The Complete TJ TechnoiZ Discography (2000 - 2008)

TJ TechnoiZ (Anton Schmidt) was a tracker music producer who was part of a group called Cornercut, and he created the music for the Enkord games Clash n Slash and Jewel of Atlantis. Sadly, he passed away in a car accident at 5am on September 14, 2008. Even though he and I have never communicated with each other, he was my first inspiration to start creating music. He was a huge part of my childhood.
It's been 15 years now since he passed away, and I wanted to upload all 57 of his known productions, including some that have never been on KZbin before. I exported the songs using FL Studio's ZGameEditor Studio, and edited the video using Movavi Video Suite. I wanted to give the visualizer a 2000s feel.
Visualizer Color Meanings:
Yellow = Trance / 140BPM
Cyan = House / 130BPM

Shoutouts to Anton's brother Alexander (XAR), Vibe, Lyzzard, and everyone else who was part of Cornercut.

(For some reason, I got a copyright claim on Divine, but I'm keeping it in the video anyway because it's not like I do KZbin for money.)
For the most part, all songs are unaltered with the following exceptions:
Some songs were too quiet, so I tried to balance the audio volume for them all. However, I needed an extra audio track for Chip Summer 2048, Another World, Ra, and N2L to make them loud enough to be balanced with the other tracks, because even max volume was a little too quiet.
The kick and bass in The Great Battle were slightly corrupted and sounded like loud static every time they played, so I manually edited the samples and removed the audio spikes. It was easy to do, and now it sounds exactly the same without the static crackles.
Silent parts at the end of various songs have been trimmed to prevent excessively long periods of silence; namely, Approach (Full Monster Club Remix), Too Much Rain, Dream Summer 2000, Realm of Sound, Separated By A Rain, Sensual Bytes, Activate!, Sonic & Tailz Do U, The Inconceptual One, Chip Summer 2048, Milk & Sunrise (both versions), Too Old (both versions), My Wonderful World Sketch #1, Fantasy Maniaque, o, u wish 2 try me?!, Life Is Like Wasabi.
Human Essense (TJ TechnoiZ Remix), Final Consequence, and Sunday Morning have loops in the original project files, so I had them loop here. Marine Jewel Eyes and No Longer Being Normal have loops in their files too, but they are not smooth, so they're not used here.
Fadeouts have been added to various songs for smoother transitions between songs; namely the aforementioned songs that are looped, as well as Strawberry Icecream, Dream Summer 2004, Digital Energy, Trip To Home (TJ TechnoiZ Remix, ra, 11111, nice try ;), NCCR, Human Essence (TJ TechnoiZ Remix 2), Warning Forever (TJ TechnoiZ Remix), Marine Jewel Eyes, and N2L.
April 3, 2024 - I realized that Strawberry Icecream shouldn't be in this video! When I made this video, I didn't know that it wasn't just a song, it was also the name of an album that TJZ and Vibe released through CornerCut! Only Vibe made this song.

"Sunday Morning" was perfect for Clash'N'Slash, giving you that feeling that you're the last, best hope of an entire planet against an alien invasion.

[@stardown77]

I 100% agree! Sunday Morning was my first favorite song from TJ TechnoiZ.

You're not the only one having tjZ' tunes as a part of childhood. Anton's music was the actual soundtrack of my life when I was 14-16. About a month ago (November 2023), I found out that he passed away before I even heard of him. It felt like I've lost a friend. Тоха, thank you for your music and all the memories it brought.

Today (December 5) was his birthday, and he would have been 35 years old. Duel #8 was held on his birthday, and he made Too Old within 46 minutes as part of the competition. His song came in first place when the results were revealed the next week, and along with the Duel #8 package, he also released finalized versions of Too Old, Milk & Sunrise, and Night Trance.

Yea, I am also amazed by his talent in such young age. Btw, recently, when coming back to his music years after, I found some clear inspirations from East Slavic rock music. As an example, when I heard "Не треба" (Ne treba) by Скрябін (Skryabin) for the first time, I really had the first thought that "it sound like tjZ". Well, when lurking some in memoriam group, I found that probably he was listening to Skryabin.
