Medley of 3 short pieces that seem to fit together. There are lots of tempo and rhythmic changes in this one! The first part is quite weird, skip to 1:20 for the second part in 7/4. The third part starts at 2:58 a simple round in 4/4.

Dramatic Chromatic - Old mix listen to alternate version

In a cave in Jotunheim the giant wolf Fenrir is tied to the ground by the magical chain Gleipner. A sword is stucked through its mouth to prevent it from biting the Gods. Every day you can hear its rage and mourns. Endless torment and suffering. Who would have thought that this mighty creature, who are destined to swallow Odin himself at Ragnarok, once was an innocent little wolf pup suckling at the breasts of its mother Angrboda? Let the story of Fenrir remind us that even the most broken and vicous beings were innocent when they came from the womb. It is the scars of life  that shape us, not whether we were born God, man or wolf.

Lullaby for Fenrir (Featuring Jan Civil from KVR)

Raise, fallen Einherjars. The Valkyries have left us at the foot of Bifrost, the rainbow road to Asgard. Let us enjoy our last travel in life until we face the gates at Bifrost´s end.

The Gates at Bifrost's End

Instruments used on this demo:

1. Xsample Woodwinds Bass Clarinet sample (legato non vibrato patch, and in the second part of the tune the vibrato patch)
2. Xsample Brass - Tuba
3. Xsample Keyed Instruments - Hohner Gola accordion
4. Xsample Tuned Percussion - Marimbaphone 
5. Xsample Tamara - vocal pads and mouth percussion

Little demo made exclusively with Xsample libraries. No click track used, no quantization nor any MIDI editing was done. Objective of this little composition is to demonstrate the "plonkability" of the Xsample woodwind instruments. Hence just the one (legato) patch was used for the entire recording (both sustained and short notes) and it was all recorded in one take.

Within Me (Without You)

Track 5 of a spacey-trancey concept album I'm currently working on about the formation of the Universe. This one is about atoms - I picked certain sounds and melodies based on protons, electrons and neutrons, see if you can figure out which they are! 

I used Z3ta+ 2, Rapture and Dimension Pro (all by Cakewalk), my most recent purchases, for this track. I made the album art from scratch using GIMP, including the logo (which I made in Inkscape).

This album will Part 1 of a multi-album concept - I'm done rough cuts of 8/10 planned tracks, which actually means I have a chance at finishing this project!
