All original. This was composed long ago, which is why it sounds like a flashback to some of my earliest work. This version has been saved/forgotten for about 2 or 3 years; I never uploaded it because I thought I might add more to it some day. But when I listened to it recently, it seemed like it was basically complete already. So here it is, after some finishing touches.
I could not think of a title, but then I remembered my song "Oases", which was like a tribute or soundtrack to the Arizona desert. This composition has a slightly different sound, but I think it has that same kind of mood with a harsh intensity, and also a rather mysterious beauty. So I consider this a continuation of that soundtrack.
Thanks so much for listening and sharing (honest) opinions. The picture was found on google. Oh, and don't forget, I will be uploading at least 1 song or video every month in 2014.
God bless!
