Greetings Humans (Albums and Introduction, 75+ Follows))

Posted by ChordC - June 11th, 2023

Greetings Humans,


I am Chord C, song composer, music listener, soon-to-be pilot, aviation enthusiast, and generally a curios person. Feel free to check my releases, links, and albums down here:



Here is my latest release, album cover by @MATRVG and @Mejson:

Now, story time:


I have known about this website since I was 8, and have watched some Newgrounds (NG) contents and played some NG games for quite a while at that age, but then I forgot about when I reached around 10-11 years old. What I fondly remembered at those times were watching Counter Strike animations, played some Flash games like Shift Heads, Crush the Castle, and numerous other Flash games that I couldn't remember. Fun fact, I didn't even have an NG account back then, I have only made an account in December 2020, and it was the result of me trying to find one of my favorite Counter Strike (CS) animations that I watched when I was little.


And so this is how the story goes. I had forgotten about this site for around a decade, up until I had he urge to find one of my childhood animations. Maybe it was one of those moments where you have grown up, and you wanna have some nostalgic experience from your childhood or something. And so, I commenced a hunt for this CS animation series that I remember watching as a kid. I scoured through YouTube and NG, but to no avail... Until I stumbled upon a playlist on YouTube, Then lo and behold, I have found them. The animator of the CS series is none other than @Mejson (be sure to check him out!). The series' name is CS.SiFvsSa2C (I know, no wonder I couldn't remember the name), and you can find them here:



Also, they are being remastered by @MATRVG be sure to check him out too!


After I have found @Mejson on YouTube, I wrote a comment on one of his videos. Surprisingly, he replied! And we both chatted on YouTube comment section for a while. He told me that he was still animating. Coincidentally, I have gained interest in composing songs since I was in high school, and I have been getting a hang of it. I told him that I can make songs for him if he is interested, fortunately, he accepted the offer, and so begins my "career" on NG. I immediately created an NG account and continued our conversation there. That was when I met @Mejson 's crew. From then on, I started composing songs for his animations, and the crew was impressed. They won't need to use copyrighted and find royalty-free songs anymore :)


After a while, @MATRVG joined the party, his circumstances are the same as mine (Watched @Mejson 's animation in his childhood, and rewatching it again as an adult). And boy he is a very nice addition, since he is also a Stick Animator. Check his Line of Work series here:

I am now making songs for two Stick Animators, and I am very happy with that. Note that I am not really a "Professional" song composer, I do not use fancy DAWs or VSTs, I only use Ipad Garageband. Though limited, it gets the job done XD. I want to expand my skills and knowledge of course, though I am very busy with pilot school for now (yes, I also want to become a commercial pilot). As a result, I am not able to be very "active" in my music-composing career. In other words, I am only doing this as a hobby. 


And that is my story, feel free to check out my releases, links, and albums! Also check out @Mejson and @MATRVG!


Finally, I wanna make a shoutout to some amazing people I have found and interacted on this site:


  • @ZaazNG one of the most talented all-round artists I have ever known. Thank you for the complements and feedbacks btw!
  • @VortexSupernova talented artist and composer. Thank you for the reviews and letting me use one of your arts for AIM!

  • @MariogD @Mejson 's brother who initially came up with the idea of making CS animations back in the day.

I will be minding my own business now. 


Thank you so much for your time, have a nice day!

Oh yeah, I am very happy you were able to find us despite our wonderful - very easy - animations’ title. Everything changed since that moment!

ChordC

Hehehe it’s nice that @Mejson uploaded the animations to YouTube, would not have found it if that were not the case. Everything changed indeed!

Mejson

Yes, greetings to earthlings! (We aliens have to stick together XD).

Yeaaaaa!!! Cool! Excellent @ChordC! I like this!

Well... I was also on NG for a long time (and watched videos and played games) before I realized that I can create my own account here! :) The good old days...

Beautiful story mate... I was touched :)

Thank you friend for such promotion and praise! That's nice :)

Warm greetings to everyone!

ChordC

Ayyy thank you so much for the comment!

Hehehe the good old days indeed, it was full of fun memories :)

Glad you enjoyed the story, the story is still going though ;)

No problem friend, you deserve it :)

ZaazNG

Love you brotha! Will always support your work my friend, thank you for the shout out! :)

ChordC

Love you too brotha! (No gay alright XD) always support your work too my friend, you’ve come a long way friend, proud of your achievements thus far :)

MATRVG

Greetings, mate! I'm also happy we've found each other who had same ambitions... Thank you for your work for us and mentioning me on the post, appreciate it!

As for me, you're goddamn breaking point for Mejson's crew when it came to making musics. We're very lucky to have talented friend like you ^^

Keep looking after yourself, buddy!

ChordC

Greetings, partner! I am happy as well, glad that our circumstances have made us all come together to work on amazing projects! You deserve the mentions for sure.

