Oh wow, I just randomly picked up this book recently and am about a quarter of the way through it, cool to stumble across this piece inspired by it! Really digging the track!!

So much ambient beauty on this. This takes you on a journey. Love the pounding drum beat throughout!

lovely work (not read this yet either!) 👍

Menacing and moody, love that guitar 👍

This is a companion piece to the Xenomorph track but with much darker take on the concept of having an ancient, alien sentient weapon integrating with your body. Paolini's novel would make a great graphic comic or film.
The graphic is a detail from Pablo Dominguez's great rendition of the soft blade and more can seen at https://fractalverse.net/
The guitar is a Fender Tele through a British J800 amp, classic distortion, flanger, ping pong delay and a plate reverb... 
PS I don't just read SciFi

The Soft Blade

I've been on Soundcloud for six years now and it's been great exploring the work of other artists.  There is so much generosity of spirit on this platform, it's just what you need when most of your music is made solo. 

I started out playing classical and Spanish guitar, then took up flamenco to ease myself away from the confines of musical notation. As a result, Latin rhythms often creep into my music. 

A friend introduced me to steel string and electric guitars just a few years ago and I still find the scope they bring dizzying... but what fun!
