Thanks to the kind collaboration of Cam "Milamber" Holman, I've finally managed to post a track of mine on SoundCloud. You can find it here. It's called "Nocturnia" and was written and recorded by myself with some friends I'm listing below here, in late 2011. Nocturnia means "Nocturnal things" in Latin and that's what the piece is about: it's an attempt to describe a troubled, uneasy night. The ending bars are meant to represent the sun rising and the dawn, while the final chord stands for full daylight.
There is some narration in Italian at the beginning, which I also wrote. Here is a translation of what I'm saying.
Night is a creature with a changeable face and multitudinous aspects:
there is the night which protects children, immersed in their dreams,
and there is the night which is an accomplice of thieves, who exploit darkness to act.
There's the romantic night of lovers exchanging affections,
and there's the thoughtful night of who is without company, alone with oneself.
There's the night which filies away in a blaze, amid dancing, music and happiness,
and then there's the endless night, the gloomy one, the one of desperation with no exit,
but that, after all, always brings within itself some hope that, sooner or later,
there may be born, for everyone, a new day.
The credits are as follows:
Drums - Marco Contento
Bass Guitar - Giuseppe Genise
Electric Guitars - Giammarco De Bonis
Everything else - me. 
Produced & Engineered by Cesare Sampognaro; mixed by Cesare and myself.

and about Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), an Italian prog group from the Seventies. But yes, Goblin are prog, so I guess a bit of Goblin may have crept into my piece as well - especially into the drums part, which was arranged (like everything else) by myself.
