The Moorlough Shore
I stumbled upon the acapella for this song on looperman, and found the vocals really interesting- I’m part Irish myself and love the Irish culture, especially the music. Well, originally it is a Scottish folk song, but the Irish adapted the melody for another song, and Nabil Khazzaka sung this with an Irish accent so it’s ok :)

It was interesting working with new material, quite different from my other stuff. It was tricky to do Nabil’s vocals justice!

Repairing Remnants
Track 5 on Kaburorne
This track was another collaboration, but with a fellow electronic musician- Project Smammi. I showed him a loop (the first bass and synth stab part) that I was getting no-where with, then he sent it back with some drums. It kind of just passed between us like that until the end. The title ‘Repairing Remnants’ comes from the guitar part, which was recorded by me, then sliced into chunks and re-arranged. So the guitar has been shattered in some kind of robotic, chemical war, and a rebel organisation is trying to piece it back together to restore their race. Or something like that. It made for a trippy conversation on msn with Gnome, anyway.

Silver Memory
Track 4 on Kaburorne
This is arguably the track I’m most proud of. It started out that I heard the original by Hania, and noticed in the description she wanted to collab with someone on it. It was great fun collaborating with her, she’s a very friendly and supportive person.
As you can hear I really wanted to make a U-turn on the style. I still wanted it to be powerful and melodic, but in a different way.
The Newgrounds community loved it, and it got on the top scoring list. My only song with lyrics, yet.
