dvusMedia - When Darkness Comes
When Darkness Comes is a ambient-beat mix. It was released on my second mp3.com release "Neterland" in 2001. You can find a newly revised and re-mastered version HERE.

Store Window Reality
This song was originally written as a poem when I was about 15 years old [a long, long time ago (Fall of 1969?)]. It got a remake / re-do in the early summer of 2001 as a cyberpunk track.
The plucked sounds I programmed using FL Studio. The Guitar is a processed loop of my Mitchell Acoustic [made in japan Martin D-28 clone] Guitar. The vocal effects are from Antares Auto-tune tweaking the vocal pitch... before it became a wide spread vocal processing tool.
I remastered it again today from the original mix files. The mix was put together in Sony Acid Pro and Mixed down with Sony Sound Forge 10. You can find an MP3 of it HERE.

dvusmedia - Terpsechore
Terpsechore is the Muse of dance.
This version is a remix / remaster of the track which originally appeared on my 2001 MP3.com album "Neter land" [Neterland being the abode of the Egyptian Neters or "godlike powers"].
I don't expect that everyone will like it... it is after all "electronic"... but for me it is headphone ear candy... even if I have begun to lose my hearing. ;)
HERE she becomes a rather odd of mix of samples and beats heavily influenced by the folks that were then hanging about in alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo. I am in their debt [but then I'm always in debt].
Enjoy!

dvusMedia - Meditation with Variations on the Theme
Today's track is actually a three-bee
At the beginning of October 2000 I composed / mixed a track which was a kind of ambient something or other. It included among other things clips of a thunder storm I had recorded, some excerpts of my fooling around with a Yamaha DX-21 FM synth, and clips of my playing a clay pot... slow... contemplative... boring... meditative. It acquired the name "Meditation".
Cynthia, my spouse, asked me to put together a meditation something like "Meditation" but something more pleasant to contemplate so the track was remixed and morphed into "Cyn's Meditation"... But I wasn't quite satisfied and kept tinkering with the track until it morphed into another of my soundscapes which I named "Sunrise on the Saraswati"
You can find all three HERE remastered for your listening pleasure.
Now understand I had only been doing this kind of composing / remixing for a very short time [about three months at that time tho' I had been fooling with Electronic synthesizer music for about eight years by that time]. I had no idea [and still don't] know how to define the "genre" or "type" or what have you of these things I had begun to compose... To me if the track expressed what I wanted it to express why then I was successful. If a listener wanted to call it "ambient" or "techno" or even "junk" I am fine with that. Is this stuff music? That's in the ears of the beholder.
A music reviewer friend of mine, Gordon F of Audio-Bomb, could tell you far better than I whether this is of any value as a listener... At the time I was having a lot of fun as a composer and musician as well as a writer. The Chatsubo sure opened my eyes and ears to new things.. and so the music and mixes evolved.
