Hello there NG,and also,hello to you,who is reading this post now.
If you are reading this post,and you managed to find me in such a place as this,then congratulations,you just found the most random guy on the whole internet. But that does not mean that you should leave.
Yeah,ok cool...But who are you then?
My name is Jacob Banks, aka BBank. I love music,(as all humans do of course) but i really love music so much that i decided to make it. Mainly on Newgrounds.
Ok, i see now... When did you join NG then?
Pretty recenty actually. The funny thing about this is that the first time i discovered NG was when i was like 6 years old.
My early days of gaming,movies and music was all on this page,side by side. I didnt even realize that NG was my long lost days of childhood up until now.
When i was growing up,i forgot about NG completly,since i didnt even realized that the contents i watched,played,or listened to was made on this site. And one day i decided to visit NG just by sheer curiousity.
And bam. All the memories just flashed by and it felt like i was 6 year old once again. I cryed. A lot.
After this,i immedietly created an account, and as i was growing my hobby as a musician,i decided that i will post my work here. Exclusivly on NG,for now.
Hmm...Okay cool,but what kind of music should i expect from you?
First of all,if you are expecting electronic,funky,dubstep tunes,then i will have to turn you down, cause my style of making music is not electronic based (though i still like electronic tunes).
But if you are a fan of more hardcore, but still melodic,soft and dynamic music,you came to the right place.
If i would need to describe my style of music,i would say that this:
Take 2 kilogramms of Hard Rock/Metal,cover it in 1 kg of symphonic cream,and add just a little spice of electronica.
Cook it in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes,and bam,you got yourself a dish called Melancholy Hill.
Melancholy Hill? What the hell is that?
Its the name of my one man band. Yep,you heard it right. One man band. I will not use any backing track on my music,i will play/program and record every single instrument.
Cool! Are you working on something,do you got any plans on releasing something?
Im currently in the process of making 3-4 song album called Broken Sword. Its gonna be my first ever public collection of my work that i released in the internet.
Please keep in mind that i am not a professional. I have only about one and a half years of experience of guitar playing,i have some experience with writing songs,but i have absulotly zero experience recording it.
I know that i have a long way ahead,and my work may not be the best you ever seen,but if you can,please review my work,give honest feedbacks,so i can improve my quality.
Im really motivated with sharing the music i wrote down, and i decided that the deadline of releasing Broken Sword will be May 24. (whics is fun fact,is my birthday).
I am really looking forward to taking part of the commuinty, and i dont care if NG is not considered mainstream.
I will never leave this community.
Thats it folks,stay alert, im currently working now,the album could come anytime beforeMay 24.!
Thank you for taking your time to read this incrediably long post,and ill hope i see you in the future.
Watch out NG,here comes BBank!
