jast's Music Directory (tm)

You are looking at various pieces of music I made Back In The Days (until around 2000). Enjoy. (This page last updated for real in 2008 and in hindsight some of the commentary is a little awkward... but now it's too late, the bit has been cast.)

• A Different Room To Go Into. I don't remember how I stumbled across this title. This is one of my earliest works. Some players will delay the drumloop, making it sound rather dodgy. Sorry for that.
• CONet Theme. I think I like this best. One of the last modules I made. It's a good sample of all my experience with "tracking".
• End of File. A term known by most computer nerds, EOF is "The End" of virtually everything. I wasn't that depressed, though.
• Flimbo's Quest Theme. A remake of the title song of an old computer game for the infamous Commodore C-64. I suppose the original is better than this, though. I was bored when I made it.
• King Of My Castle, an electronic remake of the song by... uh... can't remember. Whamdue Project? Whatever. Has some original bits included.
• Low Mood. I had to try again, and again I failed. Just before the end, it stops being quiet. I grew frustrated and stopped continuing it.
• Optic Perfume. I was obviously desperate for using a bad oxymoron as a title. Actually, I think it can be interpreted as a weird interpretation of visual styling or design of appearances.
• PeXT Theme. I made this for the "about" dialog of some sort of patching application (poor man's xdelta with a fancy interface) and which, as far as I know, never got released. Tough luck.
• Some Intro. One of my personal favourites. I like to believe the composition has professional quality (the samples obviously haven't).
• Some Other Intro. This wasn't ever designed to be used for anything, but I still called it "intro1". I have no idea why I didn't think of a better name. It's not that bad, actually.
• Technics revival. What if machines, after giving up the ghost and being shipped of to rust in a dumpster, were granted a second life? I don't know, and this track won't give you the answer, either.
• World of Dreams, an attempt at something more quiet. A failed attempt, of course; it gets louder very soon.
• Yes. If you've realized the unexpected truth, there's no point in denying it. Just go ahead and tell yourself, "yes, it's true," and everything will be fine.

  How to play

  To play most of these songs, you need a so-called module player. MikMod and Modplug qualify (but the latter is better). Additionally, Winamp and XMMS have plugins for this that seem to be in their default distributions.

  Can't find a decent player? For each of the links above, replacing the file extension with ".ogg" will give you an Ogg Vorbis version of the file which you can play in players such as VLC and XMMS (and pretty much every media player except for some Windows ones).
