I also produce and compose music, both solo and in different music constellations. Although music production and sound design are two different areas, I find that sound design has its own kind of musicality to it and I think having experience within music sometimes can be a good thing for a sound designer and vise versa.
In the slide below there are youtube clips of tracks I’ve produced and/or have been involved in. More in-depth information about the tracks can be found on each track’s youtube page.

The Rowboats - Kraftwerk Tribute
Track Name: The Rowboats
Artist: Samuel Lidström
Original Track Name: The Robots
Original Artist: Kraftwerk
Originally Composed by: Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider and Karl Bartos
This project started out in 2010 with me loving the the original track The Robots by Kraftwerk so much that I started trying to create/imitate all the track's sounds from scratch only using the software instrument Arturia Mini V. In other words, no samples were used.
