I made this song for this video: https://youtu.be/CSfN5DZeKD8

I spent over 2 months on this, and I could spend several more months making it better, but this was the deadline.

I'm very happy with how the guitar tone and drums turned out, though, considering I used Superior Drummer 3 for the drums, and a $200 HSS Squier Stratocaster with all digital plugins, no physical gear beyond the interface.

Emulating a real drum performance with Superior Drummer 3 took about a month. There was a crazy amount of tempo changes, and sometimes the nudge function wasn't precise enough.

Vocals could be better, but hey, I'm not Serj, and I had a week to do them.

Toxicity (System Of A Down Cover)

The infamous "Numa numa", now with guitar.

Behind the scenes: https://youtu.be/iJCFRYYrtUs

I didn't make a video last league, so I had 6 months to work on this. I wanted to get as close to the original as possible, but with a few caveats: My vocals, no excessive processing on the vocals, actual bass, different drums, and add a guitar. Everything else, I tried to get as close as possible. There are a TON of hard-to-hear background instruments that really pull their weight here.

My favorite parts are the sound effects (after "beep" and "sunt iarăși eu"), which are actually highly-manipulated Chrono Trigger samples, the fuzz on the bass, and the slightly-modified pad arpeggios.

The original is by Happy Fits. Highly recommend checking it out.

Dirty Imbecile (Jousis A Capella Cover)

Part of a soundtrack that I haven't finished for a game I've barely started making.

The soundtrack is Royalty-Free. You can use it for free, and you can profit off its use, as long as you credit me somehow. Linking here will suffice.

Barren Bones Soundtrack

Deus Ex Machina

Made this for a video. I do not own the rights to Sound of Silence, so I can't guarantee usage of this in a Royalty-Free capacity. You have my permission to use this, but you must obtain permission to use the Sound of Silence from its owners.

Sound of Silence in Moonbase Alpha

Made specifically for the Automancer build because its sound effects occur every 0.24 seconds (250 BPM.)

This track is royalty-free! You can use it, and profit from it, as long as you credit me somehow. Linking here will suffice.

Terrorcore Automancer

I made this for this video: https://youtu.be/S8vRgG9LrIg

This is NOT Royalty-Free. You have permission from me to use this, but not the original rights holders to Aerials. Your video will get claimed.

I could have spent more time on it, but it had already taken 3 weeks, and I really needed to get the video out.

I wanted the Lyrics to be clearly POE-related, but sound similar to the original words, since I'm not the best writer.

Lyrics:

Life's ire burns us all
We rise from the ashes like Oriath after the fall

Reach into the void and take it all
We lose all sense when we hear the call

'Cause we all have won, but want to play
Always has a toll but you never want to pay

And we don't know what we want to choose
So eager to play, but you give up when you lose

Exiled from the sky
When Innocence dies they come alive

Life marches past us all
We try to keep rhythm, but Temporal Chains slow us to a crawl

Reach into the void and take it all
We lose all sense when we hear the call

'Cause we all have won, but want to play
Always has a toll, but you never want to pay

And we don't know what we want to choose
So eager to play, but you give up when you lose

Exiled from the sky
When Innocence dies they come alive
Exiles in this life
When you're free of binds eternal strife

Exiled from the sky
When Innocence dies they come alive
Exiles in this life
When you're free of binds eternal strife

Exiles - A Parody of Aerials by System of a Down

I used this in this video: https://youtu.be/uoqRdlySoto

It's the counterpart to the "Tranquil" track. It's totally Royalty-Free, so use it however you like, as long as you credit me somehow. Linking here will suffice.

Frenetic

I made this for the Path of Exile Talent Competition, and for this video: https://youtu.be/QUJrmlXTyn4

It's more of a showcase of "talent" rather than an actual song.

Lyrics:
Adrift in this reality
I cannot carve a fitting place
Paralyzed with indecision
Through History without a trace

Completing every helpful quest
Empathy led to Apathy
I have become too tired to rest
but deep inside a constant roar

Liminal
Barrage
Critical
Damage
The day was guarded by the sun
My own vigil has just begun

Liberty
Madness
Agony
Regress
Civilization come undone
The only option left is
Run

The Forbidden Sun

I made this song for this video: https://youtu.be/9BRj7Q1L_l0

The song is composed around the beat made by the Volatile Dead explosions, which occur at 219 BPM on my character, so the song is at 219 BPM.

Mick Gordon showed how to make the "white noise ring-modded sine wave" DOOM synth, so I wanted to use that.

I don't have explicit written permission to use the game sounds, so this can't be classified as "royalty-free." You would need permission to use the game sounds in your work as well, which may be strict outside of videos/streams of Path of Exile.

Terrorcore Automancer 2

I made this for this video: https://youtu.be/3W08zA-t_nU

The song is usually the bottleneck for the video schedule, so I made this in about 2 days and don't plan to spend any more time on it.

Lyrics:
Cannot see but I can hear the screaming of the Voices
Each step into Delirium
Looking in, getting under my skin, will madness never end?
I can't get rid of you, Tangmazu

Each lesson wrapped in lies
All taught for all of time
Grieve, fret, crawl, why do I stay?
Grieve, fret, crawl
I was blind but I see! Now get out of my way!

Crawl - A Parody of Walk by Pantera

This is a mashup cover of Mr. Blue Sky by ELO and You Make My Dreams (Come True) by Hall & Oates.

I made it for this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx0CSGttsww

It's not my usual style, but I hadn't found any good versions of this mashup online, and it was too good of an idea not to do.

It was made using Reaper, Superior Drummer 3 (with the Orchestra 1&2 packs,) a $200 HSS Squier Stratocaster (my first ever guitar, I don't know how to play,) a $15 Behringer audio interface,  a Blue Yeti microphone, and 2 garbage cans being hit by a toothbrush.

This is my take on the intro to the song used in the Path of Exile Build of the Week series.
