Thanks, everyone. I appreciate all the support. I got more than I gave this year, and I needed it to get through some tough times. True to form, another last minute quickie to close out the year. Have a great 2025! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics If I had one chance to do it all over I'd do it over again with you After the two times I had you in my life I'd do it all over the next time too If I change anything It might change everything If I change anything It might change you If I change anything It might change everything It might change everything And you might be gone too soon 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - ViridianLoom - Returning to the Stars

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:58:55 GMT

I dipped out back towards the beginning of Q4 (Week 40). I realized today that it was the final week, so I scrounged together a song in the last 4 hours so I can jump back in at the last second, haha. This tune is alright, kind of a nice vibe but admittedly has too many guitar solos to drag it out longer. I need to think of some more creative ways to add substance to a song. Congrats everyone for completing 2024! I know its stressful (or else I wouldn't have dipped out) but it's incredibly rewarding to reflect back on the songs you've written and everything you've learned. I had a few friends participate this year and it's been really cool to see how they've all grown. It was also really cool to do some collabs this year and see a bunch of people collabing. And although it tapered off earlier in the year, it was cool to see some faces in WeeklyMeets. All of you are awesome and I appreciate you greatly. I genuinely wouldn't have gotten to where I am (musically) without ya'lls support. By the way, last time I'll be shilling my own shit, but I did end up completing my album titled "Immerens" under Venaht. Some of you who have frequented my song descriptions this year might know it as "The purple album" haha. I'm currently working on the "Gold" album, as well as a VGM album. You can find all my links here (It's on streaming services) https://linktr.ee/venaht, but I'll also post a youtube video of the full album if you're interested. Anywho, I feel like a huge weight is off my shoulders with that album. I really wanted to go for a dark dreamy atmospheric vibe inspired by a variety of things but primarily dark/etherealwave goth music and I think I did it. I tried promoting it and sending it out to some bloggers but, given that it's the holidays, who knows if it'll ever get covered. Oh well. I'm going to pursue another goal I've been wanting to do for a while for this upcoming year: Writing. As in, writing stories. I used to do it a lot when I was a teenager. So I'm going to work on a novel for 2025 but who knows if it'll get done during that time. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - laguna - See you in the next galaxy

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:58:22 GMT

After a whole year that has been quite rough, personally and professionaly, Weekly Beats has come to an end. I haven't been very present within the community, and I've missed many streaks of fantastic songs, though you can't imagine how important is the challenge and the motivation every week. No matter how dark things could become, I did my best to not miss my appointment I think my final work of the year wanted to be Berlin School but I ended with some sort of cosmic reggaeton... Whatever. It makes me kinda happy I'm going to miss you, my global family of complete strangers. Would love to hear back from you during 2025. There's so much music and so much talent... it's amazing. Lots and lots of love to everyone of you, wherever you are. Have the best 2025 you could get... And don't miss our appointment in 2026 !!! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Last one, did it, not proud of it but done. I got so much out of this challenge but I really don't see myself trying again, but maybe a year away will make me thing differently about it. I did get better as a writer and really got some special songs out of this which I will be expanding on through the year! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Wow! A whole year has gone past! This is my last submission and it is a song from the record I'm releasing next year. This version is nearly finished as I feel I've got a few things to iron out in the mix but I feel like it's already sounding good enough. The song was mixed in dolby atmos and rendered in binaural for this WB submission so please, make sure you hear it in headphones to get the full experience. It was a pleasure to share my music with everyone here and having the oportunity to listen to all of your amazing creations was unbelievable. It was as honor to be part of the WB24 community and getting to know some of you. Be good to one another and hope to hear more from you all in the future.

Week 52 - ChillBitz - Over and Out

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:53:26 GMT

A hectic week visiting my family for the holidays spared me little time to work on this week's track - luckily I had the idea for this track weeks prior and it materialized in the span of 4 hours spread out over this weekend. It's difficult to put into words how strange it feels for a song you've had in your head come out nearly exactly how you imagined it in your head; normally those occurrences are very rare. The idea behind this track is that I wanted to sample the very first song I made for Weeklybeats this year, Voltage Highway, to come full circle on the growth I've made and material I've produced this year. Along the way in this track, I sprinkled in reversed and reverbed samples of some of my favorite tracks I've made this year, which represents me looking back on the past year. A strange sea of memories. I'm so happy I accepted the Weeklybeats challenge. It has tightened up my workflow tenfold, as well as teaching me the good of deadlines in certain cases. It was certainly tough some weeks, but I'm proud of myself for sticking through to the end. Thanks to everyone who has listened to my tunes this year, thanks to everyone who has commented, and shoutouts to all the chill people in the Weeklybeats Discord server. Peace and Love. Here's to a great 2025. - ChillBitz 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - miraclemiles - lucky ones

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:53:09 GMT

We did it! Final week ... kind of can't believe it. I feel grateful, lucky and fortunate to be able to make music and share here in this community. Each year is inspiring and humbling. What a journey. I'm a lucky one, and I think we are all lucky ones to be here together in a such positive place to share our creations. THANK YOU EVERYONE! Your music and comments mean so much. Being here with you all is so inspiring and meaningful. I will miss this in 2025, but a break to reset will be nice. For this last song I decided to do another jam with my son playing sax. He's on vacation from school, so it wasn't quite as hard to get him to come hang in the studio. He even gave some creative direction. The beat and some arrangement and sound choices were from his feedback. Collaborating with him this last quarter of the year was a highlight I am also very grateful for, so seemed good to close with that. This one had its challenges, some things just didn't want to come together. I put some mental pressure because it was the last week, but I had to remember, it's another weekly song, not going to be perfect,and the FINAL one of the year. I got to jam with my son who gave me creative input. Beaming with pride and happiness here, and that got me to the finish line. So now the goal is to collaborate with my son to do a tighter improved version of this for our EP we release (I hope) I plan to keep creating and sharing in 2025, you can find me at the links in my bio. I hope to find you all out there too, and hope to see you back here in 2026! Happy new year and best wishes to you all! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - scy - Fade Out

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:52:47 GMT

My final track for WeeklyBeats 2024, the first year I took part (and probably not the last), is a slow, synth-heavy conclusion. What a ride. I've learned a lot about making music, which was something I had procrastinated for a long time. And, even more importantly, I've practiced. Not every track was good, and many, if not all of them, would have benefited from taking more time to finish them. But the deadlines made me submit something instead of postponing it indefinitely. Also, I didn't have time to join the community aspect of WeeklyBeats. That's something I'd definitely like to also improve in 2026. Have a great 2025 everyone, and keep on making awesome music. No, you know what … it doesn't have to be awesome. It's okay if it's just nice, and just for you. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:45:29 GMT

Originally had the (horribly late) idea of doing a beatbox medley of some of the tracks I’ve made over this year but didn’t have time to really practice it so again dipped into the ol’ WIP well crunching out the last section within the last hour of submission, funtimes. Somewhat done in the style of Motoi Sakurabas’ Mega Drive/Genesis works. Patches used were ripped from Zan: Yasha Enbukyoku, PSG percussion had to be recreated by ear.

Week 52 - Princent Vice - Release

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 23:27:50 GMT

I had all sorts of plans for week 52, but my MS had other plans. I’ve barely managed to push out these last 4x weeks as a result, but I did it. I sobbed my way through writing this, but I did it. 52 weeks, 52 tracks. Now I rest while I try to figure out my new normal. This is all OPXY, mastered in Logic as usual. In the end across these 52 weeks I only managed a single song with all the pieces of the puzzle in place. January I’ll hopefully get everything humming and compile these 52 tracks into my first album. Find me on discord if you’re interested in keeping up. I also (very) occasionally post on YouTube and Instagram. This year I’ve released more (and better) music than my entire music career combined. Quantity over quality all day every day. To those I know are listening; I didn’t do this for you, but you made it worth every hour spent troubleshooting the OPZ or trashing everything I had on Sunday afternoon. I don’t know what I’ll do without that little dopamine rush of a new comment or just the general discourse of how others are getting through the year.

Week 52 - Jason Nijjer - past, present, and future

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:57:41 GMT

Like most people it has been a busy holiday week, almost didn't have anything to submit this week, but fortunately things fell into place yesterday and was able to put this last one together. Having lots of fun exploring the world of VCV rack, used it for two of the synth sections on this one. Goal for this coming year is to continue to learn more of it and find more unconventional ways to incorporate it. End of another season, hopefully not the finale, would love to be back in 2026! Another fulfilling and rewarding year of listening to great inspiring music. Thank you to the entire weekly beats community. 90% of all my tracks were started on Thursday morning, and then completed on Saturday and Sunday mornings, not sure what I will do now to fill that time. I'm so grateful to everyone who would stop by each week to give a listen and post a comment, everyone is busy so I appreciate you taking the time. Happy that I was able to complete all 52 weeks, this year I had the most fun making music, I will take a break but will definitely still keep creating something to keep that part of the mind active. Peace and love to weekly beats, everyone have a great year. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Everyone knows the ultimate power is obtained through the efforts of many. This is a collaboration between not just all of me, but also the amazing djippy, the wonderful Huabun, the mighty Jegasus, that one that_ranjit, the crazy good Kedbreak136 and the lovely Horatiu Romantic. I don't quite remember what parts are whose exactly, but vocals are definitely Horatiu, piano by Horatiu and Huabun, some nice fills and bass by that_ranjit, drums by djippy and Jegasus with a bit of mine, guitars by Kedbreak and myself. Little bits and bobs by various people. Birds by us. And a "Hi" from OrangeDrink. It counts. Many thanks to djippy for spearheading this. Many thanks from us all for listening. See you next time, presumably in your comments section as we catch up, but also in 2026. Happy new year. - DESLRV 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Well, I made it through. Super grateful and appreciative of all the kind comments, even though I got a bit quiet and distracted the last half of the year or so. Congrats to everyone who finished off the year or even just participated. So much great music posted in 2024. Very inspiring. Time to take a couple weeks off recording to reflect on what I've done the past year musically, and figure out what to do with 2025. See you in 2026 <3 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - Napear - Bluest Sky

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:47:27 GMT

Well, that's a wrap folks... we did it!!... too crazy... this year absolutely flew by. And, while I am VERY much looking forward to slowing down my musical output a touch, I medium amazed that I don't feel burnt out really at all. It was a ton of work to be sure... but man what an experience this has been. I'm gonna make a real effort to do the rounds and listen to as much as I can over the next couple weeks for sure. It has been a time... And so, I started this year with a wondering, vaguely narrative, reverby solo piano piece, and I felt like I needed the symmetry of ending the year with the same kind of thing. I feel like I have really learned a ton since January, about my tools, my processes, and music making in general, and I kind like having "before" and "after" pieces to juxtapose and really see how far I have come. Thanks so much for all the kind words, tips, advice, well wishes through out the year. I will for sure be checking in, and catching up on the many weeks of listening that I feel like I missed over the past few months. It has been a hell of ride... but again...

Week 52 - snoopy over the hills - KOALA

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:44:40 GMT

This one’s a bit rough. I made it entirely in the Koala Sampler app on my iPad. I’ve been searching for a simple way to sketch beats on the go, at work, or whenever inspiration hits. The plan was to export the stems to Ableton and refine everything on my computer. …That didn’t happen. 😅 Instead, I ended up with a screen recording from my iPhone. The audio quality isn’t great, but hey – not a year without a little glitch. First and last one for this year. Massive thanks to everyone who’s been part of this journey. I’m honestly so proud to have made it all the way to the end. Next week feels kind of scary – the emptiness after this. But I think I’ll just keep going and see where it takes me. I’ve got plans to officially release some of the tracks from this year, but that doesn’t mean I’ll stop making something new every week. To everyone who’s been riding along – WE MADE IT. Big up!!! See you all in 2026 for another round of weekly beats! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - Saguaro Gigante - Conclusion

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:36:54 GMT

Just a quick little speed nonsense track to finish out the year! This was more for the ceremony of finishing out the year with an upload instead of nothing! I made a lot more music this time around than last time. Was hoping for that nice 52 week completion but started falling off a bit the couple of months. But all that aside I feel that this year was really nice in that I probably made more music that I ever have. Granted a lot of stuff this year from the middle and on was less thought out and more spur of the moment fooling around, but I learned a lot and some of those experiments I thought had really nice results. Hope everybody had fun this year and learned more about writing and recording music! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:34:48 GMT

Another quick song. Not satisfied with it, but I do not care. I made it to the end! I learned so much this year! Thanks to everyone who participated, you kept my motivation high! I listened to every WB song published this year, what a treat, you brought me so much joy and wonder. Now is the time to make more music still, but without the weekly deadline. My plans are the following: - start bass again. I would like to learn Broken Cog by Meshuggah, it looks doable. - give Renoise a break, and experiment with the m8 tracker. It looks so cool but I did not get the time to use it this year, I felt like I could not afford the time to fumble (but maybe I should have?). - make at least one song with noises I recorded myself. And after that I don't know, which is fine. See you in 1 year maybe! 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Week 52 - thgirwnhoj - 52 Weekly Beats 2024 You Are More

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:30:13 GMT

And that's a wrap! Wow, what a journey this project turned out to be. It's hard to believe that this is actually the final week. I am ending with another wacky sample-based dance-style track in an odd time signature. I am happy I discovered this sound and I think I will stick with it, along with the ambient-loop style I found mid-way through the year. Weekly Beats has been a fun experiment and helped me learn a ton, but I'm looking forward to getting back to making music on a less rigid schedule in the new year. Thank you to everyone who gave one of my tracks a listen and left a comment. I truly appreciate it! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - Tone Matrix - We Can Find Peace

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:29:24 GMT

Before you do anything! For your listening pleasure we at da weeklybeats ask that you please visit https://weeklybeats.com/jwh to listen to his week 52 song, "Every Continuation". I contributed a bit of pianer, rhodes and a bit of the vocal cord. There are other contributions there but I don't want to spoil the surprise for those that haven't heard it yet :) I spent most of my productive week working on "Every Continuation" because apparently I was cocky enough to think "meyaaahh i'll just noodle something out when we're done".... Silly ginger. Since I was having trouble starting completely new and had most of the vocal hooks stuck in my tiny noggin. I decided to focus on one of my fav parts and create sort of an ambient homage to the original. I also went a bit outside of my comfort zone and recorded more vocals to go with the new chords I added. To hide from errrbody I used a phone effect for my voice. Ironically it was recorded via my iphone but I digest... This year has been absolutely friggin amazing as far as this website goes. Never-mind the outside world. The earth might melt or explode at some point but dang it has it been so therapeutic to be a member of this musical community. Sometimes my own anxiety gets the best of me but this website always finds a way to remind me things aren't so bad and that actually it can be pretty damn good! I apologize I haven't slept much in the past 48hrs. No complaints whatsoever. In fact I would have worked another day on this if I was allowed (shhh). Sometimes when I'm so inspired it feels like all I need is the sound. Not air. Not water. Music. (but mayhaps some sleep.) It's been so fun getting to know all the new people here.

Week 52 - ENumPv2.0 - The Tale of the Highspeed Snowflakes Delivery Service Crew and Their Adventure in the Land of Vanished Precipitation (3parts)

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 22:24:21 GMT

I had a bit of time left, so this may sound a bit raw or not very finished, tried to squeeze the most out of this week, too many ideas came up during creation, not everything turned out as I wanted, but I hope this is a good ending to my sound nonsense. Other blah-blah-blah: Another year is passing and turning into the past, another year I managed to hold out all 52 weeks, 2018 and 2020 were screwed up, but 2022 and this one are successful, 2:2, the score is even, yay. I started having health problems, it knocked me off track quite a bit in the first months, but I firmly decided to close all weeks, yes, it is not necessary, but why not set challenges for yourself? It adds some drive, of course, for this reason (and for the reason of my laziness) there were sometimes simple noise/ambient/etc. works, but I liked doing them too, and someone even liked listening to them, so I think that they also have a right to exist (and also so that I have material in which I can make ASCII art instead of a title, he-he) Thanks for all comments, feedback and words, I really appreciate it all, over the years I want to do something more massive, chaotic and strange and I'm glad that it can somehow still be liked, and that I can not clutter my folders with it, but also show it to the public This decade still sucks, but maybe we will someday see less crazy times, but for now we can say goodbye until 2026, I also plan to finish double album that I started in 2023 and a couple of projects, I don't know if it will be possible to implement all this, but I will try Happy New Year! May the next revolution around the Sun be better and more wonderful than this one. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

this track is basically a journal of a synthesizer i was making on the daisy pod all week. trying to get it working so I could make my weekly beat with it, recording as I went. Then stitching together into this track. distorted percussion sounds, digital whines, textures, vocals, weird crow caws, thats all my thing Drums are SQ80v and the cubase's built in drum machine. 52 weekly beats!

Basically paraphrasing the last WB i did. huh!! This was a rush job today between being Xmas Bird Count mascot & hosting monthly singing circle, based on an nugget from my routine (brief) 3 AM wakefulness this morning.

