Access Virus B

A simulated analog synthesizer with 24 voices and up to 16 parts. Lots of tweaking, and each new release of its operating system brought new possibilities, such as additional LFOs and many more. I just love designing a sound by tweaking one of those mutliple-dozen knobs. Also works really well as a vocoder and effects […]

Knight Rider Theme – nexxyz Jumpin’ Cars Mix

[audio:nexxyz_-_Knight_Rider_Theme_nexxyz_Jumpin_Cars.mp3] An experiment of trying to recreate the “picked” melody of the Knight Rider Theme turned into a whole track. I think I managed to recreate that sound pretty well, and also the lead melody came out right. In the end it became very little of a reconstruction, but a very groovy cover of the […]

Knight Rider Theme – Gameboy Cover

[audio:thomas_r._bucsics_-_knight_rider_gameboy_cover.mp3] This was my very first track entirely produced and performed live using a Nintendo Gray Gameboy and LSDJ, and I consider it one of my best. It was originally performed at the Kunsthauspassage Wien, at a Club Beton event.

Cup of Coffee

[audio:nexxyz_-_Cup_Of_Coffee.mp3] A chilly, down-beat track which also happens to be the first one I got to sell. Considered by many of my friends as the ideal background music for a productive study session.

Schrodt & Bucsics – Waiting for 620

[audio:schrodt_and_bucsics_-_waiting_for_620.mp3] A song I wrote with Markus Schrodt of dot.matrix, him on the Gameboy and the Commodore 64, and me on my Roland MC505. Funky, fun tune with a name to suit the occasion 😉

Whistling on a Sunny Corridor

[audio:thomas_r._bucsics_-_whistling_on_a_sunny_corridor.mp3] The first Gameboy track to be uploaded on the new site – and for good reason! One of my favourite original tunes, written & performed live on one gray Nintendo Gameboy. Happy, breakbeaty, hoppy, tweety.

Dark Resurrection + Variation

Original: [audio:nexxyz_-_Dark_Resurrection_Original_Mix.mp3] D’n’B Variation: [audio:nexxyz_-_Dark_Resurrection_DnB_Mix.mp3] A trance track plus a D’n’B variation of the same track. In fact, the two tracks are almost identical, except for substitution of the beat and bassline and a higher speed in the D’n’B variation. The variation was written as proof that trance and D’n’B are really not that different, […]

Progress…

After finally getting a decent host (One.com), installing a system for my site (WordPress) as well as some plugins for it, adapting those plugins and a nice theme to match a look I (and hopefully also you) can live with, I’m slowly starting to add my songs to the site. So expect more and more […]

Beatnik – Sunlight (nexxyz Shining Mix)

[audio:Beatnik_-_Sunlight_nexxyz_Shining_Mix.mp3] A remix of a track that was written by friends of old, with a really nice, catchy Eurotrance theme, adapted to my very personal style. I am especially fond of the first lead-synth exposition and the buildup that precedes it. One of my personal favourites.

Missing the Sea

[audio:nexxyz_-_Missing_the_Sea.mp3] The first song to be posted on this site. I wrote this song when I came back to Vienna from my semester in Trondheim at NTNU. As long as it’s available, you can see the blog I had there here (German). It has a very melancholy atmosphere, but has its joyful elements. I would […]
