Explaining The Punchline

..but then it's not funny anymore.
I don't like this one, it is very ugly. This week I was devoid of inspiration for Weekly Beats. As a middle finger to my failing creativity, I deliberately made some horrible sounds on M8 and haphazardly threw them together into this. Somehow, this one ended up using only wavsynth and macrosynth and spans a total of four tracks. All done on Dirtywave M8. No need to polish a turd, so I didn’t do any extra mastering.
This week, I did have fun with my submission for the Dirtywave M8 Discord Meetup: a track I made last year called “Ghostwriter”. It’s more of a demo than a song, really. When it plays on an M8 device, it takes over control via internal MIDI and starts to add to the song as it plays, while doing all sorts of shenanigans. I put in some time this week to add a couple more tricks at the end. You can see the latest version of it in the M8 Discord Meetup video. If you want to compare, the original is here.