Week 52 - neon liminal - the dark we left behind (goodbye starry night cowboy - the pulsar suite five) featuring Barrister Plong

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:54:32 GMT

Week 52! We made it! Congratulations to everyone, whether you're posting this week or not, this was one hell of an adventure. This is the "coda" or "end credits" to The Pulsar Suite, featuring guitar from my brother, Barrister Plong, who was visiting from Montreal for the holidays and gracious enough to work on a track together with me this past holiday week. More notes on the track below, but first... I'm excited to announce the release of my first ever album, Autumn on Ganymede, available on Bandcamp. It's a cinematic-ambient lonely little journey among the moons of Jupiter and beyond, if you've enjoyed my more mellow music this year, I think you'll fall in love with this album like I have (I know, the ego on this guy...) I will always encourage supporting artists and musicians - and try to do so myself as often as possible - but if you're feeling short and want the album for yourself, or you'd like to gift it to someone that would enjoy it, please reach out via the website (that little email button under my name) or Instagram and I can send you a Bandcamp code. On that note - I'd love to stay in touch with all the wonderful musicians I've met here, so feel free to reach out via the website, and you can also find me... ... on Instagram @neonliminal and .... well @neonliminal on YouTube sorta. I'll be posting jams there in Jamuary with a little luck. A lesson learned from WB: I can't make a song AND a video every week, that superpower belongs to the great and powerful JWH whom I am honoured to have met and worked with during WB, what a wonderful journey this has been. On with the song! The final part of The Pulsar Suite, at least, it will be for now - more of a coda, an end-credits, once again a verby sound bed from the modular with some live-looping wavestate > morphagene > mimeophon, Lyra9, Subharmonicon, and naturally, the Pulsar-23 making a racket. Brought it into Ableton, chopped and edited, and then my brother recorded some ambient guitar, and later, some thrashing power chords and heavy stuff. Worked the rest, added some reznor-esque piano, way too much reverb, and made a big heavy wall of sound. The vocals are ROUGH, deliberately so to some degree - I'd imagined a full vocal track, but it felt too artificial with respect to the rest of the series, so the sung parts are pretty frail, and the spoken words at the end are effectively a narrative goodbye. I'll include the lyrics here, but please listen to the song first - the words are meant to be fleeting and broken, lost to the void of space. They're also a little throwback to previous tracks, bit of an easter egg I guess. › Lyrics and Dialogue‹ Lyrics and Dialogue so long starry night cowboy I'll miss you while I'm gone We danced our way through the edge of twilight But now I'm wandering home Goodbye starry night cowboy It's been a wild ride Our stars burn brighter when they're dying And we have nowhere left to hide Hey, I hope you can still hear me I know we've gone our separate ways but Take care of yourself out there Remember there's always someone out there Waiting to be found Or hoping to find you You can always find me in the dark between the stars I'll be glowing like neon too Goodbye my friend Stay safe. I think I've ran out of words. Thank you to everyone I've met here, to everyone who've worked so hard to create all this wonderful music I've had the privilege of hearing this year, and to everyone that's listened to my little musical journey here too. The community on WB is amazing - you're all amazing. Have a great new year, take care of yourself, and keep making magic. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - mzunguko - THE_END

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:46:12 GMT

It has been quite turn of the wheel. We made it! I am so thankful for all who have stopped by this little corner of the internet and listened to my tracks. Its somewhat ironic that I started by unpacking my gear in a new space, that quickly grew into a disorganized mess, followed by a trip to the emergency room that kept me situated in a chair in the living room. I got to get really familiar with some old gear as well as some new pieces. I finally got things somewhat organized with a new Jasper's rack over this break, just in time for the last week, and am really looking forward to this year (perhaps actually release an EP). I went back in the box for the last track after getting the studio re-organized. I brought out the Virus and the Sequential Pro-3 to do the heavy lifting on the sound design but did all the mixing and arranging in Ableton. One thing I do find is that after having spent the better part of the year using the Digitakt II as my "DAW" is that I use far less plugins in my mix and spend way more time adjusting levels and in sound design in general. Thanks again for all your support, will be listening back over this year in 2025 (catching up on some listening for sure) and hope to see you all back in 2026, rested well enough to take another run, until then ... Wishing you all the greatest of happiness and health. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - lament.config - They Mostly Drone at Night...Mostly

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:41:22 GMT

I'm finding this kind of difficult to be honest, that when I hit the submit button it's over. I want to say thank you to you all. WBs has been one of, if not the best part of this year and that is in no small part thanks to the people I've met doing this. I'd never written music before I started on week 1 and now, 1 year and 52 tracks later, I cannot imagine a possible future where I am not making music. Hell, I'm not even thinking about taking a break but rolling into next year with plans of learning music theory, field recording and seeing what noises I can force out of an SH101 a friend has lent me. So thank you anyone who has listened, commented and offered feedback to the spooky noises made by some sad old goth on the other side of the planet. Truthfully, it means more than you could know. If your Bandcamp isn't in your bio please message me it - I don't have one yet but am in IG at lament.config. So yeah, I made a drone in Ableton. Surprised? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - circuit_breaks - OP-XY+ZOIA = mystree

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:40:25 GMT

It was a cold stormy night when she entered my office. I had been reading the latest news, but was not prepared for the bombshell that she was about to drop onto my desk. "I found your killer", she said with confidence. I put my cigarette down and picked up the photo. The photo was of a man, middle aged and clean shaven. I knew this man, for he was me. I wrote the bones of this song one night shortly after getting my op-xy, and it immediately gave me detective vibes. I spent some time this week fleshing it out, and added some delay and reverb using my new ZOIA fx pedal, which added some nice space to it. Yes, I could have just used the delay and reverb that the op-xy provides, but I wanted to test the zoia with something fairly simple, and to be honest, it sounds way better than what the op-xy provides, mostly because there are so many more configurable options. I'm extremely happy with this tune, and am glad to present it as the final song for this year's weeklybeats. I hope you enjoy! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - friendlyperiscope - hello again

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:27:59 GMT

one more time! alternative title: beginnings end. last song for the year, i made it? we made it! amazing for something started pretty much by accident on my part. ( jeremy of red means recording posted a link in his discord and i sort of jumped onto that. thanks so much for that!) i like this weeks piece, especially those chord-y quiet sections, which ended up being much of the song. the whole thing originated from a christmas song melody, but in the end only the key remained. (i think.) in a last dramatic twist, the op-xy is going back after all. i think i wanted both a sequencer and a sound design thing, both of which are possible on it, but i wanted more than a really fancy op-z? maybe the xy is more than that, but i won't find out this time, because it's going back and a digitone ii is taking its place. so digitone was the sequencing and sounds of this, except for the tiny interlude/thing at the end. i am quite happy with that and shall hopefully spend much of next year twiddling knobs, designing sounds and hopefully learn/try a bit more song structure. (and naming song parts, which is possible!!) thanks to everyone who commented and was around, that was really nice! and thanks for making the music, i've been enjoying a lot of your sounds and am looking forward to more of them. <3 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - Tomatron.Jones - The Last One

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:23:34 GMT

It's crazy to think I've been making a track almost every single week for this entire year. 48 or so total tracks (missed a few weeks during vacation). I've come a long way in my creative practice - I used to dread the process of trying to finish a track, getting stuck and never finishing anything. Now I'lll rip through a track in just a few hours and be totally content with it. It's a powerful skill to learn as a 'creator'. This track is from an idea I had started a few years ago of just the arp and bassline, originally recorded on the JUNO-06A - I fleshed it out fully - a full arrangement, added more layers, drums, tons of automation and production. I'm fairly happy with it for now. A few interesting things: 1) Automated the width of the arp - they go from narrow to wide over a few bars in the beginning 2) Lots of automation on the Wavetable attack and release 3) Automated the threshold of the arp's sidechain with the kick - giving more space as the arp gets more busy in the high-end. * JUNO-06A, Ableton Wavetable, Ableton Bass, Helm, Massive, 'CZ-Tronics' plugins for synths and bass * Drum samples from Splice + 'Vintage Drum Elements V2' plugin for drums * Some texture samples from Splice * Ample use of Transit, Valhalla * Gullfoss and Ozone Elements 10 for mastering Total time: 5 hours After this year, I have renewed confidence I can take any random idea and flesh it out into a full composition. And I'll plenty of new music releasing to streaming platforms. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - JerwuQu - [FLM] 5u2e

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:19:44 GMT

Finished this year off on the phone! Again threw the FLM export into a mastering preset just to boost levels. Lots of frustration and "good enough". Definitely not my best work. - - - But we finished 2024! Overall a bit... concerned? over how this year went. I definitely got better at some things in production, but looking back at songs from for example WB2020, I feel like I have lost a bit of creativity and often "went down the safe path" this year. I sometimes this year felt "ooo, I kinda wanna make a song" but then felt "but in that case I should make it for WeeklyBeats" and I ended up not making the idea at all instead. WB both got me motivated to make music, but got me unmotivated to work on songs I really want to work on because I don't have that much time. One of the songs I was most happy with this year was when I stepped back from WeeklyBeats and made a silly remix just for fun, something I knew I couldn't upload to WeeklyBeats regardless (no permission from the original author). It got me to realize that maybe there won't be a WB2026 for me. We will see... For 2025 I want to spend more time on songs and see where that can take me. I just hope I find the motivation to! - - - I hope everyone else had a great year! Thanks so much to everyone that left comments on my songs. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - ENC_ - W52 - Wading / Dumb / Delorean Acid (3 Song 2024 Send Off)

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:13:44 GMT

Very busy week. Worked on Delorean Overdrive set. Completed production work on a few songs for the band and extended to the set. A little over half way through the work. Want to finish as much as possible to leave room to practice in January. 2 Songs left. M out to Hawaii. D having issues with flooding due to heavy rain and baby sitters. Did not meet. AL finally had time off from contract. Been spending extra time together running errands and watching things. Grabbed bottle of wine, cheese, salame, and fruit. Had nice meal on xmas eve watched bad xmas movie with wife. Mind too busy to read. Visited family for xmas. Learned of some new cousin news. EL trip to college hospital and JM coming out now. Spent extra time talking with G for VTC to support. Focused on talking with aunts more this time. Discussed politics and played w/ AC's new camera. TC gave excersize advice. Talked with Uncle C and M about retirement. Very happy for them but C's health is a struggle. VTC seems happy and others notice. Did traditional gift hand outs for my passed away father. Had second xmas with Wife's family at later day. went to VL and R's new apartment and had nice Chinese food out of town. Nice new place but bad city design. Took AL's parents. They seemed happy and appreciated the driving. Exhausted from noise and people so spent a day watching movie trilogy. Flu and Covid vaccination knocked me out. AL took over NYC trip booking. Good to go on that front. Attended to some festival related coordination. Re-reading article on communication styles. bought tickets to see Justice and related studies. Set out to read more, focused on my health more, get married, and complete a full year of weekly beats. Ended up getting through 10 books (started 13), surpassed all of my exercise goals including breaking personal bests in cycle and dropping weight (254lbs to 214lbs including last years progress), Got married, and made more then the 52 songs. I am very happy with what I was able to do this year and thankful for the opportunities that came along the way (playing my yearly gig :P , seeing my family grow, mental health progress, etc.). I am not normally an optimistic person but looking back at the positive things and the goals I met makes me reconsider that mentality. Consumed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Back to the Future (1985), Back to the future II (1989), Back to the future III (1990), DS9 (extra with AL), Hot frosty (2024), Aphex Twin - Music from the Merch Desk (2016-2023), Information Society - Information Society, VA - Đại Hội New Wave Kỳ 2, VA - Đại Hội New Wave Kỳ 4, Lynda Trang Dai & Tommy Ngo - The Best Of Lynda & Tommy, Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense, Paranoid London - The Motion (club edit), The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs, Andre 3000 - New Blue Sun, Krafwerk - Techno Pop, Bruce Liu - Waves, Gear Used: [Dumb] Dirtywave M8 Tascam DR-40 [Delorean Acid] Cyclone TT-303 Gear Sampled: [Dumb] Kawai Rx100 Boss Dr-110 Korg Volca Beat Cyclone TT-303 Software Used: [Wading] Ableton Granulator III Ozone 10 Fors Romb [Dumb] Ableton Izotope Ozone 10 [Delorean Acid] Ableton Izotope Ozone 10 Audio Realism ABL3 Tal - U-no LX-62 Fors Modul ALM ALMicon Wanted to finish out WB2024 with a bit of a bang. I've made 3 songs this week. [Wading] Ambient track made while experimenting with some ripped EMU Emulator II samples. Ran through granulator III and reverb. I believe Granulator III now comes standard with Ableton so not sure if I need to catalog it anymore. The sample didn't fit in for it's original purpose so it was repurposed here. Works well with granular synthesis. Quite like the texture of the source but difficult to tune except to its self. Full track made with only one sample. [Dumb] Late night experiment with hyper synth on M8 turned into full track. Again playing with decoupled triggers to change notes mid decay. Probably a better execution of the concept compared to the one I made earlier in the year. Tried to have fun with it and not over think it. Put together over an hour and a half. Direct recording to stereo for convenience. Made on couch this morning and a bit the night before. [Delorean Acid] Made for Delorean Overdrive band. Expecting vocals and the drums to be played live. Just an excerpt for WB I am afraid. Excited to play the full song at the gig and see how it turns out. Been wanting to do a track inspired by Paranoid London and old school acid house. Probably one of my favorite things I went to this year was their show. Had a lot of fun with this one. Felt like I was on the right track when I found myself moving around while working on it like an old raver :P Hopefully it will get people moving. Special thanks to JWH, Cursory, Nullsleep, Dank Receptor, and 10k. Your music was inspiring for me this year and I always looked forward to hearing what you were making. Also thank you to everyone who shared kind comments. The all of the WB community has been great. Perhaps I will see you all in 2026 :) Final notes: January 24, 2005 my band Delorean Overdrive will be performing at Magfest. Feel free to check out the live stream around 4:10 pm EST. We will hopefully be preforming some of the half shared songs from this year's WB that I made in full. Also give me a ping on socials if you're going, maybe we can cross paths. Linktree in the bio. I am also working on a 2 releases based around stuff made for weekly beats this year (Tracks not just from 2024). Hopefully I get around to releasing it in 2025. Album cover was made earlier this year. Just need to work on going back to mix and master.

Week 52 - Tweaklab - The Beat Remains

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:02:12 GMT

And so concludes WeeklyBeats 2024, or, WeeklyBeats Round 7 for me! It's been a different kind of year, lots of healing, lots of growth, lots of stuff happening outside of WB and for that reason I didn't get to spend 1/4 the time I would usually on the majority of my beats. But, it was still a space to defrag some of my brain once a week. This week is a little more traditional Tweaklab/WeeklyBeats, signing off with some synthwave, 80s Amiga style stuff that managed to break the 3 minute mark for a change! The title was initially supposed to have some lyrics... the idea is that even after we're gone, all of our weeklybeats will remain for people to discover some day. I'll do my best to catch up on some beats from others, the whole year feels a bit of a dream. I was going back listening to a bunch of my own submissions from the year last night and frankly I couldn't remember making a bunch of them xD. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - onezero - Silver Strand

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:57:07 GMT

One whole year! Congratulations to everyone who's been able to do it! If anyone wants to keep going, I've created a 2025 streak at https://streak.club/s/1815/weekly-music-2025. This one once again uses the microtonal just-intonation Tele Deluxe. Slow, lots of space, and a bit tricky to form into a structure: some of these sections seemed a bit brief, like they'd need another repetition...but doing that at this slow tempo created the risk of those sections wearing out their welcome by the end of that repetition. I went with the shorter option. I'd tightened the truss rod a hair and fiddled with bridge pieces, and I think...it might just have a bit too little relief in the neck: you'll hear a bit of buzz in places. Easily corrected, but for the moment, it's baked into the recording. Still, I kind of like the resonance of these low notes, even if the high notes aren't quite as well defined as they were when there was more relief. All fingerpicked, as usual. No inline effects, just a bit of convolution reverb and multiband compression/eq on the stereo mix. This past week I listened to some older stuff outside of the "multiple tracks of one guitar" and like the variety--it might be time to return to some of that, though I think my composition and touch have benefited from the focus on one timbral profile and a smaller number of tracks.

Week 52 - horatiuromantic - Project 2025

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:41:37 GMT

Hi everyone! Here's my final piece for 2024, a premonition for 2025 that I hope will give you a good end/wrap-up of the last year and a good start for the new year! I'm proud of what I've accomplished this year in terms of music, and you weeklybeats friends are a massive part of it! So thank you from the depths of my heart! <3 <3 <3 And congrats to all of you who managed to finish the year with however many tracks! The YEAR 2024 In summary, this year I released an album, made lots of songs and played many concerts in Europe (well ok one concert in Romania, and like 6-20 in Denmark depending if you count the open mics as concerts), and made a lot of video recordings that I'll process over the next period and put up on various platforms, probably mainly youtube which I invite you to follow. The past few weeks I didn't do WB which is a shame but since August 2024 I played close to 20 concerts out of which ~13 were my own music, 8 were SOLO concerts out of which 4 were fully (!!!) improvised, and some of the others were also heavy with improvisation but also with my songwriting, played my album with a band, and uhhhh so many open mics and various jams! I feel like I really stepped up my music game this year (esp the last half) and will continue to work on improving and expanding my music practice with more collaborations, a funky band, more solo concerts both improvised and written (composed?) music, maybe both guitar and piano based .... !??! Of course a lot of synth stuff too, and singing/spoken stuff etc. Basically a lot going on and a lot of directions to explore, and maybe even with some luck get closer to making a modest living from music (wouldn't that be a dream!!!). Currently I'm at half a rent from a few months of playing concerts, which I feel is quite something!!! but of course it's nothing in the grand scheme so I def gotta crank that part of it up. The most exciting musical project of all for me is the improvised storytelling that is also hinted in this track. Altho when it's only solo, it has a different vibe, than when I can do it with a band, where I am free to explore the storytelling while the other musicians are providing support and reactions and helping to drive the story and the energy. I hope to develop this into a really unique thing that I can take around to some festivals at some point! Since you weeklybeaters are all over the world maybe it could be cool to travel around and play in different places and do like a tour where I also meet you physically to hang out and make music together! It would be so nice! Just have to find the excuse to come, via some kinda opportunity to play, festival gig or whatev... maybe it's just a dream. The YEAR 2025 My musical plan for 2025 is to write more and better songs, record some, play more with my band (and with other friends), maybe even play at some festivals, and generally learn about how I can get paid for my music (without too much compromise). Speaking of cashflow, I also just started a Patreon where I'll try to gather some of the people who are interested in keeping a closer eye on my creative process, and why not, give people a chance to support me in exchange for extra behind-the-scenes access. If you're interested in following it even for free I'd be very grateful! Let me know if you have experience with it or want anything in particular shared, and I'd be up for shaping it towards that. Also let me know if you have a creator account yourself, or rather prefer a different platform. I'm not in a position to support right now, but I am happy to follow... https://patreon.com/horatiuromantic About Project 2025 (the track) I made this track as a spiritual successor to all the Levi tracks from the beginning of the year, and with the improvised storytelling flair that I want to pursue further. I jammed a bit to find a groovy bassline, settled on some funky sounding electric piano chords to set a mood that I can play around with, and then went to town telling the story. Later, the other elements started happening, and I basically did the track minute by minute, or like section by section - the intro, then the next part, etc. doing it vertically so the sound is there all the way, rather than finishing each layer of instrumental before the next. I recorded it with my trusty SM58 thru my audio interface (Volt 476) in Romania, where I'm currently celebrating the holidays with my family. I used LA2A compressor on the voice, and a send for TAL reverb 4, UAD brigade chorus and UAD galaxy tape echo. I used my fav electric piano from UAD with the built-in effects - leslie speaker, chorus, delay. I used UAD minimoog plugin for the bassline and the screaming synth. The midi controller I have has a pretty decent pitch bend mod wheel so I had fun with that. it's the Fatar Studiologic VMK88 old midi keyboard - so good! great heavy action, lots of knobs. Oh yea bass goes thru a UAD fairchild 660 for extra grit, but not sure it's needed after I tweaked the bass filter to leave more high end after listening on laptop speakers. I used Levi the drummer (remember him?) plus "beat machine" Anton, also a drummer from logic that plays the ...beat machine. I added Fairchild 660 compressor to Levi to make his drums have more OOMPH. I used wack strings from Logic to add that extra layer of "thought" when the story gets to that point. Curious to hear what people will be reminded of - for me it is def a callback to headhunters herbie stuff altho I tried not to steal stuff but rather go with the sound I feel the need to hear. Final mixdown with some tape effect, some eq to boost the bass and high, and some compression to glue it all together. My "mastering" setup heheh. Oh yea! Surprise in the track is that my mom did actually interrupt while recording to go to lunch! I decided to keep that section because it fit the vibe of the track. THANKS TO YOU Thanks for reading and listening and thanks for all your WB contributions this year! Proud of this community and being part of it! Hope to hear many of you during next year, and of course back again in 2026! Can't believe it's been already a year!!!!!!!!!! Feels like we started yesterday! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - LeBernd - ERKAELTUNG

