Fist off, I made a lil thing just to kinda celebrate graduating high school and the feelings I have for that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMXImk0t9Oo

Second off, I'm back!

Sorry for that long silence, the long and the short of it is that I've been finishing high school. But now that that is out of the way, I am excited to have some time in between my jobs to work on music and start making things again! I have been writing down loads of ideas with the little time I had in school that I want to try out here soon. Basically using the music that I have been making, to world build and practice editing in combination to find something that feels right. I thought I would share the entirety of my idea right here for anyone curious:

I will be making another album, but that will probably be finished far far far from now, like eta probably half a year or longer, BUT, (and this is a big but) I will be releasing and finishing what I think some of the best songs from the album are first ahead of time and making videos to fit the feel of each one on my YouTube channel! I have one of those songs on-route to be released in a few weeks here so look out for that, and the rest of them will be quite consistent afterward (hopefully).

Now for the idea for this album: Basically, the music that I have been making is mainly electronic, and is also all over the place in terms of mood and feel, so I will be releasing these songs in three segments, or three vibes/feels that will fit in the same world that the music will be in (it will make more sense when I release all the songs. Each world has its own style of music, and each world has its own visual vibe as well. I will be releasing some songs from the first world first, then the second world, and finishing with the third world.

Here are the names and descriptions for each world in the album coming:

World 1: The Meadow

Description: A carefree, happy, nostalgic, colorful world, this world has lots of beautiful chords and triumphant harmonies with some really cool and vast atmospheric sounds. I will be releasing songs from this world first.

World 2: The Dark Woods

Description: This world has inherently evil and epic sounds ranging from midtempo bass sounds, to medieval half-step melody's and large epic harmonies, this world is meant to fuel adrenaline as well as building something dark, sinister, and epic. I am extremely excited to share this world after The Meadow, as I have vastly improved when it comes to making this type of music.

World 3: The Dust Desert

Description: This world is by nature an aftermath, musically it is quite beautiful, It blends scales and harmonies together while also sounding broken at times. Utilizing both major and minor tones and chords, it key changes often but finds connections between areas of scales and unknown bridges to travel between music. It also sounds fairly dusty, and elegant, imagine a wisp alone in a vast desert and you would get this sound to accompany it. I am super proud of the music in this world and am excited to share it after I have shared some songs from The Dark Woods.

All this will make more sense once the entire album is out. I also want to reiterate that I will probably be showing the best songs from each of these worlds first, and then when I do that, I will release the entire album. If you made it here I really appreciate it and am happy you find my world building interesting! The music will be trickling out here these next few months, I will keep writing these news things every so often to keep people posted on where we are in the journey.

See you soon!

Hello peps!

Ok so a few things:

1: I made a remix! This has been a very debatable decision for me because I never really planned on creating another remix based on a few future plans (which I will get to). Although this particular remix kinda came out a lot better than I thought it would, so I decided to share it!

Although there is a problem for sharing the remix on Newgrounds, I read this in a post for terms of services:

"You aren't allowed to have ANY copyrighted samples in your song. Not even a millisecond, so don't even think about uploading that Soulja Boy remix. Movie quotes, game sound effects, acapellas of popular singers, etc... have a VERY good chance of being copyrighted, for example. "Fair use" does NOT apply on Newgrounds, as flash authors might want to use your song in a sponsored game or movie."

Since I did use the acapella from the song for the purpose of the remix, I am not sure that I can share it here. If anyone here can either verify this, or (best case scenario) prove me wrong because I would love to post the remix here, but until then, just to be safe, I will keep it on:

2: Although the top one may be a bit of bad news, I have some good news as well: I am in the middle of constructing another album at the moment, and will be sharing the best songs bit by bit before the full release soon hopefully! I will share more information on what the new feel of the album will be, the name, genre, etc when I make the trailer for it, but stay tuned! I have new music coming so don't worry.

That's about it for the time being, thank you for your time.

-Ben

Edit: Ok, so I just found a couple remix's on the sight of pretty popular artists that are actually more sample heavy that what I have made... so I guess I can share it here!

Hello!

