Episodes
-
They Move
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Empires"; download at https://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/empires/ Struggled with this one for a bit - new synth and general ennui, mostly, but in the end I guess it ended up sounding like Burial Based Lifeforms.
-
Depth Charge
Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design demo "Under": https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=95485 Been a while since I did music, really; I wanted to do something that was very techy and not very melodic - obviously I failed at both of those things.
-
Not In It
Soundtrack for R>V>LV>R (https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=91659) I've been listening to a lot of https://soundcloud.com/skelermusic okay?
-
...Now You Don't
Winner of the Revision 2022 Executable Music competition; download original version at https://files.scene.org/view/parties/2022/revision22/executable-music/gargaj_-_now_you_dont.zip This was a massive struggle due to, well, 2 years of pandemic fatigue and general lack of inspiration, energy…

!a(drill)
Soundtrack for the Function 2021 winner demo "cöncept": https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=89840 - originally a 12ch tracked XM. So this was a tough one to work on; I really wanted something era-appropriate for a DOS demo, and just finding what the right tone was, what the right sound was, and...
-
Three Steps Back
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Clean Slate" (https://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/clean_slate/), eventual winner of both the 64k Intro Competition and the Party Favorite prize at the Revision 2021 online demoparty. Download at http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj_-_Three_Steps_Back.flac…

A Thousand Machines
Another one of those tracks that sat in the dark for a few years and then found its way into a demo somehow: https://demozoo.org/productions/284062/ Download: http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj_-_A_Thousand_Machines.flac
-
Tether
Soundtrack for "escalation" https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=86934 Probably some of the best sound design I've done so far. (Big up to Access To Arasaka.) Download: http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj_-_Tether.flac
-
Zero Sum Game
Dark cinematic breaks for the Revision 2020 (Online) executable music competition. Download at http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/gargaj_-_zero_sum_game.zip - re-experience at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/589941975?t=2h22m45s Started pretty late on this one, had many false starts, couldn't decide on a...
-
Massive Aggressive (feat. MC Fantom)
Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design demo "PILEDRIVER", winner of the Function 2019 demo compo: https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=82882 - featuring MC Fantom (https://soundcloud.com/subculture-revolution) on the mic. Yeah. If this is what you wanted, this is what you got. Nominated for the Best...
-
Imprint
Soundtrack for the 360 video animation "In The Mind" by Veronika Harangozó: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PllxQGa9S9E I've been approached for this through a mutual friend; the brief was to score an animation with electronic music that accompanies schizophrenia and hallucinations - after some...
-
Case In Point
Winner of the Revision 2019 executable music compo; download at http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/gargaj_-_case_in_point.zip and probably one of my favourite tracks I've done. reLive at http://relive.nu/reLove/#track-1-EH-X8 or https://www.twitch.tv/videos/414283849?t=0h49m1s Had the beat lying…

Everything Repeats
Soundtrack for the 2019 Function demoparty invitation: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=81109 This is a few years old actually, but hasn't really been utilized until now; it was essentially my attempt to take a stab at the "modern" progbreaks sound (basically https://soundcloud.com/retroid and...
-
Unresolution
Soundtrack for "Reboot": http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=79182 This was one of those rare situations where I had a visual design for a demo well before I knew how I wanted it do sound like - I went through 2-3 different approaches (initial tries were somewhere around the Gridlock territory)...
-
The Color Outside The Lines
Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design demo "Along For The Ride" (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=78053) What can I say, I love https://soundcloud.com/existstrategy
-
Purge (Cinematic Trip-hop edit)
Soundtrack for the breakdown reel for "When Silence Dims The Stars Above" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q0Y5zCGUQ4) ; a remix of https://soundcloud.com/gargaj/purge When Zoom suggested the idea of doing a breakdown reel, I figured we could either use the original track (which wouldn't have...
-
Purge
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "When Silence Dims The Stars Above" (http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/when_silence_dims_the_stars_above/) I was deathly afraid of this one, it just seemed like a massive undertaking that I wasn't qualified for or didn't have the technology developed for…

