Happy Halloween Everyone! 🎃
All the fears are in our psyche 🧌👀👻😱😉

It's my first collab with my Friend, kavvka @grzegorzkawka, who made all guitars sounds design and melodies that were played by lead guitars. Also he gave me a lot of good advices and ideas to make this track better. I've made all the rest including guitar solo at the end.
It was very difficult month for me, that's why I was silent so long. This track is my katharsis.

Nada Se Queda Atrás

This piece starts off from the repeating 4 notes of the 3rd movement from Beethoven's Tempest Sonata (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRoZgmqlfso) but takes off in a much different direction with new melodies. The piece borrows from Beethoven only those repeating 4 notes and the figuration of the left hand... everything else being my own. Though the feeling is overtly Beethovian too (with all due distances, of course)... And do you sometimes hear echoes of the Für Elise? (To my ear, the Für Elise itself has echoes of the Tempest's 3rd movement, even in its opening theme.)

The title "After the Tempest" has double meaning. It "takes after" Beethoven's Tempest's 3rd movement. And it also represents the sunlight and freshness felt after a storm's atmospheric depression has passed. Triple meaning, actually, as we endure this terrible worldwide depression and wish for the day it will past us somehow...

Played by software, sorry...

The painting shown is by Thomas Cole (1836), entitled "The Oxbow" and represents an oxbow in the Delaware River after a passing storm. Beethoven's Tempest sonata was written 1801-1802 and Für Elise dates from 1810.