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:38:56 GMT

It's done. The finish line has been crossed. In the past couple weeks I kinda pictured myself making some kind of upbeat mega remix of all the pieces - or at least my favorites - from this year. But let's face it - christmas is a time to unwind and spend with family and friends, and I wasn't gonna sacrifice the necessary time. Additionally, I'm a little ill and trying to recover from a tenacious cold (hence the title, which is the german word for that). I took what I learned this year and tried to tap into my inner flow instead, trying to find the nerve that wanted to be struck. And I want to relax and sleep, so I went ambient. And I really like the result! So here I am, back where I started last year: in cold denmark, on the west coast, close to the beach of the north sea - yes, the north sea can be heard on this track! - cooped up with 9 friends, a ton of bord games and plenty of food and drink, feeling warm, safe, relaxed - and, once I'm done typing this, accomplished. Cheers and congrats to everyone who took this journey with me, and to everyone who commented on my tracks - thank you! Knowing you'd listen made it easier to keep going. Happy new year, everyone! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - perman00b - Intrusive Thoughts

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:25:35 GMT

The last few days of the year are usually a time of reflection and hope for the new year. No hope from me this time around, just dread. This track reflects that. There is reflection though. The past year has brought a willingness and permission to experiment and release things that are more and more outside my comfort zone. I discovered that the music I want to make, need to make, is very different from the music I typically listen to. The process of making has become its own, separate thing. And it’s been awesome. The three of you that sat through my week 50 will recognize some elements here. I felt they fit, so I either slightly modified them or kept them the same. Main drone: 0-coast sequenced by Pam’s Pro Workout. Percussion: Syntakt Recorded and mastered (to the extent of my limited skills) on Logic Pro for iPad. Speaking of Logic, it has become my go-to mixer and recorder, supplanting AUM. Thanks for sticking around. See you in a year. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Another one-day tune, but with love. What a year! I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like production skills, arrangement skills, all the things, have improved because of this challenge. Feeling extremely grateful. I managed 50 tracks I think. Thanks for listening <3 Its been a great ride! Organicy/ ambienty / 4/4y 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - mukti - FINO

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:19:44 GMT

I made it, uploaded all 52 weeks, I can't believe it! This really fun to be a part of, and definitely helped me figure out aspects of music creation, mixing, and mastering. Not sure how I'll feel over the coming weeks without a track that I have to work on, but I do look forward to revisiting a few tracks that I created for WB24. This week, I was using my my M8:01 as a midi controller to play with a few Arturia VSTs, and came up with a main hook that I really liked. I built a track around that using some vocal samples that I chopped up a bit. All the main synths and horn sounds are from the Arturia synths, but drums were created using DW01 Synthdrums, and the higher pitched sliding synth is a reworked version of mikey303's "bittersweet" instrument, included in the default packs on the M8. I really like how this track turned out, but it might be a touch too wordy... please provide any critical feedback! I think this would be classified as "deep house" but I'm terrible with genres - if you have a suggestion, let me know! The original name for this track was going to be PEZO (weight), GRAVITO (gravity), or SUBEN (down); but since this is the last week, I called it FINO, the Esperanto word for "END". The visual this week was generated with ffmpeg to generate and warp waveforms of stems and parts of the track, then modified in Shotcut. I was inspired to try and make a video synced to my song after watching OrangeDrink's video from last week. Not as impressive, but still kind of cool! Thanks to everyone who listened, commented on tracks, and gave me advice and assistance throughout 2024, its been fun! Full Video: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

WE DID IT!! 52 weeks worth of writing music is done and it feels good!! :D I wrote this one all on Sunday, and I kind of wish I had some more time to work on it but I'm happy with where it ended up. I think this track has got some really good potential. Thanks to @Karakhanzi for the lyric ideas. :) Enjoy my final track for the year: Come Alive Again Lyrics: A world that's turning A grave that's burning As ashes fall above The end is calling But there's no time to rest As you look up and then You come alive again 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I wrote and recorded this song today (Sunday) about my buddy who befriended a pigeon a long time ago. This tiny song is dedicated to my friend, G. I want to thank this wonderful community and all my WB friends that have left generous comments for me. Thank you. -Chad ----- I saw you last a few years ago Didn’t realize it’s the last time you’d show always something that keeps me down Everything’s lame since you left this town Everything’s lame since you left this town Maybe this song means nothing now Well… Sunday softly whispers your name Long shadows on snow forms a frame of a painting you made color embellishment He’s holding a bird in his apartment He’s holding a bird in his apartment Since then he’s departed Well… Little Maurice Seems like a dream Little Maurice Waiting on your windowsill Little Maurice Don’t let them get you down You gave a birds-eye view of everything A birds-eye view of everything Everything so goddamn beautiful 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Wow... entry number 52... I made it... :| This song is a perfect example of the ridiculousness of my cursed overthinking. I absolutely thought I would have this done much earlier in the year when I first had the basics sorted. But no, I am who I am so I kept pushing it back because it wasn't quite right and the ideas I was hearing my head sounded like more effort than I usually commit to my usual Sunday evening Weekly Beats entries. But here we are, the final week, although my procrastination is strong, sometimes my stubbornness wins out and I was determined to not end WB2024 without getting this one out of the way. I wouldn't say it's all that I hoped it could be, there are still a few bits that I feel picky about, but at least it's out of my head. I made a habit of dissing myself everyday, the pain never went away cause it was never the answer, never the answer I think it's high time I redefine the way of my mind Focusing on my positive characteristics, and be realistic Perfection is the perfect scam, all I am... ...is a work in progress, but I'm a better me than anyone If I keep my focus, my legacy could be a better one I'm a little broken, but I can make it if I carry on I'm a work in progress (progress), I gotta keep my focus Sick of giving up before I even give it a try, Justified with an end-a-less string of excuses It's me that-a loses I could turn my hurt into motivation I could use it against my procrastination It's taken me longer than I want to admit, but this is it, it is time to commit Perfection is the perfect scam, all I am... ...is a work in progress, but I'm a better me than anyone If I keep my focus, my legacy could be a better one I'm a little broken, but I can make it if I carry on I'm a work in progress (progress), I gotta keep my focus We're a work in progress, so come on let's do this! To wrap up WB2024, I would like to say a big thank you to those that commented on my tracks this year and apologise for my lack of interaction. I struggle with discussion around my music (crippling self-doubt, woohoo!), usually not knowing what to say, or I think I'll come back to it later but get sidetracked (yay, neurospicy (ASD/ADHD)) :/. Aaaanyhoo, just wanted to say that it is appreciated and sorry I suck at showing it :| b bro wrote: Bleeoop wrote: blighters_rock wrote: c-cube wrote: cistern stairs wrote: Cursory wrote: DataJanitor wrote: Devieus wrote: (Devieus, Ebrit, Leega, Raioh, Spider) djippy wrote: DonutShoes wrote: Drum Bender wrote: emily wrote: ENC_ wrote: fetalface wrote: george bowles wrote: ineff wrote: jegasus wrote: jwh wrote: levelcapybara wrote: moloko wrote: MRDRCAT wrote: myfirstpunksong wrote: Napear wrote: nedsferatu wrote: Nik Novo wrote: Nueli wrote: Nyarlos wrote: onezero wrote: orangedrink wrote: Paisleyfrog wrote: PantherMountain wrote: Pop Tronics wrote: prophisee wrote: RajaTheResidentAlien wrote: Simon Ngui wrote: SQF wrote: tweidner103 wrote: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - that_ranjit - Faraway

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 18:17:00 GMT

What a year it's been!!! I can't say enough about how much WeeklyBeats has evolved my practice and process. I've really surprised myself with some of the work I've been able to accomplish given the weekly deadlines. It's forced me to finish things and just let them go rather than fixate and try to make everything perfect. I've loved listening to people's songs, and the variety of music has been truly inspiring and the community is so wholesome. I'm really proud of this last track of the year, I think it's my favorite song I've ever made. I actually maxed out the phrases on the M8, which I've never done before and feels like a big achievement. I'm looking forward to the off-year, but am also going to miss the sense of urgency of weekly deadlines (I know I can put that on myself, but it's different when there's a whole community of people in the same boat). I'm hopeful about my musical journey, feels like I've come a long way since the days when I made chiptune music on LSDJ. I think I've always struggled with the type of music I want to make and what sort of genre or category it fits into, but this year has been a heavy process of trying to find my own creative musical spirit, and it feels like I'm finally finding my footing. It may be a phase, and my tastes will probably change and evolve and time goes on, but at least now I have a lot of tools under my belt to help me along the way. Thanks to everyone for uploading wonderful music, sharing your life experiences, and doing your part to make this hub feel like a genuine third place of creative oasis. I'm absolutely floored with a lot of the songs I've listened to, and I hope we can all still keep in touch in some way and continue to share things with each other.

This is it - the last track for this year. As last track I wanted to create something cheerful and something that sounds like the finale to this year's Weeklybeats. I had a great time creating all these different tracks (even though I only started on week 14, this was when I found out that Weeklybeats even exists :D ). Thanks for everyone that has been listening to my tracks and giving feedback, that was very much appreciated. Have a great 2025 everyone and I'll see you in 2026 (and next year to those that do the MonthlyBeats)! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Here, I made a little guitarjam and added my Wilcox-raw-cats recordlathe "endlos rille" track. finally my two weeklybeat egos meet and collaborate. some of you know, I tried to optimize the process of cutting a recordlathe this year, too. I especially want to thank the makers of this website, the administrators for their efforts and time keeping WB going. Thank you all, friendly listeners for supporting me making music.

Hi, I made it for the last submission of the year! Yay! Ending on a positive note. Here's a max patch that was setup to be very simple but allow maximal change(using many different modulation techniques... one simple one was to add a tapin/tapout (delay with feedback at short interval of around 10ms) to the phase-modulation path of my cycle~(sine-oscillator)... the pitch choices were also, at first, arbitrary, but then focused to feel more and more 'creepy'(i like to create creepy-feeling music when i'm trying to get out of a depression, it fills me with fight, and makes me want to creep up on people instead of run away from them :mad:)). I like that i was able to create this much in about 2-3 hours total. Here's the max patch(instructions included). Thanks for being here with me <3 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 17:31:23 GMT

I welcome all critical feedback. Ending where I began. As I'm contemplating this long journey, it felt right to end on a laidback kosmische track, almost ambient, almost a drone. At least it started as something close to a drone. This week's track also stands in opposition to last week's insanity. If you're looking for a finale track for my year, look at that other track. This one is for the late-night chillout room after the rave. Can't believe Weekly Beats 2024 is done. Can't believe I never broke the streak. Thank you all who took the time to listen and comment on my stuff. Congratulations to everybody who submitted even a single track this year, and kudos to those who submitted 52! 95 BPM, Eb-minor.

First, wow. I have impressed myself with this challenge. Who knew I could make this many songs! Congrats to everyone else, I'm impressed with what you all have accomplished as well. Second, This song started out like so many other weeks, not feeling like my ideas were going anywhere towards a complete song. Then I just kept experimenting, trying different layers then arranging, tweaking and wow I really love how this one came out. If you had asked me Thursday of this week if this had the potential of being one of my favorites I would have said hell no, but today, I think it's a hell yes. The song itself evokes a bittersweet end while being hopeful at the same time. Fitting for week 52. Maybe I subconsciously channeled some of that week 52 energy. I'm no drummer but this feels like some of my best drum arranging yet thanks to some awesome samples MrdrCat pointed me to. I'm really happy to have had this experience with one of the best communities around. You all are really great people! Stay tuned for the podcast!

Well, as it's said in a classic song, "What a long strange trip it's been". I finished off this week's track building on the sample digging that I've been doing these last couple of months. However, I decided to move the drums back, make them feel more distant. I added a pad instrument from Renoise's built in set (A VP-330 sample) and built a simple pad. After adding the bass, I placed the field recordings and finished the arrangement. I added some more effects, some automations and finished the track. I want to thank everyone who has listened. I also want to thank everyone who has commented this year. It's been appreciated and I enjoyed reading them. Here's to 2025 and whatever may come next. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - SIDEEYEmusic - WB52

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 16:41:45 GMT

This is the first year that I successfully completed weekly beats after many unsuccessful attempts - some public, some private. To anyone reading this who listened to some of my uploads throughout this year, either by intention or by random shuffle, please accept my gratitude with this (not-so) short message of transparency. I completed WeeklyBeats this year with a very specific goal - to create a band new portfolio of functional, club-ready dance music. To this end I had to enforce a very strict discipline to keep the portfolio consistent. These rules included: - Each song must be able to mix into each other; with extended intros and outros for blends - Resist the urge to over-experiement with sound pallettes - Every song must have a defined beginning, middle, and end. In theory, each song should be live-ready on date of upload - The overall mix must be as close to release worthy as possible, with or withhout master processing And most importantly: - A strong emphasis on minimal, hypnotic grooves. Repetition is embraced and not feared. As a result of this discipline and inability to refuse consent to all uploads being easily downloaded, I watermarked every single upload with a continuous fadeout that runs the length of every track. I apologize for this and hope you understand if by chance you happened to notice this odd pattern whenever one of my uploads interrupted your listening queue. Because of this I had comments disabled all year except for right now, where you can yell at me if you so decide or find it in yourself to forgive my eccentricity. I don’t know exactly what I’ll do with all of these tracks. Some are certainly more usable than others. Some I’ve already played out this year as a full set. I was hoping to create a continuous mix of the whole year, appropriately mixed into a DJ set, as a big reveal for the end of the year. But the unexpected should always be expected and life throws more curveballs than you can catch. But what’s most important to me is that I didn’t give up and I genuinely feel that don’t need to do anything like this again. It is done. The strongest lesson here is that if I can do this, anyone can. So many weeks I considered this whole thing as a stupid idea and I should just move on to something else, but I didn’t. I knew I would get here no matter what. SO - thank you to anyone who has read this far or has found enjoyment in any of my 52 little dance grooves. This username will not exist in the future so if you’d like to reach out, you can find me on instagram as @danield.mp3 :) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This was really a great experience and a wonderful community <3 Looking forward to taking a bit more time with each track next year at a slower pace, and I'll see you all around in 2026! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - MRDRCAT - Office Gossip

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:13:43 GMT

I wanted to go out with a bang, so I tried pulling together a lot of my favourite lessons learned throughout WB2024 and make something melodic that keeps moving. Like something that would play over my own ending credits for WB. I hope I pulled it off! This track took 3 hours to "compose" followed by another 6 hours of rearranging, fiddling with patches, timing the vocal sample, more rearranging, re-processing the vocal sample, troubleshooting the complementary lead (the distressed bell that starts everything - it was SO distressed it kept disappearing in the mix, and honestly that's a whole 2024 mood), fleshing out the drums, and tweaking the levels and mix. It did not feel like nine hours (I expected the M8's internal clock to say maybe around 5.5). This was a fun one to work on for sure! The patches are all originals that I've developed over WB this year, with the exception of the kick and snare (those are Trash80's FM drums). The machine sounds are an old, temperamental brochure folding machine at my work, and the vocals are left over from Week 17. WB has been an amazing & fun challenge, and I think now I understand why people speak of it fondly, miss it, and also are a little relived when it skips a year. This is a fantastic community and I want to thank everyone for being so generous with their time & constructive criticism. I'm already looking forward to/dreading 2026. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - As_Yoesual - Torn Between

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:01:16 GMT

Holy bleeperdybloop, I have no idea where I pulled this one from. Not too satisfied with it, but that'll do synthpig, that'll do. Between Christmas obligations and me ending the year the same way I started it (fever, throat infection, nose/ears/throat full with sticky goo), I really didn't feel like doing any music. I just want to drink tea with honey and watch lame cartoons. But fook it, I pulled it off. 52 tracks in 52 weeks. Between learning to cope with extreme tinnitus, many visits to the hospital, and an insane amount of sleep deprivation... This challenge was one of the few things that kept me sane this year. I wish I had mingled more with my fellow weekly beaters and gotten to know you all better. But such is life. Thank you all for your kind comments, and you should be proud of making it to the end of this challenge. Also, massive hats off to those who will continue doing this in 2025. --edit, TIL: there wont be one in 2025--. I will take a long break from music, relax, recover, and focus on myself, my friends, and my family. massive hugs to all of you. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - myfirstpunksong - Mystic Jungle

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 14:26:27 GMT

Wasn't feeling inspired this week. Feel like I'm falling over the line that is the end of the year and that was reflected in how inspired I felt for this week's beat. So I went for the ultimate in creative constraints: no guitar and a one note song (ok so I only played one note and the synths and pad did the rest of the work). What went well Glad I was checking out other beats in garageband. Some of what I'd call house/club beats I found I think actually convert pretty well to a rock kit, and I did use that as a starting point before deciding that today I just don't have the energy to pick up the guitar. Still, I'm excited about the possibilities in the future. Always a win to sit down to make music and submit something. Enjoyed playing with different sounds. Nice to do something different,. Submitting at 9:20pm, nice and early, so I can hopefully somewhat recover my sleep cycle going into 2025 and not be up at like 4am and waking up at like midday lol. Even Better If Let's cut myself some slack on this one and say I did what I could with where I'm at. - - - Thank you to all of you in this community. Anyone who has listened, commented and given feedback (sometimes very generously!) to any of my music, thank you. I've gained and learnt a lot from weekly beats and this community. I enjoy the community aspect, the personable element, and picking up tips and tricks that helping me on the way and helping me make better sounding noises! Some really talented people here and some damn good music too :) Thanks and best wishes to you all in 2025. Wish you a good entry into the year, year as a whole, and I'll see you in 2026 ;) Much love and warm wishes. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Here is a track that uses some of my good old pots with synthwave like arps, and mixed it with some new tools in the toolboxes like the more atmospheric tracks I have done this year. It was a blast as usual to share the year with the community and I'll miss all the energy and great creativity in 2025. Everyone keep safe, keep making music, enjoy life, and hopefully see you in 2026! And for the ones who continue in 2025 with weekly tracks, see you on streaks! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - dancramp - Finale

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 13:57:13 GMT

Wow, I didn’t realise quite how hard it would be to do this final one - with all the festivities and family stuff I couldn’t do what I intended to. I wanted a kinda exit music for a game type thing. Instead I reckon this would work for some final boss music? The bassline carries this one… simple, lots of lazyness going on. Another single loop extended pretty much. Not sure about the fade in/out or the extra synth - feel that I should have put more time into it and come up with some sort of crazy synthy lead. Made on circuit tracks with a Roland s-1 adding the extra synth, recorded into an m8 then minor mastering in Cubasis. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Final track of 2024 is something a bit different for me especially as I've mostly been making VCVRack stuff. Some bouncy beats. I did get a bit bored of this, and didn't spend an afternoon mixing/mastering either, but hay ho. 40 weeks out of 52, that's not bad at all.

