ha ha - that was the one I listened to first (Riddle for the bright plant) and also liked the most!
Weird names! how did you come up with them - I like the title ''Offensive doctor and his gleaming tools'' - sounds really sinister  :D

I don't care at all if I hurt your feelings undernihilo ............................. but luckily I don't have to - I really enjoyed listening to those!  ;D
Nice to have someone with such talent join the site.
For how long have you been composing your own music?
What are your plans? - are you going to record any vocals to them or to any future compositions or will you leave them as instrumentals?
To be honest, as instrumentals they're really great to listen to, I find some of them really nice and chilled and spacey.
Some have almost a Tool-ish and maybe even Deftones SNW demo quality to them.

If you do decide to do something to add vocals to - I'm not saying this in a bad way - but they are very complex and as such quite difficult to put a melody to.
I'd love to hear something from you, specifically made to have vocals put to it - something a bit more simple with definite repeating  verses and chorus's with a bridge.
Sorry I'm not trying to criticize in any way - I think that as instrumentals, these tracks are amazing and someone like Maynard from Tool would probably create something really sick from them but it would be interesting if you could post something with the aim of having vocals added to it, maybe even something quite aggressive, to see what people could come up with.

Dude - you have serious talent - your My Own Summer cover's the best I've heard by a long shot!

hahaha man at first i got so confused when i was reading your comment ! anyways let me start answering your questions :D
I get that question a lot about the names of the songs , i never did drugs (and belive it or not i never tried to smoke a cigarete) so i assure you the names dont come from some trippy drug experiences its all my imagination and stuff i dream about and sometimes i create
stories in my mind which have really awesome characters for example Umbrella man :P and theres also a character called The Bright Plant  :D
i started playing guitar when i was about 13 - 14 years and along the when i was learning other instruments(bass,drums, synth , making effects , etc...) old im now 19 years old so i have been playing all those instruments for 5-6 years , and i started out ofcourse with a neighbourhood band me and my friends rounded up i was some kind rockish bullshit type of music didnt interest me much but i loved to play so yeah, and today i have a more ''mature'' band called Digital Day where our influences are indeed tool , deftones and other and we are curently working on our first EP (we also do covers of deftones so the vocalist might record over the my own summer instrumental soon :D) so like half a year ago i said fuck it i want to have my own thing aside where i can have full freedom of compositon  and started a project Under Nihilo which is now a one man band led by me :)
as far as vocals go i am also a solid vocalist including screams and other vocal techniuqes , but im more like a back vocal guy for bands :P
my songs are made like for a scene in a movie or a soundtrack , thats actually my wish or dream lets call it ... i would like to be a movie soundtrack composer someday :) so thats why my songs are instrumentals its like they are for a scene or something speaking for themselves without a voice :)  and actually i also heard from some  great Croatian musicians i should leave it this way that the music really does speak for it self without the vocals (im from Croatia btw :) )
and my plans are too make music just to make people happy , i want people to have that feeling like when im listening to deftones or other , that pumped up feeling or emotional chaos inside you :D , and im curently working on a second under nihilo EP which will be also free as the first one i dont really care about the money i just want to make people happy with what i do :)
and yeah that about answers it all :)
im really glad you like my music and the cover , and thank you for your support and everything... those kind of words, comments and stuff like that really make me motivated , thank you :)

Great to see that you're putting your talent to good use.
You've got the best of both worlds there - being able to play and jam in a band with other musicians and also having the freedom to do exactly what you want and to let your imagination take your music wherever it wants to go.
Thanks for sharing your story and your music with us :) - today's world needs more talent like you.
Keep that wonderful music coming !
