Sorry to hear about the tough week, hope you're getting a chance to recover! This is a neat collage though - plenty of good material for future tracks if you find yourself coming back to it.

Ugh, brutal work weeks are the worst.  Sometimes just making some noise can be cathartic.  There's some fun chaos here and some really nice sounds popping out.  A strange brew of sonic mayhem.

And yet you still take us on a journey. Nice!

I feel you on the work thing, sorry to hear.  Been having a lot of those kind of weeks lately too.

This is still an awesome track though, love how much stylistic ground it covers.  Serenity to insanity.  You know what they say, right?

Week 5 is out to get us all. Hope Week 6 treats you better! I liked the frenetic tonal adjustment in this track as it leaves the intro and starts going to wild places. I personally liked the overall vibe of this track quite a bit. Beautiful outro as well.

The opening piano notes had me tapping in time immediately and prepared for the adventure to begin... *jawdrop* on those beats   Goodness i love the frenetic feel of those deep drums.  No clue how you do beats like that week in and week out.  I always appreciate your vignette trips cuz I can def relate to that scattered mind feeling.  The ending gave it a sort of prelude to a giant epic album starting (if dat makes sense)   Hope next week feels better for ya!

I. LOVE. THIS.  Such a wonderful industrial journey.  Like this track is one of the better arguments I have heard for sound design as a means of musical development.  The transitions between the main theme "A section" and the like industrial fever dream "B section" are so perfect. The B section definitely set off a Rob Zombie animated music video in my head! GREAT TRACK.

So many interesting textures and mech sounds, good job!

Now I am wondering what kind of work you were doing. I feel anger in your track but also nostalgic elements coming up. A good balance between the extremes. I like it, because it is multidirectional. Have a better week.

Oh, sounds rough. Glad you still made this! Love the growly trumpet! I don't hear any off-scale notes on the piano, but maybe I'm just used to dissonance ;D

To be honest this is a great track because it has so much emotion, even tho you could say it's rather negative.

Ahhh such beautiful dirty dusty ending - reminds me of a fantastic album I was obsessed with some time last year, called An Empty Bliss Beyond This World  by The Caretaker. I dream of making something so nostalgic and eerie someday.

The muted brass was unexpected and really cool in this. I also really love the part around 1:50 where the chaos breaks and there's this really interesting little atmosphere left sitting there. Hope you get some relief from work next week!

damn - very industrial sounding in places, some really crazy sound design work overall

I'm very into chimeric tunes that are constantly shifting direction so this one hits right for me!

Fuuuck. That first transition section at 0:45 is brutal, love it. I'd love to hear more like that. Has some Amon Tobin at his heaviest vibes.

The rest is super cool too. Glad you managed it!

Where are your sounds coming from? Foley and resampling?

Thank you! Good idea! I might come back later to this track and find that I don't dislike it as much as I thought and remix it into a reggae love song about looking for my martini at the pool side.

Yes brutal work weeks are not great and i don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Could be worse, could be better, but music is a therapy.

Thank you for your nice comment!

Serenity to Insanity! The pendulum is moving very fast.

Thank you for your kind comment! I have revisited the reverbed out mute trumpet in Week 6, I like that melancholic sound.

Thank you for your very kind comment. I always kind feel guilty with the beats as they are often me using loops that I collage together, and some Damage beats. I wish I could create that kind of beats from scratch, but I feel like I'm doing more a curation work than anything else.

Thank you for your kind comment. I am happy that you enjoyed this track, even if to me it sounds like me rolling on the floor and growling like a wolverine.

Thank you veru much!

Oh, i should not complain as my work is not too difficult, it's just juggling with a lot of things at the same time and long hours, which just drain me. But nothing compared to the important work that you do (I think you were working with ambulances/hospitals?). I really have it easy when I think of all the hard work that people do and that really contribute to society.

Thank you very much, that is very nice! Dusty ending indeed. I use some vinyl sounds - i just love that warm sound.

Thank you very much! I had never really used a muted trumpet until now but kinda like it actually.

Haha chimeric indeed! Like the wolverine and a duck into one animal that has a terrible hangover.

It depends on the sounds - it's a mix of lots of foleys, samples, weird synth, Damage drums. When i get stuck on a track, i tend to start dropping random stuff from my library, which has the most random stuff, from the sound of electric explosions, doors opening, people punching each other, sheeps, footsteps, bullwhips, etc. Basically everything you never need to make music.

Sorry for the tough week, this certainly does express the feeling of being pulled apart, I think we can all relate sometimes our mind feels like this track.

I'm getting the scattered, chaotic mind sense here. Hope the following week was better! I liked the intro and almost literally moved out of my chair at that first transition! Going hard. I dig that piano melody too. Nice to have some "off" notes (not that I can really tell. I'm so used to playing on the Push in scale mode with no "wrong" notes, nice to go outside the scale!

I'm a little late, but I got here
glad I made it here, this song is great, not despite the weird stuff, but because of it