Week 52 - CatchinAshes - 52 Weeks 52 Beats

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 12:26:24 GMT

52 Weeks 52 weeks As the year comes to a close, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia. Completing WeeklyBeats has been an incredible journey, and I'm thrilled to have made it through all 52 weeks. Each beat and track has been a testament to our dedication and creativity. To everyone who has completed it every week, congratulations! Your perseverance and passion are truly inspiring. And to those who attempted but didn't quite make it to the end, I want you to know that your efforts are just as valuable. Every beat you created, and every moment you spent on your music, has contributed to this amazing community. Thank you all for being a part of this journey. I love you all, and I can't wait to see what we create next. Lyrics **(Intro)** 52 weeks, yeah, we ran this race, Weeklybeats, now we fade to gray. Year in the mirror, can’t erase the feels, Catch you on Discord, let’s make new ordeals. **(Verse 1)** Started in January, just a vibe, Kicking beats weekly, kept the dream alive. From lo-fi loops to hyperpop screams, 52 weeks, yeah, we lived the dream. **(breath)** Final upload, here’s the swan song, My Ugly duckling, now we’re where we belong. Tempo slows down, but the spirit stays strong, Hit pause on the beat, let the moment shine. **(Chorus)** 52 weeks, 52 beats, We made a year of fire, now it’s bittersweet. Catch you in 2026, let’s collide again, On Discord, hit me up, let’s transcend. 52 weeks, we rode that wave, Every note we dropped, every sound we gave. Catch you in 2026, till then goodbye, But the rhythm lives on, in the sky. **(Verse 2)** Night drives, headphones on repeat, Every track we made felt so incomplete. Chip-tune vibes, 8-bit dreams collide, Pixelated rhythms kept the nights alive. 808s rattling, synths so bright, This was our year; every week was a fight. But all good things gotta find their end, 52 chapters, now we ascend. Message me later, don’t let this fade, Catch me on Discord; we’ve got tracks to trade. **(Bridge)** Streaming in the ether, our beats remain, Echoes of the past in every refrain. Came together, now we part ways, But we’ll sync up again on brighter days. **(Chorus)** 52 weeks, 52 beats, We made a year of fire, now it’s bittersweet. Catch you in twenty twenty six, let’s collide again, On Discord, hit me up, let’s transcend. 52 weeks, we rode that wave, Every note we dropped, every sound we gave. Catch you in 2026, till then goodbye, But the rhythm lives on, in the sky. **(Outro)** One last upload, one last sound, 52 beats, our legacy’s found. Year’s in the books, but we’ll never quit, Catch you in 2026, let’s make more hits. 52 weeks, we rode that wave, Every note we dropped, every sound we gave. Catch you in 2026, till then goodbye, But the rhythm lives on, in the sky. 52 weeks, 52 beats, We made a year of fire, now it’s bittersweet. Catch you in 2026, let’s make more hits. But the rhythm lives on, in the sky. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - djippy - I gotta make my weekly beat

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 11:55:17 GMT

WB2024 is over now…   What to say.   First, thanks to you all. It is always great to be part of this WB project. Some older users are still pulling strong, there were quite a bit of new faces as well this year and it was super to hear you guys feedbacks and listen to your music.   It is very inspiring (or maybe motivating is the better word?) to hear from you and listen to some pretty fantastic songs.    Did try something maybe a bit ambitious for this final track. Did a wide open collaboration invitation on the discord channel and could « hire » quite a bit of good people… I wish I had put a better structure - project management for this track, but life, you know! For sure it would have been super fun to have at least a videoconference meet, brainstorm more, have more inputs from you guys about track structure and arrangement but all in all super happy that as many did hop in and in a way it was perfect as it did work out.    First two that did send me things are Jegasus and that_ranjit, closed super close by naught101 (your samples were not that easy to work with!!! But it is fine I know my drums probably are not either!)   Then I had chunky guitars from DESLRV.  Then super cool guitar solo from Kedbreak136 (and nice reverse cymbal and sound fx sample!)  Horatiu Romantic saved the day with super cool Piano and especially very cool singing. You gotta make it quick and dirty!!!   Didn’t see Huabun parts before this early Sunday, he probably added your tracks before Horatiu if Google is right. His pianos especially are gorgeous in my opinion, so I did try to find a place to showcase his parts as well.    I did try to build a « cohesive » track with all those parts and I feel it is close. :)    I never work with as many tracks-parts, did like the experience.    I am going to see good friends this Sunday, will still grab the laptop in case more parts get uploaded then try to tidy up a bit the mix… But I won’t work much more into this now.   Thanks A LOT all. It was truly a blast.    You rock!    Some pictures of my family (hey, you guys are pretty much family too now!)     and one with the girlfriend, because behind every decent man there is an awesome woman…  2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Here we are at the end of 2024, 52 weeks later. I've completed a weekly beat every single week this year, which is a huge accomplishment since I'd taken such a long break from music in the past. Not every week was great of course, but I learned a lot over the year. The tools (especially Furnace Tracker), and especially how to rein in some of my more chaotic approach without losing my style. I learned a lot about myself as an artist. Even though I've got a long way to go to continue refining my sound, I think I have a better idea of what my musical self sounds like. Thanks everyone who stopped by to listen and provided so many nice comments and encouragement over the year. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 52 - NOH1 - We Did It!

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 07:09:55 GMT

Probably not the best time to try out a new workflow, but I felt like I was producing the same formulaic idea when using a single device. I made it a personal goal not to miss a week of this project. I learned so much about production, composition, sound design, and creative blocks. So proud of myself for finishing it and not missing a single week! I think next year I will try to submit songs here and there, but mostly focusing on listening to others’ submissions, which I failed to do on a consistent basis this time around. Thanks to anyone who listened or commented. It really helped motivate myself and I hope to give back to the community in some way! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - jegasus - Death of the Crown Prince

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 06:51:49 GMT

# Lore Wait, seriously? The Crown Prince died last night??? How???? Oh my goodness, everything was ready for his coronation next week!!! Send notifications to the Royal Mint to stop printing the new notes at once! Oh my word, we have so much paperwork to fix now... # Everything Else This is the last tune I'm making in 2024! This song is being used as my submission for week 52 of Weekly Beats 2024 as well as the 29th M8 Community Jam! The Jam's theme was "Paperwork" and the optional theme was to use stationary noises. I originally started recorded a bunch of stationary sounds, like paper rustling, a clicky pen, and a pen scraping on paper as it writes. I got a beat started and everything, but wasn't feeling inspired at all and felt like it wasn't actually going anywhere. So I went back to a blank canvas and started from scratch. But this time, I tried something different: I just played around on my little Roland Aira S-1 until I found a nice little arpeggiating chord progression I liked and set that down as my song's backbone. I then did something I ABSOLUTELY LOVE doing, which was writing melodies that weave in and out of each other. This was my favorite part of the song, by far. I basically just improvised the first melody while listening to the arpeggiating chords, then I improvised the second one while relistening to the first one. I must admit, I'm super happy with the results here! The S-1 isn't awesome for actually playing the keys, but in a pinch, it does it gets the job done really well. And since I'm overseas visiting family, I would very much describe my current musical condition as "a pinch", hahahaha.... The end result doesn't really feel connected to paperwork at all, but hey, that happens sometimes. You aim for paperwork and end up with a vaguely royal chiptuny dirge. Let he who has never done so cast the first stone, right? In the Weekly Beats discord group, there were also conversations about participating in a big multi artist collab, but I ended up not being able to carry that forward. I created a few stems that djippy is likely going to be able to use, but I wasn't able to harness the power of any of the contributions from other artists. Basically, I didn't really give myself time to mess around with other people's files on my DAW, and I don't yet know how to use the M8's full potential when just dealing with a bunch of other people's partial contributions. Maybe I'll go back and work on this sometime in January when I'm back at my PC, who knows... Also, regarding Weekly Beats, I have to say, it has been such an amazing experience. I'm honestly relieved that we've reached the end, because the pace is REALLY hard to keep up with consistently, so it's awesome to know I'll finally get time to breathe after this week. But also, holy shit, it has been such an amazing space to create some of the most fun stuff I've ever made. Granted, I've only begun my musical journey 2 years ago, but I would NEVER imagine I would be able to complete this feat, let alone while making so many songs that I'm legitimately proud of! Even though the music I make is mostly contained to chiptune adjacent stuff, sad epaino stuff or comedy raps, Weekly Beats has helped me explore some of the weirder corners of those genres. Not to mention the awesome interactions I've had with other musicians here. Speaking about the other musicians on this platform, I gotta say, y'all are a ridiculously talented bunch, holy shit... And even though I'm not as skilled as HALF of you, I'm never made to feel out of place. Even though I'm just am amateur musican who likes making dumb little tunes on his M8, I absolutely feel like every other person on WB is my equal and peer, regardless of their skill level. That's especially true while reading people's comments on both my songs and everyone else's. On that note, I also need to mention that I know we're supposed to make music simply for the fact that we want to make it. However, it is undeniable that, throughout the year, I craved going back to my week's submission page and seeing "Oh, look, someone who makes awesome music said something nice about the thing I made!" That feeling is a big part of what kept me going forward: sharing my weird little tunes with my musically oriented internet friends and wanting to hear what they had to say about it. I wish it was a smaller part of what kept me going, but I have to admit that my ego is just a bit too big. WB has also been really cool because it exposed me to a bunch of different genres that I didn't know I enjoyed!!! Thank you for expanding my musical tastes! I'm not sure if I'll try to actually go for the full 52 week streak ever again, but I'm definitely coming back to Weekly Beats in 2026. Maybe next time I'll take a more relaxed "I'll post when I post" approach. Having said so, I'm just so proud to have reached this incredible milestone and it only involved very mild cheating, hahahahaha.... It's been real, folks. Y'all kick serious ass. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents and immensely kind words with me. Later musical homies, I'll catch you on the flip side!!!

Week 52 - george bowles - the finale in three acts

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 05:43:02 GMT

for the last week, i really wanted to make a high quality track to represent all that i've been working on. i stuck to my guns which have been the arturia drumbrute impact, the korg monologue, and the hydrasynth explorer. I wanted to employ all or most of the mixing and editing techniques i've learned this year, and throw in a few tricks here and there. it's mostly performative but also has a composed cinematic feel, with dramatic pauses and shifts and all of that. i was really trying to nail the mix and master and i feel pretty good about how it sounds, nothing like Ozone or automatic mastering used whatsoever. a bit unique mix-wise and both in the chicago school of post-rock and in industrial and even film score qualities. enjoy! i hope to catch up on all the tracks i've missed in the new year so I'll be leaving more comments on your tracks probably! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 05:16:54 GMT

I wanted to do something completely different for my last weeklybeats - so I pulled out the syntakt. After a year of patching, buying, researching, selling and rebuying eurorack gear, the syntakt was immediate and easy to use. I really enjoyed experimenting with it and felt this was the nicest of the experimentations. It's been a fun year however I'm glad it's done. It's a nice achievement. If/when I do weekly beats again, I think I'll make sure I have my equipment for the year setup, and ready to go. I don't really feel like doing a lot of trial and error/relearning new gear throughout the year. It made some weeks incredibly taxing. Thanks for listening to my stuff, the comments and nice words.

Week 52 - PeterM - DETERMINATION ENCORE

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 04:31:33 GMT

Well ... I feel a great sense of accomplishment. When I started this endeavour, I suspected that I might not stick with it. Then, each week came and went with a new song uploaded each time. I don't really know how I did it, but I'm feeling pretty good at the moment. And also a bit sad. Despite the arduous slog of forcing creativity each week, I really looked forward to listening to all your songs too and seeing the comments, not just on my own song but on everyone else's too. I was something to look forward to, and I'll miss it a lot. I feel like my biggest personal challenge for 2025 will be to keep making music consistently, without the deadline each week ... because I definitely left it until Sunday afternoon many times and would have let it slide without that pressure each week! Perhaps I will try to challenge myself to do a Monthly Beats with a weekly progress check requirement lol. Anyway, I have hopes of taking advantage of the relaxed schedule to actually spend some time crafting some stuff. For my final song, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit the first song I ever uploaded to Weekly Beats, that I called DETERMINATION as a an acknowledgement of what it was going to take to see this project through to the end. This was the first song I ever completed on my M8, and the first song I ever released publicly. It was a huge deal for me to have taken that step and I'm so glad that I did. So this song bookends the whole project and it feels like a tidy way to wrap things up. So here is my second take on this. I fixed the percussion, which was what many people commented on, and re-listening to it, I agreed needed some work. I changed some instrumentation to make them more interesting. I adjusted the arrangement and improved (I think!) the mix. It's still the same song though, with a relentless repeating chord progression ... a determined chord progression, if you will! ;) I stuck with just M8 synths again but took advantage of some of the new firmware features like wavetables and EQ. I'm pretty happy with the result ... again! ;) Anyway, congratulations to everyone who has managed to keep with it until the end. I had a blast and it was such a pleasure to meet you all and enjoy a years worth of music together. Thanks so much and all the best!

Happy end of WB2024! I feel a bit bad for not making it all the way this year, with only... I think 23 weeks done.. but I didn't set out to do it all, just relax, make noise when I can, and focus on other things (namely, travel, job and life).. and that was fine! I almost didn't make this last track as I am travelling over the holidays, but then thought.. hey, what is this new plugin that I've got a trail for? hey why don't I do one last beat for the year.. and whatdya know, here we are with a 10 minute long epic to close out the year. sorry not sorry. So this track is a lot of messing about in airports, hotels and apartments. A bit of mashing record on my phone while walking about and a lot of evening downtimes. Enjoy! Congrats to y'all for finishing another year, even if you only did one or two tracks, that is still more than none. Stay creative. Be into your own shit. Oh and I even, for the first time this year, did a lil art for the track. Alone <3s you 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I have no idea what this started life as or where it ended up, but I'm pretty happy with it. it kind of gives me this vibe of an alternate universe where a band called kissing eastward released an album called brightest days or something. but keep the distortion. this has been an absolute blast. not only have I put more time into music this entire year, but I've released exponentially more tunes (for good and bad) than the rest of my life combined. I'm relieved the stress part is over, but also super sad to not have this to look forward to every week. I'll see you guys in 2026. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Wanted to drop in for one last submission for this last week. Something very simple, but also special. I'm making up songs for my baby as she's laying on the sofa and practicing lifting her neck up and looking around (she's super curious and seems to want to get out exploring and gets frustrated when her limbs wont bring her forward. But thankfully she has two servants who carry her around, showing the lamps and plants of our house..) I decided to simply record one of my spontaneous songs with her. This is the music I'm focusing on for the time being. I notice some productivity programming in me saying this is not enough of a song, it's short and simple and silly. But that's why I need to share it, to challenge that programming and show respect for this stage of life. The everyday creativity. It is enough. That's a part of life too. And anyway, that's the music I want to make. Music of life. Sometimes it's sitting in solitude, experimenting with sounds by the computer. Sometimes it's singing with a baby. Wishing you all a wonderful holidays/yule/xmas and new year! (pikku Mailin means little Mailin, it's a song celebrating that she came to us. And the words change each time I sing it, I sing about what I'm observing her doing.) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - budmelvin - Medina the Chief of Police

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 20:18:07 GMT

Been wanting to write this one for a while and finally got it done just in time. A while back our chief of police was on his way to a mayoral press conference in an unmarked work vehicle with his wife when he pulled over to check on a fight at a homeless camp. Supposedly someone fired off a shot so he took off through a red light and almost killed another driver. He was not found to have any fault and faced no consequences. You could write an entire album of western gunfighter ballads about Albuquerque. I managed to do 2 this year. Glad to finally hit week 52 - this is a lot of work. I'm sorry I did not have much time to listen and comment on others here but I appreciate all of the support from you all over the year. Thanks everyone. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - spry - Get Focus (WB52)

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 17:30:53 GMT

Congrats everyone! We made it through another year of weeklybeats :) This week I made a proof of concept for a video game I'm working on. It's a puzzle game where you loose when the screen fills up with pieces so the music is meant to be reactive to the game state. The closer you are to game over, the faster the music goes! I used stepped tempos between 40 and 70. I also threw in half time and full time sections for the drums. Only a few patterns made up the song but between all the variations I think it turned out pretty neat! The game version will need to export all the different variations separately and map them up with code but this is a great proof for now. Time to actually make this game happen ^_^' 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - Mamoriya - 20241228_finalwb2024_2.mp3

