After postponing the final render of this track, I finally got around to finishing it. It is in 100kbps in order to fit the entire thing in one submission, so the quality isn't all that great. You can visit this link if you want to take a listen to a better quality version of this track.

My journey hasn't been a long one yet. I started composing back in 2013, but eventually gave up on that due to stuff happening in life I'd rather like to forget. Nevertheless, I took a hiatus of over a year until the beginning of 2016, when I started to understand what composing is about. I want to tell stories through sound and share whatever I got in mind with the world I am living in. And thus, I started composing more and more, allowing myself to do more and to take my time in doing so.

Over 200 hours of work over the span of 2 months were put in this track, a track inspired by myself, the road I've taken to end up where I am now. Inspired by themes and melodies from my old tracks and ideas that never saw the daylight, but always have stayed in mind.

All with all, I am not perfect and neither is my music. I will never be happy with what I'm doing but on the other hand, I will try not to disappoint myself. I just will strive towards perfection - to ascend as a composer, to tell my story.

It all begins here, right at this point. We only can move forward.
