Created the sketch around 2010-2011 (if I recall correctly); finished it today. At first I was going for the trance inspired. Had to slow the tempo down so I could play something that required too much speed on my hands and realized that the musical piece sounded somewhat different slower so I then incorporated a sort of ballad part and thus ended up to a more than 5 minute composition. It's one of the fewest works I don't have much to dislike about.

Double the philanthropy:
mcraciu (remake): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8jlVb7aakA&feature=youtu.be
Started this four days ago and it pretty much got off the track of reminiscence but it sounds pretty good overall, energetic even if with a bit of a melancholic mood.
It's one of those songs that should be sang on the 6th of December (depending on which calendar) and not on Christmas Eve because it is about Saint Nicholas and the only thing related to presents during Christmas is the visiting of Jesus by the three magi, if we're not to extrapolate, that is.

One God with many names:
mishary bin rashid al-afasy+nissa sabyan (mix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGxxORVTtRU&feature=youtu.be
I liked the original (Mishary Afasy's) with the exception of the little girl's voice. It just didn't sound right with everything there. I also very much liked the choir. Then, I searched for various versions of the song to see if there was one without the little girl's voice. I didn't find one but I found Nissa Sabyan and her voice is amazing. So, with no proper electronic version of this song out there (there's a rock one by the way; I thought of doing such a version too), I decided to have Nissa's voice instead of the little girl's.
I'm not fully satisfied with the result because I wanted to add more instrumentation which I didn't have that much inspiration for especially when I could not isolate the vocals. I had to leave the piano from Nissa's cover and the bass line from both versions even though this one was toned down.
It's basically my first vocal mix.
Started it some days ago. Finished it today.

Begun this one on classical guitar way back between 2009-2010. The lyrics were more but too harsh on some parts and my contemporary self did not agree with those. Every teacher has a way of conveying something and students might like it or not.

Started this one pre-2012 on classical guitar (as most of my songs). Finally made it on an electric guitar. The general idea was kept even for the lyrics (the chorus). The rest was made this year.
It usually takes a couple (two to three) of days to make most songs assuming I find the necessary sound (effects/instruments) in time and have some inspiration for the weaker parts and the percussion which I don't like to be exactly the same.

The mind without the brain? The other way is known as possible.

Had this idea of a dark toned rock ballad song for so long. I really don't like working on lyrics that much. I think it ended up pretty nice, being a rock hybrid.
Started this one sometime around or before 2012.