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 12:02:31 GMT

Working title since I hate naming songs especially at moments like these. Truly, 2024 was supposed to be my best year yet, but probably ended up worse overall than 2023. Life has been particularly hard in the past couple of months. Some seriously terrible things happened. I'm through the worst of it by this point though. I was awfully busy with a job and dealing with personal issues on tpo of that left me too busy to put meaningful amounts of time and/or mental energy into music, which is why I couldn't keep up with the WeeklyBeats "challenge". When I started, I thought I'd be unemployed throughout the whole year. Granted, I'm indescribably happy I landed a job in this economic slump. It was a massive stroke of luck. I have big plans for 2025 and have reasons to believe it will go much, much better than this year. I'm unhappy with the general direction and quality of the composition as I have been for almost every piece of music I've made this year and last year. I never feel like my experimental music is exploratory enough. I never feel like my EDM tracks have the general vibe I want them to have. I have terrible compositional habits (such as overusing the VI-VII-i chord progression) that probably stem from having neither a passable music theory knowledge nor an ability to play a melodic instrument. At least my mixing knowledge is becoming quite good by my standards. I can generally make a mostly technically competent mix that sounds the way I want in a very reasonable amount of time now. But goddamn, if I don't love making music. It's my favorite thing in the whole world. And seriously, I don't suppose anything else matters. Creation needs not a standard, an audience, an end goal nor monetary incentives. I'll keep going. I'll strive to make more, and better music, and improve my life while I'm at it. I hope your 2024 was better than mine. Have a great 2025, everyone. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - hhuwoa - 52. flatter & colder / edge of the world [/ kiss you / the end always]

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 09:58:46 GMT

52. flatter & colder / edge of the world [/ kiss you / the end always] final upload of the year is another medley/megamix thing. intended as a 2 parter plus 2 bonus tracks, like the secret tracks you would find at the end of the cd, › back when that was a thing ;)‹ back when that was a thing ;). thanks if you have been listening to my stuff. please check out my other work and follow/subscribe! i didn't originally want to connect this project to my main body of work, so i would have the freedom to make "bad" tracks, do stuff that was a bit more personal, or get "experimental" beyond what might make it through the quality control filter for jvz stuff. but i think this mostly turned out pretty decent, or at least not any worse than other "x quota in y time frame" projects i've done. standing back and looking at it as a whole, i'm proud of it. i released a total of 3 hours of music in this project - just enough to fill a free soundcloud account. i will be compiling the best tracks and releasing them on bandcamp in the new year, maybe with some edits, or just as they are, i haven't decided yet 🤔 this project helped me grow, pushed me to try new things and functioned as a kind of anchor as life went on. thanks again for listening, i hope i was able to make you feel something with my music. see you in 2026? hhuwoa on soundcloud - 52. flatter & colder / edge of the world [/kiss you / the end always] 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 52 - Sodabelly - Blissed Out and Goodbye

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 08:35:49 GMT

Well, I fell off for a few weeks recently and it was bound to happen this year but I think I still did pretty darn good. I will miss you all and all of your amazing music but I will definitely come here and try to catch up on the stuff I've missed. Regarding the track, shoegaze is definitely one of my favourite genres and Loveless is probably my fav album of all time so it's kind of shocking that I don't try more (or any) shoegaze. This is mostly an exercise to see if I could get some good sounds and textures happening, not an exercise in songwriting sadly. But this was fun and after I wrap up my ambient album I might try a shoegaze album??? Much love, Sodabelly 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Finishing this year with Synthwave. I guess it really is a genre that I just naturally settle into. I really love this one, I think I hit on a really cool groove with it and I love the vocal sample usage. As always, I am so utterly grateful for Weekly Beats. This project has changed my life and my music in ways that I never could have known when I started doing it ten years ago. I cannot believe that I've written 312 songs in this project. I wrote some of the best work of my lifetime in 2024, all the while I was up against some of the hardest trials of my life. Weekly Beats helped me to overcome so much, issues with confidence in myself and my music, depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome and more. I will always be so thankful for this project and everyone who is a part of it. Thank you again for another great year. I am so proud of what everyone created. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sat, 28 Dec 2024 00:15:02 GMT

I did it. Still can't quite believe it. I used this as a personal sketchbook for music, and it ended up becoming something closer to a diary when I look back over the year. This song is a celebrations of sorts of all that came before, made up of parts from 11 of the sketches I was most proud of and a new piece of nonsense to get it going. I've thoroughly enjoyed doing this. I will never do it again. This is a fantastic and supportive community I wish I'd had more time to engage with, but please know every word of advice or support was greatly received! Until whenever, peace n love and well done to everyone else who made it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - nedsferatu - EXW_WB_Y24W52.WAV

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 20:53:06 GMT

Thank you all for an awesome year. This track is all the same instruments as W45 but made in a completely different way. I replaced my Focusrite interface with the new Zoom Livetrak L-6. I used renoise to sequence my synths, then mixed and recorded into the L-6. A little mastering in Audacity and here we are. It's not my favorite track in the world but I'm really enjoying the new workflow. I made 30 tracks this year. Week 1 was the first week I ever used Renoise, now I have it running an external rack of gear. Before this year, I was almost entirely using samples and now I am entirely generating my own sounds on analog gear. I greatly increased my knowledge of music theory and how to apply it to composition, especially when it comes to chords. I focused on breakbeat this year and started the year without really knowing how to chop and process a break. I went from samples others had created, to my own recorded samples from streaming, to ripping the original vinyl, to generating breaks on a drum machine. I learned how to mix and master from absolutely no knowledge to feeling confident in it. I bought synthesizers, countless cables and made instruments like the lap steel guitar and spring board. It was an incredibly productive year and I still feel like I'm just getting started. Most importantly, I started the year not knowing any of you and now I am going to miss you next year. Thanks for an incredible year. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 19:00:31 GMT

The final week! Somehow I managed to record something every week this year, although the quality was definitely not consistent. This is another old song that I finally tried to record. It's a somber song about big life transitions, which seems fitting for a number of reasons in my personal life right now. Maybe most notably, I turn 30 next week shortly after the new year. Thanks to everyone who has listened to my goofy little demos this year. I have tried to respond to most comments, but my time commitment to Weekly Beats has waxed and waned with life. I really do appreciate the community here and discovering what others have created. If anyone would like to follow my creative adventures going forward, you can find me (and my band "Jonah!" ) below. Next year, I'm planning to take many of the demos I created this year and refine them into polished projects. Solo Music: Bandcamp Spotify Instagram Jonah!

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 20:54:54 GMT

Well, that's another year in the books. I managed to do all 52 weeks again, although there were times when life didn't make it easy this year. Overall, though, WB didn't feel like too much of an obligation this year. For the most part I looked forward to being able to work on music each week, and I definitely enjoyed listening to the wealth of tracks on here and interacting with the community. I've been pretty bad about doing music in off years the past several times I've done Weekly Beats. I don't want to fall off completely from music in 2025. I don't think my wife would be happy with me if I tried to maintain a weekly pace in 2025, but maybe I can try to do every other week or something just to keep at it. We'll see how it goes. WB is definitely good for the motivation, and sometimes I can get lazy when I don't have that. I generated enough material I'm reasonably happy with in 2024, that I'll probably try to put together a couple albums to release in 2025. Who knows what curveballs life will throw or if any of us will even still be here, but my plan as of right now is to be back for WB 2026. Hope to see you all here as well! As for this final track, I tried to go a little epic for the last hurrah and did a track with several sections. I may end up tweaking it further, but I settled here for now. Thanks for listening and for the kind and thoughtful comments you've shared with me this year. It is much appreciated. Music-making can be a little bit of a lonely hobby sometimes, and it's always nice to know your work has at least reached a few attentive ears. I hope I was able to return that favor to a small degree. Feel free to keep me posted of any music stuff y'all are doing in 2025 and I'll do my best to check it out. If you've got any email lists you want me to join or bandcamp pages or youtube channels or whatever, let me know and I will follow. Here's hoping for a great 2025 and beyond! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Countless years have passed by and we're many miles apart Although we haven't spoken I hope you know I'll always be your friend Even though our winding paths may never cross again I'll always look back fondly even as we make our own ways through the void I hope that things are stable and you don't feel paranoid And many blessings come your way as you head off wherever you're bound for Voyage into vastness and pass through a billion doors And one day you will wake up and find yourself exactly where you are 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 52 - Paisleyfrog - Return to the Quiet

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 16:58:33 GMT

How does one cap off a year? 2024 was a lot. But it was also amazing and unexpected. I was planning on doing a biweekly song project in '24 and had posted my first track on FB (yes, that's a Steamboat Willie sample), when MRDRCAT told me about this thing called Weekly Beats...and that I should check it out! Sure, I'll give it a try... I was figuring on just having a good place to post music on a weekly basis. But wow...it was the amazing community here that made the year special....encouraging, thoughtful, and just fun. Because of this awesome group of musicians, I tried things this year that I NEVER would have tackled otherwise (over some 15+ genres of music, depending how you count). I've gained so much confidence as a musician this year, and it's because of Weekly Beats. So how do you cap off a year? By returning to the quiet for a while. This is an improvisation with the Liven AmbientØ and Native American flute. A bit of a callback to week 14 when I was sort of struggling to get things done, but the community really gave me a boost. I also got to do what I wanted on week 26, and give the birds a bit more of a solo. :) Thanks to everyone who makes this place great. Time to recharge in 2025, release a couple albums and experiment. Hope to see you again in 2026! Peace and love to you all. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 52 - KeFF - Final Finaly 52

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 12:54:30 GMT

Weeklybeats has been an amazing and really tiring project at the same time. I was sure I could only manage for 8 weeks or so, but somehow, I kept it going until the end. What amazes me the most is that, even during those weeks when inspiration was nowhere to be found, I still managed to get something out. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is the value of simply pushing through and releasing “something,” even if it feels imperfect. Sometimes, in the middle of those uninspired moments, surprising ideas emerge. It also taught me to be okay with sharing unfinished or raw work—it doesn’t always have to be polished to perfection. Next, I’ll be curating these tracks into a Bandcamp release and putting together a full album of the best pieces. I’m also planning to craft a live set based on this year’s work. If there’s one thing I’ve discovered, it’s that my best creations this year came from using Nanoloop and the Perkons—so that’s definitely the setup I’ll stick with moving forward. This week’s tune is a study of what happens when one channel of the Perkons is run through Steampipe. Steampipe can really make anything sound like the soundscape of an Alien movie. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 52 - tarsiidea - Pretty Face

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 06:10:08 GMT

A synthpop song this week, which started off with a bassline on my Moog Grandmother and playing around with an SP1200 emulation for the drums. It had a dark vibe so I leant into that, playing around with distortion on my vocals (which suited my voice better than expected, I'm gonna try effects like that more in the future). I also had a go at layering a bunch a guitar parts to build a swirly, pulsing vibe over the moog bassline. The song is inspired by a reddit post on struggling with the expectations of having a pretty face and all the preconceptions those around them placed on the OP, while totally disregarding their personality. And when those people did get to know the OP better, they rejected them as they no longer matched the ideal they'd built in their head. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

It was a challenging year overall, but I’m glad I made it through without skipping even a single week here! This might be the most “long-term” commitment I’ve made to myself with undivided discipline in my 40 years of life. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with “capturing” some orchestral plugins I have, to use with my beloved Deluge. This was a test for one of the “string ensemble” samples I’ve created—a humble effort to hopelessly catch a glimpse of the “extreme” ambient beauty of the band *Stars of the Lid*. Here’s to a calm 2025, where we can slow down and enjoy what life throws at us as much as possible. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Finishing it off properly with stealth, then action, with the final lead a mix of detuned saws and an organ. An okay year, I think. Had two more styles in mind that would have required a higher time investment and didn't do anything with that (didn't touch FamiTracker once). Next time, hopefully, if I keep with this format. There were times where I was itching to make something specific but already committed to a different style for the month, so I might go back to track-of-the-week. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 52 - Xjs - Reset

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 00:01:30 GMT

The last piece for this year, I put quite some effort in and missed a good part of #38C3 for it, including driving back to the hotel to record the vocals because I couldn't find a quiet place on the conference. I am so proud of where I have gotten to musically this year, and I'm very grateful for this opportunity here at WeeklyBeats. :) I hope the upload is finally working, it threw me out multiple times now. Lyrics: Speedrun through the youth, in hope of a reward sacrifice the life for fame and recognition got it all assed backwards, the timing wasn't right in the grown-up world, stuff is getting hard Go forgo the power, in the name of morality Go and lose your courage on a shady winter day What again is time, it's passing without you Wisdom comes with age, another turning of the wheel Reset let me play another time Let me save and roll again! This game wasn't made for one pass only Reset let me choose a different path a different character at last! This soul wasn't made for one life only! The year comes to a close, the cycle is restored Glimpse into the future, will you level up this time? The next attempt is young, not created yet Grow and go with the flow, you're not getting bored Find yourself a better power, clean and without shame Don't be afraid to evolve, time is on your side Courage isn't gained, it is slowly built Drops of wisdom from the sea, you touched the water Reset let me play another time Let me save and roll again! This game wasn't made for one pass only Reset let me choose a different path a different character at last! This soul wasn't made for one life only! Reset let me play another time Let me save and roll again! This game wasn't made for one pass only Reset let me choose a different path a different character at last! This soul wasn't made for one life only! This soul wasn't made for one life only! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 51 - laguna - Before everything crashed

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:59:16 GMT

This is not my song. This is a saved arrangement before everything crashed. I was experimenting with a plugin and the timing went nuts, then the last backup was missing 2 hours of work. Not much of a structure. This is just patterns more or less arranged so there are separated parts, but... man! software failures are quite unnerving. Now some synth got stuck at the end and I didn't even realized it. I'm not even sure but I hear the playback accelerating after 8 breaks, like the timing was wrong... Well, just one week to go. This wasn't my idea of close of the year. I think I'll ask for a reupload. Sorry for the rant, people. I almost forgot it's almost Christmas. I sincerely hope you are all well, and have the greatest time with your loved ones, wherever you are :) 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 51 - Tomatron.Jones - How To Make a Beat #1

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:58:54 GMT

This week I made a quick beat from scratch with a friend. It's not great but it was fun! Glitchy, ambient-y synthwave-y. It included pulling in Splice samples, adding synths and bass, sample chopping, simpler, FX automation. * Ableton bass for bass * Massive for synths * Ample use of Transit, Valhalla * Gullfoss and Ozone Elements 10 for mastering Total Time: ~2.5 hours 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 51 - Jai Cafarella - Take Your Medicine

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:58:21 GMT

This idea has been floating around for a few years with bits n pieces slowly added over that time but the original lyric theme was very cringe so I never got around to piecing it all together. Although this build is essentially what I originally planned, it was going to be an acoustic song, but laziness had me reaching for the electric instead (more set up to mic an acoustic) so it ended up as a more 'band' style recording. I wanted 'jangly' guitars, particularly for the bridge. I didn't quite get the jangle I was hearing in my head, but the idea is there. I wanted the chorus to have only a mild lift from the verse so that the intro/outro motif hits harder, but I think maybe the lift is a little too subtle (sounds a bit like a pre-chorus...? :/). Although there are some decisions I may do differently if I ever revisit this, I think it serves well enough to at least exist properly outside of my head. Lyrically I went with a fictional concoction of various observations of the classic toxic relationship we see in film/television where one person (usually NPC) is clearly an unhealthy part of another's life (usually MC) and by the end we sometimes get to see them taste their own medicine. Sometimes they REALLY drag it out though where it can become almost unwatchable, but I guess that built tension is the point so that when the MC finally wakes it hits us harder, but dang... Anyhoo, we all enjoy seeing the NPC get exposed for who they really are. It took me a long time to open my eyes You're never accountable for all your lies Instead you project all your shitty behaviours on me all the time I'm done with your lies Take your medicine, the truth is bitter just like you No more of your lies Take your medicine, take your medicine now The world will know You have them all fooled until they hear my side The proof of abuse leaves you nowhere to hide Your slanderous narratives a house of cards, I am the wind of the truth I'm done with your lies Take your medicine, the truth is bitter just like you No more of your lies Take your medicine, take your medicine now The world will know There's no love, there's no trust There's no hope for us I need peace from the uncontrolled chaos you bring There's no heart, there's no soul There's no empathy You're devoid of emotions, you mimic instead. I'm done with your lies Take your medicine, the truth is bitter just like you No more of your lies Take your medicine, take your medicine now The world will know (The world will now know) Taste your own medicine, choke on your lies 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 51 - Princent Vice - Before Frying

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:57:15 GMT

The penultimate release! All OPXY. Was struggling to get anything I liked down, decided to take a stab at a certain style of techno that has been pretty popular on Instagram. I was originally trying to write something a little less dark sounding, but when I didn’t like what I wrote my brain rebelled against it entirely and came up with something way way more ominous in tone. No external fx or instruments, just my usual mastering in Logic for iPad. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:55:49 GMT

Last minute upload ... and the dog is making me walk him now. ok, back from the walk in the gray fading light. There are a lot of holiday lights in my neighborhood, which brings sparkly good feelings. A good walk is always nice, but after staring at a screen editing for a couple hours, it's especially rejuvenating. One of those weeks where I didn't have a good plan, and didn't work on the song enough. Distracted with wrapping up work for the year, holiday things and lots of sleeping. I had a kind of Kraftwerk fixation this week. Did a jam kind of in that vain, but then somehow changed directions. Kept just a few little tidbits from that original jam. Since this is second to last song, I checked off a couple boxes: use some samples I've been meaning to use ... revisit some sounds from my week 41 song, which never felt finished. With those sounds, I managed to put something together. Played some drums which is always fun. Can't believe almost to the end! Happy week 51 to you all.

Week 51 - scy - Reboot

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:46:55 GMT

Today started out so well. I had an idea, I was in a good mood, and I had some great samples I wanted to use. However, I started to run out of time, and my confidence that "that's just (someone else's) recording of an animal, that's not copyrightable" would be sufficient to use these samples quickly went away. In the end I took them out, and the song became … different. Not a lot, but also not slightly. And, running out of time, I went from "this is gonna be great" to "this is gonna be mediocre at best". But: I've got a song for week 51, and all the sounds are legal to use, which means I won't have to be afraid of my next-to-last submission getting deleted without a chance to replace it.

