Hi all,

I'm back. My last song was in Week 12. Then my family asked that i would spend less time in my cave.

Then in July i got laid off from my work. I spent five weeks with my kid for summer holiday and then i had more time than ever and... zero new songs. Now after + three months without day job i'm finally working on new Weekly Beats track. I'm gonna try to do new for rest of the year. This weeks track sound pretty good for me. Still in downtempo feelings.

I also got some good weekly beats related news. I sold one of my 2014 instruments hip hop beats for band who recorded rap/vocals for it and it was released on big indie label on summer. It has gotten some radio play that i might even see some royalties smile I also licensed another 2014 weekly beats track for some Facebook live quiz thing. I get 200€/month as long as they use it.

Great think in my Weekly Beats is that i do mostly genre free music. Just something that i feel at the moment so it will not outdate easily.

I had to write this post to get some pressure for actually doing something. It's too easy to think "Well, i start NEXT week."

Cheers

I like the time restriction. I might go to studio 4 hours before deadline and write a track from scratch.

I can't believe it's already week 10. Ten new tracks made this year! That more than in whole last year.

2014 i used some older materials as base for weekly beats, but this year every track is made from beginning during the week.

My current process:
Get into the studio few hours before the DL and try come up with something. Also use new tool every week.

I think next step for me is to bring other musicians in at least once in a month.

It would also be fun to try to collaborate with some other WB members.

Weekly Beats means half-dead Mondays for me big_smile
Deadline is 2am sunday night and i usually upload the track few minutes before. Then it takes hour or so to unwind from the rush. And have to listen at least some tracks from WB.

2014 i managed to do 23 weeks. My 24th track was bootleg mix of my friends track and it got banned here sad
"Copyright reasons" didn't prevent me to upload Van Halen cover with samples from the track in previous week tongue

Weekly Beats is for me genre free. Everything is made with computer so it's mostly some kind of electronic music.
First track i'm (still) working on for WB is called: The Drink I Would Not Drink To Get Drunk. (Lemmy influenced post-futuristic-R'n'B)
