Made this one way back in 2014 for my friend's birthday. He's the one who introduced me to electronic music, namely the making of. His sketch is from 2008. At least that's when I got my hands on it.
your mind (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiexM1E9rMM
Made this around 2008. As all of the ones in this style, started on classical guitar.
winter war (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQxA6ePDEiQ
Made this one in 2010 originally intended as concept music for a
Warcraft III total conversion mod called Fall of Draenor back at
Hiveworkshop. It didn't really materialize and thus the track's purpose
changed to Nomadic Cult's. The track was supposed to be used as main menu music but I remember the project leader wasn't all that satisfied with it.
unnamed mystery (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y8xNUoEJfU
Composed this one around 2006-2007, starting the sketch on classical guitar. Not that much to say about it except it follows the style I had back then.
march of glory (semi-original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcQmbtXxuQg
Made for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/).
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.
Started out with the ambient part and then went straight to action but got conflicting ideas, thus the battle part is more of two parts with the second/last being a bit more atmospheric. Took me a lot to finish this one because I kept not finding the proper time to record some electric guitar parts.
underworld (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mNStt45aAA
Created around 2008. One of my first drum and bass tracks. It gave me an idea similar to Darkness but with some crazy catsnake creatures somewhere underground.
underwater cavern (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAUOP7tSW10
Made this around 2009, I reckon. It gave me an idea to be used as action-adventure game much like Darkness. Basically, I pictured something like Tomb Raider on another planet's underground.
tribal religion (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5maCvkuxwk
Made this one in 2010 originally intended as concept music for a Warcraft III total conversion mod called Fall of Draenor back at Hiveworkshop. It didn't really materialize and thus the track's purpose changed to Nomadic Cult's.
space (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unQdz7ppOGI
Like most stuff in those old years, this was started on classic guitar. Made this around 2008. It's the same style I was having back then like other recently uploaded stuff.
sky platform arena (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKz9-HZAmro
Originally made this around 2007. It was two versions but I mixed them soon after and made one track with contrasting tempos and electronic-orchestral styles. I got an idea about a sort of either anime or bird's view boss fight for it and maybe it might end up in some Warcraft III related material/map set in a custom made universe or something, inspired by Tomb Raider.
samurai ballet (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6Pcaj5J91U
Can't really remember when I made this one, possibly between or around 2010-2011. I didn't practically intend it to be soundtrack for something even though it sounds like it and/or is inspired by such type of music but it later gave me an idea that it might be useful in one my Warcraft III campaign ideas.
pressure machine (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mUKolVNFN8
Made this one around 2007. It's one of the weird bunch. Years later, after I worked on https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/starcraft-reincarnation-brood-war-custom-campaign.223090/ while listening to it, I got an idea of a chapter for the continuation of the campaign inspired by Abe's Oddysee. Still theory, though.
photon demons (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNUx8mq6-3Q
Created this one around 2008. Pretty crazy stuff that I could up with than my usual nutty works. It soon gave me an idea to write a story in an alternate history setting where the Italian mafia and the Vatican gained much control over the world post World War I-II. It was supposed to be about conspiracy theories and the strife of mankind against the hourglass that is the sun. Of course, it never got past some ideas, like most my things.
nomadic cult (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh_nEKUu1Yc
Made this one in 2010 for a Hiveworkshop music contest. Back then composers also had to submit their entries along with a sort of description or little story about the theme of the composition. So, mine was about that what the track is named like but in fantasy terms. I then got an idea for a Heroes of Might & Magic III campaign but the editor was really limited in what it could do and the 4th game was not really that different in that regard and the 5th's editor was too complicated. Thus, I thought I'd do a real time kind of a campaign for Warcraft III in the universe of Heroes of Might & Magic (Erathia and beyond) but to this day it has remained only in planning.
leprechaun king (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaIKzhMTIO0
Originally made this one in 2011 for a Hiveworkshop contest but ended up being a judge. Me and the other judge criticized our tracks regardless. The story for it was something about a delusional child speaking with people that the kid perceived as animals and plants. Anyway, it then gave me the idea for a part or continuation of a Heroes of Might & Magic type campaign for Warcraft III that I have not yet made (something with a leprechaun as an evil character pulling the strings).
kratos forever (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIyRCHsta0s
Made this one in 2009. It's heavily inspired on God of War game series music. One of my first proper and complete orchestral genre tracks. Sometime after, not sure how late I got an idea of a Warcraft III campaign inspired by those games featuring a tauren protagonist but it will probably never go beyond concept on paper.
initiation (original) [reverse]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Z87U5PDvM
Since 2016 or so, I started reversing my compositions to see if anything would end up different and good to listen to. This one actually did and gave me an idea for an action scene where stuff gets reversed temporarily and forth and so on until you find a way to escape/stop the loop.