Almost everyone is home for the holidays, I am in the midst of a studio re-org with one week left of weekly beats, but hey lets make some music. I have had a blast this year. Drums from https://system80.net/ (was waiting for this unit, I am a sucker for small lot euro). Lots of synth sound design, not sure how we ended up here but was a great journey twisting dials. No real mix this week so I hope it translates well, its got some industrial tones that just came out of the dial twisting. Hope everyone has a great holiday and finish to this year, it has been so great sharing mine with you. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 51 - Ruffian Price - Azimuth: Vantage Point

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:35:15 GMT

A very similar concept of a track to last week but with some key vibe differences - the distortion errs on the digital side this time with plenty bitcrushing on pads and the sound is softer overall, with lighter textures and higher dynamics. Not a lot of stealth and not a lot of action. But sometimes you just gotta stop for a while. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 23:07:34 GMT

Lots to think about, recently. I've found time to read books again, tried github copilot (both impressive, but also, still showing the fundamental limits of LLMs), contemplated life plans, in an unprecedented political climate where I live. Really a lot to think about. I wrote this little track on tuesday after finding some motivation, and I'm overall decently happy with it — I think the various places with a little bit of syncopation are fun. The melody is basic and the instruments are, well, kind of always the same, but I think it could be fleshed out into something decent with more time. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

BIRD SOLO i've been sick all weekend and my left ear was wonky, so hopefully the mix turned out ok. thankfully i had most of my parts (including vocals) tracked earlier in the week, so i was able to finish everything else in bed today. including some hot Casio Rapman bass & brass leads. that thing rules and i kinda can't believe it still works. › lyrics‹ lyrics trust in my head but i'm already dead and we may be accidentally monochrome trust in my heart that's a pretty good start we may be accidentally monochrome are you naked in your dreams? did your teeth fall out? did you scream? are you running out of steam? did your hair fall out? are you monochrome? thank you for listening. hope the holidays are calm for you.

Bass and lead are Vital presets by Tancla: https://soundcloud.com/tancla_lmao/3-ye … ee-presets, and the pads is a theremin from the Banjo Kazooie soundfont, processed and verbed. Did you know Bitwig's Sampler can take SF2s? As we head into the last week of WB this year, y'all should take the time to pat yourselves on the back for sticking through with it.

to make this track, i did a diary approach where every so often (daily or so), i added a few little parts. at the end of the week i had about 30 minutes of different pieces and parts that i felt told a little story. i'm not the best piano player and so i feel there are some noodly bits in here that i thought i could make more direct (i tried) but felt it made it less sincere so i just left it as is. i see a ritual that you don't understand. old and the meaning has been lost. you participate out of muscle memory, but there is something missing. or... it's a refusal. rejecting supplication to a god who has cursed you. so it's an act of bravery. or it's like watching something burn, a memento of some kind, and you watch it fade from sight as the last ember burn. the shape remains, but turns to ash. eventually, the memory fades too. frightening, but, no going back now. yeah, i like that. but i like it vague where you can derive your own meaning. what do you see? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This week I played around with the M8's wavsynth, hypersynth, tables, and a little bit of FM. I ended up making some instruments and sounds that I really liked and after playing with the tables and some other effects, transformed what was originally a bit of a flat/boring track into something interesting (at least, in my opinion!). I wanted to mess around with vocals a bit more after kind of messing them up two weeks ago. This week I used a quote from Dune, fed word-by-word into festival to give a bit of a less natural tone/pronunciation than if I had fed the full quote in (originally trying to do something like the vocals in Gregor McMurray - What I Want, but ended up with something else). I recorded it to my M8 and chopped it up a bit to get some more glitched/skipping sounds. After dropping it into Reaper for a final render, I modified it a bunch more using Baby Audio Humanoid. › The quote‹ The quote Subtlety and self-control were, after all, the most deadly threats to us all. Quote context Earlier in the week I spent a lot of time trying to sample jingle bells and make a Christmas song, but gave up towards the end of the week as I was getting closer to the week 51 deadline. Every attempt at a Christmas/holiday song ended up sounding too close to other songs so I figured it wasn't worth struggling to make something that I was going to be unhappy with... there's only one more week, don't want to waste a track! As always, any and all feedback is appreciated! The title of the track is the Esperanto word for "style.". Originally I was going to use a word for "threat" or "deadly" but those were a bit too close to some of my other track titles. The Esperanto words for "Subtlety" or "Self-control" were a bit weird to me as titles, so I went with a different spin on the quote. Basically that the "style" you use to address a situation is the deadly threat... it kinda works! The image this week is an animation I made by generating a 50x50 matplotlib plot of random data, cycled every ~250ms and recorded using ffmpeg... kind of a weird and janky way to generate something like this. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 51 - Tone Matrix - Forgot That We Could Always Swim

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:45:42 GMT

A bit of a scare this week (or one day ago). As I procrastinated my way through the week I finally got started on something Saturday night. It was 3mins worth of a mostly ambient track that I figured was good enough to submit. Went to watch some tv and came back with some extra ideas to add and saw that my computer was gasping for air aka "the startup screen was stuck frozen" and I had no idea why. As it finally came back up it suddenly showed the "choose a language" screen. I just about lost my brain stem as I feared the worst that somehow my mac decided to wipe the hard drive. Backups you say? Sure I got those! But did I backup recently? Like this year? Uhhhh. Ohhh me. Oh no. No no. No no no no no no! So I immediately turned the computer off at that language screen as if no one witnessed the tragedy that maybe it really didn't happen. I could feel the blood draining from my noggin so I walked immediately outside in my "not_dressed_for_coldish_weather_clothing" (shh it was low 50s for Miamians) and tried to think of how I could rescue my p00ter. ..... insert jeopardy music .... cooled head. "RESET THE PRAM AND SMC!!!!" he exclaimed! Long story short. That brought it back up as if nothing happened. Now I'm not sure what happened and i'm a lil scared of the next few days but you can dang bet I backed up allllll my music folders the second it came back up. I woke up today feeling a bit angry at the glitch_gnomez that tried to sabotage my day so I sat back at the keys and worked on the track more. Originally it was going to be a 3:32min track and end on the piano chords but feeling that extra bit o'energy. "Leeeeet me just fix this one note" four hours laaaater..... **gary meows** (i prob coulda spent some more time working on da mix and making it a teensy louda but shrugz i be all out of spinach for today) **t00t!** thank you for reading this abomination and most of all stoppin by. <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 51 - snoopy over the hills - 8-BIT NINTENDO SOUNDTRACK

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:39:06 GMT

This week’s challenge had me diving headfirst into nostalgia - crafting a beat with just four tracks and the simplest of 8-bit sounds. I embraced the limits and honestly… challenge accepted! It felt like stepping back into the 80s, glued to my NES, exploring pixelated worlds, and chasing high scores at the arcade during vacation. There’s something magical about recreating those retro vibes – a reminder of simpler times when chiptunes were the soundtrack to every adventure. One more week to go!

This one took a big turn, started with the idea of scratching the line "proceed with caution as you enter the symphony", used Spitfire BBC symphony to create an orchestra, but that was really hard and sounded lame. Then I was driving home from work and listening to Public Enemy's "Can't Truss It" and was inspired by the female vocal sample that's scratched by Terminator X in the chorus. Ripped off that idea and was happier with the result. Special shout out to Tone Matix and Neon Liminal, your music served as my soundtrack on my morning trail ride today, the beauty of your music matched the beauty of the scenery, everything blanketed with fresh snow and thick crystal like frost on all the trees. Also "Pax Intima" is a great track to motivate you to get up steep icy hills. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:34:12 GMT

Hi, long time no see. Last time i was here, was fading in spirit because my dad was diagnosed with liver cancer, and now, as of October, he has died. Made this track in under 5 hours this morn'. I had to include some passage about Homeland Security, they contacted me asking why my mom was spending so much(they were worried she's being defrauded, which she still might be...), and after talking with her, realized i don't want to be involved in some telephone conference with HomelandSecurity when i barely get along with her, so got back to them and told them 'i'm not involved in any of her decisions'(so they then conferenced with her by herself). This whole thing makes me a bit flustered: i'd like to deal with my father's passing in grace and honor, but my mother is exposing me to some pettiness i don't need to be involved in, right at a very inappropriate time. Thank you for letting me give you this bit of TMI. It's good to get family weirdness off my chest. My dad was a great man(his marriage, not so much(BAAAhahahahaha! :lol: XD)). Separately, tangentially, yet with amazingly applicable synchronicity, i'm reading books by the feminist, 'bell hooks', like "The Will To Change", "All About Love", "Communion", and "Ain't I A Woman". As a result, i'm realizing i need to be patient with my mother because she is somewhat a victim of patriarchy(but also, somewhat complacent in it...). At the same time, i also think she's a bit of a religious fanatic(sits and prays in a prayer room about 2-4 hours a day, and given that i often hear her grumbling to herself like a mad person, even while i was very young, i don't think it really counts as 'prayer' or 'meditation' all the time, i think she actually practices complaining to herself in there). This makes things EXTRA confusing for me, as it's difficult to tell where the problem lies exactly: how much has patriarchy hurt her, how much has her religious fanaticism caused her to choose patriarchy without even being aware of it, and how much is caused by just the ignorance of religious superstition? And should I even bother to figure any of this out, it's a bit too late to help her if she's not even going to grow aware of any of it? And should i even be writing this shit on weeklybeats? y'all will think to yerselves: "damn, if his parents are like this, Raja must be a horrible mess"(and it's true, i am...)... but i'm not really the same kind of mess as my parents were y'know? I'm a WHOLE DIFFERENT MESS! I LIKE my mess. I don't like my parent's mess. They aren't as often 'genuine' with themselves. Why do we need to honor 'family' if we don't feel honored by them? I will honor my father as an individual person for helping so many people(he retired practicing medicine as a philanthropist doctor, going all over the world to places like Palestine, Afghanistan, Niger, Mexico, Venezuela, India, etc. to give free surgery to people who couldn't afford it...). But i don't need to honor my relationship to either of them, do i really? We didn't really have a 'relationship'. We had a 'scheduled organization'. I got through my schedule, which was whatever they deemed appropriate for the raising of a child, and then I didn't really connect on any other level, other than wanting to get away from them. They fought with each other, ALOT! I don't understand why people stay married 'for the children'(as they say) if children suffer more from their dysfunctional relations. But all in all, I guess i'm feeling strong: my dad died a few months ago, and i'm confident i know how to keep my head up(despite having no 'family' that necessarily shows/encourages me to do so). Now that he's dead, it made me wonder if I should even consider my own life as mattering much, and then I got an email from jwh(joshua wayne hensley) two days ago or so asking if i was ok(which i need to reply to at some point, sorry Josh)... so that reminded me that if i did disappear, then there would be some people who might actually notice: HERE ON WEEKLY BEATS! (but only here, nowhere else) So good news! Weeklybeats has become my sole purpose for carrying on... (at least for now)... i WILL participate in 2026! So obviously, that means i have to stay the course and try to actually deal with all this weirdness(instead of like, going off into the wilderness, for example, and perhaps attempting to... "GrizzlyMan" it until my untimely death by poisonous plant life :mad: :lol:). Thank you for saving my life, Joshua Wayne Hensley, and WeeklyBeats! Also.... my dad is dead. 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Week 51 - neon liminal - the tides of the accretion disc (the pulsar suite four)

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:33:37 GMT

First - thank you to everyone for your kind words last week. It's gonna be a low-key and sad Christmas, but we're doing okay. This is the fourth part of The Pulsar Suite, and right now, at least, the "narrative conclusion" to the story as well. I'd always planned five parts, and next week is definitely going to be a part five, but it may be a more musical coda of sorts - maybe even the "end credits". Lyra8, Pulsar-23, Subharmonicon, Wavestate and the modular rig once again making up the foundation of the soundbed, edits in Ableton with some added instruments and vocals. The Pulsar-23, while a drum machine, has been at the centre of all these compositions, making what I imagine the "voice" of the pulsar is - here, the heartbeat, as well as the stronger crashing waves. The story treads on themes I've worked with for a long time - the loneliness of space, shared moments in passing, the frontiers of survival and the people that inevitably find themselves at those places in-between, seeking connection, searching for someone, finding themselves. I've included the dialogue below, since this chapter has a little more narrative meaning and maybe even a few secrets lol. › dialogue‹ dialogue hey, do you mind if we just stay here a while? catch our breath take in the sights might never get to see something like this again and it's so beautiful (deep breath) back in the Jovian system there was this guy I think we met on Ganymede, we were both in dry dock, you know. I don't remember when we said goodbye but he said "you'll find me in the dark spaces between the stars black as night but glowing like neon." I lost him somewhere on the shores of Europa. Thought maybe I'd find him somewhere out here I found you instead I'm glad I found you. One week to go, friends, what a ride this has been. Have a great holiday, no matter what - or if - you're celebrating, and take care of yourselves. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 51 - Napear - Patchwork Marmalade

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:19:55 GMT

Like many this time of year, I find myself at a deficit of time... more stuff to do than hours to do it in. But, still a bit more time than last week... so less speed trash, and more late night VCV Rack modular jam sesh. I think I finally have a workable method for multi-tracking out VCV for these kind of jams that doesn't set my computer on fire. This was mostly an unnecessarily complex drone/pad that I patched up, then a bunch of arps sequenced with a Keystep Pro. I added a couple layers of CS-80 V once I got it into logic... and I'm not thrilled with how the lead part turned out... but I couldn't spare the time to dial in the performance... so good enough for government work I guess. Almost there folks... It's hard to believe that we made it through a whole year of this... mad respect to everyone who's still posting tracks, and especially those who have done it in previous years and are still pumping them out now... One more team... one more. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 21:18:17 GMT

WB2024 has really hit differently, not good not bad, just differently. The biggest reality check has been how much harder it's gotten to make time for a random tune a week, with my kids being 4, 10 and 11. I've been enjoying that more, and working on Lighthaze World and a few other things outside of WB and making more time for gaming and the occasional movie. I want to come back in 2026, but right now I'm looking forward to having one less plate spinning. So here's a little 90s, PS1 inspired thing (maybe from WipEout?) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 51 - Nik Novo - Daylight

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:52:47 GMT

As of yesterday the days are getting longer again, so why not celebrate winter solstice with a (melancholic) track? Had the initial idea for this track at the beginning of the week and quickly put everything I had thought of into Logic, so I don't forget. And then I just let it develop in my head until the end of the week and when I sat down again, everything came together. While going over it again and again I noticed similarities to another track, so I started building it so I can also use it as a remix. So my plan is to continue with this and probably finish that remix at some point. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 51 - lament.config - Untitled XIV

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:48:42 GMT

In news that will neither shock or surprise anyone, I am planning on ending Weekly Beats with a droning, spooky tune. For this week I wanted to step a little outside my comfort zone. A couple of times this year I've tried to make more melodic music, also a couple of times I've tried to write rhythmic/drum patterns with static noise - this second last submission brings that together. It's a bit of a mess, but that's ok. There are some good ideas hidden in the noise and it is something I can revisit in the new year after a bit of music theory study, maybe then the note progression won't sound as jarring. For those who celebrate I hope your christmas is exactly the one you are hoping for and that you can be as close or as far away from the people as makes you happy.

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:21:17 GMT

Yo! Yesterday, I had the huge honor to be part of the More Kicks than Friends show by Ned Rush. For this occasion, I recorded a run of the game I'm working on since the beginning of the year :) It's fun, because it's as if the loop is closed now, with the end of the year and the end of Weekly Beats. This week track is the audio of this video. It's a bit long but I decided to keep it raw. Also, I have the flu so I'm pretty much fucked up! If you want to see the performance, here it is (I hope the link will work well…) The whole show was bomb. User Friendly, Tom Hall, Jamie Lidell, Sculpture, a lot of talented artists made some top notch creations! I still can't believe I was a part of it… Enjoy!

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 20:18:25 GMT

Three tracks of just-intonation Tele Deluxe (once again, having tweaked the setup a bit). This one's much more consonant than the last couple, with open chording, some fingerpicking--there's a bit of a slow core vibe. The usual signal chain applies. Picking a title was rather difficult, for some reason; I settled on a vague reference to Michigan's Norway Spring, just off County Road 573. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 19:38:09 GMT

Dozens of attempts at tracks this week, they're all something, but way more work, or outside my skill range. Made this in a panic to get something made. It's using the new granular engines on the Minifreak 3.0 patch and of course my jazzmaster. Everything I'm making lately feels like it needs more time. I need to get better organized on a longer than weekly scope. This year has taught me a ton and helped me get through a ton of mental barriers, I think I need to organize a little better and not be so embarrassed to make connections with other musicians.

