This is super other worldly!!! Very cool, man! And it absolutely does not sound like your first attempt at something more ambient! Really well done!

Thank you! 😁

I really appreciate that!

Haha Weekly Beats is helping me make styles of music I've always wanted to dip my toes in but never tried.

Looking forward to hearing your submission this week!

I remember the struggles in 2024 when I tried to submit on vacation. Those online wav->mp3 transcoders are quite a trap, aren't they?

I have tried the usb-storage mode with my iphone successfully in the meantime and I can get the wav transcoded to mpeg4 audio M4A (whatever that is), using Shortcuts. Still have to try if WB would be happy with that.

The track sounds pretty epic and full. Mysteriously awesome.

Wow! What a story! Well done for being so crafty and getting it posted!

Nice job switching it up with genres! I really like that wailing lead in the back, it's super smooth and ties everything together. Sounds like it was quite the ordeal to get it uploaded, but glad it worked out in the end!

Love the crunchy soundscape. As a iPad only kind of person those struggles sound super familiar to me lmao. Glad you made it!

This thing is massive and beautiful.

Nice one, I really love the feeling of slowly build of tension throughout the piece. Great job taking a stab at ambient, sounds like you're already very proficient at it!
My favorite moment is at 1:52, where it's like the sun's first rays are passing over the horizon. Beautiful stuff. The whistles feel both very welcoming but also slightly alien.
Hope you'll make a couple more ambient pieces this year!
