This is one of my favorite "songs". In this particular piece, I tried to offer a hellish, dramatic, even insane insight into the rotten world of Die Schwarze Schlange. It was an effort to provide a landscape of a "dark side" of what the concept of Die Schwarze Schlange represents (more info on this issue, go here).

I must confess that I was absolutely delighted with the final result. Some people even told me that they felt afraid after listening to it. That was exactly my intention.

Die Schwarze Schlange

***********************************************************************

Note: The entire Also sprach die Schlange compilation is not yet available online. I prefer to let songs go out gradually, so you can analize each track one at a time.

Also sprach die Schlange (an obvious reference to Nietzsche's classic work) is the title chosen to name the very first compilation of songs made by me. It consisted of 20 tracks and an extra "hidden" track appearing after 34, 5 seconds lasting, empty tracks, making a total of 55 tracks together in a standard CD. The songs were created using Fruity Loops 4 computer program; only two of the total tracks were made using Apple's GarageBand.

Circumstances under which I created the songs were quite difficult. The fact is that I completed the recordings from Also sprach die Schlange in aprox. 2 months. By the time I decided to make this compilation, I had already about half the tracks finished; these completed songs were made the in previous 2 years. In mid-2005 the remaining tracks of the CD were completed.

I only gave out 2 copies of the CD; one for someone unimportant, the other for my friend Andrea. There's only one exisiting CD with the songs encoded in .cda and .mp3 audio formats, as well as in the original .fla Fruity Loops format; this CD, or course, is in my possession.

After making Also sprach..., followed a long period of inactivity, during which I refused to compose anything else. Luckily, things happened that made me had new ideas again. These ideas have been expressed in other songs yet to be finished.

This one was composed in 2005. It was no. 4 from the Also sprach die Schlange CD. I had such a sudden moment of inspiration (?) and finished the track in aprox. 1 hour.
The Plague

This song was made in 2000. The original recording has been lost in the dark of past times. But i re-recorded it; it is this file that recording. I erroneously stated before that this one is the only I actually have; in fact, none of the recordings I made at those days still lives on my possession. Anyway, My memory is healthy enough to remember them well, so I may record them in years to come. This song is just like a mark, like a symbol of a certain period in my life. Nothing else should be inferred.
