So after almost a full week, I'm uploading the third part of the archival series. I don't know where I'll stop with these, because probably by the time I finish the second album, there will most like be enough outtakes and demos for a whole

new part. As of now there are 7, but that might be a subject to change. Also this marks I believe the first time I actually used any of these songs in my first album "The Tale Of Kernier". The melody from Jazz1 is one of the main overly present motifs from the album, most noticable on "Uneven Rag", "Dreaming By The Seashore", "It Was Just For Fun" and the medley of the album "All That You Took Away". The other two motifs present in multiple of the songs are taken from either my first composition "Interesting Meeting", and what will later appear as "Zuwer" and "Unsettling Meeting", or from one other piece that will show up in part 4 of the archival series. As you probably also could notice there are a lot of remixes of different already existing songs here, and the one I took the most creative liberty with here would be 33c. with me including the main motif from t_finished on it. Oh and also, around the last days of Summer 2022 I experimented a bit with a software called musescore, which is why there are some AI versions of some songs. One last thing, this time around, there are two reasons for why I specifically cut off at Jazz4, is that because it was the last of my tries at the Jazz genre at the time, and also because I once again switched softwares, this time to an actual legit version of FLS, and the first few compositions were specifically made to try to get the hang of the software. I do believe most of the compositions are pretty solid, especially the last bunch. I got really inspired by the soundtrack of the originals seasons of TtTE while doing them. Jazz3 is pretty interesting, because I almost completely forgot it, noticing it only at the last second. I am sure I made a slower version of it, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I do believe that as of now, it is lost media. With that being pretty much it, I wish whoever will decide to listen a nice experience and a nice day.
