ImmyShack's News

Yo. With the conclusion of NGMC 2025, I secure the 17th place in the contest. Not bad, but not very impressive either.

Recap:


When I first heard of the contest, I wanted to work with my friend Jini for the whole contest, later on I decided to work with Voytek Music for round 3, but the rest of the rounds I would've worked with Jini.


Round 1 was the easiest of them all; I made a demo at my friends house, even recorded him singing, which I turned into a choir pad I used in my part.

I made my arrangement in a few hours in the NG Audio Pub VC. Week later I added more elements and extended the part by several bars or so. I was frustrated at the fact that my mix was worse than when I initially finished my part, but Jini did his magic and the mix sounds great. He glued our parts and finished the song in a few hours. After that I tried teaching him how to do thumbnails like I do, so the final cover (which is a blend of his and mine part) doesn't look too odd. I checked the song's page and magically we had a ton of views, and we uploaded like 3 hours ago. It turns out we got frontpaged!! I was surprised when I noticed.


We got 7th place in the round.

Listen here:


People really loved the song, me included, and that brought a ton of hope to the remaining rounds...


Round 2 - absolute hell

For the tropical theme of this round, we weren't sure with Jini on how to work on our submission - Tropical house? Trance with a tropical twist? Eventually we decided on beach rock. Jini made beach rock, and I was supposed to do a similiar thing. I had an idea to use a slap bass solo, so I asked my friend, which played the bass if she could do one. She didn't have much experience with slapping, so I asked her to record a few basslines, which I used in the song. However, I barely had time to do rock, and combined with my inexperience with the genre, I had to scrap the idea and rush the song on the final day of the contest. Instead I produced a "tropical" trance tune, gluing Jini's elements with whatever I came up with. I'm not very proud of it.


We got 9th place in the round.

Listen here:


For round 3, I was going to work with Voytek, however I didn't have time to work on my submission as I was in the US at the florida tow show there. Voytek gave up on his part too.


Round 4 was very frustrating. I teamed up with ZuwerWS - musician who does VERY UNIQUE jazz: odd time signatures, scales and what not. This was a problem for me as I wasn't really sure on how to glue trance with jazz. I borrowed a few melodies from Zuwer's part and adapted them to mine. Not the best result but it'll do. I didn't want Zuwer's part to go to waste, so I added it at the end. Full song lasts almost 8 minutes!

We got 12th place.


Round 5 is probably the worst of them all. I was supposed to work with Quintivium, which I was very hyped for. However, he was inactive the whole round and I was forced to switch partners. I teamed up with FantasistEldrun. He supplied me with a few melodies which I used in the bridge before the final drop. I pulled an all nighter finishing the song, because I had no idea on what to add in the song, so I did whatever came up to mind.

I was quite surprised that people loved it. Hell, even 3manon gave a higher rating than for GP1, which I think is the best one.

I got 7th place in the round, which is good actually. Higher than Arpie & Andy!!


7th place!!! Just like in GP1!!!

listen here:


NGMC wasn't so bad, though as I mentioned earlier, I'm very disappointed by my submissions after GP1, I swear I could do better. If not my laziness or me being clueless on what to do, I definitely would've scored a higher position than 17th place. But whatevs. It was an challenge I'd love to repeat! See y'all next year!!!!

Sonia, my dog that's been with us for 10 years, has died this morning.


She's been diabetic, went blind and kept losing weight for a few months now, and her health has been going down recently.

Yesterday she couldn't do anything - eat, drink water or even stand up on her own. Luckily I managed to spend my final moments with her before she passed. God missed her so much that he wanted her earlier I guess. I would've done that too.


My other dog - Rocky, died in march 2023, and I never had the chance to say goodbye to him.

I miss them both. They've been with me almost my entire life, and it doesn't feel the same without them.

May they rest in peace. [*]

YO!!! ~Epilogue~ JUST HIT 1000 VIEWS!!!

iu_1362871_21672248.jpg

I remember hitting 100 views on ~Time~ & [memory_lane] back in July. I didn't think I'd reach 1000 views in less than a year!

I'm working on a couple of songs, so expect them soon!


Over a thousand people have listened to my work! Thank you!

Yo!! ~Epilogue~ got Frontpaged!!


iu_1362599_21672248.webp


This is such an accomplishment for me! I've been doing trance for over an year now and I'm happy that my works are reaching new audiences!!


Last time I checked, the song had 80 views. Now ~Epilogue~ has dethroned [memory_lane]!

Honestly, I expected ~Power of Pleasure!!~ to get frontpaged, but I guess

"The songs I work on the least, get more popular than the songs I work on the most."

theory is in play here.


Edit: ~Epilogue~ has now dethroned ~Time~!!!!!

ENDLESS, the album summing up my (almost) year long journey in trance music, is finally here!

11 tracks recorded from my humble beginnings (>23.03.24) up until today, 14.02.25, with 4 being songs I released before, and 7 brand new tunes.



I faced time constraints and writer's block while producing the album, and it forced me to unfortunately rush some of the songs, but I ensured all the songs on the album are quality releases.


I sold the album at my school fair today! It sold like hot buns!

I've handed CDs to my principal, my form tutor and my friends!


I made the cover art myself. I'm quite a big fan of it.

Yo! Happy new years!


This year has been going crazy for me. new people, new experiences, NEW TALENTS?!

I've been producing music since march this year, which is pretty impressive in my opinion. My musical journey has been going up and down, however, I can say it was a fine year. Hopefully the next one will be even better.

Check out the evolution of ~Time~ !


~Time~ (April 2024)

The difference is amazing!


Although I'm pretty disappointed I haven't released more songs (including 2 unreleased which are almost finished) this year, expect them NEXT YEAR!!


Thank you!

Yo! Just released my newest track: Mutual Dreams!


Writing this song was pretty challenging; first mix kept clipping like crazy, some instruments were barely hearable and much more. With tips from other people and time I pretty much fixed everything.


I also updated 'Thru the Starry Night. Better mix and such. Be sure to check that too.


Man I'm glad I finished it. 23 hours of my life could've went on sleeping and other things yet I spent 'em on this.


Have a listen!

Yo! Recently, ~Time~ and [memory_lane] hit 100 views! It may be a small milestone for many, but a large milestone for me! Over a hundred people have heard my works! Thank you!


I did finish the song I talked about before, but I need a female vocalist for it, and I haven't found anyone... Know someone? Send me a message!


I could always release the instrumental, but I'm not sure.
