I wrote this song a year ago accompanied by a simple pop-ballad arrangement. I decided to deconstruct the song and make an alternative music twist. Enjoy. :)

Trying (Original Song) - Jessen Ocbina

A cover of BTS' The Truth Untold played in a rainy bedroom on old speakers.

Experiment in simulated ambient soundscape + cover. Intentionally lo fi vocal to cover up my horrible pronunciation.

[cover/ambient] the truth untold (bts) - in a rainy bedroom

D.S.L.- Swallowed By The Whale

This beautiful track is originally by Wolf Alice. I'm deeply in love with it at the moment. 

Lyrics

Your mum created you a small heaven
I was there just an hour
I could tell that you'd be leaving
So cruelly beyond all our power

Go heavenward
Like all earth angels should

I'm gonna celebrate you forever
You taught us things we all should learn
Yeah, I'm gonna celebrate you forever
And long to see you when it's my turn

Go heavenward
Like all earth angels should

I see you dancing on, you dancing on

Heavenward - Wolf Alice (Cover)

I wrote this for the people who have continuously supported me despite all my self-doubt and insecurities! You are all lovely humans! Thank you! <3

Special thank you to the wonderful people who I have collaborated with in this project/demo:
To my good friend, the amazing Dan Tristan haha, thank you for helping me record and lending your mixing and mastering skills to this song! 
And also the talented Frances Pintor, who made this beautiful artwork! 

Locked doors, scared of my own ghost
I'm loading boxes in my mind
Frustations, doubts of any kind

But you are a thousand mingled rays of warmth
Keeping me safe
Making me feel that I'm worth it

And everytime, I feel so weary

You tuck me in your arms
You tell me everything will be fine
Say a hundred times
Flowers bloom when you look into my eyes
Into my soul


Built walls, hated my own skin
I'm not the easiest person to love, darling
You have seen the worst parts of me
And you said we can't have roses without the thorns

I wrote this song for you~

((🎧 listen with earphones 👂))

Wrote a song about being anxious and apologetic at 2AM. Sometimes we reflect about our day (or our lives in general) and get drowned with all the worry and pressure.

Here's a little reminder for everyone to be kinder to ourselves. Sleep early (if you can 😉), drink lots of water 🥛 (drinking mine now while typing this) and let go of all those gloomy thoughts when you lay down on your bed to rest 🛌. For now, dream and let tomorrow worry about itself. 🌤

Will you, will you forgive me?
I only wear blue
With my dirty sneakers 
And my dizzy daydreams
I need some distraction
Fighting the demon that's in my head

So I'll just tell myself

Go get some sleep
Come and rest your head
Allow yourself to dream instead

Am I too loud?
Am I too quiet?
Sorry if I'm late again
Sorry I can't be everything you need
I'm not what you need

Sleep Talk (original)

This song is about loving and accepting yourself. Let's support each other's flaws and grow from there :)

MARIKIT (Original Demo)

A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me -- Fall Out Boy (cover)

Leanne and Naara - Again (cover)

A collision of random arpeggios, subtle string pads, electronic beats in a tight array of Alternative Rock, Dubstep, Trip-hop and Folktronica, that's the sound Jessen Ocbina has to offer. Creating and synthesizing music only by ear juxtaposed with his humble lyrical elements. Jessen Ocbina cites Canadian Electropop songstress, LIGHTS his primary influence along with Icelandic Avant Garde pioneer Bjork, Nu Metal band, Linkin Park and Philippines' very own Rico Blanco.
