Composition characteristics:
 
21 platform camper 1:37 (120 bpm)
  based on: changing the drum samples to atari pac man sounds
  surprise factor: - nearly pizzicato strings
(by just adding the slightest amount of distortion and reverb),
- digital noise sweep
  synth sounds: - piccolo and pizzicato,
- very classical feel in a nice combination with video game percussion
  feel: warm electronic

  feel: funk disco
     
23 kan zo niet langer i (81 bpm)
  based on: make a really commercial, boring waltz with a very predictable melody line

- the "irritation bar"
  synth sounds: - low pass filtered and distorted casio perc.
  feel: waltz music for childrens tv
     
24 space (60 bpm)
  based on: commission: composition based on x-files 3-13 episode 'Syzygy'.
theme: "all the energy of the universe converged into one point".
i used shepard's tone - dark cold space filled with too much energy.

- loads of reverb on the percussion
  synth sounds: - headcleaners
  feel: harsh, cold, empty and dark soundscape

26 zitrone schnitzel 2:08 (120 bpm)

- toms
  synth sounds: - hollow sound
- pinched splatter

27 the future music of tomorrow 1:25 (60 bpm)

  synth sounds: - sine + fast delay
- ground loop
  feel: 50's ad music

30 boai (60 bpm)

  synth sounds: - basic saw
- harsh wow sound
- sacrificing one synth for cowbell sound
  feel: 808 hip hop
