My contribution to Strezov Sampling Competition. I have used at least 5 samples of the download pack and this time it was a challenge to learn the Sample Track function of Cubase. Thanks for these competitions, they teaches me new techniques and gives me the opportunity the learn.

Night Travel

The main theme is another one from my distant teenage years, written on a small keyboard as a flute tune. 
My friend like it, so we fooled around with it and even recorded a song called ''Field of Dew'', as a satine of folkish/radio friendly love songs popular in Dalmatia, that alone probably influenced me to use the theme for a romance-like composition.
Sentiment and content wise, it is very personal, filled with melodies reminiscing all of turmoil one can experience in love, from happy moments like the first glance in the shared with one another in a crowd during a Metallica cover band concert, strolling through the sun bathed forest of Gorski Kotar, and many more, both happy and unhappy. 
This piece is dedicated to Vanja Kalemba, the mother of my son and also the author of many paintings I use as a art cover of my compositions.

Poodle Man (feat. Nils)

The power of twenty five

Exploring the darker side of romantic love in the modern era. Influences include early British Metal and early American Gothic music. At times harmonically dischordant with a moody and haunting vibe

The One To Call (Live Version) - John Goldrust

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly

All I Have

Safety Net

Funerale

Nada Para el Final convierte un pulso íntimo en mantra.
Guitarras que respiran entre capas eléctricas y una voz que confiesa sin explicar.
Ritmo roto y decidido: el instante en que todo hace click… o se desmorona.

Escrito con German Villanueva, quien dió voz al coro tambien.

Nada Para el Final

1,042 plays, 173 likes/loves, and 159 reposts in under 72 hours — massive thanks to everyone showing love! Let’s keep this moving 🔥. “Drunk Texting” is Exzenya’s playful and painfully relatable debut single, a genre-blending anthem that captures the chaos of late-night emotions and digital regrets. With sharp lyrics, a catchy hook, and a blend of humor and heart, the track tells the story of blaming your phone for the things you wish you hadn't sent while tipsy. Mixing pop, R&B, and satirical spoken word, Exzenya crafts a song that’s equal parts comedy, confession, and cautionary tale. It’s the ultimate “oops” moment set to a beat, and one you’ll want to replay, even if you’d never admit it.
