GoophBaLL Also Known As "PsQueak" Is A One-Man Video-Game Inspired Music Chip-Tune Inspired Music Melodic Electronic Music And Experimental Electronic Music Project Created By Kody J. Beard In Western Tennessee America. Growing Up And Raised On Video-Games And Computers Kody Found A Deep Love And Respect For Both. With So Much Time Spent On Video-Games As A Child A Large Majority Of The Music He Heard Daily Came From What Are Now Vintage Consoles. This Bled Into A Taste For Video-Game Music Which Developed Alongside A Growing Taste For Other Musical Styles Ranging From Pop Rap To Techno And Even Metal. His Love For Video-Game Music And Other Styles Of Music Has Persisted To This Very Day And Manifested Itself Within His Own Music Which Brings Both Chip-Style Gaming Music And Modern Day Gaming Music Together And Mixes Them With More Contemporary Musical Styles. The Range Of Influences And Inspirations He Sites Is Quite Varied Which Includes Famed Video-Game Composers Such As Jun Senoue And Jun Chikuma Melodic Death Metal Band In Flames Electronic Music Group The Prodigy And House Producers Daft Punk Among Many Others. GoophBaLL's Music Consists Largely Of Melodic 8-Bit Style Chip-Style Music And "video Game And Computer" Styled Music With Common Vintage Video-Game NES Genesis Computer Or Technology Themes In Mind. Another Large Portion Of His Music Focuses On The More Modern Take On Video-Game Inspired Music Dropping The Vintage NES Gameboy And Computer Sound For A More Present-Day Representation Of What Game Music Can Sound Like Today With The Improved Technology Available To Today's Gaming Universe. His Songs Both Chip-Style And Modern Style Tunes Alike Are Usually Blended With Elements Of Other Musical Styles Such As Funk Hip-Hop House And Electro-House Chillout/downtempo Ambient Hardcore Electronic Music Breakbeat Among Others. GoophBaLL Occasionally Releases Full-Fledged Tracks In Completely Non-Video Game Related Styles Electro-House Instrumental Beat Hardcore Others... A Big Focus Of His Music Is Melody And Rhythm. GoophBaLL Has Been Quoted- "I Try To Make The Melody The Main Point Of My Music. I Don't Saturate My Music With Fancy Effects Or 'active' Sounds- I Feel That Overusing These Can Mask What's Going On On The Surface Of The Song. What I Want Is A Solid Melody That Goes Places. If An Effect Is Just Doing It's Own Thing Taking Front Center Stage And Not Enhancing The Melody In Some Way I Don't Use It."
