amazing what you got done in an hour - especially having to honor your self inflicted formula. I get pleasant ambient vibes around the minute mark and a great listen throughout

It's a curse and a blessing altogether!
Nothing amazing actually: the same loop over and over again, a new instrument every 4 bars, tempo slowed down almost to oblivion and a lot of reverb, and voilà.
Next week will be the mark of the second half of the year and I'll get a bit more time, we'll see if it translates into better quality of sound. : )

Neat track. The slowing down really adds a tone of vibe to the piece. And the sporadic arpeggiating hits are cool! The sudden silence at 2:25 feels, well, sudden. And I don't like that the sound comes back after that. To me it feels the sound should just have held on, rather than letting go. But other than that, this is cool!

Thanks for the feedback!
Thought about the end as long as I could (around thirty seconds), it felt also strange, but having this constraint of coming up with something the week after, I couldn't let it just ring out, it would make it harder to use it and have a transition into the next track.
Decisions, decisions...

Makes sense, you definitely want to set yourself up for a good start on this week's tune. And I'm sure you'll make it make sense within the context of your whole opus. But on its own like that, it stood out to me. Hence me mention it like that.

I am going to go back and hear the old stuff now
Are you going to mix them all together after?

Keeping it simple is a good thing

There is this want to overcomplicate when producing

Thank you

Here you go!
Mix has been done in Audacity it's not the smoothest but at least you can listen to everything in one go.
I've skipped the last outro to have a sense of conclusion to the mix, although I'll surely continue the series next week.

Not overcomplicate is easy when you do not have the leisure to!
Lack of time and doing WB in this manner is also the reason this year has been the most prolific in 20 years (the Dirtywave M8 is also to blame, it's formidable).

Thanks for listening!

The slowdown is such a simple concept, but the result is all the more stronger for it. Love it when new sounds start to appear in the gaps. Super cool stuff mate!

It was the only thing I could afford, it's the only thing you got, thankfully you liked it!
Hoping to hear more raps from you in this year's second half.
