So I take the Gameboy and write arpeggios on all 4 channels, run that through a delay, a reverb and a wah to make an ethereal pad, while a drum machine makes the unn tss and I strum an acoustic guitar while singing lyrics as the voice in your head.

I might have to hold off on that one until next week actually...

Well, the same 4 forum posts are still the only ones being posted in, so I was making sure I thought I'd do something completely unnecessary

What's new with Weekly Beats?  I was absent for a few weeks but now I'm back?  Maybe?

Rather than a style theme, would anyone be up for a "mod/xm/it" theme? Something some of us might not use too often?

That's probably a much better theme. Maybe expand it to "uncomfortable format, uncomfortable genre"?
We do a genre we don't normally do in a program/format we aren't quite used to/are familiar with.


The purpose of the theme is to help people out of their creative slumps.  Technical "Challenges" like what you're suggesting do very little to help that cause in my experience.

Perhaps we should begin including challenges with the themes for bonus points, but I would still like for the theme suggestions to be actual themes.

"Uncomfortable" could be a good theme.  "Uncomfortable Program" could be a good challenge.
