New Creations, Remixed Originals, etc
This playlist is a track list of most of the newer creations published on this page. To find the older and legacy tracks, you need to scroll down a bit.
Tornevall Rises
I realized that to simplify publishing, I needed original content since remixes and covers come with complicated licensing issues. In November 2022, I got Reason Studio after seeing how far Propellerhead had advanced. Although I was initially concerned about adapting to the changes, it turned out to be fantastic. Now, I’m creating both original content. I am also remixing my own music, which is already composed. I use Reason as my primary tool.
Singles / Albums (and some remixes)
This section showcases compositions that eventually be on Spotify. It stores both current projects and those that move to bigger platforms.
2024
In 2024, my music has gained new momentum. This is due to a deeper understanding of Reason software. I have also had more time to dedicate to it. Additionally, the use of AI to add lyrics without singing has made the process more colorful.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
I assume you know the TikTok challenge “1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8”, which involves matching movements to these numbers. This version, found on BigMerla’s, has a distinct beat that turned it into a new piece. It’s made even more interesting with “traces of AI” refining the sequence.
Tug of War Third Edition (2024-06-24)
Back in a reggae style has elements from the first release. It includes added jungle influences. The track features Drum & Bass beats and reggae vibes. The beat and melody are new and original, with lyrics inspired from ChatGPT and Udio. The samples had to be recreated due to low quality. Some prior lyrics were used from the first release. I gathered these lyrics from a Wikipedia text.
Wokephobia (2024-04-13)
The term “Wokephobia” came from my observations of right-wing extremists often appearing in comment sections of various posts. They’re often unaware of where they are commenting and the consequences, which led to my frustration.
Psicko Evolution (2024-04-08)
“Psicko Evolution” is a new release created with Reason 12. I thought the last remix of “Psicko” would be the final one, but I was wrong.
KIS Gothenburg, Instrumental (2024-04-07)
This is an instrumental version of “Känn ingen sorg” and also the Spotify version.
Witness 2024 (2024-03-29)
Witness is actually a remix, but since it is based on its own material – and ultimately MINT – it is included among the other original works in this segment.
Tug of War Second Edition (2024-01-17)
The first version of “Tug of War” felt incomplete, so a second version, “Second Edition,” was created to address this.
2023
Tug of War – Original Version (2023-12-04)
This is the first theme-based song created so far. It is primarily designed to honor the Swedish tug-of-war scene, but also to celebrate tug-of-war globally. Given that the sport is not particularly big – it’s rather limited – I felt it needed more attention. After all, it was once even an Olympic event.
During the Elite-1 competition 2024 it reached the field in Stenungsund.
Pain (Legacy Remix)
This is the first revisitation to the legacy collection, featuring a remix of “Pain (Hell on Earth).” The original version was initially excluded from the first batch of uploads to Spotify. It lacked both intensity and emotional depth. To give fairly justice to the piece, it was reimagined and remixed in 2023.
Man in the middle (January 2023)
This track is among the pioneering works that incorporated sampled content. Originally intended to be a more monotone version, it evolved into its current form. As of 2024, it remains uncertain whether this try can be deemed a success.
2022
Bejeweled 3 (2022-12-30) (The old Emily’s Song resurrection)
Bejeweled 3 is a continued remix of a MINT project. It made everyone in the family happy to get a dedication!
Flurry Flute (2022-12-24)
Flurry Flute was a project that originated on Tiktok, based on a “Drum & Flute”-record (instead of Drum & Bass). It later became “Flurry Flute” and went out to Spotify.
Deep State (December 2023)
Remixed / Resampled
This section features music with third-party samples, which won’t be monetized or uploaded due to sample clearance difficulties, and is created mostly for fun.
MINT (The MINT Experiment)
The MINT Experiment has both storage space here and a homepage located at themintexperiment.se. The separate homepage works as an entry point for external visitors as of today. The segment is based on MINT’s original tracks.
MINT on Spotify
Since MINT is too “small” (in the relation to musical releases), there is no “This is”-playlist created by Spotify. Instead, there’s a custom playlist for MINT here.
Legacy
The “Legacy” section features music with a unique approach compared to the “Rebirth” section. These compositions were originally made in the late 1980s and 1990s with FastTracker 2. Development later transitioned through CakeWalk. It then moved to an early version of Reason. These compositions are created without traditional EDM rules, capturing a raw and inventive spirit.
Morse
“Phsicko” Collection
The FastTracker 2.x-collection that later got its name “Psicko”. The primary purpose of “Psicko” was to show a comedic side of the life during the 1990s.
Frankly Hating (Bad Reputation Saga – Haters Collection 2001)

Through Your Neck
This tune was actually created as a response to a rivalry in young ages.
Mixes
This playlist is a tribute to “own creations” in life. It’s complex, as most tracks don’t follow any EDM rules, making it hard to manage.
