Bulbasaur's Original Music: Little bit of everything!

[Bulbasaur]

Some of you may know that I have a lot of interest in writing music. If you don't, well, I have a lot of interest in writing music.

ANYWAYS. I thought it'd be nice to get feedback from you guys about my music. I've written stuff in a few different genres, but I mainly like to write rock and metal songs. You may notice inspiration from other bands in my songs, like Dream Theater.

Enough talking. Here's the link to the site containing my original songs: https://ericbranchek.bandcamp.com/

One more thing. I wasn't sure if this would be considered advertising and therefore rule breaking. I figured since people showcase their sprites, it'd be okay to showcase my music. I talked to a mod about it and they said it'd PROBABLY be okay. If it would be considered rule breaking, just tell me and you/I can delete this thread.

O:! I had no idea! So the latter half of this particular sentence was helpful.

xDDD

Anyway, no, it's absolutely fine to showcase your music. It's not advertising at all. x) Unless you meant ADVERTISING YOUR AWESOMENESS! You are guilty of that. I enjoy these songs. I don't personally listen to Dream Theater, but I have listened to a song or two of them and I did like them. It would be SO COOL if you could get these professionally played and recorded. c: You can tell that the instruments are computerised which takes away from the songs a little, but of course, it's not like you have direct access to a band. xD

I like The Night, especially the part when there's a guitar and then a different...sound. xD Wow I'm so musical. Anyway, I meant around 0:48. The piano introduction is also cool. I enjoy the slow pace of The Loss, too. The upbeat Good Times really fits the title, and I'm assuming that's why yo unnamed it so. I like the melody of this one. :D My favourite is definitely Dramatic Changes though. :3

What program do you use, by the way? Also, if you're into making music, you should check out other people here to who also make/write their own music. :D MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL ALL BE FRIIEEEEENDDS.

Anyway, great job. C: Awesome hobby to have, too. I would love to know how to make music digitally. xD

I actually do have access to a lot of musicians. I've tried to start a few bands, but they all didn't work. I've tried to record some of these songs with real instruments myself, but my main issue is that I'm not a good enough guitar player for these songs. XD

Anyways, thanks for giving me feedback! I use FL Studio to make these songs. When I finish a song, I make the guitar(s) sound better by using Guitar Rig 2 to add effects, since the original guitar sounds are meh.

Dramatic Changes is my favorite from that album, too! Good Times might be my next favorite. When I started making Good Times, I was actually thinking about scrapping it, because I didn't really like it. You can thank Dragon Master for persuading me to finish it. :P

The last thing I'm going to say is that I'm working on a new album. I have three songs finished already, and they all sound really good in my opinion.

Thanks for commenting, SF! :D

[Suicune's Fire]

Well that's good then! xD Yeah, forming a band is a big commitment. xD True. Sometimes I wish I could magically know how to do things well so I could do more. XD

No worries! :D Oh nice! I've heard that's a great program to use. I got it myself at one point but I had nooo idea how to use it and wasn't game enough to spend hours learning, but one day...ONE DAY!! xD Ahh okay. 8D That's pretty good. Do you download additional addons and such? (If they're even available for FL Studio? xD)

Hoorah! 8D It must be a super awesome track then! XD Ah yeah. :3 Lol, good one, DM. XD

Oh nice! O: That's awesome! Have you learned a lot from doing your first album?

No worries. :D I'm also gonna shamelessly advertise Teddiursa of the Sky's music on his thread Sundans, which is also in this section. I dunno if you've heard his stuff or not. x)

Woah! Where'd that come from? ;D

I am digging your tracks by the way. :D If you ever want to collaborate, I will be free in a few months to do so.

[Bulbasaur]

Sounds pretty cool. I've made a few synthy songs before, but I don't really listen to electronic music, so it kinda sounds like a rock/metal song with synths instead of guitars haha.

A collaboration would be awesome! I'd definitely be interested. What program do you use to make your songs?

[Dragon Master Mike]

Lol, good one, DM. XD


*DM Magically Appears*

lol.

*DM Magically Vanishes.



Seriously though, you already know what I think of your music, but i'm saying it here anyway: I really like it, and I think Good Times is the best one.

[Teddiursa of the Sky]

Haha, fair enough. I vary heavily in production styles though. Not all my music sounds like that (see my Sundans thread to hear more). XD

I use FL Studio. :)

I'll check the thread out. I did read through it, and saw you used a DSK sax plug-in (DSK Brass I'm assuming). So I can tell that it'll be different, haha.

