I’ve now listened to all tracks from the week one drop. And this is my comment to all of you: Well done.

While not every track will stick with me, a few will, and on the other hand I disliked 0 tracks.

Great range of genres, moods, techniques and instrumentation. From true to genre to genre defying – most somewhere in between, bending genres. Some harsh, some mysterious, many melancholic, some frantic, some happy and even a few jolly. From simple to ultra-complex; from somewhat generic to purely experimental. From sparse to dense.

The most common trait seemed to be an instrument though – the m8 tracker of which I was unaware of before entering this year's WB. Must be quite a piece of kit since so many of you were inspired to use it.

I won’t be able to listen to all tracks all weeks, but will try to do the same some week midway and in the final week, so hang in there!

I agree!  Everyone is awesome!  Even the "oh this is a throwaway track" - I can still hear the ideas and the fun of tentatively exploring an idea.

The creator of the WB website also created the M8!  There's been a great community surrounding the M8's production & development - so that's why there's a new influx of people.  All the M8 people are certainly making me want to get one smile

Aha, I wondered if there was a A8/WB connection – and, so, certainly there is.
