Memories by Xarj - Music MP3
I recorded this song called “Memories” in 2004 so the style is quite different than my more recent creations. Good old piano, some simple effects, double vocals by myself, an effective melody, some slow beats and a cute overall feeling. Back in 2004 I thought this music kicked ass! I [...]

Empty Thinking - Music MP3 by XarJ

Electronic Power Sound! This song is 100% computer made and synthetic. I love the synth samples because of their simplicity and coherence in the song. I used Acid Pro and some special FX plugins to create the manual music sheet and record the instruments. Ok I admit, the piano [...]
