Later in spring/summer 2003 Marco Rochowski wanted to remix and produce the song as he felt it was really a master piece. This Airplay/Radio cut was entry at Assembly 2003 Vocal Music Competition.

My entry to the Spacesynth.de 1st music contest in 2005. This song placed 3rd on the contest and now finally available in full length for all of my fans.

AN1x, Juno-106 and JX-8P were used for certain sounds.

Song made during one evening for Mikrobitti 07/2006 music contest. Did not win, but was among the selected ones which are available for download from Mikrobitti's website.

Not sure if this song was ever released, but now it is. This is remix made in autumn 2005 by Mika Torvinen. A trancy spacesynth song.

This was my first remix for the remixing project. This is a re-mixed version of the remix I made back in April - arragment is still the same. I consider this as one of the best remixes I've made. Composed by Kevin Palivec and remixed by Jouni Airaksinen.

It has been a while since previous free song. Maybe little bit christmas feeling here.. but it wasn't really the intention in the first place. Enjoy..

Composed & Produced by Jouni Airaksinen (feat. Anne)

Sort of change of heart here in form of progressive melodic trance. I'm no pro on this genre and probably crossed several cliches ;) CS6x was used for some sounds.

Blue, the rocket blue, the launch is set for the moon.
Blue, the rocket blue, there is a seat for you too.

This is a remix of Amiga game "Laser Squad" theme music by Matt Furniss (1989). Many thanks for Matt for giving permission to spread this remix freely! Bridge between Spacesynth and Electro-breakbeat. Thanks for Marco Rochowski for sampling the Lore patch from his Korg M1.

Started as a remix however I got so carried away that it became original and more of a inspired song. Maybe little bit enigmatic, but yet melodic, melancholic. Maybe I mix longer version someday.

I made this song completely with Orion's internal synths and effects. Only the drum samples aren't originally part Orion Platinum. Changed Phaser to the new high quality Platinum Phaser (very good analog phaser emulation) in OP5.2. Added some analog FX and Vocoder sequence. Vocoder speech modulator is emulated with Ultran synth and some cutoff/resonance automation to create illusion of more or less random vowels. A bit Jarreish, which you might have guessed from the name already.

Very fast paced Drum & Bass remix by Giana-Brotherz. The remix has been played also live at one of their parties.

Okay, I talk about composing 80's synthesizer music in fresh modern way.. except I don't have any spacesynth here. So this song shall open the bank. :) Many thanks goes to Marco Rochowski for sending me the superb Juno-106 bass SoundFont and the great Linndrum kick and snare samples. So, turn up the volume, relax (or dance your heart off, whatever like better) and feel yourself Lost in Space!

This is remix of Mike Alsop's C-64 tune Wizardry. Can also be found from remix.kwed.org (rated 71%/43 votes; 1236 downloads) and from remix.overclocked.org. Original: C-64 Mike Alsop, 1983

On one beatuful day I generated with WaveLab few building blocks which are the base of all analogsounds. Clear sine-, square- and saw-waves not to forget the noise samples. With some help of MadTracker 2 this song was born. My song to Assembly '02 instrumentalcompo.

Pure C-64 music; means the original format is SID. God I love these sounds!

Must say this song was made in a real hurry on the release day. I had started the remix earlier, but the song really got it's form in a couple of hours.. Phew. Quite much Doom-feeling in this one. Not very typical from me, so please take some time to listen and comment :)
