The title “Poem” comes from “Tales”, which in turn is derived from “Idol Tales”, a Project Eyestare song, but that aside. After all, a poem is a kind of tale.
Poem's chords are partly the same as Idol Tales, but played at a lower position and also in a different tempo and rhythm.

Just like with “Dark Sphere”, my intention was to ask a singer to write lyrics and a vocal line, but unfortunately that didn't work out either.
That is why I am publishing it now as I had already recorded it more than two years ago with Melle Rodewijk on drums.
The only difference is that I remixed it and played a new bass line as well.
The album "Cycle", my second album, is now complete.
Now I can continue working on album “III”.

Dark Sphere originated as one of the first songs when I started using my new studio at the end of 2015.
I've had the idea for a long time and tried to ask singers to write lyrics and vocal lines for it, but that didn't work out.
That's why I recently added a guitar solo to it, one that deviates slightly from my beaten path.
The song has a dark atmosphere and you soon think of Black Sabbath-like solos, but the harmonic minor scale is also possible.
I went for the latter, something I used to do, but then I didn't realize it was about harmonic minor, I just did my thing.

…and I basically still do… \m/

Unfortunately the camera stopped filming me halfway through, because it ran out of disk space, but the footage of Melle Rodewijk smashing his drum kit should do the trick as well. 
In the end it's about the music and a video is really just an afterthought, so please consider listening to it on Bandcamp as well.

If you like me to continue doing stuff like this, you may want to consider becoming a patron.

Revelation originated between Christmas and new years eve 2021, when I was playing one of my acoustics.
I thought it blends nicely with an electric guitar with some ICE delay from my Timeline delay pedal.
A few days later I created a rhythm and lead part and there we have another song ready.
I experimented quite a bit with the mix, because I wanted it to sound better, like I also did with "Mizar" a few weeks ago.
Especially the drums have been treated with extra attention.
