Is it getting hard yet? Is it getting easier?!

So, as per tradition, let's reflect on our fourth week of our weekly "beat off". 0_o

I'll start:
Personally, I'm feeling pretty damn good about this last song! Seems to have gotten some good feedback and best of all, I just spent this weekend at the Ohayocon anime convention which has 2 massive raves. I got sooooo many ideas now just from listening to those DJ's do their thang!

Also, I think that I'm finally getting to the point where I'm "discovering myself" electronically. (I'm discovering myself during my weekly beat off?) I'm actually excited about starting a musical routine rather than worrying about falling into one!

How 'bout you?

...and done!

Hmm.... I need some more UK Hardcore music so, I'm gonna try some of that.

I suppose it's much like any community, the more input the more output? Heh.

Haha, this.

Whew! It gets a little harder every week to come out with something that's not only complete but, has a feeling of originality! What sucks is getting past wednesday/thursday and realizing that the masterpiece you've been working on is nowhere near as good as you thought it'd be when you first heard it in your head on Monday!

Up'd. 

Metal on metal.

If we start allowing Metal on Metal in our country, what's next? Dog on Metal?

Whew, OK. Update. Found the song I was working on and brought 'er to an appropriate close.

So going to be a couple of low quality weeks for me I think.

cTrix's low quality is most people's magnum opus.

OMG. I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO START MINE UNTIL JUST NOW.

At least this competition has gotten me back into writing. Also, I want to apologize in advance as I am going to be sticking to 4x4 minimal techno for a while.

Four on the floor is where it's at, bro. No apology necessary, lol!

As a follow up to the thread "Week 01: How did we fare?" I announce the WEEK TWO VERSION!!! How many of us didn't submit for week two, eh? heart

So, is the challenge already getting harder or are you rocking out with no end in sight?!

I'll go first.
Posted my song up two days before the due date and you know what? As long as Wheely keeps posting his very thoughtful comments, I really couldn't care less how I do, haha!

(Thanks for the kind words and CC, Wheely.)

I lied. I already put out my song with diminished chords, so... instead a happy hardcore shuffle!

I'd like to be able to do a full multi-hour club set! Lame, I know, but I'm one of those guys who enjoys straight uncehouse, lol.

Surprise diminished 7ths.

Four positive comments... I'd say I did alright. Although, I did release the song elsewhere a day or two early so.... NOT THIS TIME!!!
