A song I composed, recorded and mixed in a little less than an hour, for the Sevenstring.org 1 hour recording competition, may 2014. 
It turned out way different from what I intended, and I didn't get any votes in the competition either this time, but I had a lot of fun and in retrospect I actually really like the atmosphere I managed to create. It's almost like a description of my personality, I suppose :)
I basically just let my hands do what they felt like doing. The mix isn't quite my best, but then again this is kind of outside of my comfort zone, so I didn't really know what I was doing, but at least it doesn't make your ears bleed ;)

Gear used:

Ibanez RG-1527 (7-string) guitar with a Dimarzio D-activator in the bridge position (used in coil-split mode on this one) 
6-string Harley Benton bass
Presonus Firestudio Mobile interface
iMac 21,5", late 2010 with 16gb RAM and a 500gb SSD running OS X Mavericks and Logic 9
Drums programmed using the piano roll in Logic and played back using Superior Drummer 2.0, the default Avatar kit with my own custom preset which I use for everything

THEME:

As a line glossy white vehicles soar past the silhouette of skyscraper to the west, you suddenly feel the sheer enormity of your surroundings. Buildings are measured in the hundreds of floors and thousands of luminously painted vehicles filled with business men and distracted urbanites float along invisible paths though the air of the mega-city. Walking along the brick paths like you are now is seen as a special event. A time to be cherished as you smell the earthy and sweet aroma of the human planted nature in the beautifully manicured park below the towering structures around you. There are no machines allowed down here except those designed to keep these plants as healthy as possible. Taking in your surroundings you imagine how this beautiful metropolis came to be.

I don't know what it is about my Jackson DK-2, but every goddamned time I pick it up I end up playing something like this :D

Cursed to grind

New version of this WIP of mine. Added one riff, changed tuning C->B and added bass :)

Argh! Gojiraaaaaaa!!!!!????!!1111 v2.0

Found a guitar pro tab of this song I composed nearly ten years ago and decided to record it. 

Lost in a Maze Without Walls

I came up with the intro by table drumming :D Then I just recorded all other instruments on top of that randomly. The most random part is the intro guitar "solo", which I just played once and figured it was good. I don't even know if it's in the right key or anything.

Tilulii

Some random riffs I came up with the other day. I couldn't figure out what rhytm the lead was supposed to be in at first, but when I turned the metronome on at 280bpm I found it straight away :D

Random neo-classical-core

I was sitting in the car, really tired when Basket Case played on the radio... My first thought was "Why hasn't anyone made a Black Metal version of this!?", so now I ended up making one myself. I apologize in advance :D

Basket Case (Green Day cover)

Had some Dream Theater vibes and decided to record them. This is a very rough idea, so it's basically not mixed at all.
