smoking menthol cigarettes, drinking pepsi & getting banned from local open mics - I am a genuine party machine.

I have missed the blind panic of composing songs on sunday- so wb2k16 seemed the logical choice to get my palpitations back. xxxxx

Rigol DS1054Z. If you need more bandwidth you can hack the firmware to make it go up to 100MHz. Bang for buck. Also, I just heard about the Owon VDS3104, which is probably one of the only PC scopes done right, but expect lag when changing settings.

Haven't been on WB since my few submission to WB 2012.
Since then I've graduated college and started working at a modular synth company as an engineer. I've really gotten away from making music, and I'm hoping WB will help me motivate myself to get back into the swing of things.

Happy so see some familiar faces in this thread, looking forward to hearing what everyone makes this year!

Just started winter session at college. Other than that, not nearly enough neutral I haven't made any full-feeling, completed art in way too long. But this website is a cool concept, and hopefully I'll stick to it :-)

I just finished my degree too. Which is why my music has suffered and i couldnt do weebee 14. Though I am considering jumping right back into school so we'll see how much life will suck in the "free time" regards soon. Trying to get an entry level job in SQL dev, plenty of opportunities, but less than 2 years experience sucks for me :'(

Didn't do much last year musically; focused mainly on work. Contract's over, so back to the DAW it is for me.

I was woefully unproductive in 2015. Started a bunch of tracks and didn't finish any of them. Only played 2 shows. I did work on improving my drumming skills, so there's that.

I'm going to use WB as a sort of kick-in-the-pants to force me to compose with more frequency.

I spent 2015 polishing some WB'14 mixes (my Soundcloud lives still in 2014!), rearranging my studio, developing my skills in Chuck musical programming language and learning some Reaktor also.

I built myself a small modular setup and made my first steps in hardware design (still choosing an oscilloscope to buy...). Improved my workflow and got back to some old-school hardware samplers, which I used to create some soundbanks for 2016.

I've got some tracks ready for an EP, my first Bandcamp release: some ambient/drone/berlin-school stuff a little bit far from my usual Boom Bap/Hiphop-esque stuff. Got back to Blender and Processing so I can match the artwork you guys put in your releases.

And, also very important, I kept track of some of my favourite WeeklyBeaters smile

Your "ANNO EP" is quite good. Mellow yet somewhat disturbing... Currently checking the rest of your stuff smile

Oh hey, thanks! Yes - mellow and disturbing is sort what I was going for wink
