So What if this is about me?

Music

Okay, perhaps you didn't know this about me, but I really love music and have made it a hobby of mine to create it in my spare time.

I have made a few songs on the piano, but recently I've started to use Garageband to make music.

Garageband is a Mac only music editor that is very user-friendly but can be as complex as you wish it to be. It sorta looks like this:















I uploaded a few of my songs via betarecords.com and you can reach them at:

I'll briefly explain each one that you see there.

Funk: My dad plays the bass guitar and he has sorta brainwashed me in acknowledging them equally as the other band players. He's also very enthralled by a good horn section. Thus, this song's for him. This song, although simple-sounding, was actually fairly hard to create for me. Apple didn't have any "funk" horns, and most of the concluding section I made from scratch.

Cool: I really can only think of naming this song "cool" since it is just that, it's cool. I really like all these loops (most aren't custom made) and together it makes a cool feeling and sound.

Haunting Bass: Well.... that's my best name. One of my newest songs, it features a bass melody that gives at least me some shivers. Sorta a classic rock setup with several guitars and a classic rock beat. Still a work in progress, I think the end could be redone to be better.

Messaround: One of my favorites, I made messaround a few days after getting about 2 thousand more loops for free from Apple and was just messin' around with all those new loops to create this song. Really a fun song. Oh by the way, my cousin uses this song in a reality TV show found at www.thetalentvault.com I believe it's in the background of the 2nd episode.

Qwerty: Again a fairly uncreative name, but the song in it of itself speaks for it. Another fairly new song, Qwerty features a techno deep melody. I also found a new sound with this song called atmospheres, the moving sounds that encompass the main part in the beginning and the end.

Cutesy: I made this song for a show at school, supposed to be a happy-upbeat song. I really got carried away and made this a very fun song that deserves more than just being in a show for 15 seconds. My brother thinks of Ben Folds when he hears this :D.

Battle of the Unknown: One of my newest songs, this is sorta a trance song based off those awesome songs that my friend Kyle plays for me when I'm at his house. A little repititous to follow the similar style of those songs. Anyway it's a fun song to dance to. By the way that is my voice :D

Spring: At last, my newest one. Mom helped me think this one out, and name it. She called it spring since it sounds a little like an April shower with the rain hitting the roof. Anyway, combined together, it is a very relaxing, happy, creepy, song.

Mysteriousity: A new song recently added to betarecords.com, Mysteriousity is a song very similar style to a part of a song I really like, Evanescence's Eternal, where there's a background environmental sound while a haunting piano/synth combination. It's becoming of my favorites.


well anyway, download, make cd's, spread the name of my songs, and think of some good names for them, since as you can see most of mine are crappy :).
