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)

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!
