2014 was just me figuring out how to write music, wasn't even sure I would make it through the entire year.
2015 I didn't write anything, but I've been practicing instruments a bunch, hopefully this will make it easier to pump stuff out
2016 I want to try singing on all the songs. It's the one instrument I have that I've been neglecting. It's going to be terrible but w/e

I'm also looking forward to this. I made this website to fill the gap in 2015 https://streak.club/s/16/weekly-music but attendance wasn't nearly the same.

Topic: Streak Club (2 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I was really inspired by weekly beats this past year that I wanted apply the same kind of streak idea to drawing in 2015. Being a web developer I decided to build a website to let anyone host events like this. It's conceptually very similar to weekly beats, there are deadlines, and start and stop dates. Each week (or day) you have to submit something and you get a little box on the site filled in. You can comment on other people's submissions as well.
You can find it here: http://streak.club
Here's the drawing streak I've been doing in January with a few people I invited: http://streak.club/s/1/daily-art-warmup, and here's a 365 day one: http://streak.club/s/8/daily-art-2015 that starts in a few days.
I would love for any feedback, or to have some of the people here try using it. It looks like someone already created a weekly music streak here: http://streak.club/s/16/weekly-music
I currently don't have an on-site music player, so you'd have to download or link soundcloud, but I'll probably have something pretty soon.
Thanks!!

Phew, finally over. I got 51 out of 52 and I feel like an idiot. Missed the third week because I had a cold and I wasn't sure at the time if I could 100%. Should have just gotten out of bed and wrote a stupid song.
I'm really glad I participated though. I don't know if the music I'm making is better, but I know I've gotten better at making it. I can crank out 2 minutes of music a lot faster than I was doing the first few weeks. I also bought a lot more midi modules over the year and started learning violin, so it definitely kept my interest in music alive.
Thanks to everyone who listened to my trash.

Hello, I used a new tracker this week and stupidly didn't check to see if I knew how to record to wav minutes before the deadline and I missed it trying to figure it out. I've got it down now, could I get a link for late submission?
Thanks!

Hello, I just uploaded and submitted a song but I guess I clicked the submit button seconds after the deadline because I don't see it anywhere. Is it possible to get an upload link? (Week 13)
Sorry for bumping the topic, did I miss my chance?
