Verse 1
He was on a path to nowhere, then he raised his head
One day, he opened up his eyes and this is what he said to me.

Pre-Chorus 1
Brother I won’t hurt you, I’ll always be your friend
But if I don’t do something, with my life soon it will end
And you see, there’s no point in me carrying on, unless I change my evil ways.

Chorus
I’m gone, I’m moving on, I’m rolling down this road alone
I’m gone, I’m moving on, So raise a glass for me, farewell
I’ll see you soon on the other side, and it will be my brand-new day.

Bridge
Black sheep I know - We fall down
Addictions we bleed - We hold on
Hallelujah - Be strong
The brother I keep - He’s long gone

Verse 2
Seven years and not a word
Seven years I dreamed of change
And then, he showed up at my door
This is what he said to me

Pre-Chorus 2
Brother, please forgive me, for never coming home
I didn’t have the strength to stay here, the temptations long been gone
Believe me, I’ve bled my last drop of tainted blood, and I’ve changed my evil ways

Chorus 2
Long gone, back where I belong, I’ve found my way down the road back home
Long gone, back where I belong, Please open your hearts to me again
Or I’ll see you soon on the other side, and it’ll be my brand-new day

A collab with Otherwise, I think it turned out allright :)

Otherwise - The Ghost of Winter ft. Martin Aslaksen

The theme for the entire album. This theme will run through various tracks. It's inspired by the novel set in the Mass Effect universe by the same name. I've tried to remain original, but at the same time I wanted to stay "familiar". Inspiration from the very first Mass Effect video game is to be expected.

Mass Effect Revelation Theme

Kahlee has been captured. Anderson is furious at Saren because of his disregard towards innocent lives, especially humans. However Anderson needs Saren in order to rescue Kahlee. Saren wants the research, but allows Anderson some time to try and save Kahlee. Anderson manage to kill Skarr and save Kahlee just in time before Saren blew up the entire facility. Killing everyone inside. Saren blamed Anderson in his offical report to the council, being a high standing operative, they naturally believed him over Anderson. 
Back at his base, Saren studies the research from Sidion and discover a giant starship named "Sovereign". Saren plans to use this ship to get revenge on the humans who slaughtered his brother back in the first contact war a decade ago.

Elysium demo version, pc got fucked and I lost access to many of my synths. Released as a bonus track because of how long this album has taken.

Little Hawk - The EP

Abenaki:

si8hmosis is the Abenaki word for "Little Hawk", the name given to me at birth by my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. I am the Hawk, my brother is the m8lsem, the Wolf, my cousin the Tolba, the turtle. 

We are of the Abenaki of Odanak. My great grandmother left the reservation to raise her family after being given an ultimatum of keep her faith, lose her children, or become christian, and keep her children. Out of fear, she became christian and eventually left Odanak. Because of that fear and for what the missions and boarding schools did, she vowed to not speak our language. Not until she was nearing the end of her life when she shared much more. Luckily her mother was determined to keep the Abenaki culture alive and taught my grandmother, mother, and aunt everything she knew. Our story today, is one of loss and great sadness. The pain continues but on behalf of my family and people I strive to keep our story alive and to breath healing into it. For what my great grandmother was afraid to speak, I can sing loudly for all the world to hear. 

I know I am not alone in this pain. There are many more out there who feel this and wish to find healing for our ancestors and to be that step forward. This EP is my step towards that. These are my personal issues and emotions released through music, with honor given to our heritage. In hopes to continue to build my platform so that I can share my stories, my families stories, the Abenaki stories, and to raise awareness about who we are and to shout that we are still here!

Today, our people live amongst the Northeastern United States, our reservations are in Canada, they are Odanak and Wolinak. We are currently facing a major battle and need to spread awareness as far as we can. There are tribes that claim Abenaki heritage in Vermont and New Hampshire, but the people in these tribes have no ancestral or genetic ties to the Abenaki peoples, to my people. We have been fighting this battle for 25 years as these "tribes" have tried to gain federal recognition in the US. And since we do not have recognition in the US because our reservations are in Canada, we have no backing from the US government. These tribes in Vermont and New Hampshire are living on our ancestral land and claiming it as their own. To add validity to our claim Professor Darryl Leroux has done genealogy for these tribes and 98% of them do not have Abenaki ancestry. They are French Canadians cosplaying as our people, stealing our stories, changing them, and passing them off as their own. They are doing incredible amounts of damage to our history, culture, and heritage with every word they speak. 

I grew up with the story that there were white people living in Vermont who's grandparents traded with our peoples and appreciated our way of life. So they implemented some of our ways into their lifes. Eventually, their grandchildren and children would grow up questioning these ways wondering where they came from, and these people would lie and say they had Native American ancestors, and since we were on the verge of extinction, who could say anything? 

Today, there are zero Canadian First Nations and zero US First Nations that accept these tribes as Abenaki. And you shouldn't either. They are not us. They have stolen our stories and profited from it while our people have been forced to silence. We learned our stories from grandparents by whispers because of fear, and now these white people come shouting loudly from the forests sharing our stories, and sharing them wrong, hurting them, hurting us. 
I ask that you support the cause and take time to spread awareness.  Listening to my EP, reading this story, google "Abenaki Odanak" or "Abenaki Frauds" and checking out some of the info would be so much more help than you could ever imagine.

Pretty funny coincidence that my 358th release would be the same number as part of the video game's title.

I gave this a try but I have not really ever tried to match my music to specific video cutscene timing till now.

An amateur composer.  I try to tell stories in my soundtracks so it's probably abit different than what you are used to, I don't follow any rules x) Huge fan of game and movie music so that naturally is my inspiration. I am using Cubase and East West, everything is played by ear as I have no clue how to write music at all.

Everything I make is available for download. I would ask that you approach me if you want to use it for a project however :)
