GigakoopsRBN Announcements Thread

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could have sworn we already had previews for those songs.

These are new previews, with a few charting differences and venue direction.

We did, but those were the old V1's. The newer ones are previews for V3 of Amazing, V2 for The Feeling You Get When You Have A Happy Moment, and IRWIHHTST is still being worked on.

In case you missed this yesterday, here were my announcements from the Monthly RBN Community Thread:

Before I announce new videos and songs, I'd like to advertise a bit until my last video uploads.

Two songs have released from GigakoopsRBN since the last announcement thread. The first was Gigakoops' "Death In General." The song is so hard on guitar, non-authors debate whether the song is overcharted or not (I can tell you though that it's note-for-note). Don't believe it's nuts? Take a look at this solo. Reactions are priceless, too. So if you're into incredible difficulty, this should join your collection of RBN guitar songs.

This week, A Talking Fish's second RBN song, "(I Want to Go to) Space," was released on Rock Band. A short, sweet song about intergalactic adventures, this song is nothing short of fun. ATF even uploaded a new preview for you guys! So if you enjoyed "Cheesy Pop Song," you'll enjoy this, too.

So that's it until the last video uploads. And boy do I have some awesome videos for you!

OK, videos are uploaded, and I can get to work on announcing things!

First, some videos for songs that I've announced.

A few months back I said that forum member TylerFG was putting music on Rock Band. And now I have some videos up for his songs!

First up is Truism, which is less of a song and more of an experiment with music creation software. Doesn't mean I'm not releasing it, though Here's a preview.

Second up is Regeneration. A simple keyboard solo, this is the kind of music I'd imagine hearing on a loading screen. But it's fun to play! Here, take a look.

And last, we have Arc Words. A simple jam, this song offers a few fun riffs on everything. Here's a preview.


Also, I, Gigakoops, still have most of an album to release. First off is "Levels," a four-part melody inspired by different video games. Level 1 is furious, insane opening, with tons of notes crammed into 2 minutes. Level 2 calms down a bit, but is still a little tough on keys and drums. Level 3 is a drum and bass driven piece that includes some tough drum fills. And Level 4 is the easiest Gigakoops song to date, with an extremely laid-back style of play. And the song itself is rather relaxing.

On the other side of the coin, The Final Boss is the most insane Gigakoops song yet. If you thought the guitar on Death In General, the Drums and Keys on the earlier versions of Night, and the Bass on Project Unknown look hard, you gotta take a look at this! GigakoopsRBn does not take responsibility for broken instruments from fits of rage after failing this song.

And now, the moment you've been waiting for, A Talking Fish's "I Love GNF." With plenty of forum jokes and fun instrumentation and vocals, this song was built to satisfy everyone. I bet GNF and the Opening Acts are proud.

But wait, there's more! Later...

So, you ready for the new song announcement? OK!

GigakoopsRBN is proud to announce the first metal song from the company:

Hagroth's "Prey of the Dragon (Laszlolåten)."

This is an epic, 10-minute parody of Hagroth's physics/programming/math teacher. It also has insane guitar solos!

A friend of RBN artist DJRaptoz, Hagroth is a metal fan with the skills of Ynwie Malmsteen. And this song is nothing short of epic. Through it's Meshugga-inspired opening, to it's heavy verses, to it's acoustic bridge, it's breakdown, it's insane solo, and epic outro, this is a song any metalhead shouldd be proud to see on Rock Band.

Wanna know what else? We're trying something avant-garde with this one: We're putting rhythm guitar on keys! There will be two versions of the song: one with keys reduced to be possible for keyboards (the one in the preview) and a version with a fully charted rhythm guitar track made so you can have three guitars at once! This version also includes double bass.

So there it is, fellow posters of the "Ban the Above Person Thread," the song I was building up to.

I wish you all a happy new year, and a good night.

And today, Nathaniel Whitlock posted this:

OK, I am here because LHV forgot to get previews for two of my songs, or something, and I wanted to upload them myself, anyway. (The other being in authoring, still, I'm trying to finish up the authoring and speed things up.), so here they are.

Laszlo! V-window!

I Love the epic Guitar vs Drums solo!

Forgot a "G." And it took this long for someone to take notice

Still, thanks.

Here is the finished version of Gigakoops new album Missing Chromosones... and proud of it http://cinemetalbloghog.files.wordpr...hromosones.jpg.

Gigakoops check your email, give me some feedback and descriptions of all the files are there

Also what is the name of your concept album

[LiveHomeVideo]

Thanks, sir.

And since you mentioned it, I'm working on two albums:

Missing Chromosomes... and Proud of It is a basic second album. It will have a mix of instrumentals and songs with actual lyrics in them. I'm going for actually good sound this time, and will be mixing the normal stuff with prog rock, while incorporating clean and death metal vocals.

And the third album will be a concept album. I'm thinking I want to parody something, but I'm not spilling much details yet...

Stay tuned.

Your backwards apology song on band camp is, like, two minutes long, and is mostly silence.

Your backwards apology song on band camp is, like, two minutes long, and is mostly silence.

First off, I set it as a bonus track. If it were an album on CD, it'd be like Nirvana's Endless, Nameless off of Nevermind, where it's after several minutes of silence.

Second off, how'd you find it on Bandcamp?!? You're supposed to download the album in order to listen to it (or find the YouTube link).

Third off, no, I am not bringing it to Rock Band. Talk about most pointless FC ever.