Ah, that's perfect then! I guess PM me or something when you are able to start. :]

I do use a variety of VSTs, both freeware and purchased for numerous different sounds. From funky and jazzy to orchestral and aggressive.

Alright. Sounds like a plan! :D

[Bulbasaur]

Update. I'm getting together with a friend to record an EP! The material we are writing is going to be blues, so it's fairly different from this stuff. I'll be playing the drums, harmonica, and singing. He'll be playing the guitar and (most likely) singing. Not sure which one of us will cover the bass. But yeah. Thought you guys might be interested.

[Bulbasaur]

I really hate double posting, but this is worth it.

I have released my second album, Falling Through Darkness (http://ericbranchek.bandcamp.com/album/falling-through-darkness)! I also hate big fonts, but it's worth it.

With nine tracks that add to over an hour of music, I think this album shall keep you occupied for a while!

[Bulbasaur]

AHHH I REALLY REALLY HATE TRIPLE POSTING! But I have an update.

I've been working on a third album. However, I've been working on it differently than my other albums. For the other two, I'd started writing a song. If I liked it, I'd finish it and put it on the album. Then I repeated this process for the other songs.

This time, I'm just writing as many songs as possible. When I have 15-20 songs, I will select some of them to be on the album. This way, I will hopefully write my best album! Right now, I have 10 songs that are complete, plus one that I'm working on.

Anddddd one more thing. There's a chance I'll record the songs with real instruments. The main thing that is stopping me from doing that is the fact that I'm not the best guitar player. But I will see if I can make it happen!

Stay tuned!

[Bulbasaur]

I forgot to post this. A few months ago, my band released an EP! Four blues/rock songs, and you can listen to them here! (http://twoblue.bandcamp.com/releases) We have played out at an open mic and a bar, and have a few more shows scheduled. We've worked on recording songs for a full album here and there, but eventually we'll start serious work on that, and I'll let you guys know!

[Bulbasaur]

I never said that I released a new album. Well, I released a new album.

https://ericbranchek.bandcamp.com/album/erratic-brilliance

Hope you guys enjoy! It already got featured on a blog, which is amazing to me.

Sir, this is your thread, you can post as many times in a row as you feel is necessary. However, there is ALSO the edit button.

You actually remind me of myself when I was 16/17 and I decided to fuse Electronic with Metal/Rock. The difference is that you're musically inclined when I wasn't at that age. So your music has a much better flow to it, while my music just tended to be a bunch of random noise. That's why I called the album A Symphony of Idiots and the first track is called Car Crash Symphony. Because it's basically what you're listening to at any give stage. I like the direction your electronic stuff is headed in, keep that up. Maybe eventually you'll make me a few rap beats to lay down some lyrics on. =P

I just had to say that this made me laugh very hard.

The edit button is too mainstream It's in hopes people will see in the most recent post shown on the main page.

I'm glad you like it! I have written a lot of stuff recently that is very different from the stuff on that page (Bittersweet is one. In fact I didn't want to include it at first cause it was so different). And that stuff is much more electronic inspired. I've been getting into this guy that goes by the alias of Venetian Snares. He makes breakcore/glitch stuff, and the only reason I think he appeals to me is the fact that he samples some orchestral and jazz stuff at times. I've been trying out breakbeat stuff here and there. Maybe my next album will be a completely different direction. I don't know. :]

[Bulbasaur]

Here's a song that's quite different from my digitally made hard rock/metal music.

Another Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRDHYG3JD0I)

I played it on my bass and sung it. Please listen. Hope you enjoy!

I had a look through some of your albums! It's really impressive! Is there anything you can't do?!!!! :O

I liked Dark Colours, a lot of the songs sound like they'd be awesome video game music! :D

So is this all music you make on the computer? :O I clicked back through the thread and say you mentioned singing/playing instruments but I couldn't access the videos you linked haha. Either way, this is really cool. :) You're very talented!

Yeah, I made them digitally because 1. too lazy to record all the parts and 2. some of the parts are too hard for me to play. XD

When i start thinking you are a meme...you go and throw a curveball on ol EZ. Impressive stuff man.

[Bulbasaur]

Hey, I started a side project thing called "Number 17". I released a song that's available on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, and Spotify. If you could listen and tell your friends to do so, that'd be amazing.
