Pressure City (ft. Dan Menard)

 

Spotify

Apple Music:

 

Background: I was trying to get into writing music for video games and I came up with a bunch of songs as a showcase of my writing abilities. The songs included Which Way Now, Clockshop, Ferry Good and Pressure City. It was always done in a rock style but originally it sounded a lot denser. After I found not much luck and after I quickly worked out that the game music industry was so completely saturated I gave up exploring that route entirely.

I was trying to find collaborations like normal when I came across Dan Menard who was doing some transformers covers. The exact logic of why I thought this song would be a good fit for him is probably because it has some very nice guitar patterns which weren't overly complicated. Since I can't really play or record instruments very well I outsourced the work all the way to the other side of the world in order to make it more interesting.

Mr Menard has since told me that he would love to work with me again at some point in the future so I strongly believe there will be a sequel if not more.

Structure:

[0:00] Intro (6 bars)

[0:18] Verse (8 bars)

[0:43] Pre-Chorus (2 bars)

[0:50] Chorus (8 bars)


[1:14] Pre-verse (8 bars) … the equivalent to instrumental part in a song with vocals

[1:39] Verse (8 bars)

[2:04] Pre-Chorus (2 bars)

[2:10] Chorus (8 bars)


[2:35] Middle Section (8 bars)

[3:00] Chorus (8 bars)

[3:25] Outro (8 bars)

Sign of Weakness Album Discussion

  Youtube Link Hyperfollow  Discord Sign of Weakness: Hey Everyone. This is my first ever solo album so I'm pretty thrilled to be sharing it with you all - although yes there are no vocals on this time, instead you are getting pure 100% Frecre from the flesh of the album to the bones (including the artwork). I think going through the Folder of songs I discarded in the making in this album only 18% of the songs made it this far so I can assure this album is of high calibre.  So what has Frequency Creature been up to this time? After having done my exams for the year I have gone through one of my music folders and this time rather than leaving them in a graveyard to stew I have used my expertise to generate 10 high quality instrumental tracks containing elements of electronic music, synthwave, ambient, rock and even a little bit of pop. The trouble with people that write a lot of music (cough cough me) is that the versions of the song can change quite a lot so within the w...

Trying To Stay Awake

  Spotify: Apple Music:   Background: After been doing a long series of collaborations which I am still doing I decided that it was time to release some solo material - mainly because its a lot faster to make and I enjoy being able to create a release exactly how I picture it. I think it's a very fun dreamy track but it still has some kind of element of a chorus although there are no vocal parts at all in this. I made this track 2018 but its gone under a lot of revisions to get to the point where it is now and the only thing that remains from the original version is the opening riff. I originally made it about somebody in my life who turned out to be very toxic and how I was very frustrated with them.   Fun Fact: This is my first solo release and my first to feature one of my favourite synths the Surrealistic MG-1+. It is also my longest song so far.

Stuck in a Loop (Alright + Calling 911 + Mess)

  Hello friends! It's Frequency Creature here and I'm here to give you a little bit about my second album with Mebo.   After the big success of Deepest Lie and the first album we were definitely hungry for another taste of success so we immediately got started on a second album (I think we've even mentioned a fifth album casually but we are definitely thinking about a third album). I've been spending my days travelling round the UK for university so I've been having a chance to feel very inspired and also had a decent amount of time to reflect on the mistakes of the last album. It's probably quite obvious that the album this time is much louder and much more saturated because the songs were definitely not standing out in all the playlists. We made a bunch of demos like always and sadly we had to reduce it down to just nine again but one of the songs called "Nostalgia" I think we are planning to re-record for another release.  Anyway I will write down f...
