Some of my most cherished moments are those I have spent sitting around, exhausted, perhaps on the verge of falling asleep, just playing with sounds and improvising. There's no way to recreate the feeling with a recording - every note makes sense while you play it, but never when heard again. Oh well. I recorded the last few minutes before I passed out one night this week and turned that in. It's not much, but it's what I did this week, I spent a great deal of time playing and loving it, very little time writing something that will be played again.

You're right. This is hopeless. I'm quitting Weekly Beats to save myself from the pain.
My one love, taken from me in the dead of night! Oh infinite woe!

My track was very average. I didn't spend enough time and effort on it.
Hopefully this week will be different.
This is me in a nutshell. Songs are up though, no looking back!
For what it's worth, I got to record some Theremin time, which is great!

Are you Poppi as in Poppi Doser of Antia? My love for that collaboration is infinite.

Lazerscale only had a handful of people - communication was easily taken care of over IRC or email if needed.
There are many more people doing WeeklyBeats. It makes sense to have a forum to foster a community and make collaborations easier as well as sharing thoughts etc.
I appreciate the decision to add a forum to this endeavor, as long as it stays civil I feel some good insight might be thrown out by participants. Everyone has a negative opinion towards something and they'll likely come out on the forum, that's what it's there for, to handle all conversation.
Furthermore, I think all artists will find that sticking to this will foster some sort of inner creativity and drive for experimentation with other methods of composing and instrumentation. For Lazerscale I personally found myself experimenting with all sorts of musical styles ranging from noise to improvisational jazz to chillwave to breakcore. Hell, for a few of the songs I built entirely new musical devices of my own design. There's so much to explore and creative expression will strike as time passes working on this. The pressure to create at a constant rate will push you to new realms. I can't wait to see how everyone flourishes during this project.