I wanted to give Portal (an album I made) a final send-off for awhile now, I did not know how. After some time I decided to create a little video where I cover meanings, music theory (kinda) for each song in the album, and just talk about how/where and mostly why this album was made. (Brace yourself though, its a deep dive of info kinda spastically thrown about)

If you enjoyed the album, or even a few songs on it and are curious, I highly recommend you check out the video I made (although it is pretty long lol)! I also made some custom audio for this specific video! The little lofi beat thing you will be hearing is made by me, and the final variation at the end of the "Portal Tailor Track" is made by me.

This will probably be the last folks will see from anything related to Portal, I am moving on to make more things now and already have some ideas and creations in the making! Portal is, so far, the best thing I have made and I am happy it reached some folks.

Alright, that's about it, thanks for reading!

-Ben

Here is the video for those who want to see:

I am kinda baffled at the moment but also extremely thankful for my first ever frontpage! I cannot believe that "Spacing Out" caught the attention of Tom or Wade and meandered its way right smack dab in the middle of the audio features. Lots of Love to those who have listened and I hope the audio will be useful to anyone whether its creating videogames or just listening for fun. I don't really have much else to say really, I am just super grateful that a track I made has reached a mass of people. Thank you so much! I hope peps have an awesome next few days

-H

At 6:30 (EDT) today (October 11th), 12 different tracks will be released on Newgrounds by me! I have decided to give my album "Portal" over to this sight because I feel that it is unfair of me to not give it over to other creators. Because if I wear in your shoes, I would want to use these tracks to create.

Had to check when my last post was on here via news wise, and wow, been awhile.

Ok here's a quick bulleted list of what's going on:

1: yep I'm not dead :D

2: I've been working on multiple songs atm that will be assorted into my own album! Idk when that will be out but I've got 3 songs completely finished and am working on about like 6-7 more! This is the first body of work that I think I can really be myself and show what 'my sound' really is.

3: I started a little let's play channel as a joke at first but it has really started to become a large part of my hobbies. I realized that I love to make vids on games and random comedy sketchs! Check is out on youtube! Here's the link - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRxJxxkD72fqxTuhsZVwbQ I've got stuff on games like " The Medium" "Omori" and "Little Nightmares 2". It's a place where I just get to show my love for videogames and horror and comedy.

3: One of the reasons I've been gone for awhile, and I'm not that good at expressing myself online is because I'm super shy, and a titch awkward as well. So I find myself hesitant to just constantly bombard peps with stuff about me. But I'm gonna step out of my comfort zone for the sake of a dream that I have, and for the people who are still here.

And finally 4: I've been pretty active on Instagram as well, although I have to say I love the new grounds community and it's was of bringing small creators into the light, I've found lots of my idols on this sight!

To rap this bad boi up I wanted to say thank you for reading, and this wait WILL be worth your while.

Lots of Love

-Ben (that's my real name, ho boy)

Don't think I ever mentioned this, but I would be so ok with any of my tracks to be used on #geomety dash, that would be awesome! :)

Its been some times, but I am happy to be back and will continue to be releasing music on a generally regular basis. I have some more awesome stuff on the way, so thank you for sticking around for that :). Also, NEW RELEASE, Neworld, check it out :D

#Yyyyellow......... is a color

Ok, first off I just want all peps to listen to THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfht3CBTpNA

I'm gonna be doing a remix of it because 1: its sounds Awesome and badass and all of the above (U get it its fucking amazing) and 2: I have a really good idea of how I am going to remix this track (Also bonus reason its part of a remix competition).

So that's a thing I will be doing and hopefully releasing soon.... like in 7ish days or so.

ALSO, what did people think of the video thing I made? Good? bad? I may make more videos challenging myself to try new things in the music production world and have fun editing them as well.

Alright to rap this up, I hope people are doing great and I hope YOU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3m9b8niNJg) have an amazing day.

-H

Its been some time, but I am happy to say that I have some new stuff ready, and am really happy to release it soon! Going to revisit the dark Trap vibe with this next release. Anyway, thanks for waiting, it will be out soon!