Hehehe I am glad to be a part of that, very lucky to have you too :)

You as well buddy!

Mejson

@ZaazNG uuuuuuuuu nice!

ChordC

Extremely nice!

Percentblue

Thank you so much for the shoutout! Your tracks are awesome and can’t wait to hear more. Good luck on becoming a pilot!

ChordC

No worries mate, thank you you as well! There will be more in the future ;) Thanks mate, good luck on whatever you’re trying to achieve!

Jabun

Thanks for the shoutout and super pleased you were happy with our collaboration :D Also super cool about becoming a pilot! All the best and have a great time!

ChordC

All deserved mate, pleased to have collaborated with you too :) thanks mate, all the best for you too!

Cyberdevil

Hey hey it seems I'm the second most mentioned user in this post! :P Much obliged!

Nice to read your story in full like this, and all the more impressive you make as good music as you do even without those 'fancy DAWs' as you say. You wouldn't think you were anything but a professional! No matter the program though you really are. Your musical craftmanship's impressive. Wonder how you first got started with that? Classic schooling? Just playing around and teaching yourself?

Of course impressive path with the piloting too! Ganbatte!

Appreciate the shoutout, and collaboration too, looking forward to more in the future!

ChordC

Heheheh much obliged indeed!

Heheheh I’ll take that as a complement, thank you very much :) I started back in high school when my class was asked to perform a theatrical drama. Since I have a musical skill, I volunteered to be the song composer and sound man. As it happened, I was beginning to take interest in Garageband :) That was when I started experimenting with Garageband further and start making actual songs ;) It was 90% self-taught, the other 10% was through YouTube tutorials.

Indeed, thank you so much! Good luck on your endeavors too!

No worries mate! Looking forward too!

Cyberdevil

Of course. :) Hmm but how did you get that musical skill in the first place? Did you play instruments growing up? Were you just born with an ear for notes and all? That's a cool start on production, a good school really can push you towards the right things. :)

Thank you thank you!

ChordC

Hehehe well, I tried out a guitar when I was 8, then I tried out piano, drums and finally bass guitar. I believe I was quite decent, but I don’t have that passion to be so serious with those instruments.

When I found Garageband, I discovered that I can make complicated songs without having to practice a single instrument XD. Tbh, my music theory is basic, but I have this ability where I can tell if a note or musical rifts sound good or not. I also use my imagination and trial & error to come up with new rifts and such. I guess you can say that I was born with ears for notes too.

I plan to improve my musical knowledge by taking class in Udemy, I’ve bought a musical course there, I’ll go through them when I have the chance.

No worries mate

Cyberdevil

Ooh that was early though! I wonder if you develop musical ability better the younger you are, I played some guitar and piano myself, but started late, didn't get that good at it.

Sounds like you really do have talent for this! :D That's awesome, being able to go by ear like that, do you know if maybe you have perfect pitch too?

Finna be a next level producer after that! :) Nice.

ChordC

Well I guess that makes sense, the number of neurons in your brain decreases as you age, so takes longer to master something the older you are. Though keep in mind you still can get better ;) If you cannot get the hang of an instrument, there’s always a virtual instrument ;)

I belive so :) I guess it’s an inherent thing. Not really into singing, but I do know some basics of how to sing, e.g. use your “stomach voice”. Maybe I can do some low or medium notes, but nothing to exciting XD

Heheheh, I will find the time to learn deeper ;)

Cyberdevil

Decreasing neurons huh, wonder if we'll figure out how to do something about that in our lifetime. XD They recently discovered a type of jellyfish that doesn't age,intriguing possibilities! For sure never too late to learn new things either, I believe as long as you keep trying it takes longer for said learning ability to wane away too, gotta stay active. :)

That's awesome. :D Super handy ability to have even outside song I'd think, being able to easily replicate other compositions, pinpoint the secrets in all types of sounds... would be interesting to hear you sing sometime too!

*thumbsup!*

ChordC

Ohh I really hope so, there’s also CRISPR, a kind of technology which can let us edit genes! We are really going somewhere. And of course we can always learn new things no matter the age, just less efficiently as we age. Regardless of that, just keep learning ;)

Yess it is I think an inherent ability. Listening to a lot of wide genres of songs and playing instruments give us memories and patterns that we can utilize in the future. Sure! Tell me if you have any project that needs backing :)

Cyberdevil

Ooh interesting! I didn't know about that one. If there's anything rich old people ought seek to advance it'd be a longer life, so hopefully at least this type of research really is getting the funds it needs too. :) Yupp yupp, keep enlightening yourself; keep curious! Keep appreciating life and you'll keep on living too. Until time is due.

I don't think it's one just anybody can pick up with experience either, tis a special thing. :) Hmm hmmm maybe something this October then! Will keep in mind.
