Being irrational:

 Started the sketch as usual on non-electric, non-acoustic guitar, in 2020 (if I recall correctly), recorded the instrumental parts in 2021 and made part of the lyrics, finished the latter and the song in 2024. Not very satisfied overall, especially with the voice but I decided to consider it OK.

Finished this one recently (started in January 2023) for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/). The author, however, has decided to end the collaboration for personal reasons. I'm pretty satisfied with the overall thing although the second part could have sounded better. The battle part (second half) took a lot of time to flesh out due to lack of inspiration.

By semi-original I mean that I used a few notes that Mr. Easterbrook used for his keyboard guitar based incantations and turned that into a whole composition.

A friend of mine sent me a video of violinist Jacek Dzwonowski being playful with his beloved instrument in the bathroom using as accompaniment what seemed to be a tap. The tune had an obvious middle-eastern vibe. Then, well, it just hit me to try playing something similar on classical guitar, and afterwards, this came out, 100% artificial by the way. Rough around the edges though.

Made in September 2023.

Made for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/). It's the first composition for the project. I'm not sure the author used it though.

Created in 2022.

Changed and added to this one in 2014 for my friend's birthday along with 1playerdream3. The sketch  I worked with is from 2008, I guess. The original also had some sounds from the game but for some reason I couldn't make them work. Wacky material is what came out.

 sus la munte (remake): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoEwHcWE2KQ

 Remade this one in 2020 for my friend's birthday. Well, only the beginning reminisces of the original, as the rest of the remade parts went through the grinding process of a black hole.

Remade this in 2013 from a fragment I had from my friend back in 2006, while I was on holiday at his residence. Took about a week (not in total; few hours per day). It's one of the few drum and bass-like stuff I ever made.
