This is a generally finished version of the W.I.P "Woods and Archipelagos", with perhaps only a few touches remaining (of course, the mix was made in GP6, so it's not perfect.)

The primary changes are; the transposal from Dm to Fm, necessitated by the addition of a harmonica (which could only go as far down as C below middle C; previous lowest note being A3), and a slightly prolonged outro, the piece bookending with prominent harmonica.

"A Northland Winter"

A sketch like this generally consists of very loosely connected parts that would most likely be split up/re-arranged for use in a "proper" song.

It started of with the riff at 00:59, and everything was built off of that (save for the B-section of the clean intro, which began as an experiment of mine and ended up sounding like a nice lead-in to the riff). The outro at cirka 02:00 is one of my all-time favourite ideas; it has a very "sci-fi"-like vibe, and the progression from Dm to F# always gives me goosebumps.

Guitar Pro Sketches: Memorial (Sci-Fi Metal)

A piece written in an hour or so for the New Standard Tuning. Would sound good as a "breather track" on a metal album, I think.

I'm not entirely sure about all the harmonies and finger placements. Might also work better in another tuning, but right now I couldn't be bothered to mess with it. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

The Journey Ahead...

I found an old melody lying around in my GuitarPro-folder, and decided to work on it a little bit. The flute part was tricky because it was very difficult to time natural "breaths" in notation, I found. 

I'm very open to positive/constructive criticism.

Critique please! That's the only way I'll learn!

This is the entirety of the music I composed for my film class' final project, "The Path of All Mortal" (org. title "Alla Dödligas Väg"). It's my first time composing for a film ever, but I think it ended up suiting the film quite well.

The mixing is a bit crude, but it's not my area of expertise. I only have the most basic grasp of music theory, but if I'm allowed to boast (how un-Swedish of me) I think I have a good feel for music.

The first part underscores the death of one of the main characters the second the film's "setpiece", which includes the lead walking around in her aparment, hearing things, as well as experiencing some form of nightmarish vision. The final part is for the short finale where the visions no longer haunt her, and the end credits highlight the main theme.

I was struck with a sudden inspiration of folk music, and suddenly this came about. It's not entirely folky, but I tried not to wander too far off. It's even a little half-jazzy at times.

This was composed and exported in GP6, so the mixing is as it is. The work still needs some fine tuning but l kind of like it, and I hope you do too!
