Fifty Two in Twenty Four

Hi everyone! Merry 2024 to you! Excited to hear you tunes and see what's up with you all.
I have been looking forward to Weekly Beats because WB years are the only ones I finish and share a bunch of songs.
Last year and this week was like this:
Most of 2023 - Gosh, I want to finish some music, can't wait for WB, I like those deadlines and the community support. It'll be great. Super smooth and easy. I can't even remember 2022 now.
This Monday: Happy new year! WB is happening. The time is now. Ok, well I suppose I should think about a song.
This Wednesday: Ok, wow, this is really happening. A real deadline in a few days. Ok, I'll start something, right after I do something else.
This Friday: Oh no! I don't like what I started. (mild panic). Well, I'll start something new, I have a couple days, let's go!
Today: And ... done. It is what it is, yay. I remember what this is like. Feels good to finish and share a track. Glad to be back.
This track is made from some recordings I made a while back with some hardware. Some organelle, voices, drumbrute, and FX from the MOD Dwarf, which I have since sold. Played some live drums on it just for funsies. Recorded some vox but only kept the mantra for the year: 52 in 24!.
This was one of those weeks when I had something else in mind - but made the (probably) right call to drop it and move on when it was no longer inspiring. I am often tempted to finish an idea no matter what, but it feels good to move on sometimes too. I haven't made a track like this one since maybe last WB, or even longer - WB brings out my fun and weird!
