yeah, I think all systems are a go go

In case you happen to be wondering, I've still been making music like crazy! The only issue is, I haven't usually finished what I started. I have tons of project files stuck in limbo, some of which I'm super proud of. Hopefully I'll be able to finish all of my good stuff one day, and then I can share it all with you wonderful people.

are all systems a go?

A couple days ago, I felt inspired to create my own cover of a song that one of my friends composed. His song was originally used in a Friday Night Funkin' mod that never came to fruition. However, I still wanted to keep his melodies alive.

Shoutout to my friend @ct3000-304485419 for composing the original song. Check out some of his work, if you want to!

Skimmed (Slick Cover)

This is a short track I made in 2019. Back in high school, I used to love messing around with GarageBand, since it was always available on the school computer. I fell in love with the default instruments they had to offer. 
I never got around to posting this track, but I think this track is perfect just the way it is. I probably should have posted it ages ago.

Colortown

Colortown (2019)

The song that plays when the gremlins come out and taunt you

Gremlin Dance

This is another short GarageBand piece that I'm really proud of. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to save the project files from 2019, so I can't tamper with them anymore.

Scented Analysis

Scented Analysis (2019)

You look up. The lurker is still stalking you.

It Came From Beneath

This is another GarageBand piece from 2019. I was super proud of how it turned out, but I was never able to complete it before the semester was over. It's likely been wiped off of the school computer by now, so the best I could do was loop the song and post it.

That's Quite The Wager!

That's Quite the Wager! (2019)

I made this spooky one all the way back in October 2020, but I never ended up publishing it. I suppose I still wasn't fully satisfied with it up until today. I'm glad I was finally able to get it out!

Twelve Ninjas

Another extremely short GarageBand piece from 2019. 
This was the product of me trying to figure out what a soundtrack for a Don't Hug Me I'm Scared TV show was like. It helped that a lot of the instruments in GarageBand were used in the original series. I added a goofy trap beat at the end to make it sound even cheekier.

Lock Your Doors (2019)

I fooled around with a Richard Scarry sample last winter. I think this turned out perfectly.

Starlite

Another GarageBand piece I never ended up finishing before the school closed down for the late 2019 semester. It's monotonous, but I think it still slaps.

Quiz!

Quiz! (2019)

In January, I wanted to make a tune based on The Sailor's Hornpipe. It soon evolved into this beauty.

Snow Sailing

Another GarageBand piece I couldn't finish. I think it sounds pretty complete on its own though. I'm in love with how warm this one is. If there's one thing I could change, I would have chosen to develop my own drum pattern, instead of nabbing a stock loop from GarageBand.

Moonbrew

Moonbrew (2019)

I made this little dream piece last year. I think it's good enough to post now.

I originally called this track "Deepest Fears" for a couple reasons, but I don't think it fit the tone of the track.

Divine Melt

Purugatori

This track started life in 2020, but last night I decided to extend it into a full song with more variety. The name of the project file was "Trail of Fiber," but I'm not quite sure if it works.

Sorry I Can't Be Excited With You

Last year, I worked on a quick piece of music for a hypothetical video game that doesn't exist yet. I'm not sure if or when it will exist. (I've made the most progress on the soundtrack, and hardly anything else.) However, I didn't think it would hurt to post this here.

Portrait of a Reluctant Knickerbocker

This is another old GarageBand piece that I should have posted sooner. I feel like this is one of the most complete tracks out of all the things I did on GarageBand. It's short and sweet, and I'm a fan of the instrumentation.

The song features a chord progression I've used since the year prior, but I never featured it in a full song. I think it fits here. I used the default Rhodes piano to create a sound that mimics a calliope. It's perfect for drifting off to sleep!

Calliope (2019)

Lavender

This was another track that I just did for fun. I really liked using a 3/4 time measure in my songs, because it added a little "skip" to my songs. I got a little bit of inspiration from The Legend of Zelda. I'm very proud of how this song turned out altogether.

Sky High On Sugar

Fun fact: this song came around when I tried to create my own spin on the "Ground Theme" from the original "Super Mario Bros." game. I liked the way the chords in that song sounded, and I based the chords in this song off of the ones from the ground theme. You may notice some similarities between certain parts of both of these melodies.
(Also, I'm not sure if this is the most I'll do with this song. I really want to use better software to create my music in order to make it sound better. Musescore sounds too basic, but I've got my eye on software such as Garageband where I can adjust the reverberation and the sound of the instrument, if not more. I might also add a good beat to the background when I'm able. For now, I'm going to call this the "lite version.")

Stargaze

I thought I would create a pretty harp piece while I had time, and this was the result. I don't know what I might do with this, but it would be cool if I used it for a soundtrack or something. This piece came out a bit late since it didn't download right at first.

Escape Back To The Meadow

You ever experience something super amazing but couldn't process it for a while because you never expected it to happen? Yeah, that happened to me yesterday, and I really wanted to vent my happy feelings out through music. This is my goodbye and "until we meet again" to the person that I reunited with in person again after three whole years. The hugs were amazing.

Reunion

REUNION

I arranged some more quick instrumental Musescore garbage a few days ago because I was feeling it.

The Night Before Tuesday

I'll tell you my evil story behind weaving this short piece.

Nearly two years ago, one of my friends walked up to me and told me about a certain song that they were listening to that always made them want to cry. I looked the song up on the school computer that I was sitting next to at the time, listened to it, and instantly observed how gorgeous the melody was. This inspired me to go onto GarageBand and compose a calm, pleasant piece based around the chords and bassline of the song as a nice gift for my friend. I liked how it turned out, but I never really thought that it was complete, so I left it as it was.
The next year, I went back onto GarageBand and decided to recreate that track from scratch. This time, however, I made the track with the gentle intent to get under my friend's skin. I decided to make the track more upbeat, with fuller synths, a faster tempo, and a new beat that was heavily sampled from "Guillotine" by Death Grips. I felt that the track was complete about a year ago, and I never made the thing public until now.

The Big Chop

I've been exercising my creativity a bit by giving myself a couple of hours to look at a picture and compose a piece based off of it. The colors in the picture that inspired this tune in particular gave off a vibe that I couldn't (and didn't) say no to.

My vision in making this small piece was to create an extremely primitive and yet extremely pleasing environment, just like the picture did. I thought a lot of my grandmother's old house that she used to live in during a large part of my childhood, a quiet, carefree place in the middle of nowhere with lots of grass around it, plenty of windows to shine daylight in, and a very positive feeling. I also picked out the instruments that I used because they seemed reminiscent of an cute, old toy or video game that I might play with at that house, one that would play joyful tunes with limited instruments every time that I turned it on.

Daily Bellringer

This is a short jingle that I made almost a year ago out of the happiness and joy in my heart. The melody was originally intended to be the theme song for a character that I had come up with, and I still associate the song with that character.

Things Are Working Out

I did another one of those exercises where I looked at an image and made a song based off of it. This time, I based it off of a video by YouTube user "chestertyler714" entitled "REAL DEMONS CAUGHT ON TAPE." I tried giving it an old-timey, spooky vibe to it, and I think I did a good job.

(Here's the extremely spooky video, if you all are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEVfREVGcaY)

Hands In The Ceiling

Yes, I have sympathy for others. That's why I compose music.
