Hungarian Dance. This is a really old video. When I was coming up with Blessed be thy Harvest, I played around with a lot of variations on the melody, and this is one of them. I never used it to make a song but I thought I'd share it here.

Percussive fingerstyle guitar riff in Drop D tuning to give it that heavy metal sound. Might be somewhat inspired by Tool's Aenima... unintentionally. Needs some refining, but that is the kind of stuff I've been working on for the past six months.

Piano and string arrangement of The Wolf and the Moon from my album Abrahamic. The photos for the video were taken by me and edited using artificial intelligence (DreamStudio by Stability.ai.) to add a psychedelic, magical and mystical effect. I was impressed by the beauty of the results that this AI was able to produce.

An epic symphonic arrangement of the song Deep Down Beneath the Mountains from my album Abrahamic.

An arrangement of Reflections from my album Abrahamic for piano, drums, cello and viola. A minimalist and somewhat nostalgic song.

Original composition by Martin Schillaci.

Synth metal version of The Hour of Horus from my guitar solo album Abrahamic. Originally for solo guitar but arranged for two synthesizers and drum set. Original composition by Martin Schillaci.

Blessed be Thy Harvest from the album Abrahamic, in the style of neo folk or dark folk, arranged for harp, flute, oboe, bassoon, and cello quintet. The video features videos and pictures of cute animals, including my dog up some trees, random pictures of nature I had, and album art.

Original composition by Martin Schillaci.

The Hour of Horus, draft version. This is the second part of The Eagle and the Serpent

Tempest from the darkfolk and accoustic metal album Abrahamic arranged for piano and strings (violin, viola, cello and double bass). Original composition by Martin Schillaci.

Blessed be thy Harvest from the album Abrahamic adapted for violin. This was quite tricky to play, and I think it sounds best on piano and guitar, but I wanted to make a version of this in a variety of instruments.

Blessed be thy Harvest from the album Abrahamic, piano version. I originally composed this song for guitar. The great thing about arranging this for the piano is that is has allowed me to explore the harmonic range of the song. Now I am working on a new version for the guitar which includes some of these new harmonies. The mood of the song is quite different from the original.

Draft version of Blessed be thy Harvest from the fingerstyle guitar solo album Abrahamic.
