Hguols was started in 2009 as a project of opportunity, originally something I advertised as "The Bombastic black metal soundtrack". I call it a project of opportunity because I had the knowledge to play guitar/drums at that time, but didn't have those instruments anymore. I had lost everything in my addiction and in 2009, was actually working in a long term recovery program... one that I went through myself since 2007. I decided to try to emulate everything I wished I could play, using MIDI - and ended up liking the results.
4 albums (released 2009, 2010, 2010 and 2011) and two singles (that were video game music covers) were moderately well received, but obviously I moved onto projects where I recorded real instruments when I had them again.
Since I'm in a position where my health is not good enough to play and record, I thought about releasing an album - maybe just some songs - under the Hguols moniker again if my spirit and mind was willing. It was actually something that was more appealing to me in 2016 because, I have better sequencing instruments than when I did Hguols.
....much better.
Just threw this together in a few hours. I've still got an understanding of how to create music like this.
I'm not planning on using this "sample" as part of a future song - consider it one possible instrument sound and writing test.
As for how the sample is written musically, its pretty dissonant. ...which I think is a good reflection of how I feel about EVERYTHING in my life right now due to my cancer journey.
If you want to listen to the 36 second MP3, you can - just to see a glimpse of a possible outcome of another Hguols Attempt - here's the link.

Keep in mind, I wouldn't be asking you guys if I already had my mind made up. If you've got a better idea, I'm all ears.
Thank you,
