All You Need Is Less Than What You Think

I can hardly believe week 10 is in the bag! This seems a fitting time to reflect on how it's all going. I knew doing weekly beats would be a challenge, but there have been unexpected rewards. The community here a huge plus. Tbh I was expecting some judginess and elitism, but actually everyone is so positive and encouraging, it's so great. There have been quite a few weeks already where I have been super busy with work and have uploaded a track I was not that happy with. But I have found that being able to finish my track for the week even with all of life's other things going on, gives me a little boost and makes me feel... capable. The biggest positive for me so far is that having a regular creative output makes me feel happier and balanced. So as a result of doing weekly beats, I have been much happier in general all year. My beliefs about creativity being a life "practice" are renewed and confirmed. And of course, I have already learned so much by practising my beat making each week! I'm really enjoying this learning journey.
In this track, I continue my exploration of peppy house-y beats, fiddling around with samples for texture, and sparkly tones. Tools are: Roland Gaia, Roland FP-50 digital piano and Ableton Live.
