I picked up my B tuned guitar and started trying to figure out how this tune goes, it seemed pretty simple. I love the atmosphere of it and I feel it works out as a single guitar piece.
I just noticed after uploading this that I played the very end of the song wrong. Oh well, I'm rolling with it!

0:00 Intro speech

5:55 Catharsis
This was my presentation on the final talent show I got to be part during my university years. To give some context, the English Pedagogy department put up a talent show for its students every year during early November, so we just, well, show our talents. This was not a competition and it was just a display of what we could do aside from (trying to speak) speaking English and teaching kids how to do it. Unlike previous talent shows in which I was part of temporary bands put together for the show, I decided to perform by myself on this one, doing a medley of Departure and Catharsis, both songs from my album Catharsis, which was ultimately released in May 2019. This special medley had never been officially released until now and it was made specifically for this performance.
The performance was mediocre, the audio kinda sucks but I did what I could blending the original backing track with the audio from the GoPro Hero3 here, tweaking things here and there to make it sound more acceptable.
This is the first time I ever show this footage to anybody. Ive had it for all these years kept away in a hard drive, but never got around doing something with it until today. Also, to the time of uploading this, this has been the one and only proper performance of me as a solo artist. The closest I had gotten to that before was when a group of classmates and me played Backstab (featured in Catharsis Outtakes) for the 2015 version of this talent show.
I hope you enjoy!")
