hello everyone! I just wanted to drop this new album that includes a couple of tracks that were part of january weeklybeats plus other songs that I created at the same time, so I was making about two songs a week in january!
this album is full of polyrhythms and outboard effects on my drum machine giving a big depth of sound, and the melodies are very influenced by 20th century composer Olivier Messiaen, check it out!

Is weekly beats back again??
Fwiw, I found RPM and will focus on that for the immediate future (in February). Might be looking for similar after.
do they still do CD through mail? I did it back in 2008 lol
if you look at my tracks it'll say 50 uploads i think but i actually made more tracks this year than weeks. i just forgot to hit submit on my upload twice this year lol. sigh. I worked on multiple albums on projects outside of weekly beats, so i definitely felt productive this year. i'd say as far as my weeklybeats uploads i feel good about 2/3 of them tops, but hey, you never know which ones you will go back to and like or dislike after a few weeks/months/etc have passed.
I would've made it 41, but even though I had uploaded my track already last night, I forgot to hit the submit button or maybe it just didn't go through somehow. I suspect I was so tired I zoned out and didn't hit the button.
You have my permission if you ever want to Livestream anything
i find the discord format confusing but i'll try, it just seems like a bunch of random posts with no topics like a bbs does.
I want a zoom f8n pro sooooo bad:) they're kinda pricey though.
What draws me to zoom is the floating 32bit processor which is supposedly useful especially for quieter delicate sounds, must have good preamps too. Hopefully i can get that within a year or two, field recordings seem more interesting than ever. And i would use it for band improv recordings with different lineups if I get back into the improv music scene.
just upload at low res, and remaster the track later so when it is finished the larger public will not only here it in high res but with a better mix and master hopefully. or you could put some kind of beep sound going through it so it's more of a preview and not usable. if you want it to be a mystery then don't debut it here.
I think that given the file size limit of 16mb per track, is it really such a bad thing to allow downloads even if you DO release an album? I can't imagine why anyone would release an album of 128kbit (or anything below 320kbit) mp3s these days when you can do lossless. There is a clear incentive therefor to obtain the album - which is curated, selected tracks rather than a weekly track - via whatever the distribution channel is rather than download an inferior quality copy here.
i can be at 320kbps if under around 6:40m

I been using random scales for years in electronic music. And others have been using Max patches for years that are generative. AI has already been around a while in music. And if you can't use AI in electronic music, where is it ok to use it? I'd be curious to hear what people make with it. Maybe put an asterisks by their names 
Been hearing about the WB over on dirtywave's discord and getting the patreon update from Trash80 pushed me to register and get ready for 2024!
Looking forward to the challenge!
it's always a lot of fun! a whole year off is also a good thing hahahaha. get ready!
I hope I can keep up with this. This'll help me get out of a perfectionist mindset
that's a very good thing!
We are so back
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!
