The mysterious Smallvirgin case

It was a cold and dark winter evening. As usual I sat by my computer and dug even deeper into the LMMS world. It was then, I saw it, on Soundcloud. The text read "Smallvirgin2". I clicked it and the browser opened the profile page full of LMMS material. At the point it was the best music made with LMMS I had ever heard. Then I noticed that Smallvirgin2 was followed by a certain Smallvirgin3... (War shout) AAAAAHH! It was a matter of seconds before I had subscribed to both of them. I calmed down, and as it turned out, I was right in subscribing. Smallvirgin3 had even better sounds than number 2. Smallvirgin3 was not followed by any Smallvirgin4, and that was fair enough, cause I spent weeks listening to all the songs.

A logical thought struck like lightning another night: Where is the original? I threw myself into the chair, and at the third attempt I did not fall off. I scraped some ice from my computer - Norwegian winter - and fired it up.

I was right. Again! And I swear I listened to the sounds on this page too! They were not bad at all. "You can hear that this was an early stage", I thought that time. However I am personally far worse today... Some days later I eventually thought: "Something stinks". The smallvirgins were from France, and they all quitted making music around the same time. I began to think that they all were the same person, and just enjoyed playing with our heads...

You might think I am crazy, mohaha, but I´m going to prove otherwise! From the soundcloud profiles we get these few facts: Smallvirgin is occupied in Paris (or near Paris... I would have chosen a big city near me too...). Smallvirgin2 lives in the commune Ivry-sur-Seine just southeast of Paris. Smallvirgin3 has chosen a big area the region Île-de-France, this region includes Paris and thus Ivry-sur-Seine. Strange, eh?

Previously I wrote: "I swear I listened to the sounds on this page" when writing about Smallvirgin´s soundcloud profile. That is because a hot summer day the page suddenly was empty. Now, I am pretty sure I listened to this artist´s sounds. How could an artist with no sounds get 48 followers? EXPLAIN THAT DOUBTERS.

That´s when I had enough. I let some people know that I had decided to investigate the case, just in case the smallvirgin-killer decided to do something drastic, and started the investigation. I had done some research before and basically continued from there. After 3 seconds I was finished. A quick search on youtube had brought me to what appeared to be the smallvirgins youtube channel. DUN-DUN-DUUUN! I had not tried that before

I discretely sent a message, and 14 hours, 13 minutes and 43 seconds later (brace for impact) I got da Bomb. And by that I of course mean a message in return. As it turned out, I was right. Again! For the third time :-D Marvelous. Smallvirgin said that, yes, those were his previous accounts. He moved on to youtube when the third soundcloud-account reached the limit of a free account. So he´s alive! I´m alive too. End of story.

And now a tiny review of Smalvirgin, who I assume called himself Thomas for a reason. The newest songs are amazing, however most of them are remixes or Smallvirgin sample beats as he call them. Nevertheless they are beautiful and he has proved he can make his own songs too. Look for the [Smallvirgin Intrumentals] -text for original compositions (or anything which excludes remix and sample). He has made songs in many different genres, but the smallvirgin sound is always there, just like with the David Nimmersatt sound. So ambient is a description which mostly fits.

We are talking a couple of releases or more every month, so hurry up subscribing!
