Hallucination

Let me break down my latest song for you all. "Hallucination" is the latest song I worked on and released to Soundcloud and Bandcamp. It is a hip-hop style song I first worked on in 2016 through Linux Multimedia Studio (LMMS). I made a much better version in FL Studio. The song is very simple. I used only seven tracks in its creation. A big part of its creation is how I dedicated one entire track to the beats. I learned I could put together all of one element of a song into its own track. That is what I did with the main beats in "Hallucination." The other six tracks all involve the individual elements of the song.

In its infant stages, "Hallucination" was created as practice for using a triple oscillator called 3x Osc. I was not really happy with the sound when I tried to re-create in FL Studio, so what I did was replace it with an organ sound. I felt using an organ sound worked a good bit better with the song. The FL Studio re-creation also got me to be more creative with the beats. To that end, I tried to come up with a good kick, hat, and snare. The middle of the song has the only real variation in the beat style.

Though "Hallucination" is my latest song, I put it among a new album on Bandcamp. I am releasing some of my songs as part of suites. These suites contain simple songs created by me for you to enjoy and maybe use in media projects if inclined. "Hallucination" is part of my Hip-Hop Suite on Bandcamp. More basic songs in this category will be made available. If you're a paying visitor to my Bandcamp, enjoy the prices for my work before I bump things up for anyone who wants the full package of my songs.

Feel Good!

John B. Marine | 6:22 PM | Be the first to comment!
"Feel Good!" is a song I worked on privately since about 2016. Like the "Urban Dream" song I mentioned in my previous post, I constantly developed "Feel Good!" to something I felt would be enough to share with the world. This is a song that has a light dance feel. It is melodic while also being peppy and upbeat. It also sounds a bit mellow, but not too much to dilute a lot of the vibes this song generates. The one thing I struggled most with is trying to get many of the instruments to respectable volume levels in FL Studio. I also thought about ways to spice up the song. I am still fairly amateur with FL Studio, but I am evolving and learning. This song was created almost entirely with stock FL Studio instruments and samples as part of the Production Edition. Most of the instruments were in using the Sytrus generator.

The mood I was going for was a sunny Monday. Not many people like Mondays, but I often embrace Mondays as the start to hopefully make the upcoming week great. Musically-inclined me often thinks of Monday songs to be in C Major. I had this song originally to be part of a special suite of original songs as a Monday soundtrack. "Feel Good!", however, may be part of its own suite of songs as I have a few different versions of it in mind.

I also had a vision of stories I could tell with this song. I had the vision of a family enjoying a sunny day having fun. Think of it a bit like being able to enjoy a beautiful day by having fun and not letting the world's problems get in the way. You are free and at your happiest. Let's say you are enjoying a city park, a theme park, a festive carnival, some celebration, or simply feeling happy doing some normal stuff. You could also think of this as a song where young folks are simply dancing the day away to a fun tune. Have friends and/or family to enhance the experience? Even better! In the outro of the song, the day was an amazing one, and it's time to head to bed, but not without having an enjoyable time. Those are the vibes behind "Feel Good!".

I sort of hope you find some enjoyment in this "Feel Good!" song I've worked on. I invite you to have a listen if interested. Here is how:
