This really wasn't anything I was trying very hard on. I just made a quick little rendition of a melody I had been working on to get a feel of my new recording equipment. I must say, I really do enjoy it :)

Melody From Lost Days

So, I got back from my second to last final, for finals week, and I was rather angry, for obvious reasons. This led to me listening to Meshuggah which led to me feeling like recording something heavy. After a good 30 minutes, I had a completely different idea. This is my reaction to finals week. Enjoy.

Spuky

To begin, I recently got an e-bow, for my guitar, which I have been absolutely amused with, since I got it. I improvised a basic melody with it on a video, and posted it to facebook to show my friends. They all seemed to really enjoy it, and one commented that I should record something. So I did.

While creating this, I found myself inspired by the immense curiosity I feel when looking up to the night sky. It's breathtaking how titanic and colossal the universe is, and how small we are, in comparison. So, this is the product of that. I also really enjoyed making this, and love the feeling, so I do plan on developing this, more, which is why this is really just a concept. 

Cosmic Insignificance (concept)

Just something I felt like throwing together while thinking about World of Darkness. 

Waltz Of The Inferno

I enjoyed composing Waltz of The Inferno (which I will probably revisit) that I decided to compose another. After the second chord in the progression, I would belying if I didn't feel the Dear Esther-esqu style of the piece, so I headed in that direction. 

As Reality Fades

Just something I wrote. I'm not too happy with the second half, but I wanted to at least get it out there. Hopefully, I'll polish it, soon. 

Release (Concept)

This track was the combination of several things. Primarily, the main melody you hear in the begin, which remains to be the theme of the piece, is a melody that I wrote a few months ago on guitar. I fell in love with it on the spot. However, I never felt I could properly develop it, and honestly still don't. However, I made something out of it, as I decided to make it into my final project for my audio production class. Also, there were a few things that were improvised. 

Nonetheless, while I don't feel I developed the melody as well as it could be, I am still happy with the final result. Hopefully, one day, I'll develop the theme into something much greater.

Without Relent

A little over a year ago, Riot Games released a song called Lulu and Shaco's Quirky Encounter, which absolutely blew me away. I mainly play Shaco in League of Legends, and I just love creepy-carnival-esque things, be them movies, books, music, etc. And, at the end, the violin solo melted my face. I knew that, even with my background in violin, I wouldn't have chance. However, I thought that since the piece already felt like heavy metal to me, a guitar cover would be just as appropriate.

I did not compose this piece, nor do I own any rights.
