My Music
- Some of my workA short playlist on some of the music I've composed over the past few years and showcases the range of styles I work with. More music is available to listen to on my SoundCloud Page.
I'm still working on the album but hoping to release it soon in all the major online music stores.A note before you proceed: To get the full effect of my technique, I'd strongly recommend using a set of good headphones or a good sound system to listen to the tracks. Laptop speakers and the like are not optimal.My Music by Gigitsu Music

About
- What is Gigitsu?The whole story begins around 2005 when I heard about a schoolmate that was producing tracks. Wanting to try my hand at it, I decided to get myself some demo software and experiment with some basic hip-hop beats. As I developed a knowledge on how to arrange and sequence my samples, I started getting into other software and various synthesiser and samples to broaden the spectrum.
Going under the alias of D-Livid and hoping to found what would eventually be called "The Asylum!", I eventually got into FL Studio and started producing my own take on Hip-Hop which I called Elektro-Hop because of the distinct use of Synths rather than just using samples. Besides that I started to experiment with Kwaito-House as well as Progressive Trance, the latter being the real base for what Gigitsu Music is today.
Fast forward a few years to the little "accident" I had which in turn ended up in me losing the originals to about 50 or so tracks, I got fed up and decided to call it quits having lost so much work and so much free time with it. But it didn't end there. With a growing passion for Trance and Chill-out/Ambient and being jobless at the time, I decided to produce just one more track as a self prescribed stress release therapy. The result would be known as "Surrealism", which marked the beginning of a new Era. The original is still available on YouTube and various other share sites under the D-Livid pseudonym although it has been remastered under the Gigitsu moniker.
After falling in love with my new work, 2009 marked the beginning of the Gigitsu Music project and myself going under the Gigi d'Autriche alias. From there on my main focus was to forget about mainstream and "profit" and instead focus on creating what I wanted to hear just for the sake of creating and sharing it. With influences coming from all across the board, I started out my new work. Listening to artists like Thomas Newman, Oceanlab, Chicane, Tiesto, Frank Borell, Vangelis, Moby, Brian Eno and various other artists in various genres, I developed a real passion for musical scores and rich string ensembles.
Someone has asked me where I get my inspiration from. I usually get it from scenery and visualising. I can look at a mountain and almost immediately hear a melody. As for the actual producing, I take elements and styles from many different artists and songs and try to incorporate them into my own work. Some songs are soft and gentle like those of Thomas Newman, some can be more perky and quick like some of the work composed by Antonio Vivaldi.
Just to avoid confusion, I do produce under both the Gigitsu and Gigi d'Autriche aliases.
Gigitsu is normally for the more gentler, calmer music.
Gigi d'Autriche is for the slightly harder, more electronic/dance music and the mix sets I do now and again.
Fun fact: At the time I created the project, I had chosen the name Gigitsu as a combination of my own nickname and the martial art, Jiu Jitsu. Only about a year ago did I actually realize that Jiu Jitsu was derived from Jujutsu which, roughly translated from Japanese into English, means "Gentle Art".

That classic “Splash Wave” track from the classic video game #OutRun…but with a #symphonic feel. Likey? #GigitsuMusic
A new global treaty could allow corporations to police what we do on the Internet. Last week we successfully pushed back the US censorship bills — if we act now, we can get the EU Parliament to bury this new threat — add your voice now!My new song called Spring. Spent hours trying to make the effects sound as realistic as possible.
- Why do we need Wikileaks?
Because of atrocities such as this being covered up by the US government and other governments across the globe.

SUMMARY
SECTION I: The Right to Equal Participation in Government has been taken from the…Police State Brutality Made Apparent Tonight @OCCUPYOAKLAND
These make me flinch. I can’t believe these were taken in my country, let alone my state. What a sad, sad day for America.
The police have maintained that they did not use such methods, and yet, here’s photographic evidence.
Can’t wait to see how Fox news spins this.

My apologies for not posting anything lately, I’ve been extremely busy with my day job and I’ve been battling with the flu added onto that. I’ll be looking for someone else to help me out with posts now and again, so if you have a feel for the music and think you could help out now and again,…
- How many albums?
I’ve been promising an album for a long time and most people are probably beginning to think “Om” has become nothing more than vaporware. Well, you’re half right…for now.
“Om” has now evolved into “AumZone” and has become a platform for me to share music done by other artists with similar work. Some of them already famous, but some still largely unknown and even unsigned.
But back to the actual Gigitsu stuff, I have decided to release an album, and very soon. But wait, there’s more. The first one will be called “Ab Initio” which is Latin for “From the beginning”, which I find appropriate because it’s a collection of my earliest work. But wait, there’s more! Because it’s largely what I would call Amateur work, this one is on the house. That’s right, a whole Album for FREE! I didn’t produce any of it with an actual album in mind, it was more sort of experimental work that I shared with people and they actually liked it.
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! “Ab Initio” isn’t the only one I’m releasing shortly. I’ve worked on quite a few tracks that have a more Cinematic feel to them and I’ve gone ahead and decided to create a SECOND album featuring just the Cinematic work. This is sort of what “Om” would have been like. This one will be called “Cinematique” and will also be available for FREE download! BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!
A third album is already in the works with a more professional feel to it. This is the one I’m really working hard on right now as there’s a distinct sound and feel I’m aiming for. Some of the tracks are complete and have already featured on my site and my fan page, but I can’t say which ones. Unfortunately, to keep up with the cost of running the site and the premium accounts I have, the cost of equipment and software, as well as all the time and energy I’ve put into my music all these years, this one won’t be free. It also might take a little longer to reach the market as I need to raise enough capital for yet more premium accounts. Once that is sorted, it will be available to purchase online in most major music stores, e.g. Amazon, iTunes and so on.
As for the name, I haven’t come up with anything yet, but I need something meaningful. The current name I have in mind is “Ad Infinitus”, Latin for “Without an end; Without limit; to infinity”. I choose this because I believe there is no end to creating music. There will always be new songs, and the songs that are will live on forever.
A New Age | Gigitsu Music
This is what I would call ” New Age Minimal Ambient Trance” because I’ve taken elements from each genre. Enjoy- Manic monday? Relax...
Something to ease those monday blues and get you in a chilled out mood. From his second album, “Take My Breathe Away”, this is “Besides” by Brazilian electronic producer Gui Boratto.
His next album, “III”, is just on the horizon and certainly worth checking out once it’s released. I know it’s on my list ;)
