Thanks so much! Might actually bump those vocals up and push an update, yes, I'm doing that this time haha

[Friends Are Benefits]

A year and a half later, it's time to present:

Friends Are Benefits

They don't call it "falling" in love for nothing...
"Friends Are Benefits" is the story of a discovery, Relationships are important, but in the end your friends will always love you and be there for you.

Meticulously pieced together in the most coherent way,  yet short enough to be listened to at once; per request and advice.

I'm beggin you guys, please check this out, I've gone all in on this one. Physical/signed copies available soon.

Reviews/Impressions are VITAL and are the reason I keep this up.

...and please, enjoy.

Cheers to you, Peter. It's a great track that many fans would have sold their soul to collaborate on. Best of luck with your album.

Can confirm. Did sell soul. Didn't get collab. Cried.

[GET A LOAD OF THIS:]

The Album is LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY.
You guys loved the 8-bit music... little did you know the long "awaited" rock opera features some "new age" 8-bit... which you'll hear in full soon... but for now......

GET A LOAD OF THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCmZGANPMlo&feature=youtu.be

(and yes, the autotune is an effect here, not a constant thing!)

The Album is finally coming in November. Get ready friends, right after you've (hopefully) soaked up some new BW music, you'll have a bit more!

9 Tracks - 23 Minutes - 2 Movements

A truly new kind of album for a new time, a rock opera meant to be listened to in full even considering the rush of today's lifestyle.
My Album, my story, adapted to your life... coming in November.   

That title is so BW. I love it. Almost as good as Pet Sounds (as a title... get off my back! )

BW Music - Modern Singer.....

HEAVEN. Yes please. I need an album like this.

Thanks man!! Maybe we could all find a way to get these more views?

And yes sonic r is love and life

Oh... And I'd just like to throw out there concerning the commercial point- I actually do this for commission for guys making indie games, except normally I write the music and it has a bit more than just the standard 8 but stuffs... But just wanted you to know your hunch about the "commerical-ness" is totally on par haha!

Wow thanks guys!! I really wouldn't know how to go about that... But I would love that!

All of the percussive effects are created by "Toad" which is essentially a vst that samples old NES sound effects to use as drums! I believe the one you're referring to is from Super Mario 3 or something like that...

I'll keep this up, glad to know you guys like it!

Thanks so much guys.

As a thanks, here's a much more complex song...

HEROESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This specifically is not; but I can't say for sure you won't see anything like this 


Speaking of that... The promotion begins really soon... Can't wait to show it off...

Hey thanks man!

Okay, so what I do is use "peach" and "toad" VSTs. They're free, and work really well. As far as tracking software, I use "Mixcraft 6" and a midi keyboard.

Most of this stuff is free for the software of your choice, so check it out!

New side channel

A one day project, I jam out to some tracks from one of my favorite sonic games.

If you'd like to see the rest of the soundtrack done, let me know. Also, I'll probably have to go back and remix some tracks, but for now... Just wanna gauge interest.

Please enjoy!

It's You
Mike LeRoy

When I was down, you were there to help me out.
My guiding light when my mind was full of doubt.

You, It's You---

You needed me, and you know I needed you.
All of the love that you gave, I'll give it too.

You, It's You---

When you close your eyes and rest your head at night,
tears will fill mine until the morning light.
When I'm without you, can't see another way,
Hoping that you will fall in love some day.

You, It's You---


Glad to see you're in!
