My music career has lasted a lot longer than my game-making career, to put it simply.
I started making songs in 2017 (first uploaded in 2018), which is about 3 years before I started making games!
You can find my music YouTube channel (EJMusic) by clicking here.
I may or may not have made the logo in about 5 minutes, and (at that time) did not think a background was needed.
Here, you can find all of the songs I haven't uploaded to my YouTube channel - including the Locked In Soundtrack.
To any professional music-based employers reading this: yes, I will make professional song names eventually 😊
Hopefully the new navigation system works well

Update to the music page
This music page never used to be artistic - how am I going to get people to listen to my music without abstract concepts and really weird album covers?Hopefully the new navigation system works well

Chill out
February 2021
It didn't need many 𝓶𝓾𝓼𝓲𝓬𝓪𝓵 𝓵𝓪𝔂𝓮𝓻𝓼, because it was a chilled song. So I didn't add many.

Nonono, this one is staying just here.
Sad Hannah
April 2021
I don't know why I called it that, but this song served as an early version of "Inside World" (from the new album)

One of my first steps outside of my electronic music comfort zone. I think it went quite well.

Something about synthwave. I don't really like synthwave, but I tried to make a song of that genre anyway.

Studio Florida

1. Reloaded
September 2022
A lovely song that is basically a remake of "Empty Light" from my last album. Much better. Came to me in a dream.
Quite a few improvements over the original, like the actual BRIDGE which gives you a bit of a break from the boring riff.

2. Look to the Future
January 2023
Switched from Ableton Live after I made this song. It was a sort of farewell. It serves as a very good last song I made with it.

3. New Horizons
January 2023
This is a lovely song, first one made in new program. The new program is the reason why I called the album Studio Florida.
I made it in about 2 hours. It has about 5 tracks. I spent most of that day figuring out the bizarre controls of the program.

4. Finally
February 2023
80s style, amazing song, took me a shamefully short amount of time - that only means one thing: that it's not as good as you'd think.
I was absolutely buzzin' when I made this song. I would say mostly rightfully, but I don't think it deserves tooo much praise. Message courtesy of How to be Humble When You're Just Above Everyone Else

5. Safer Outside
February 2023
A very lovely song that sounds like Autumn. Funny, because February isn't even in Autumn! What am I like!
I trialled making a song based on a picture (as in, I just took a picture from Google Images and made a song about it). Worked quite well, but again, just the lazy 808 drums.

6. Studio Florida
April 2023
Don't ask what the sound at the start was. I don't even know. Sounds disgusting though. Another experiment with adding more effects and strange sounds. Still not quite sure why I kicked off this experiment with the sound of someone's flesh bubbling.

7. Not As Good
April 2023
It's called Not As Good because, well, it's not the best song that I've made recently. The bridge is OK, but not much else.
Although now I think about it, the bridge is also kind of hard to listen to.

8. Garage Band
May 2023
I don't know what the name could be alluding to. Garage Band? That's a phrase I've never heard in my life.
It could not at all be related to Studio Florida, could it?

9. Project Gegevensmap
May 2023
Recreated in another music program, based on a draft I made in Ableton Live 😢. Rest in Peace.
Fun fact: Project Gegevensmap just means Project Data Folder, as in the Data Folder for the FL Studio project I had for it. The number of times I had the popup that says "Project Data Folder is missing" inspired the name.

10. Wipe and Restart
June 2023
Originally made for a YouTube video that was never made. Was supposed to be some time-lapse progress music, or something like that.
You can tell when it's a lazy song because I'll just slap an 808 for the drums and shove the volume all the way up. "Let the limiter do the talking." Nobody said that.

12. Six Letters
June 2023
"The MG ZS EV has six letters, and the same number of wheels, if it had six wheels"
A song I made for a video review of a car (the MG ZS EV). Quite a good song that took around 1.5 hours. I especially like the little pinging notes once the drums start.

13. Thank the Miles
August 2023
I have a bone to pick with Mr Miles. If you are going to make a game and ask someone to make music for it, then you should PROBABLY just out of courtesy ACTUALLY START MAKING THE GAME!!!!
It's such a good song compared to my other acoustic ones.

14. Mutant Superweapon
August 2023
Mutant Superweapon... that sounds like it could be the subject of a game... oh wait, it's the SAME GAME which NEVER EXISTED.
It is an epic song which was meant to play at the climactic end of the game, and I was soooo pleased with it, but it was never used.

15. What's the Sound
August 2023
Another song from the non-existent video game. This one was meant to sound "robotic" so I chose some dissonant chords and harsh-sounding synths. Oh, the knowledge and music theory I put into this. GIVE ME THE HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK!!!!

16. Back to the Start
October 2023
Quite similar to one of the first songs in this album. Also using the pitched-down Linn snare that I was obsessed with for way too long. Hopefully you can ignore that and get into the groove of my amazing songs 🎵

Thank you to C418 for letting me "magpie" your song format. For those of you who are interested: please stop being interested. Do not look for the song format I copied.

