Like a lot of my fellow gamers, I've been marked forever by the soundtracks of the games I played. I'm a musician at heart and I can play the guitar, so I rearrange video game music to make it sound as if a rock band was performing it. It's my own way of thanking all the talented composers that originally created it.

Music
This is the first cover album that I've released online, way back in 2004. It was before I even heard about the video game music remixing community, and I was completely unaware that so many people were attempting to do the same thing. That's why every song in this album has that sort of raw, and straight-to-the-point feeling.
I started working on it in 2003, during my studies, and my goal was to produce this album as quickly as possible, without overlapping too much on my homework - either way it did overlap too much, actually. So I wrote very simple arrangements, recorded one song on each week-end, and did not pay much attention to the mixing process.
Sharing this album is what originally motivated me to bring a website up. It also contains the song that sort of started it all for me online, as "The Imprisoning War" is the song that got me noticed on VGMix.
