Wendy Carlos - A Clockwork Orange

One of my favorite soundtracks. This music gets me pumped, but I can't listen to it while running, writing, reading, or anything else really. It's just a bit too captivating. Wendy Carlos' Moog-reinterpretations of classics. There's something still futuristic about this, even though it's already more than 40 years old.

William Tell Overture (Abridged)


March from A Clockwork Orange

Jun Togawa - Formless Station Ends

Here's a song from one of my favorite singers, Jun Togawa. There's certainly a broken quality to her pop ascetics, which follows through a lot of her work, but really hits the mark here. Even though the lyrics are a bit of a mystery to me, her childish vocals and the time-warped carnival atmosphere always leave me feeling a little stunned at how effectively she can express a mood that might stick with you throughout the day.

P.S. please ignore video!
