EVERYONE GET HYPED

INEVITABLE, INESCAPABLE ALBUM IS NOT FAR OFF...

2024 is OVER!

Well, it’s the end of another crazy year! This year, like all of them, has seen some ups and downs. In my music, a lot of high moments! In my personal life, I had my fair share of lows. However— every moment, independent of circumstance, is a gift, and a moment to be remembered, pondered, and celebrated. So, let’s get on with it!

The first half of this year was characterized, in all aspects, by a lack of motivation. And the back 9, a newfound inspiration and passion for music.

Beginning of 2024

I really stagnated, in every part of my life, during most of the winter. Not a single track was created until MARCH! And even that track was not all it could’ve been, if we’re being honest. The most important thing that happened that whole time was @Tydaze gifting me supporter status, allowing me to change my username. Thank you so much!

Spring, I hesitantly started creating music again. Nothing truly frontpage-worthy, and nothing I’m all that proud of.

Summer was my most demotivated season. I couldn’t tell you one thing I did the whole time. Not proud of the first few months of 2024, and I apologize to all of you for not giving you much content, in quantity or quality!

However, as the school year began, I decided to turn the year around.

End of 2024

I’d say the catalyst of my upward trend this year was the making of my song, when i dont have the words. Like it says in the description, I enjoyed creating this track SO MUCH, and knew the whole time it was my best work. I put every second of free time into that project and I loved it. That experience inspired me to pour myself ever more into the pursuit of music. That fall, I signed with the label Breakstation to release an album, out of mind.

Winter is where things really started to pick up. I settled into a friend group who appreciates music as much as I do, starting singing at the piano, found an entirely new music taste that has inspired me and captivated me, began writing an album from scratch, even started learning guitar!

Overall, these last few months have been truly wonderful, and brought about an amount of love and passion for music that I don’t think I’ve ever felt before.

Shoutouts

Of course, I definitely wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am now without the constant support and feedback of you guys here on NewGrounds! This community keeps me going, and there are a few people within it that I want to specifically mention. A special thanks to:

@Aalasteir, for having me on that amazing interview. You’re doing a service for all of NG.

@BuryBoyGD, for all the kind words on my music, and being a great friend in general

@CreeperForce24, for good advice and honest reviews. Congrats on 500 fans!

@datboi7os, for thoughtful reviews and showing me what true atmosphere looks like, you’re a master!

@Dynamic0, for the endless amount of positivity you share with me.

@G2961, for so many uplifting reviews, and inspiring me with the insane amount of quality songs you release each WEEK

@Solacitude, for the invaluable wisdom you’ve shared with me on playing the piano. You’re an amazing composer and musician, and one that I look up to.

@SpeedoRH, for being with me from the beginning and carefully advising me every step of the way. There’s no way I could have improved this fast without your guidance.

@vekoN, for your friendship and for showing me that it IS possible to make bangers on SunVox

Without you guys, none of this would have been possible. Thanks for being so good to me this year.

Goals for 2025

I wouldn’t say I have any concrete plans for 2025, but I have some big goals. Firstly, the release of inevitable, inescapable. Guys, this album is REALLY coming together. I’d say I’ve finally settled on a style that I really like. I am working on this project almost constantly! I’m not sure when it will be ready, but I’m hoping to release it in March. It’s an emotional one, that’s for sure.

I also aim to have a music setup, complete with a PC, FL Studio, MIDI controller keyboard, and a mic, sometime this year. It’ll be probably $2500+, so I’m working hard for it. Once I’ve got it, I’ll be practicing indietronica production, the genre of my dreams.

But I’ll still be creating music as OVERSCORE, but I’ll devote most of my time to that. I hope to take my music production to the next level with that, but I’ll need years of experience with it first.

Final Words for 2024

While this year didn’t start off the best, I am proud of the way I’m ending it. I know I haven’t posted any audio in a long time, but that’s not because I haven’t made anything— I’m working harder than I ever have before! You’ll understand soon.

Let’s make next year my best year yet!

COMING SOON…

I just finished an interview with the amazing Aalasteir, in which I share a lot about my motivations, interests, and lifestyle. If you’re curious about me, go read this interview!

OVERSCORE

new track out! ive worked hours at a time to make this one as emotional as possible… im so proud of how it turned out

enjoy my latest atmospheric drum n bass track, everyone

A few updates for anyone following my account!

1. I plan to put out a few playlists just showing everyone the kind of music I like to listen to, I’ve already finished one (Darker Flavors) and plan to create a breakcore one soon, bc it’s a lot of fun. You guys can go check it out if you want, lemme know what you think!
2. I actually remembered my song Forgotten (irony) and decided to replace its file, and it sounds a lot better now! Before the update, there were a lot of random high-pitched clicks, and the quality was just very bad. I also redid the fade-out, and I’m very happy with the result.
3. I have started working on a few other projects! One is a collab hosted by @LakieGD in which everyone is recreating songs from the mobile game Smash Hit! It’s been a really fun project so far that has tested my sound design skills and ear for melodies. I also designed a really nice snare during the process that has inspired me to make another dance-type track, and I even have another breakcore in the works!
4. I went through a bunch of tracks I deemed worthy and wrote the Geometry Dash ID in the description for convenience. And I’m already seeing the fruits of that, as Resolve was used in a front-page featured level called Future Tense (ID: 97875166)! This is super exciting, and hopefully just a small glimpse of what’s to come.
5. With school starting, I don’t know how my music production will be affected… I might not find the time to, and end up making less. I might feel the urge to spend more of my free time making music, and make more. So far, it seems to be the second one, and I hope that continues.
6. Thanking every single one of you for your support on the last news post, it feels so good to know that I have such a solid group of friends on this website who support me even on my worst days. I hope to stick with you guys and return the favor!

Thanks for the support and listening to my tracks. Have a great day!

This has been a crappy last 3 days…

A while back, I submitted tracks for the NGADM and NGUAC, and before that, the AIM contest. The scores for all three of those came back at the same time and turns out I wasn’t anywhere close to making it into the first two, and I got an even worse placement than last year in AIM (although there were about 40 more people).

That has just left me feeling extremely discouraged… I’ve put so much time and effort into improving my craft, basically my whole life. Music is pretty much my “thing,” and has been for a long time. It has such an impact on my life and has always been my biggest interest. And yet I am STILL not good at making it.

No, I’m not going to quit.

But I need to take a short break. I put a lot of my self-worth on these tracks, and this really is a blow. I need some time.

🎉🎉 200 FANS 🎉🎉
