Zweitverwertung

By halfbyte on April 21, 2024 8:54 pm

The title means "secondary utilization" and is part of the bigger compound word Zweitverwertungsrechte which translates to secondary publication rights and I found this fitting because this reuses the main sample from last week's song. This was a bit of a close shave as I was only able to start on friday and I was lucky in that my SO was unlucky and caught a cold so I basically have an unplanned free weekend.

Nevertheless tonight feels like I need to submit this, as working on this was a bit annoying. Dub tech stabs are usually a bitch to mix, with the filter sweeps and all, but this one didn't want to gel at all and I still don't think it is particularly well mixed but I tried.

Last week I was pondering how this year feels different in that I don't feel particularly burned out (In both 2014 and 2018 I stopped submitting somewhere around this time of the year with a couple of unsuccessful reboots over the rest of the year) but this week felt a little bit more like, you know, work. Maybe I'll need to pause next week or do a little quick sketch or something so that I can relax a bit.

In any case, 15 Songs per Year is my current record and I just beat that with just one missing (in week two where I was seriously sick), so I should feel pretty good about this.

Let's see.

I enjoyed the sound design and the mix of this track a lot. It’s clear and has space and got me head booping in the morning while taking a walk.

Best of luck to continue working and beating your record of tracks in a year!

That's high praise, thank you, much appreciated! heart

I'm going to upload my 16th song now. Week wasn't great either but I had fun with the arrangement and mastering today, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
