Bitbear

With the foot firmly placed on the gas pedal, @ModuloOne has forced this fantastic night drive remix of "Sunset Through The Rain" into existence.

Bitbear's contribution to TRSAC 2025's Oldschool Music Competition. This song was originally made in Renoise with lyrics and vocals in mind, but as I've been struggling with insomnia the last months, I've focused on exercise to exhaust my body such that I'm able to sleep. This has given much less time to make music than I would like, and the vocals are thus still incomplete. Also, to my surprise,...

Inspiring horn and vocal samples forced the Planeswalker into existence. He now roams the realms of spacetime, crossing between the dimensions of reality. Completed some time in 2021, the song was mixed down and used in the demo "Chemistry" by @ninjadev-music released at Black Valley 2024, ranking 2nd in the Newschool Demo Competition. Made with #Renoise. https://ninjadev.github.io/chemistry/ http...

My contribution to the newschool music competition of the last Solskogen ever – Solskogen 2020 Sunset Online.

Move! Bitbear's music entry for the demoscene party Solskogen 2015's Newschool Music Competition. The first sketch of the song was started many years ago and then placed in hibernation until the night of Thursday 8th of July, where I finally had some time to attempt doing a track for Solskogen's Newschool Music Competition. I brute forced myself through the night and produce an arrangement-wise co...

Bitbear's entry to Kindergarden 2014's Dance Music Competition. Placed 5th. Vocals from the 1955 Robert Aldrich movie "Kiss me deadly".

And do you know what resurrection means? It means Raise The Dead. And just who do you think...

My Newschool Music Competition entry for Solskogen 2014. I ended up in 6th place, which I'm quite happy with considering how close I was to not submitting the song at all. I'm really not satisfied with how the bridge turned out, but I hope the rest of the song compensates for it sounding so horrible. The intro of the song came about approximately six months ago while thinking about how lucky I was...

Soluble Temper is a rather randomly named song (naming is the hardest thing in both composing and programming) created over a blippy background lead, accompanied by a sliding guitar àla ATB's signature. As with all songs on the album, this tune is created in Impulse Tracker 2.14 on MS DOS.

Beveled Edges is a simple trance tune created on a piano-lead in the break in the middle of the song and with a start and end that fills it up with a compress-delay-xylophonic-ish sound.

Spiteful Experiments' inspiration was the vocal "aaahh" sound being played throughout the song. I found a couple of more voice samples from an old movie that I thought sounded cool and whipped together this tune.

Helium is a light-hearted, short dance tune. I hope it lifts you up the way it did with me when I made it!

Soaked in Orange is a lighthearted jazzy tune I conjured based on some samples that inspired me to create something a bit different from the usual EDM stuff I do.

Manhattan was created not long after a school trip to New York. Finding great instrument samples in a sample pack inspired me to create something more orchestral and less electronic.

Out of Range is an orchestral trance tune I made after falling in love with a violin pluck sample and creating what I thought was a pretty rad baseline. Piling violin and guitar leads and beats on top of that and this is what you get.

You could call the fast-paced lead my signature, because it's in almost all my songs, including this one. I can't really explain the title – it's just a title.
