After rearrangement experiment with the song "Nemesis" in the Shades EP, I got carried away looking for hidden souls in my previous compositions and then a brutal-metal track becomes a fun swing-jazz and a 70s rock-ballad becomes a latin-jazz.
Listen to original tracks ("Shinigami" and "The Star Watcher") here.

In keeping with the theme, I thought I would write a classic blues-shuffle that was missing from my compositions and then turn to something more sophisticated by developing musical progressions that I had been working on for a while, the result was a jazz-fusion piece that I am very proud of.
