While a majority of the beats/melodies I make are pretty serendipitous, the beats in this playlist have a calculated, deeper meaning behind them. These are beats that I created in my highest points in happiness and my lowest points in despair. I also really like these, I feel that I make my best stuff when I'm at these points in my life (even though according to SoundCloud, my trap beats do the best numbers, glad I don't care about that!)

Beats Close to my Heart

Experimentation. During the last 2 years, I've tried to branch away from Hip/Hop sounding beats to more DnB-like beats. At first I'd just use premade DnB loops throughout the entire beat. I then changed to having my own original beat in the forefront and a DnB loop as a backing track to make my beats sound more full, examples of this are Moving Forward (By the Boot Straps) and The Tyrant (2022). More recently with Code L.T. I've cut the DnB loops into 2 separate patterns, one is just the kick and the other is just the snare (plus any other little hihat/cymbal sound if I like it) and I sequenced it myself, I feel it's more original that way, also more dynamic and less predictable. Anyway, my views are pretty low in this era, though I don't care much. My friends check it out, alongside a few SoundCloud artists and that's enough for me.

The profile picture displayed on most of the beats is the profile picture I had at the time: Dexter from Dexter's Lab and Plank from Ed, Edd n Eddy. Please don't look for the original source though...

K: Beats of Experimentation (2021 - 2023)

Pizza Girl : Speed Demon City

Been playing Ape Escape a bit and kinda got inspired to make a beat but I don't really want this one on my main account so in the Alt account it goes!

[2021 CONCEPT] Ape Escape Type Beat

Been feeling conflicted with my future recently but I picked myself back up and I'm ready to look ahead in anticipation again. Anyway, enjoy!

P.S.: I had originally made this beat way back in 2014, forgot about it, randomly found it 7 years later, did some MASSIVE fixes to it and the rest is history!

Keeping Hope

Oh? Wasn't expecting me were ya? I wasn't expecting me either but my muse finally came home and gave me some inspiration. I guess this is the real end of the year beat. Enjoy and see you next year!

Edit 11/22/22: I didn't say at the time but I know why I called this one "Focus." I don't know if I projected it well but I hear the main guitar/bass line melody as representing my positive and optimistic viewpoint of my future while the high pianos represent my sadness and uncertainty of it. The synth and sax duo are to represent confusion and doubt and finally the main guitar synth is to represent my focus, to never give in and to keep going. In the second half, the piano/synth section is to represent how I want to give up and don't want to get back up even though I know I have to. And then it finally ends with the same guitar/bass line melody to re-establish that even though I want to give up, I know I won't and know that I will succeed.

...and that's my overanalysis of my own beat. Later!

Focus!

Found an old test beat I made back in 2015 for mixing dnb presets together. I remember it being really fun to test!

[2015 CONCEPT] DnB Mixing Test Beat

Not gonna lie, I feel like this beat is incomplete but I just can't think where to take it. So instead of letting it rot in my Projects folder I'm just gonna post it.

Revamped Perception

Yo. It's been a while. A lot's happened since I've been gone, a first of many goals have been achieved. Time for me to move forward and keep it going. Oh yeah, also I've had MAJOR creative block and just couldn't think of anything to bring to the table here lol. Enjoy!

Moving Forward (By The Boot Straps)

long story short, missing a vst and melancholia ended up sounding like this. i liked it so put it on the beta account. enjoy!

Melancholia (Accidental Minimized Version)

It's that time of the year again! This beat is more like something I would've made back in 2018/2019 but I had lots of fun making it. See you all in the next year!


Fun Fact: This beat is a re imagining of a lost beat that I created back on Christmas 2012! If you notice on my Beta Beat Account, the beta version of this beat is called "Frosted", this is because the original name of the 2012 version was "Frozen". It's just a little callback lol.

Closure

Well hello there...didn't expect to be here again this year but my muse was like, "AY YO, I GOTTA BEAT FOR YOU!" so here we are. This is the REAL end of the year beat from me (I PROMISE). 