Week 51 - PeterM - SATELLITE RADIO

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 19:15:41 GMT

Man, it's busy this time of year. Just a simple track this week. I started out with a plucky bed to work with, then I pulled out the Kaossilator to try to get a lead to go on top of everything. That's when I discovered that you can make use of the External instrument on the M8 even if that instrument doesn't have MIDI, a la Kaossilator. You just need to have a note sequenced and held on the M8 and it routes the incoming audio through all the filters, effects, etc that you set on your External instrument. You just can't trigger the notes via MIDI, but everything else works. Sooo ... I ended up cranking the POST:W2 amp up to FF (which must be close to 11 in decimal!) and jacked the resonance on the filter and got this wild feedback and resonance thing that reminds me of trying to tune a shortwave radio. The delay echos were sounding a bit like Morse Code and I don't even really know what was causing these sounds, but I kinda just went with that 'cause it sounded cool. And the Kaossilator is so damn tricky to keep in line, it just felt appropriate to add a bunch more chaos into the mix lol. Anyway, I'm please with the results, if it's only an idea and not a fully fledged song. But it's uploaded and I'm spending the rest of the day with my family, so that's a win. Have a nice Christmas everyone! Cheers! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 51 - Paisleyfrog - Autocorrect Christmas

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 18:05:09 GMT

A 90º turn from last week - time for a loungey torch song. Like so many projects, this came about from texting with my wife. I mentioned that I needed to do a Christmas song this week. She says "Death Metal Santa". Which made me think about making a typo and sending the wish list to Satan...which lead to all sorts of typo Christmas Carols (the beginning of the chorus jumped out right then). Landed on doing it as a torch song pretty quickly. I was texting to ask if she would sing almost simultaneously as she was offering to sing - "You write it, I'll sing it!". One of the thoughts was to try and blend together as many snippets of Christmas carols together as possible. The idea survived a little bit in the second solo. Just some goofy fun :) The track is once again mostly session musicians...I can define the chords, but certainly can't play piano like this. Made it very easy to change to a key my wife was happy with. It still allows for some nice opportunity to blend things, though: I played the solo and the tinkly outro part, and turned off one hand in the session player to make it sound reasonably believable. I like how it turned out. I spent most of my time getting back into trumpet for the week (first time since week 20)...and figuring out my trumpet key relative to the song. Transposing instruments always takes me a bit to wrap my head around. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics I typed up all my Christmas Cards Wouldn’t think that it would Be so hard You wouldn’t expect What autocorrect Would do to my Christmas cheer Boy to the world, Wreck the halls Fright Christmas, Jingle Balls I can’t spell and this is Bloody hell It happens to me every year I sent a card out to my Mom and Dad Never meant for it to Be so bad But now on Christmas Eve You better believe It’s gonna be a Silent Fight Boy to the world, Wreck the halls Fright Christmas, Jingle Balls I can’t spell and this is Bloody hell It happens every god damned year Autocorrect is So aggravating I made my Christmas list Addressed to Satan I’m really not Understanding the hype I’m causing more problems Whenever I type Solo 1 Boy to the world, Wreck the halls Fright Christmas, Jingle Balls I can’t spell and this is Bloody hell It happens to me every year Solo 2 Boy to the world, Wreck the halls Fright Christmas, Jingle Balls I can’t spell and this is Bloody hell I can’t spell and this is Bloody hell It’s gonna be An autocorrect Christmas 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 51 - myfirstpunksong - Mountain Stone

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 17:27:27 GMT

ALL FEEDBACK ON MIX, SONGWRITING, PERFORMANCE, MIX ETC APPRECIATED. A bit of a sloppy rushed one. Came up with an approximation of this riff recently and put it down to get started. I got kinda stuck (as I often do) with vocals. I find it quite difficult with writing vocal lines of melodies. Then this one I wanted even to be a bit less tuneful or melodic because of the nature of the lyrics, about being like unmovable like a mountain. Anyway I then started recording another idea, also struggled with a vocal idea, then came back to this. What Went Well - I enjoyed jamming a on the keys again, doing musical typing on my QWERTY keyboard haha. Been kinda fun to incorporate and play with different sound recently. - In the end , the last lead guitar line, actually came on vocals (which come in behind after, if roughly). It was fun to write a part on one instrument then play it on another. - I really enjoyed coming up with the lyrics for this one. Got the idea for vocals initially from a line in the Oh Sees song Animated violence 'I am warrior...'. It sounds so cool so kinda used that as starting point and then thought it would be cool to do different lines like on a theme of being like archetypical symbols of strength and cool shit. I was tired on Sunday when it came time to work on the track, but getting the lines got me kinda pumped to work on the track. - Glad to show up and get the idea down. - I love that WB gets me playing the guitar more often, and writing songs is like never far from my mind. - Even Better If - A second verse, with cool lines. - Tided up key line a bit. Maybe experimented with the sound more. - Better performed and recorded almost all parts. - Mix was quick and dirty and sloppy. - Not a sore throat from smoking too much when it comes time to record. Wanted to do more vocal takes and better screams but didn't really have it in me. Ideas For Future - Maybe take some of my favourite WB ideas from this year and work on them next year into fully realised version. An EP release, perhaps! Happy holidays everyone, have a good one. One week left! - P.S. ANyone know how to view my favourite tracks? I'd like to revisit some of them and do my year end WB list - Lyrics (I'm not sure how to do the drop down thing): I am wild beast, prowling through the forest I am mountain stone, weathered but unbowed I am iron will, forged in blazing fire I am rising sun, chasing down the shadows 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Happy Week 51! ONE MORE WEEK. I have really surprised myself keeping up with this challenge and I'm looking to surprise myself again with a new WB related venture. I'm starting a podcast/radio show called "Chasing The Beats" and I'll be reaching out to my fellow weekly beats participants over the next year for a quick interview about your creative process, weekly beats experience, gear you use etc and play a handful of your songs from the year. There's so much music I know we all have trouble keeping up with listening, commenting and reading comments. The podcast will be a way for you to catch up with all the other artists and amazing works and stories during the official WB off-season. This is such a great community and I'm really thankful to have shared this experience with you all over the past year. Be on the lookout on email and discord! ---- Now for the song ---- I did a lot of FM sound design this week on the m8 and like how it turned out. I had lots of pieces parts that took me a while to flow them together. There were some parts that I couldn't let go of so I just had to make them fit. I think I did a good job of making it feel like interesting unexpected turns rather than a bunch of parts jammed together. So I hope it leaves you feeling more WOW than WUT lol Cheers to one more week to go! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 51 - rplktr - The Longest Track on Weekly Beats

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 17:01:32 GMT

I welcome all critical feedback. The 16MB upload limit is a nice forcing function that effectively sets the maximum duration of entries on Weekly Beats. Throughout the year, I toyed with the idea to upload something that stretches this expected possible running time. This is the end result. This was weeks of work. I wanted something big enough to sum up the year and the successful completion of all weeks this year. I didn't want to upload a 4-bar loop that goes on for 37 minutes. I didn't want an unedited live jam. So instead, it's a 4-movement structure with a coda. Not a symphony per se but there's a lot going on. You might have seen me testing an audio codec in previous weeks to ensure people can hear the song once it's uploaded. Previous experiments were successful. I hope it doesn't fail me now! It should sound okay and be stereo. Each movement uses different instrumentation but there's two constants. The Opsix FM jazz bass and the Analog Rytm fully analog microtonic drum kit. If you read all this and listened to the entire track, thank you very much for indulging me. I super appreciate it!

Week 51 - thgirwnhoj - 51 Weekly Beats 2024 If I Could

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 16:45:59 GMT

For many of my tracks this year, I started out in Ableton Note loading samples into Drum Racks and Samplers. I find that this is a good way to get some initial preparation done while I'm waking up in the morning or on the go during the day. I tried that method this week and then got to the point where it was time to start sketching ideas. I came up with some that I liked with a couple of different beats and a melodic element on each track, so I was careful to upload the song to Ableton Cloud and to make sure I could open it in my DAW. I was not quite ready to flip over to the DAW yet and wanted to continue working in the app, so I shut it all down. The next day, when I went to open the song, I had lost all of my progress. The samples were still loaded, but none of the beats or melodic elements were there any more. I put in a support ticket to Ableton, but as far as I can tell the first version of this track is gone.

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 16:35:31 GMT

Another quickie - 2 hours to sketch out the track as a whole, followed by another hour of fiddling & messing with the mix. The mix is still messy (and the snare is too reverb-y) but I have to visit relatives and bake cookies today so that's all I got. Percussion is from that same jazz kit in last week's Numan experiment, and apart from Tobokegao's "a guitar 05" patch that I love so much, the rest of the synths are original patches. The opening drone is the lovely Hypersynth. The overdramatic vocal sample is from a public domain newsreel about mental hospitals that I've been sitting on for a while, and it's only pure luck that it mentions Christmas. I figured why not roll with the serendipity. Also, sorry for the bleak holiday track. Apart from unnecessarily stressful work upsets, I'm overall in a good mood. That's just what happens when you prefer minor keys I guess. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 51 - levelcapybara - goodbye moondude

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 16:13:18 GMT

Legends tell of a dude who lived on the moon. He was the Moon Dude. He, his companions, and their respective tracks taught me so much this year. It wouldn’t be right not to give them a proper farewell. So long, Moon Dude and friends. Maybe one day we’ll all meet again. ;) Just one more week to go. See you all at the finish line! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

A chill one going into the holidays. I've had two sample packs, one with jazz and another with latin genres for a while. I think I've finally managed to get them to sound nice. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 51 - LeBernd - TRASHDANCE

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 15:51:15 GMT

Let's get trashy! Not sure what inspired this, probably just messing with the FM Synth again and rolling with the sounds I happened upon. Can't believe it's almost over! Year's coming to an end and it's been an exhausting/exciting past couple days, with work and preparing to leave town for the holidays and new year's. Staying with friends atm, with whom I've been attending a dance jam session yesterday night, with (professional) dancers improvising to improvised music, me on the drums. Very cool experience, even though I felt a little out of my depth at times. Anyway, here's to a relaxing couple weeks, spending quality time with family and friends. Love to all of you, and on to the last one for 2024! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 51 - As_Yoesual - Just Let Me Play

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 15:51:11 GMT

At the start of the week, I had something else but couldn't get it to work. As a loop it sounded great, but the moment I took out even one element, it felt dissonant af. So, on Thursday, I sat down and goofed about with a few non-4-bar loops and some synths. Sounded good enough together. Halfway through, though, I strayed from my initial plan and started goofing. So, while the first two parts are somewhat decently thought out, the third part is the inner child in me going, "Ooh, what does this button do?". The synth design is straightforward and a bit of a FU towards my tinnitus. I dialed it down quite a bit but expect a higher frequency of bleeping. Actually, with so many chiptune-loving people here, you can probably ignore the warning :p One week to go! lets gooooo! You should be proud of your achievements! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 51 - colorful grey - leftovers: eine besondere art zu denken und zu fühlen

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 14:51:57 GMT

i have some leftovers. this is a stump of a track that i meant to submit earlier this year, but it never reached a state of readiness i could agree with. this week, i was able to find something in the way of percussion that works, i think. this is the sample of a german christian preacher talking about interfaith work. i didn't listen to the whole thing and don't really know what it's about, i just thought he had a weird, kinda creepy way of talking so i time stretched, pitch shifted and harmonized away. percussion is a drum loop through native instruments molekular (on sale for 19 euro yay) i hope y'all are having good leftovers from this year. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Almost 22 mile ride over a 2 hour period. Rode to neighboring city and back in a loop. Getting used to local freeway rides routes. Read book in park for an hour. Met with friends at local cafe. Usually miss out due to early meet time. I showed them record shop. Met bandmates to nail down songs. Worked on live backing track and rig. Produced 2 songs for the project. Visuals update shared. Looking good. Last minute shopping at target. Read book. Not going to finish it this year. Feels like a recap so is less interesting. Explored Vietnamese New Wave and Paris by night artists. Realizing I am just another Vietnamese American making 80's style pop with band. Did a lot of looking at E-MU Emulator 2 sample discs. Experimented with Vocoder source and legibility. Started acid track. Anxious night at home when wife met with friends. Don't know what to do with out her sometimes. Ordered The Man Who Fell From Nowhere. Want to watch the movie.

Added chords changed structure and built new section . Passed to M to add Vocoder carrier ideas for later. He worked on structure a bit. Agreed that I take over production for sound design and basic mixing. Added new parts and filled in sections will go back for ear candy and transition signals later. Excerpt from full song uploaded prefer not to share final product before the festival. Emulator 2 samples used. Wanted to recognize the role that played historically while also throwing back to common samples used for years after. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Brutal week at work and a short weekend, I did not much time to dedicate to this track. This is a quick jam.

Further experiments with the Manis and Mandrake. Now the Mandrake is here, the Manis get start getting a bit weird. Recently obtained an Acid Rain Maestro, really liking the modulation with it. I think if/when I do weekly beats next, if possible, I'd really like to "lock in" a setup for the entire year without a lot of chopping and changing. It's been exhausting. However, really liking how I'm starting to figure things out. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 51 - rdomain - Looking Out From the Inside

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:47:38 GMT

A track created on the OP-1 Field. This comprises of 2 pieces which have been combined to create one. Everything was done on the OP-1 except for a couple of fades. No other edits were made. The first half of the piece was created by only using the sounds of a $5 kalimba I bought off of Temu. :D This was then sampled into the OP-1 for manipulating. The second half contains radio static I sampled from the internal radio of the OP-1. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 22 Dec 2024 07:30:28 GMT

Distant melody, unclear, obscured, yet reminiscent of something familiar. A bit of a soundscape this week. Trying this no drums thing and it might be growing on me a bit. Broke out the harmonium for some live drone instrumentation and resonance and then used the mixing template from the past few weeks with some adjustments for taking off some of the sharper edges. Had to squeeze the compressors and fx chains a bit harder to make this feel thick enough. Total work time about 3 hours on and off on a staggered Sunday. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Happy Week 51! The last week divisible by 17, I know, we’re all thinking it. I spent some some time with Chroma Console’s “Collage” setting… there’s fun to be had there. 4 collage tracks created a backdrop that was just asking for some crunchy chords over the top. I reckon there was some jwh-inspiration here, loosely following an “ambient track -> chords/vocals” model. No clue how to mix something like this, feels like a slight mess in places but maybe there’s charm there :lol:. Happy holidays, see y’all next week for the big one. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Crowing close by, blurring fast Visions top-down never last All you hold near and far Want to feel it fall apart You call But you will soften, you will stay Writhe and twist the nights away Wandering and taking flight Followed winds, feeling right You call 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

What a time to be alive! Deluge Community Firmware's amazing new arpeggiator capabilities continue to grow! So once again I wanted to focus on generative composition just using Deluge! This time I sneaked in a gentle fretless bass as well (and even that uses arpeggiator in moderation, for teeny tiny octave jumps rarely). I'll travel to my home country to visit my family during the Christmas break, and every time I do this, I always try to decide which single piece of gear I have to take with me (besides the mighty -but very pocketable- M8, who has a permanent seat). Previous winners include Deluge, Digitakt, Digitone and SP404MKII. This time the winner is (again) Deluge and looks like it will keep sitting on the throne for a while!

Week 51 - Cosmic Cairns - Garden Gnomes and Fairy Rings

Wed, 18 Dec 2024 21:36:59 GMT

I ended up with a mini suite of sorts this week. I started writing the first section of the track and kind of figured that would be the main thrust, but then I wrote a lyric about watersprites and it triggered a memory of a song I wrote about 24 years ago that I called the Watersprite Song. I don't have any recordings of it anymore, at least none that I can easily lay hands on, as it likely only exists on some dusty cassette tape I've probably misplaced. I had a sudden whim... what if I just inserted that song right here? So I did. I couldn't remember all of the original lyrics, so I had to write a few new ones. Then I decided to close things out with a little instrumental outro. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ The bench by the reflecting pond Warmed by late morning sun The robin in the alder tree Whistles his merry song The dogwood plants are overgrown Concealing the forest path That leads down to the old stone well And untamed woods dark and vast Hidden lairs lie deep in there Where the old ones dwell The woodnymphs and the watersprites And unnamed things as well Think what you'll find Leave your diseased world behind Oh child of light Float closer to me tonight Stay close Goddess knows Bask in her love The stars smile at you from above Feel nature's flow And set the whole forest aglow With your Soul so pure And think back in time When you heard the windchimes Please won't you stay The ocean is so far away Here you'll be safe To dance in the lake's gentle waves Stay here Forever And think of this place As you submerge your face 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 51 - jegasus - I miss those days

Tue, 17 Dec 2024 03:58:01 GMT

==================================== This song is dedicated to my family. ==================================== We are sooooo close to being over!!!! I can't believe it's already been 51 weeks, this is WILD! This song is almost like a B side to one of my favorite tunes I made for WB this year, "my body just needs to cry sometimes". This song once again uses nothing but some epiano samples from a GO:PIANO pack provided by sumedokin in the Dirtywave Discord server. I gave this song some finishing touches this week, but I actually wrote most of it during my Thanksgiving break, during which I got lucky and was able to find a lot of music making time. The break also gave me the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my in-laws, with whom I am lucky to have a phenomenal relationship. At one point during dinner, folks got out old family albums and were looking at a bunch of photos from way back when. For some reason, this was a bit difficult for me to deal with. You see, being an immigrant and living far away from all of my immediate family members, I don't get to spend as much time with my brothers or parents as I'd wish. Also, having grown up with (and enjoying) frequent big family gatherings, it was predictable that the long-distance between us was going to be especially hard. In this specific scenario, with my wife's family all gathered around at the table, sharing stories of decades past got me into a very peculiar mood of sadness and longing. It sounds totally selfish, but I wish my family were there too, sharing our stories and photos as well. I found myself all teary eyed, remembering the days when my grandparents were still alive and we had these big Sunday meals at their house. Or just hanging out with my older brother and his family on Sundays for breakfast and lunch. I wanted to write something that harnessed that feeling of sweet longing for the days of your youth, when you were much more innocent, had to deal with much fewer responsibilities and had so many people you cared deeply about living under the same roof as you or just a thirty minute drive away. I'm not sure I was able to quite nail down the "thirty minutes away" feeling, hahahahaha... But I'm very happy with the rest. What I'm most proud of is that the song doesn't feel necessarily sad per se. Yes, it does contain tinges of sadness and nostalgia and maybe even a little bit of melancholy, but I think the overall mood is more of "I'm so grateful for my amazing past" instead of "I wish I could relive those days". Thank you to everyone who listens, thank you to everyone who reads my essay-long posts, thank you to everyone who comments, and thank you to everyone who continues to make music. This has been such an amazing experience. Thank you for making me even more sure about my newly acquired passion for music making (well, can we really call two years "new"? Whatever...). Hope y'all have an amazing week, folks! Cheers!!! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I couldn't make anything sound good, and then I didn't pivot to something else. I think it's the worst 'weekly beat' I've done this year - after almost 50 beats, I can still utterly fail. I am humbled and I am embarrassed to even post this. Nothing ever clicked, nothing ever felt good. I just kept going down the path, I was a slave to the 'intention' rather than open to creativity. Then a cascade of a bad mood resulting from this. Never getting into a flow, like which most every other beat. This was just a slog, through and through, and I hate it. The best I could do was salvage a mediocre synthy, ambient thing. Lessons and takeaways from this: * Past success does not guarantee future success * Pivot early * Making music is supposed to be (mostly) fun, if you're not having fun then you're not doing it right * Creativity over Persistence * Openness over Intention Going in with expectation is often what ruins what we create, or how we think about what we create. * Samples from my up-coming EP for synth and bass using Ableton Sampler * Valhalla and Transit plugins * Gullfoss, Ozone for mastering Total Time : ~4 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 50 - miraclemiles - Return to the 3rd Green House [with jwh]

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 23:59:05 GMT

This track is built upon jwh's excellent week 48 song escape to the 3rd green house, with permission. Many thanks to jwh for sharing this one and letting me use it! Whew, my adrenaline is high, snuck this one in with one minute to spare. My son played these sax parts about an hour ago. Getting a teenager to sit down for a session on a deadline can sure be a challenge. I feel like if I can manage that feat I can manage any difficult session musicians that may come my way in the future! So after he played a bit, I did a quick edit to find some parts, and did my best to mix it into what I already had. Could use some more tweak for sure but I'm happy we go the sax in last minute! Earlier this week I added some drums and keys and textures to the original which was fun. Contemplated sampling and remixing more extremely, but I liked the original so much I just decided to enjoy playing along with it. I did make a few changes. I felt like speeding up the original to a groove that got my toes tapping more. Then I edited the arrangement a bit, not sure new arrangement or tempo is better or worse, but those changes let me have some creative fun at least. All around a fun experiment I would do again. I like building on playing with other creators work, but it can have that stress built in because you want to honor the original creator! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 50 - Jai Cafarella - You & I

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 23:58:23 GMT

Yikes... I super ran the gauntlet with this one! I started on it last night, as per usual, but instead of finishing early morning and going to bed, it was so ridiculously hot and stuffy I thought I'd try get some sleep and set an alarm to finish off in the morning... I somehow underestimated my pedantic nature and here I am uploading with two minutes to spare. This was supposed to be a simple instrumental tune to get me by for the week because the song I started on earlier yesterday was not going to get done it time, mostly because of lyrics, and of course, I accidentally wrote this instead... Needless to say, it needs polish and the lyrics are cringe, but I must consider it's last minuteness before getting too critical :| Oh, this world's a mess What we have is precious Lives collide to give us light So we keep on trying Ignorance is bliss The world burns while I kiss you Bless this tunnel vision of you So my world keeps turning Stars and hearts evade To keep us motivated Caught inside a vacuum with you I don't want to escape it We don't do destiny You and I, our light could outshine the sun of two lives Colliding into one You and I, bleed fire as we ride the borderline of life We ride until we die We are summer, we are winter, we are autumn, we are spring You and I, our light could outshine the sun of two lives Colliding into one You and I, bleed fire as we ride the borderline of life We ride until we die 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I was actually planning to use my Orca-C fork with Ambient0 for this weeks entry, but I ended up doing huge refactors that didn't really sit well with Ambient0 (midi operator not sending a note off is one reason) so I hastily jammed this using Ambient0's own sequencer (which I'm not a big fan of).

