Greetings!

I PASSED 200 FOLLOWERS!!!! Thank you everyone so much for the support, may the spirit bless all of you. Im really grateful.

But, now with that out the way, lets move on to some of the more serious stuff.

First of all, ive been features on a podcast hosted by @Aalasteir , called A100! If you are curoius, check it out, i had a ton of fun talking to him about my passion for music, along with a bunch of other stuff.

Second of all, since i am currently a senior in high school, my online activity is going to flatline again.

These times are going to be really tough on me, however, i am planning to participate again in the 2024 Sketch Collab with another collab between @Troisnyx and a bunch of guys! Stay tuned.

In November, i will likely return to the NG Boss Showdown Competition hosted by @JinZ as a judge.

Im also planning to continue Melancholy Hill, however, that might take a while, either way, we will see.

Thats all for now. Thank you guys so much for the support that you've given me over the years, i really appreciate it.

Keep climbing.

I am back. Dont need to say anything more.

Keep climbing.

Greetings!

I know im a bit late with this recap (since the year is fully over now), and that its been a long time writing about myself, but here i am. Another year to look back to- and boy, it was definitly a hell of a year.

2023 for me was a very big step forward in terms of self-improvement. 2022 was a year full of surprises, good and bad ones, but the latter was something that really tore me down to my core. So much so, that i had to question the reason and motives behind my climb. And so, i started going out of my comfort zone more than ever, fighting to reach peeks i have never seen before.

That also applies to my music! Take a look at my catalogue for 2023 and youll see that I made and participated in a record number of music projects: just shy of ten. Still not that much, but its honest work, and ill definitly make sure to push that number higher in this year.

There were a number of highlights for me this year! Im going to go over in a list of them in no particular order:

• meeting my friend @Troisnyx IRL in London
• releasing my second EP Facility 9107 in July
• handful of collabs i did on NG, including NGAP20
• participating in both AIM, NGADM and NGUAC at the same time, with decent results
• FINALLY managed to get a license
• turned 18 years old
• started working out again more seriously
• started to take studying more seriously, especially math
• made some new friends
• made some plans regarding my music, and the direction of my journey

There are very ambitious plans that i look forward to making come true in this year, and ill give it my all in order to make them mine.

I sincerely hope 2024 will be the year of revolution for all of us. I want to thank my friends, family, and everyone who is on the climb with me still. Lets make this year count! May the Spirit bless you all.

Keep climbing.

Greetings, folks! BBank here, along with a very new announcement.

Facility 9107, my second EP is out NOW!

This EP is a collection of songs that were outside my normal progressive rock works (like The Climb EP), and filled with songs from all types of music genres. From tech house, through synthwave to industrial metal, the spectrum is nearly full.

The songs are avalible on Soundcloud, Youtube (along with visualizers), and here, on NG. I hope you will like them, just as i do.

Now with that out the way, i want to talk about something else.

my state, and progress

2022 for me was a really harsh year for me in nearly every possible way (as for why, i have a post about it here. ),but during that time, i learned a lot, and it filled me with a drive, and intention to invest in myself, and get better. I felt that I was indeed getting physically, mentally, and spiritually stronger, through the hills i climbed, and the obstacles i conquered. It feels really good to be "back in the saddle" again, this time, as i call it, BBank 2.0.

This year was also the first one that i entered AIM, NGUAC, and NGADM all in once. Im really looking forward to give myself a push, and im really curious of how well i can do. We will see.

Im also trying to focus on my mental, and physical wellbeing, i work out, meditate sometimes, and preparing for the next year of high school, which is going to be very tough. Im ready to fight, to burn, and to shine, no matter the costs.

My great friend, and professional meeper @Troisnyx met up in London last month! It was honestly one of the best feeling i had the pleasure of having after a while, and i want to thank her of being there with me, and just the general kinship, (or should i say, meepship) she has provided for me. I love ya Annette <3

We are probably going to team up again, and make a collab for this years Sketch Collab this August! Look out for that.

I want to thank my family, my friends, online and offline, and everyone that climbs this mountain with me. You are all amazing, never forget that.

This was BBaNK, signing off.

Keep climbing.

Hello everyone.

Monthly update incoming. Ive been studying a lot, training a lot, reading a lot, and also decided to take part in this years NGAIM. Also, there are several projects that i have on the pipeline now.

This is the beginning of something very, very big.

Let this be the news for now. Keep climbing.

Greetings, fellow travellers.

Wow, so many stuff happening all at once! NG Audio Portal collab, self improvement, and of course, music.

Ive been thinking about my future in these last couple of months. Ive decided to pursue my passion as a sound engineer, to help creative souls express themselves and make their inspiration come into matter, by the Spirit, for the Spirit.

As you might have noticed, Ive gone a little bit experimental regarding my musical journey lately. I made a bunch of EDM and stuff like tahat (even a Rammstein influenced industrial tack also), so... yeah. Cool stuff. I might release these songs under an EP. We will see.

Melancholy Hill will be back, I PROMISE, Parts Of Me is on its way, and doing well. Cannot say anything more though, as that would ruin the element of surprise of all the things that i am planning.

Thats it for now, i love you all. Keep climbing!

Wow. Already 2023, its like time is speeding as we speak... but that is allright.

This year has been very dynamic for me, as i experienced the feeling of being on the top, as well as experiencing the ultimate downfall of perhaps my entire life. I really never knew what true pain felt like... until I lost my love, and soulmate, mentally scarring her for a life. The pain is still with me as well as with her, and Hanka, if you read this... im terribly sorry still for everything. You deserve so much better than me.

But as we are marching towards the mountains, people get injured along the way. Sometimes, its inevitable. Hazards always come and go, and because of this, there will be people who we need to leave behind, for our own sake, no matter what connection we share, or the bond that held us together.

As im writing this, i am mostly revitalized, and in the process of making a new EDM track. Might also make an experimental EP out of these as well, we will see.

The question still remains about when will i finish "Parts Of Me", which I originally announced last year, but progress didnt really catch up. I swear, i will try my hardest to finish it this year, because the last one wasnt the easiest... but again, we will see.

There were a handful of cool moments though from those 365 days for the record! One of the main highlights was the 15th Anniversary Sketch Collab, which i took part in with the music for it, which was again a collab with @Troisnyx , and the rest of the guys. (shoutout to them, amazing people, wonderful friends.)

This year was also my first entry at NGUAC. Didnt really make the cut, (and i mean i didnt even qualify ffs), but as a first attempt, it was pretty decent. Will probably enter again this year.

I would like to thank my family, my friends, both online and offline, and every people on the mountain of life for their faith in me. May the Spirit be with you all throughout this year as well.

Keep climbing.

May you feel the warmth and comfort of the Spirit, your family, your friends, and everyone around you.

Lets take this time to relax, and celebrate. Ill be back. I promise.

(also, if you are looking for any tips how to decorate the tree, this is how i would do it)

I love you all. Keep climbing.