Throughout this year, I've noticed that I've become a bit stagnant when it comes to creating beats/melodies, afraid of things sounding too experimental and I was a bit envious of the younger me that didn't care about any of that and just wanted to have fun. This beat is essentially combining the me of the past (pre 2017) and the me of now. I really like how this turned out, even though I feel it's too experimental to put on the main account. Enjoy and see you all next year (for real this time!)

Beat Trivia!: The name comes from the fact that it sounds really spacey, combining D&B and retro synths tend to do that but I also called it that because I, myself, am currently exploring into uncharted territory in my life, in a good way of course but still, the name just fits to me.

Uncharted Territory

Been listening to too much jungle music, got inspired and felt that this beat needed a refresh. Enjoy!

Edit 4/24/23: When did this get over 200 views?? Wow, you all must've really liked this incarnation of me lol! To be fair, I really like this one too.

Edit: 5/31/24: Whoa, didn't even realize that this hit over 300 views now! Amazing!

Good Morning (2020)

Happy New Years and all that junk! This melody's been a long time coming and I'm pretty happy at how this one turned out (though if my PC didn't go kaput out of nowhere I would have made it even better!) Oh well, enjoy!

Shouldering On Forward (Chiru 2020)

Been feeling a lot of things since that whole "you know what" thing happened at the Capitol and I just needed to get my feelings out in musical form.

Division Of Ideals

Just got a bit of inspiration to make a soft and short DnB beat. Been really trying to get better at making these only using my own beats rather than premade loops since I really love the genre and would like to transition into making more (see what I did there?) Plus, making the beat myself just adds a bit more of a unique touch in my opinion. Got another project in the works right now that currently has an Alpha version posted on my alt account. Anyway enjoy!

Transition

I was really conflicted when I made this beat and ended up making two different versions. I just decided to go and post them both. This is the original form of the beat and while the Night version is my favorite of the two, I still like this one as well. The Day version is definitely a bit more wild and fast paced compared to the more refined and collected vibe of the Night version.

Life On The Ridge (Day Version)

I was really conflicted with my latest beat as I ended up making two versions of it so I decided to just finish and post both. Out of the two, this is definitely my favorite version but I'm a sucker for slow beats. Maybe I should make more?

Life On The Ridge (Night Version)

I'm a fledgling...composer? artist? Whatever you want to call me that makes primarily "experimental" Jungle and Hip Hop beats (though, I sometimes delve into other genres occasionally). Most of the beats that I make are pretty serendipitous and spontaneous, leaving me to have bouts of creative blocks, unfortunately. I have no concept or knowledge of sound theory or whatever, I just make stuff that sounds cool to me!

Everything I make is free to download and use for any non-commercial purpose, the only thing I'd like is a shout-out!

If you want to remix my stuff, even better! Just send over a shout-out and let me listen to it, I'd love to see what cool stuff you could make out of it!

I started making beats back in late 2008 on Garageband, moved on to PSP Rhythm in late 2009 and then to FL Studio in late 2012. Has it really been that long...? Man, I'm getting old.

I'm influenced mostly by a mix of the hip hop/rap beats I heard as a kid back in the late 90s/early 2000s, games that I played during that time and Soichi Terada (the guy who made the music for Ape Escape)

Secondary influences have to definitely be Rukunetsu, Marcell2aG (Negrosaki) (been a fan of both since 2009!) and Amprsand (been a fan since 2010!). Another realization is that NomedBeats (been a fan since 2014!) is another influence and maybe even more prominent than the others, lol.

The links at the bottom are as followed:

1). My beta account, where I post WIP stuff, old beats that had to be deleted due to the lack of space (I didn't used to pay for Next Pro) and beats from before I made my SoundCloud account back in late August of 2017.

2) The CONventional Podcast, a podcast a friend of mine does about various anime conventions. If you're a big fan of cons, I'd definitely give it a listen!

3) My VRChat Account. I don't really play anymore but who knows, I'll probably go back in to roleplay a Roomba again someday, lol.

If you made it all the way here without skipping, I just want to say thanks for reading and learning a little bit about me, it really means a lot!
