On this page you can find some older music tracks created by Nicklas "Nifflas" Nygren, together with their descriptions taken from his very old (2004) website, nifflas.ni2.se, which snapshot I discovered on archive.org. Music files themselves are taken from the niffpage, however not all of the tracks listed on the original website were found.

This is a very mysterious, magical sounding tune, which has has a special meaning to me. I tried really hard not to make it too jazzy, that would spoil it's feeling.
"Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese"

Inspiration is a funny thing. One second after having zero inspiration, I suddenly had a whole lot of it.
I wasn't very creative for a while, I really tried to make some music with my MC-909, but I never had any feelings about anything I did. Then I started playing around with a melody I had used for improvisation a lot. However, I changed time signature to 3/4, which gave a whole new life to that melody. I got this picture in my mind of someone sitting in the moon, playing the guitar. The Cheese In The Sky, has a mysterious, more "magical" sound than most of my music. The name might make you think it's not serious. So is it? Impossible to say.
I just have to give a little credit to Nick Park, maker of the Wallace & Gromit movies. This song got it's name, as well as a lot of inspiration, from one of his wonderful movies (more specificly 'A Grand Day Out').
This song is an attempt to expresses a city atmosphere, in fast forward mode. Although it constantly changes, there's something timeless over the place.

This song has a qutie strong connection to "The Cheese In The Sky". If that was the movie, "Moonlight Forest Trip" is the sequel. It's more trippy, and the moon is blue this time.

By no particular reason, I decided to visit a friend in Norway, and create a coop-tune. It's some kind of electronic funky jazzy groovy, even ambient'ish tune. Enjoy!

By no particular reason, I decided to travel to Norway, and meet Zepsi and Rogstaa, who I know trough IRC, and create some music. Me and Zepsi created this song, while Rogstaa contributed with some nice drum samples. After about a week "Cosmic Cheese" was finished.
Nifflas and I have been talking about doing a coop for quite some time now, without actually getting started. So when he got the good idea of spending a week here in Norway, we got an excellent opportunity to actually make something together (and it's also a lot more convenient than doing it by passing a song between us using the internet, which is what we originally intended). The process of making the piece was very smooth, and the only "problem" we ever had was naming the tune; something that was easily solved when we decided to use Nifflas' Random Song Title Generator. :)
For commercial use of this song, permission is required from both Zepsi and Nifflas. Simply, contact me (Nifflas) and I'll get in touch with Zepsi as well.
My brother is a breakdancer, in my opinion, a quite skilled one. This is an attempt to create something he would really like. In other words: perhaps not the best song for yoga / relaxation ;) Listen carefully, and you might notice the pringles cans, the empty bottle, not to mention the part where the drums is processed trough a coffe pot.

Sometimes we all have the secret agent kind of feeling, I know you do :) Enjoy a quite mysterious tune.

This song is based on a short and strange story I once wrote, about a girl who is reaming about how it would be like to fly. The song is chilly and atmospheric, but has some drum 'n bass elements.

Jazzy, and very chilly song, with plenty of lo-fi effects (I just love those). Feels just like winter in northern Sweden.

I once wrote this song for my girlfriend, I know she likes this sort of music. Don't expect some cheesy love tune, this is a calm ambient piece, which sounds a lot like winter.

This song does not sound completley unlike Winter Dreams, altrough it feels more like being far bellow the water surface. Okey, I did got the inspiration from the video game "Donkey Kong Country", but don't tell anyone ;)

I tried to give this song a little more "dark" feeling than the stuff you usually hear from me. It was written to somehow express the way I see this world.
Sadly, song not found anywhere, yet.I listen a lot to Jazz, and it inspired me to do this autumn'ish song. The only instruments is bass, piano and percussion. Not complex, but it has a nice feeling.
Sadly, song not found anywhere, yet.This song is based on a repeative melody which, as everybody understands, symbolizes the rabbit. It travels all the way trough the song. There are four parts: The Forest, The Ice Valley, The Dark Caves, and The Starport (!).

This song is cuteness itself. Don't take it seriously, it was made in two hours, for a competition, and no changes was done after. Note the sampled pringles cans, empty bottle, and vaccum cleaner tube.
Sadly, song not found anywhere, yet.This was made in one and a half hour, for another competition. I'm really satisfied with it's feeling and energy, altrough it's extremly short. You hear a whole lot of realtime tweaked stuff in this tune.
Sadly, song not found anywhere, yet.Short, repeative and relaxing mini-song. The name could possibly give you some kind of hint...