initiation (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2FVJ3-JKQo
I think I composed this one around 2009 or so. One of my weirdest for sure and few drum and bass tracks I made.
haunted (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3i9HseuinE
Made this one around 2007. I also had some sentimental lyrics for it but were dropped quickly. Sometime later I got an idea for a short story about an extraterrestrial phantom haunting a mansion but I will probably never write it.
darkness (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-SDzB4RLE
I don't exactly remember what the intent was, if any but it gave me an idea of an action scene where some character would run, shoot or do something palpitating in almost total darkness, hence the name. It's a bit different from my usual electronic stuff. I experimented a bit with this one.
Made and tweaked this sometime between 2008-2009.
tears of ice (semi-original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7JwqL2n310
Made for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/).
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.
It was supposed to only be a piece for a peaceful place but I had this urge and idea to make an action theme of it so, well, two parts eventually of which one is indeed calm. A suite of sorts. Took some time to fit everything together and I'm still not liking many of the transitions but overall, I think it's OK.
elf melancholy+elf melancholy (2nd) [original]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Hmq-Sad7tI
Made this around 2007-2008 if not earlier. Guess I was inspired by The Lord of the Rings and World of Warcraft music. I then got an idea of some short Warcraft III campaign set between somewhere between Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne or even after the Frozen Throne, pertaining an elf woman warrior discovering an active band of satyrs corrupting a part of Ashenvale. Some time after, I thought I'd actually use Shandris as the protagonist.
beyond the serpent gate (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzx9T8wybcY
Created this around 2009. It made me think of some scene with serpent creatures, the Warcraft III naga at first, maybe, but then I had this idea of a humanoid reptilian race for the continuation of my custom StarCraft: Brood War campaign Reincarnation: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/starcraft-reincarnation-brood-war-custom-campaign.223090/
haven of the lost (semi-original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5gsLI-TUyg
Made for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/).
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.
Different from the previous ones in style and sounding, more contemporary than classical or traditional music based. Tad monotonous. Not satisfied with the ending but it'll have to do as the one before was worse.
run (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxesdVnR42k
Made this around 2010 and it's the second of my pieces that has live instrument recordings in it. Turned the classic guitar sound electric with a distorsion program from the digital audio station.
Been heavily inspired by things like Unreal Tournament 2004. I guess it would work in a custom map for that game. Never got around to properly work in its editor. Seemed pretty complex at that time compared to the one for Half-Life, for example.
ghosts of Egypt (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWAMEaPg6r4
Made this around 2012 which then gave me an idea to the continuation of my custom StarCraft: Brood War campaign Reincarnation: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/starcraft-reincarnation-brood-war-custom-campaign.223090/
If I ever would end up making the sequel, it'd probably be on Warcraft III.
This piece along with the already made campaign gave me the idea for at least two more musical sketches.
Brenellia anthem (semi-original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7cii8xrxc8
Made for Shea Easterbrook's Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/).
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.
In this one I went a bit out of the theme here and there especially when the more middle eastern touch comes in. Also, it has a pause after a buildup. I don't really like pauses but sometimes they work.
dark fantasy concept (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoXuU8iZc9w
Made this around 2008 as I was imagining creating a custom campaign for the game Armies of Exigo but the editor was really unfriendly so I eventually had to give up since the end result would have been really unsatisfactory.
In what the music is concerned, well, it's not that musical, it's more like some short tries.
temple of the eternal prophet (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipSYVienQw0
Started this one back in 2020 and finished it this year. Took so long because I tried figuring out how to fit the organ part to the horns. Had no inspiration all this time. Leaving some pause felt awkward. Directly starting with the organ right after the horns part isn't good either but at least it helps keep a continuous flow.
I'm trying to make a whole soundtrack for a Warcraft III campaign my team is working on (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/acolyte-of-life.330425/). Hope I will succeed, heh.
song of Fira (semi-original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQtuVF14o0s
Recently, Shea Easterbrook contacted and asked me to compose for his years of work Warcraft III map Daemonic Sword (https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/daemonic-sword-orpg.210092/). At first, I was a bit reluctant considering my short free time but eventually I gave it a shot.
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.
Tried having a repeating theme but varying in style to avoid monotony.
Created in 2022.
snowballs (original): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfCWiuI5yY0
Started this one in the same project file as trance warrior's march and quarrel, so around 2009-2010. Finished it in 2019. One of the few that doesn't sound melancholic.
light & dark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S96FaPRo7vA
This was part of a contest in 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfnH6U-uqAM
Tried to make this a bit more strange than usual electronic music type I compose, keeping a pressing yet moving mood.
