A collaborative EP between myself and Qteku (https://soundcloud.com/qteku), following the vibe of racing game music.

Qteku & vert-⬡ - Speed It Up

I'm a journeyman artist that likes to make primarily VGM-like Jungle and Hip Hop tracks as a hobby (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've definitely never studied sound theory or anything, but I feel like I'm starting to get decent at playing things by ear, lol.

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 tracks I heard as a kid back in the late 90s/early 2000s and games that I played during that time. Soichi Terada (the composer of the music for the Ape Escape series) had a huge influence on me.

Secondary influences have to definitely be Rukunetsu, Marcell2aG (Negrosaki) (been a fan of both since 2009!), Amprsand (been a fan since 2010!) and NomedBeats (been a fan since 2014!).

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 play it for a couple of hours on the weekends (I mostly just pretend to be a roomba and survey people, lol). I'm always on Blue when I'm on, so don't be a stranger!

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!

Cyber music with a love for all things synthesized!
