Finishing_Touches Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:00:00 +0000 This is cuby's remix of my song Cinematic, from Plan B. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Cinematic_pH1_mix http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Cinematic_pH1_mix Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:00:00 +0000 A few improvised electronic songs I made with my Korg Kaossilator and Kaoss Pad 3. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Kaossilations http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Kaossilations Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:00:00 +0000 I made this EP for the Auld Lang Syne competition. Finishing Touches was "Plan A" but there was no way I was going to get that done before 2008. So, I made this in about five days' work, between Christmas and New Year. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Plan_B http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Plan_B Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:00:00 +0000 A remix of the Jenova theme from Final Fantasy VII, with some other bits from FFVII, FFI and Metroid Fusion. It has some guitars. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/The_Jenova_Convention http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/The_Jenova_Convention Wed, 06 Jun 2007 17:00:00 +0000 This was going to be the opener to an album called "Poly", which would have been an album of calm synth songs, except I abandoned the project long ago. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Polyphonic http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Polyphonic Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:00:00 +0000 This is an EP of remixes of songs by OverCoat (Scott Porter). The vocals are by Joanne Ostrowska, a friend from school. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/D_ReMiX http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/D_ReMiX Wed, 27 Sep 2006 17:00:00 +0000 I mashed up Gary Numan vs. Rico · Crazier, and sang on top of it. These were some of the earliest lyrics I wrote. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Live_Without_You http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Live_Without_You Sat, 20 May 2006 17:00:00 +0000 I did this for music tech coursework. Jason Lang was my physics teacher at the time, but has since formed a band with my music teacher, called Rider. They are fairly good! http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/My_December_(Linkin_Park) http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/My_December_(Linkin_Park) Wed, 26 Apr 2006 17:00:00 +0000 April Fools 2006, I covered five songs by Sefiros (Bryan Henderson), added a bunch of reverb, and applause samples. The result was Sefiros - "Live in Concert" which after a short while was spotted as a fake. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sefiros_live http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Sefiros_live Sat, 01 Apr 2006 18:00:00 +0000 This album was not made in a sequencer or multitrack recording program. It was made with a C compiler. I wrote programs that would create audio and write it to disk as .wav files. This is computer music at the most basic level. http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Modern_Chiptunes http://warfreak2.org.uk/blog/Modern_Chiptunes Wed, 27 Jul 2005 17:00:00 +0000
