Magical Sonic Blooms: Zach Bilcsik's 'Videogame!' tells you an entire story

Hailing from Greensburg, US, Zach Bilcsik is an extraordinary music creator compiling combinations of chords and cadences, composing them into a drug-like melody that gets you hooked. Dwindling with a vast range of electronic music styles, the artist crafts records that are the perfect addition to your playing session playlist. Growing up on videogame soundtracks, FX and foley at Haunted Hillside in Mount Pleasant PA, and his dad's CD collection, Zach has been drawing influence from Eminem, Skrillex, Afroman, Dr. Dre, Wu-Tang, Pink, The Minutemen, Ozzy Osborne, and many more, since his boyhood days. Taking a metaphorical approach through electronic sounds, the artist always has an emotional connection to his tracks that shelters a deeper meaning that only a few might truly understand.

Funky, Groovy, and Meaningful: Zach Bilcsik's music sounds like a distorted tune of a video game but also contains a deeper, vulnerable sentimental journey.

Zach Bilcsik's latest release, the mind-boggling and peace-giving EP 'Videogame!,' is a 6-track beauty portraying the whorls of life through non-vocal harmonies that deliver your soul into a different world and your mind into a trance. Specially designed for streaming while playing "video games," this EP contains tracks composed of tunes and chords positioned delicately, to create an atmosphere for your brain to relax and focus on the task you're doing at the time.


Commencing with the bouncy ride of 'The Grind,' this project shows great potential from the very start. As the track proceeds, the tunes start to sound like a disrupted, mixed version of sounds combined from different games we played as a child and still love as a grown-up. Moving forward, we witness 'Caves,' 'Shop,' and 'Character Creation,' we recognize a pattern in the EP of a storyline of how we move forward while playing a game, revealing the backstory of the project and the symbolism and significance of the title of the EP.


Stepping forward, toward the end, we hear the climax and ending part of the project and the storyline with 'Energy Reserves,' and 'Title Screen,' which are comparatively soft-paced to create an aura of suspense and seriousness as we reach the end, feeling refreshed and satisfied. This entire release is enough to make your day a lot better and your gameplay as well.
