Devotion

Due to lack of funds to afford a Pro account, I'm unfortunately unable to upload MANY of my newest tracks here, especially the latest ones.

I'll have to be extremely picky with the ones I'll be broadcasting from now on, as well as likely going to delete some of my older works, and prevent downloads for the time being.

Nakama

Created last August 2015, as the latest (as of Feb. 2016) original collaboration between Thanshuhai (http://thanshuhai.deviantart.com/) and myself, and our second original collaboration since 'Polaris' (https://soundcloud.com/daltaidan/polaris/).

A Place for Echoes

Today in 2016, April 24th, is my 5 year anniversary of being a composer. Although I wasn't able to prepare anything special in particular, I do have this backtracked song to share with you all.

A great experience stepping into new territory, along with Thanshuhai (http://thanshuhai.deviantart.com/) and one of our late 2015 collaborations.

Swinging the Night Away

Commissioned by -fao-

An instrumental track of inner monologue and self-evaluation.

Song 121.

Tensive Introspection

Part of the 'Rosas' Soundtrack.

June 12, 2016 [Independence Day]
Hindi mo kailangang mamatay para masabing inalay mo ang iyong buhay para sa kabutihan ng iyong bansa.

Kung sa bawat araw na buhay ka,
sa iyong mga salita, mga gawa, at mga likhain,
napapalaganap ang halaga ng kalayaan, kapayapaan at katarungan

tunay na masasabing inalay mo ang buhay mo para sa kabutihan ng iyong bansa.

[Translation: You don't need to die in order to say you've offered your life up for the good of your country.

If in each day of your life,
through your words, actions, and your creations,
you propagate the value of freedom, peace and justice,

you can truly say you've offered your life up for the good of your country.]

The title is derived from Tagalog:
"yakap" means embrace;
"pandaigdig" denotes an object or action which 'is for the world' or 'encompasses the world';
additionally, "ang daigdig" simply means 'the world'

The day I post this, May 9th 2016, is the nationwide government elections in the Philippines. No one person has control over its outcome, but all persons will be affected by it.

In spite of our different opinions, I wish only for peace to be the endgoal of all those who choose the next leaders of our country - and I hope the same for all people across all countries.

Yakapang Daigdig

The main theme for our college animation project: a stop-motion animated film entitled "Rosas."

Elbi With You Always

A personal (favorite), original, happy jumpy piano song made of 99% fun and 1% testing out what kind of simple, but humanly improbable piano tricks I could get away with, using my then-new MIDI keyboard attachment.

Used as backing music for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_AKp1A71AQ

Optimism is an Acquired Taste

A quick ditty in the vein of a sitcom, or one as I would hear it. I created this for a class video project with my classmates, which you will never see because I refuse.

The Organization

The music for my Pokémon short film, 'It's Super Effective!!'

It's Super Effective!! OST

Update 2016: Submitting this to OsirisRex #WeTheExplorers

Such homeward travel never long
When this beacon we look upon
Whose brightlight beam caught those astray
And gentle touch would lead the way
Where meets the ends with lights anew
And what remains is only true
That hope will reach to all who roam
And surely lead you back to home

~ Daltaidan
