See What Sticks

Happy end-of-Q1, everybody! We're ¼ through 2022, and an entire row on the Weeklybeats calendar is now complete.
I focused on sound design this week, making lots of alternate sections to try various things―then throwing them all against the wall. The parts that stuck ended forming this transition from a growly ambient slowdance into... something a lot more peppy and cheerful (Europop?). I've never made anything like it before, but that's one of the charms of WB.
As usual for the last two months, the track was 100% made and mixed on a Dirtywave M8 Tracker. Most of the drum hits are samples; everything else was built from scratch using the built-in synths. Each week I find more uses for the M8 sequencer's tables: this time it was building up complex multi-effects that morph over a long schedule.