Re:Strain
Soundtrack for http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=74694 Distorted and glitchy, because fuck everything really. Also, I seem to be running out of minutes.
-
ICL
64k track; http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=72755 Gimmik rules. Fun fact: some of the glitchy sound design were originally rejected from https://soundcloud.com/gargaj/unintended-consequence
-
Through My Veins
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Vessel" - http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/vessel/ I was so incredibly nervous about this; doing "emotionally charged" music on cue was something that I felt was way out of my comfort zone, and I wasn't sure if I was up to the task - I especially struggled...
-
Margin of Error
Soundtrack for the F!M&ÜD cooperation of the same name (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=68775); second place at the Demobit 2017 demo compo. I really wanted to do a deep/dark breaks track for a long time with a nice long breakdown, so I suggested to Pasy to work on something together and I'm...
-
Blackout in Effect
Making breakbeat harder, making hardstyle smarter; winner of the Demobit 2017 music competition. Essentially this is Commence/Collapse 2 - similar motivations, similar elemental force. Download at: http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/gargaj_-_blackout_in_effect.flac...
-
Unintended Consequence
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy intro "Universal Sequence" (http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/universal_sequence/), a sequel to 2006's Chaos Theory. Download at: http://conspiracy.hu/files/Gargaj_-_Unintended_Consequence_-_Universal_Sequence_soundtrack.mp3...
-
Impending
Audio/soundscape for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Darkness Lay Your Eyes Upon Me": http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=67106 Additional sound design by Zoom who at one point said "Just pull the LFOs all the way up" and it sounded cool. We decided early on as to what we want the intro to sound like,...
-
Operation: Impact
A little style experiment that ended up as a demo: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=65605 Pretty sure I was the first to do this? I dunno. Still looking for a good genre name. Download from http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj__Operation_Impact.ogg
-
Onwards Fading Future
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k "Offscreen Colonies" available at http://conspiracy.hu/release/64k/offscreen_colonies/ This was done in a very short time but it was all the more fun and challenge to work on this - the brief was "slightly retro, uplifting, slowish", so I tried to make it sound...
-
Dissipate
Blimey, I make a lot of ambient, don't I? Actually this track was made years ago for Kusma as a replacement for https://soundcloud.com/gargaj/rude-munch-sauce which he thought didn't fit his effects. The intro never ended up happening, and I shelved the track, until recently:...
-
Hollow Spaces
Just another track I made I wish I haven't. Eventually wound up in a demo: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=64163
-
Pressure Pattern
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k "Supermode": http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62848 In all honesty, I feel weird about this one. There's nothing WRONG with it per se, but it feels a bit... unexciting. In the end it served the purpose though so I guess that's something. Download at...
-
Composite
Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design 64k "Concord": http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62194 I actually really like this one. The intro itself is fully procedural and I wanted to do some tweaks so that the music would change every time you run the intro, but it just never happened. Maybe some other...
-
Ground Up
16k executable music for Solskogen 2012. I might not have been in the best of moods nowadays. In any case, big up to http://soundcloud.com/rawthang ! Download: http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/gargaj-groundup.zip Obligatory reLive link: http://goto.relive.nu/track-1-5W-u8

Necrophone - Az Apokalipszis Kannibáljai (Gargaj remix)
A fun-remix-turned-serious I did for some friends over at Necrophone. Not exactly the kind of stuff I'd normally make, but hey, I guess I was listening to too much Suicide Commando at the time. Get the full album at https://necrophone.bandcamp.com/album/hal-lh-rg-s
-
colorStar - Falling (Gargaj remix)
The remix that won the colorStar remix contest in early 2011, and was subsequently released on the remix CD "Komplementer". Still one of my favorite pieces I've done; as usual a bunch of stories with this one too. I think I was very lucky in many ways when this came about: some people went as far...
-
The Break Goes On
Executable music entry for Revision 2011, which it eventually won. About 27k including everything, most of it being the movie sample which you probably can't make out unfortunately. This track was a tricky one to do - I had to go against a lot of my preconceptions of how or why should I make…

-
The Rewind
Soundtrack for the Conspiracy 64k intro "Actuator" Download a WAV-writer at https://conspiracy.hu/files/music/ak28r_wavwriter.zip I guess I took the "make something like this" mission statement slightly too literally on this one: http://soundcloud.com/kraddy/steppin-razor

Grimesphere
Soundtrack for the Ümlaüt Design 64k "Träsh" Download at http://gargaj.umlaut.hu/music/Gargaj__Grimesphere.ogg This track came about when one day I was wondering if we should make a 64k intro and what the concept would be. Eventually I remembered that back in 2003, TGD made a parody of our naming...
