New Sing Song! – do you wanna?

Hello there you browsers of the internet! I have recently released new music, but unlike the last few times, this one has vocals in it. I would appreciate it if anyone could give a listen and provide some feedback 😀

New EP – Oak Ridge

Hello there you all! Today I am here to share some new music I’ve made, which is a continuation of the track I posted about a year ago “Rubber Trees”. This album is entirely electronic and has some strong Minecraft and Blade Runner influences. This EP has 5 songs but is only 10 minutes long, so I’d appreciate it a lot if you all could give it a listen and provide some feedback or criticism!

Thank you everybody!

Rubber Trees

Hello there you sad socks. As promised, I have a song for you today! I greatly appreciate any feedback whatsoever!

Heartstrings (mr. bubbles remix)

Hello there you springy springs. I don’t have a real post for today, so I thought I’d let you know that mr. bubbles made a remix of my song Heartstrings, and you should listen to it and give feedback!

Thanks for listening 😀

Free Lunch #51

Hello there you frunches. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for another Free Lunch. If you don’t know what that means, I just get on either my laptop or phone (today it’s laptop because my phone bill isn’t paid) and type for 5 minutes without stopping about my life and stuff.

Starting at 5:48.

I got to do something really cool this weekend! I wanted to tell you in a sidenote on the book review this Saturday, but I decided to save it for the Free Lunch because I probably won’t have anything to talk about now except that and a few other things.

The thing I got to do that was really cool was play a Steinway piano! My library has a Steinway that’s just sitting there on the second floor, but it always has a bar locking it from being played while the keys cover is down. But on Saturday, the piano was open for two performers. There was an event going on in the library that day, and so they opened the piano so that some people could play it while the event was happening. The first woman came and played some classical music, which was pretty cool, and after she left, I played around with the piano a bit with my brother, because neither of us had played one before. A little bit after that, two guys came and played jazz with the piano and a saxophone that one brought. They played some really cool tunes and I recorded some on my phone, which I might put up later.

I also released a piano song on Sunday that you should listen to! Thanks in advance!

This Free Lunch was kinda short for one on the laptop, sorry.

Thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom of this post 😀

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

8532 Piano Song

Thanks for reading and listening in advance!

Heartstrings – Soundcloud

Hello there you billion brilliant stars. Today I have something very exciting for you all! It’s my first song on the internet with singing (if you don’t count the Minecraft Parody covers from 5 years ago). I would greatly appreciate any positive words at all because i’m not so sure I should even try singing.

Lyrics:

You remind me of the rainy days

Staying inside gazing out my window
It’s you that I am trying to chase
But so far it’s only caused me more woe

I’m really sorry honey
But my heartstrings only know the same sad chords
You’re looking at me sideways
But all that I can see is more closed doors

Heartstrings
Are the most useful instrument
Inspiration rings
Through my heartstring’s torment

Heartstrings
Are the most useful instrument
All my writing
Come from my heartstring’s lament

I’m really sorry honey
But my heartstrings only know the same sad chords
You’re looking at me sideways
But all that I can see is more closed doors

Love is just like other things
That’s the only metaphor I need
Doves can’t fly without their wings
So take my warning and heed

I’m really sorry honey
But my heartstrings only know the same sad chords
You’re looking at me sideways
But all that I can see is more closed doors

I love you
But you don’t love me the way I do to you
But I can blame it on getting no sleep
See the last track, sit and weep

I’m really sorry honey
But my heartstrings only know the same sad chords
You’re looking at me sideways
But all that I can see is more closed doors

note: I am overtagging this post just so that my music gets noticed 🙂

And They Lived Happily Ever After – Soundcloud

Hello there you free listeners. Tonight I am here to present to you a song I made on Guitar called ‘And They Lived Happily Ever After’. Due to the song being super short, my mom is going to be using it as the theme song (I think) on her podcast when it comes out sometime in the next few months. But you can listen to this song all on it’s own on Soundcloud! Here it is:

If you liked the song, maybe you would want to listen to some of my other songs?

Thanks for listening to my song and reading this post, I really appreciate it.

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

For All Musicians on WordPress

Hello there you ridiculously expensive guitar amps. Tonight I will be revisiting an idea that was brought up a while ago while I was talking to sfcamster. The idea in question was us thinking that we could possibly get a collaboration going between all the bloggers on WordPress who are also musicians to create an album between us all. Everyone who writes on Rileys Backpack is musical in one way or another, and while I can’t guarantee the participation of other peeps here, I can say that I would like to do this.

There’s also the problem of how we would go about publishing it, if it ever gets to a publishing stage. Would someone create a Soundcloud for the WordPress musicians? Would we all be part of one big band? The other possibility is we just take a name and have a group of revolving people, so that we could pass on the mantle one day if we didn’t want to do it anymore. If you have any idea on a way to make all these things come together for a good release, comment your thoughts below.

Just to gauge the number of people who would be interested in participating, leave a comment if you want this idea to come to reality and to be a part of it!

With a good number of volunteers, we can set up maybe another website for this or something? I don’t know..

If enough people comment saying they want to take part, I’ll write a follow up post with a little more details based on what was discussed in these comments, and we could take a more solid step towards making this real.

That’s the post for today, sorry if you are a blogger, but not a musician and this is just annoying for you

But thanks for reading all the way down to the bottom!

Baiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Free Lunch #32

Hello there you online mp3 files. It’s Friday so that means it’s time for another edition of Free Lunch! If you don’t know what that means, luckily for you, you have me to explain it to you. It’s actually pretty boring. I just get on my phone or laptop (laptop today) and try to write for 5 minutes without stopping.

Starting at 5:35.

I have been working a lot on music the last few days (which you can listen to here 😀 😀 😀 pls), and I’ve realized that I have almost everything I need to record anything. Jamie has a microphone that I would hope that he’d let the band use for recording the album, we both have acoustic Guitars, even if mine sucks. We both have keyboards —

*got a phone call and had to talk so i’m restarting at 5:40*

Before I was interrupted, I was talking about how despite my own belief, we actually have almost everything we need to record the album. The only thing I can think of is an Electric Guitar, which would be awesome, but isn’t a necessity. So the album should still be out later this Winter.

In other musical news, (sorry non-musical people, you’ll just have to wait) we’re putting out another short collection of songs on the old account, which is now named “Team RSB” on Soundcloud. It’s mostly just weird experimental made by me mixed in with nice 8 bit music made on iDARB by Brendan and Saoirse. It’s okay, and it should be out tomorrow or the next day, so i’ll leave a link in whichever day’s corresponding post.

Aside from that, I can’t decide which game to play next. I finished To The Moon and it was pretty amazing. Definitely makes one of my top 5 games i’ve ever played. So help me pick a game to play now! Here’s a nice poll to choose the next game I play!

In my life, not much is happening, aside from the paid audio editing work i’m going to be doing for my mom’s project with the city. I may be going to Oak Ridge soon again, so i’ll be able to make another Undertale No Food.  I also recently got into Big Bang Theory and it’s pretty funny.

My time is up, it’s 5:45.

Thanks for reading this post that should be slightly longer than the usual Free Lunch :3
