[Music] A small amount of my often strange, genre-defying audio excursions

Although most of these songs were uploaded withing the past couple of months, all of them excluding "Ludus (Spoons In Your Eyes mix)" are rather old.
I'll get around to uploading new ones soon enough.
I'm not sure what kind of reception my music will get here, seeing as the majority of posters are composers who work in more traditional realms of music, while I'm primarily a producer who creates more electronic-sounding tracks by experimenting with different techniques of manipulating different forms of audio.
I make relatively heavy use of samples, but I rearrange and reshape them, omit notes, chop them up, shift the pitch on parts of them, and apply studio effects where I want.
I extract tracks from hundreds of different songs, render them unrecognisable for what they are, and create seamless loops out of them.
I program my own drums and I do MIDI sequencing and synth sequencing... but many people have difficulty appreciating such methods, especially now that the availability  of certain programs has polluted the world with a deluge of wannabe producers and "electronic artists."
However, I am serious. I do in fact work primarily from my computer(s), but I'm a guy who gets approached by musicians and even hip-hop "producers" who want me to produce what they've written.

Phew. I just felt like I had to write that.

Anyway, my music has proven to be enjoyable to those with all kinds of different tastes, so go ahead and give it a listen, download the mp3s and whatnot, then tell me what you think.

Not a single post here yet? That's a damn crime. The guy had the balls to sing, for fucks sake. +rep'd ten times because I'm a mod and I can do that.

Be kind, everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

*actually has worse rep than before, somehow* lol

Oh, Arrow, I did some work on the song you sent me. It's attached to the post, sounding brilliant.
I made the oboe/vocal substitute into a melodic synth lead, and replaced the actual lead synth, the saw wave, with a violin ensemble. Hope you don't mind.

It almost sounds...like slowishy grindcore now. XD I dig it! :3 I still feel like some of it's original feel, but that may be because of the tempo. Plus, where the other one was more like CHUGGACHUGGACHUGGA this one flows more. That's not bad, just different. :3

Did you intend for the song to be like CHUGGACHUGGACHUGGA?
It's supposed to sound like the original, only non-MIDI-y.

Listen to the drums. I'm proud of them, because I couldn't get the MIDI drum map to sound realistic with VST, so I programmed them completely from scratch using an assortment of one-shots, while maintaining the same patterns of the original.