18. Remember This
October 2023
A (arguably much better) recreation of "Always There" from my old music GitHub page. I am much happier with this one than the original, for some reason, despite using roughly the same methods as the original. Who cares though?

19. The Studio Lives On
October 2023
Forgive me if this song is slightly worse than some of the others. It was basically a "filler" in order to get to 20 songs in the album. I tend to do that a bit too often.

1. Kickstart
February 2021
For my second song made with Ableton Live, it's a big step up from the first.
For reference, my first song made with Ableton Live was an electric piano and a drum kit, playing the exact same thing, for two and a half minutes.

2. Chase
March 2021
Features an electric guitar, some synth choirs and sounds quite empty (not much going on).
I would say this is ALMOST a step up from the last one. Although it's got a similar number of tracks going at once, it still has a more interesting beat and is less repetitive.

3. The Inside World
April 2021
More of a chilled kind of song, but a bit more upbeat than "Chill out". Features a few more effects which I just clicked and dragged to the song.
I made it just after the weird Sad Hannah one. At this point I was just proving to myself that I hadn't ruined my career in music.

4. Midday Sunshine
April 2021
Another chilled song - at that time, I really wanted to make a kind of relaxed song with kind of jazzy chords.
Inspired by some songs off the YouTube audio library. Yes, I'm aware that it's an incredibly low bar.

5. Burnout
April 2021
This was based off a random dream I had that was all about Subnautica, because I played too much Subnautica.
Honestly, it's too repetitive for even me to listen to. Listen to the first song in Studio Florida, it's so much better! -EJMusic Official

6. Heating Up
April 2021
This is a ... song. Not my best work. But at the time, yes, very much my best work. I had only recently figured out what a synthesiser was.

7. Late Night Drive
April 2021
A song that I randomly came up with the drums for, and then built on.
This was, in my opinion, the best song I had made so far. Mainly because I created the snare sound, something which I thought I was never capable of doing!! Dream big, people. Maybe one day you can make your own snare.

8. Dark Stars

Another chilled (kind of) song, probably the closest I have come to actual chill-genre music.
The last installment of my "I need to make a chill genre song" phase, featuring tracks 3 and 4!!

9. Disco Nights
May 2021
A song that has a riff based off 2 drum sounds. I changed the pitch of them to make it sound cooler. 😎
Other than that, a fairly alright song with a lovely major twist in the middle 😊

10. Neon Roads
July 2021
There's not much to say about this song, apart from the fact it was made in a newer version of Live.
It does have a nice kind of 80s rock/pop style but that's kind of let down by how generic that genre is these days !!

11. Hit at Dawn
December 2021
This song was my first song in a long time, and did not sound very good until recently (July 2022) when I re-arranged some stuff and other stuff, you know? Like the old "adding reverb" trick to make your drums and stuff sound less horrible!

12. Get Back
December 2021
I made this one with a freshly-installed Ableton Live pack, 1 day after I made "Hit at Dawn".
The pack was called something like Synthwave by Mode Audio. Don't know the specifics.
Have also uninstalled Ableton Live at the time of writing.

13. Nothing Left
December 2021
I created this 1 day after "Get Back", using the new Ableton Live 11 Intro (not Lite)!
As I do with a lot of songs, this was just a way to prove to myself that the new version was not a waste of money.

14. How it Was
March 2022
Wondering why this is so long after "Alone"? It's because I was making the Locked In OST at that time.
Locked In (if I remove it from this website) was a game that I made for about 6 months and then gave up on. Like most projects.

15. Pain is Gain
April 2022
Now this is a song that I enjoyed making, and enjoy listening to. Don't like it? Well, that's your opinion, but you can still just leave. Now. Off you go.
Update 2 years on: it's still an alright song, but I won't be offended if you don't like it. Because then I would be offended at myself. WHAAAT!!!

Get to Work! What a good name for a slightly motivational song that doesn't have many (if any) major or happy sections!!

17. Shining Sun
May 2022
I'm not sure how much I like this song. It's upbeat, which is nice, but it gets a bit repetitive. I also leaned a bit too far on the synth brass sounds, as I did with most songs I made with Live.

18. Contemplation
May 2022
I made many different improvements to this song, and in the end there were 5 versions. I really didn't like the 5th one, so here is the next best.
One of my better songs, in my opinion. And that's not because I'm a manic depressive and can only listen to sad songs.

19. All is not Lost
July 2022
This is a song that I really enjoyed making and listening to, and even considered submitting it for a music "thing". If my memory serves me correctly, I did submit it, but then sent another song as backup. No I don't have dementia.

20. Cruising Along
August 2022
An 80s-style song that was, surprisingly, not made in the 80s. I was slightly inspired by Posy (the Dutch man who makes completely random videos!!!!!) and his 80s songs, but mine is more general and upbeat. With no vocals obviously.