Week 50 - xavier marques - O avistamento do senhor sapo

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 23:39:45 GMT

O avistamento do senhor sapo (The sighting of mister frog) Mister Frog vanished without a trace back in week 25. We've all been wondering what happened, but this week, there's a glimmer of hope! Inspired by this news, I dug through some old WB's and found a sample from the original song about Mister Frog's disappearance, that didn't get used. It felt like it had the perfect vibe for a follow up. It's a half-tempo take on the original song. I reversed a section of the song and tuned it an octave lower. Then, I exported a stem of the drums and played them at half tempo. From this, I tried to recreate some of the sounds on the sample and built the idea around that. Two more to go!!!!

Week 50 - neon liminal - brother can you hear me (with JWH) - intermission

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 23:35:48 GMT

an intermission, if I may. This week we had to say goodbye to our dog Max. He was 16, an ancient elder for his mix of breeds, daddy to seven pups, including Jack and Rory who are still with us, and companion to his sister Sky. my brother Rob is also mourning Max this week from afar, please give his song a listen. Early in the week my good friend and chosen-family-brother, Josh, aka JWH, asked me to make him a little space drone for his track this week. In typical fashion I ended up recording something twice as long and four times as complicated as necessary, recording live off the modular+friends, and mixing in DAW before sending it along. Right about when things started getting not good with Max, Josh graciously asked if we could collaborate this week - and he took my space-drone and added his words, vocals, guitar, bass and magic, to create something truly wondrous and beautiful. Thank you again, Josh - we made something so beautiful and wondrous I honestly never imagined I'd make in my lifetime. It's amazing. This was a wonderful thing to create together during one of the most difficult weeks of my life. Please go visit Josh's entry for our song and comment there: brother can you hear me. The work and soul and joy and imagination and beauty he put into this song is the stuff of dreams, absolutely wondrous. I am honoured and humbled to work with him, it was a dream made real. And thank you to everyone for their kind words and support these last few weeks. The community on WB is amazing. The Pulsar Suite continues next week with part four - and we'll end the year of WB with the fifth and final part. Meanwhile, I hope you find some peace and solace in our song this week, like I have. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Was out of town most of the week so didn't spend that much time on it but still wanted to 'get away from myself' a bit musically so worked with a new chip in Furnace Tracker (OPZ, a powerful FM chip but hardly used in games if at all). It's a sketch, a skeleton, I don't know. It's a lot of chords and low bass using patch presets but it was interesting trying a different approach at least. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 23:17:15 GMT

WB2024 is just what it is for me this year :) today marks a year since my mum was days away from passing away after her quadruple bypass, I started the year stronger with more filled out, deeper songs but with side stuff taking up my music time like commissions and a video game score I've gone easy on myself this year with the level of quality for my weeklybeats. As the Lighthaze World dev pointed out to me, it's kind of a good thing that I've had less time to WeeklyBeat this year because I've been making music for a game/demo/platform release which makes sense now I look back at the year :) Doing really well 12 months into this loss of a parent thing, the tunes don't really represent that though haha :) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This is one of those weeks where I didn't find time to record anything. The week I did record https://weeklybeats.com/djippy/music/mo … eboot-loop, I did ask for some of you guys to mix the track. Orange Drink did a stellar job but I received his mix right after I did a pass where I did automate quite a bit of stuff and I did find my mix a bit more powerful especially on the wall of guitar solo at the end, but a lot of his decisions I really liked. His mix is more clear than mine, less "messy"... I feel it does merit more listens then just me so here it is. If you didn't listen to my version yet, you can go back to it and have fun to compare it. I'll try to take some time to work on the week 52 collab this week, plus some new things for you guys. a bit sorry I didn't this week but as I said I feel Orange drink mix merits some love!

It is somewhat sad to think there's just 2 weeks of WB left. I'll miss that family of strangers I've never met but who are an integral part of my routine ;) Just a simple song for this week, made on an obsolete Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo from early 2009, running Snow Leopard. Renoise version 3.1.1 (the last one supporting the OS). 6 tracks, 2 fx sends. One drum kit made using some forgotten samples from a Korg microSampler kit by DenkiTribe. One base made of 2 sinewave cycles and some multitap delay, basically. I managed to mantain the CPU usage under 20% all time. Slight mastering in Ableton Live 10 with Drum Buss on the kick/snare/hihats and an extra instance of Echo on the percussion sound AND on the fx send dumped from the Renoise module. Soft EQ on the snare and little panning adjustments as an afterthought. So eight audio tracks total. Finished in two evenings and on time! Maybe this one needs some vocal snippets of found sounds but I think it's quite clean as it is. Maybe too boring? Let me know Just 2 weeks left. Please let me know you are there... and be happy for another seven days, people :) 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 50 - jegasus - la petite mort - spark x jegasus

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 22:12:26 GMT

Hellooooooo there!!!! I'm so immensely proud of this week's submission!!!! I actually teamed up with mwmwmw to make this piece of pure destilled art, hahahaha... Please be sure to also drop a comment on the song on his side as well since he did most of the heavy lifting on this one: https://weeklybeats.com/mwmwmw/music/la-petit-mort This collab actually started out with someone posting this image on the WB Discord group: mwmwmw then responded to the image saying "no jegasus and I are making a track for sure, I will hunt him down". And just a few weeks later we exchanged a few DMs about ideas and voilá!!! What's also funny here is that mwmwmw originally suggested we write a song about how the James Webb Space Telescope possibly has disproven dark matter. He even wrote some of the lines that made it into the intro - the whole "you ever look into you soul" and "you ever look into the universe to find the darkness?" part was all him!!! But then, instead of focusing on dark matter, I found myself writing about dark matters in a more philosophical sense. mwmwmw was a fantastic co-conspiritor in this and was super down with the change in direction. It's worth noting that the lyrical content of the song is 100% real. This is something I honestly struggle with often, so getting to talk so bluntly and crudely about it like this has been quite nice. I also need to shout out an amazing podcast called "Old Gods of Appalachia". The voice I use for the intro and the content warning are a bald-faced shameless rip-off of that podcast's narrator's voice. Also, the podcast itself is incredible and you should DEFINITELY give it a listen, especially if eldritch horror and folklore tickle your fancy. Regarding who did what: I wrote most of the lyrics, performed the vocals and did one or two tiny instrumental bits here and there. mwmwmw created the beat, and produced the entire track, adding a bunch of effects and placing everything in the mix. He also took care of the final mixing touches, too. To mwmwmw, I need to say: thanks for being an awesome partner in this. You created something REALLY fucking dope out of this thing and I feel really lucky to have teamed up with you on this. You FUCKING ROCK. This community kicks ass so fucking hard. Can't believe the year is almost done! Looking forward to listening to your submissions, too!! Peace, y'all!!! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Hold onto your buttholes, folks. What you're listening to right now is the product of the greatest musical collaboration of all time. Greater than when Bruce Lee helped Jimmy Hendrix with his harmonica solo. The impossibly dope and badass Spark, aka gravecat, aka mwmwmw, aka WNY, teaming up with this musical dumbass, jegasus, aka the jeg. You ever look into you soul? You ever look into the universe to find the darkness? Well I have Here is what I found Do you often consider Your own mortality? Doing so scares the Everloving shit outta me. Lying in bed, Just trying to sleep and fade away, I find myself thinking That I'm gonna die some day My mind takes me to this fucked up place Where I'm trying to imagine My emotional state When I'm on my death bed, Fully aware Of my impending demise And petrifyingly scared Knowing I'm about to die And cease to exist Not ready to let go And be consumed by the abyss Suddenly, I feel ice Stabbing me in the chest. It's name is Fear Calling on deaths behest It grips me completely. Freezing cold blood Pumping through my veins Like a terror flash flood flood It is compounded because I know that this is not some Irrational fear of something I can just stay away from, like bees or heights. Nope, not this fucking thing. I know that I'm gonna have to face this someday. Its's 100% absolutely inevitable. I can guarantee that it's going to happen and I'm never be ready for it. This is going to haunt me forever and ever and ever until it takes me. I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die Please don't let me die How in the fuck do people not freak out about this every god damn day? Chega dessa caralha de Rasgação de ceda, tá na Hora de escutar o que eu Tenho pra falar (Enough with all this fucking flattery It's time for you to listen to what I've got to say) Chega mais que eu quero te Contar de um dos medos mais Profundos meus, eu vou te Revelar o meu segredo (Come a little closer, I wanna tell you about One of my deepest fears, let me tell you my secret) Oh, and before you continue listening to this song, I've gotta give you a little content warning. This song covers topics such as death and dying. So if that's really not your bag, consider giving this one a skip. Oh wait, scratch that I just watched a porno and jacked off. I'm fine. Aaaahhh, we're all good. I don't wanna die I don't wanna die I don't wanna die Please don't let me die Okay, that was a good one, that was a good one! Is that a wrap? I think that's a wrap.

Week 50 - BTS - Plane Walk Amigo Tools

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:56:15 GMT

I continued my sample explorations this week with more ambient Drum&Bass/Jungle. I built out an arrangement with a sample set, addiing some pad sounds I found along with a field recording. After doing the basic arrangement, I added an additional element using some foley style percussion to change up the breaks and fills. After mixing and adding effects, I mastered and exported the track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 50 - mukti - EKESTI

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:54:27 GMT

I had a bit of a block this week and procrastinated on this track until the weekend. On Saturday I started a few different tracks but really didn't like anything I had come up with. On Sunday morning, I started playing with samples and some old instruments, and created the track I eventually submitted. Its (as usual) repetitive and a bit short, but after playing with it I think I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. There could have been some variation to make the track more interesting and extend it a bit; but since I was running out of time, I'll have to expand on it some more in the future. Any feedback for a v2 revision is appreciated! EKESTI is the Esperanto word for "arise," which doesn't entirely fit the track's sound... but since I came up with it after waking up and I had a picture of an escalator handy... I went with it.

Week 50 - Nik Novo - Up & Down

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:52:52 GMT

I started off this track with the idea of two synths, where one has a pattern that goes up and the other one that goes down. I did not implement this idea all the way through till the end, but I like the result nevertheless 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Took the easy route this week and made another chiptune* on the M8. Went for that keygen vibe with a simple FM bass, a triangle channel and a pulse channel. Low challenge level this week because I've been treating myself to some quality time after work!

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:49:23 GMT

I remember when I first stumbled upon Weekly Beats and I remember reading comments from participants about how hard the last few weeks were. Now I am feeling it! I did a more ambient track last week and now for this week I am returning to the trend I was following of working in odd time and focusing on chopped up vocal samples. This song is in 13/4 and really had to come together fast under a tight schedule. It didn't help that my DAW wouldn't load to bounce the final version, but I finally got it to work.

I think I'm on the mend and a lot more spritely now so I wanted to embark on a new quest; but I think the weekly beats forum will be closed for another year. Would you do me the favour of following me on youtube and putting the bell notification on so I kindof feel like I'm in the forum and have some sort of accountability with this?? Thanks very much!!!

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:31:18 GMT

This week's sample pack came from the Zurich-based jazz band Okvsho. Once again, 25 producers came together for 4 hours of intense crafting and sculpting, pushing their imaginations to deliver wildly different interpretations of the same source material. It’s always mind-blowing to see how versatile our collective output is. Huge shoutout to Okvsho for providing such inspiring and challenging sounds for this session! For me, the day was all about focus. Hosting the event in the first hour, explaining the rules, and handing out the sample pack meant I only had about two solid hours to dive into the beat. My plan? Stick to the one-shots and run with the first ideas that came to mind, keeping things simple and raw. The drum samples were super unprocessed and needed plenty of love. saturation became my best friend and, honestly, I doubled down on the drum bus aswell. On top of that, I finally got to try Ableton’s SP-404-inspired effects rack for glitching and automation. Let me just say: it was ridiculously fun tweaking those little details. In the end, I delivered a solid beat that captured the vibe and brought pure joy in the making. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 50 - MRDRCAT - The Impermanence Principle

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 21:20:23 GMT

This past year I've always had time to work on WB during my lunch break - that daily 20 minutes goes a long way to getting stuff done. In the past month I've lost that time as well as much of my after-work time because Life Happens. So here we are on submission deadline with hours to go and I'm on a grocery run (as one does) listening to Gary Numan's "The Pleasure Principle" for the first time in a while, and I caught myself wondering if I could try replicating that sound using the M8. Nobody will mistake it for classic Numan but I am not unhappy with the result. Two hours of work, all original patches (mostly using the Hypersynth) and a lead line that I started humming as I picked up the yard surrounded by fog and snow. The drums are some lovely samples of a dry jazz kit. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Played around some more with VCV rack after watching some very helpful youtube videos, starting to understand the basics of setting up simple patches and starting to experiment a bit more. Created somewhat of a generative type patch, as there are 2 different voices on one track and 2 more on another track with each having a 50% chance of firing, with lfo's at different rates modulating the vco's. Rest was done with some soft synths. Very simple, but hopefully enjoyable and enough variation with the modulation, thanks for listening everyone, 2 more to go! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 19:45:43 GMT

Had almost no time for music making this week, so this is a beat I had lying around half done from last week and I turned into ... well ... something. I really enjoy these excercises around some chords (To be honest, I often snatch them from Scaler2, I suck at chord building). It started out as an experiment to play around with the recently aquired RC-20 effects processor which is great and gives a ton of control to the various lo-fying techniques. (and also looks really cool) NGL, I am looking forward to being done with Weekly Beats for this time. It was fun, but also really exhausting sometimes. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 50 - onezero - Sandmount

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 19:12:53 GMT

Another fingerpicking piece on the microtonal Tele Deluxe. This grew out of the first and last pattern you hear, which turned out to be in 5/4, so I kept with that...except for a stretch in the middle that wanted to be 6/4. Same guitar, which made intonation slightly easier, but I'm still getting used to the closeness of these frets, so you hear some notes that aren't fretted quite cleanly. Interestingly, I'm getting comfortable enough with the fret scheme on the JI guitar that I was able to let loose with a little flourish in a couple places. No inline effects, but the right channel had the UA Volt vintage circuit on, so has some grit to the louder notes. Otherwise, there's the usual convolution reverb and multiband eq/compression on the stereo channel. Listening to this in a noisier environment, I found that it's necessary to be able to set that initial downbeat in your mind. If that's not set, this ends up sounding fairly chaotic. The title comes from Sandmount in Ireland, off of R572. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Final stretch, just having some fun playing with the Digitakt and modular mini rig with NE Loquelic Iteritas Percido (LIP). That module has so much tone and character that loves modulation. I do really enjoy the Elektron workflow. I am just starting to organize the studio, I was so excited about at the beginning of the year, where I just had to unpack, well it never got organized and now I can't move.

Happy week 50! Realized I am running out of weeks I can use to try and finish old songs :lol:. Bottlenecks on this track previously were getting workable lapsteel (need practice) and vocal takes, and just trying to mix everything, especially the orchestral parts. Finally realized I could just play slide guitar instead with a volume pedal. Lots more automation and knob-turning than I usually find myself doing, and more practice is needed with this part of the process. That said, this one’s in a much better state than it was previously. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics When I hold you, I know I’ll be alright If you’re not sure believe in me I know you’ll always be adored Even when you have cold feet We both get weird on the telephone Reading, riding out the storm You’re the one to make me feel at home Every ocean finds a shore When you breathe in all the salty air Planet’s turning, sometimes kind You ask if everything will be okay  I say it will all be fine 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 50 - Paisleyfrog - The Nothing

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 17:45:49 GMT

Two weeks left! Where did the time go? Wherever it went, it certainly wasn't available to be found this week. End of semester/year is always a busy time, and my wife has been fairly going crazy. Anyway, it’s just as well we didn’t have time to do a folky song this week - we decided that the album is actually done. Hooray! Time to figure out mastering and art. Also, I find my stylistic whiplash flow the past few weeks to be amusing. :) I'm also thinking making a second album from this year with what I've done with industrial and dark wave. That's going to take a lot longer to finalize - I've learned a LOT this year, and I want to go back over those tracks from the beginning of the year, make some changes :) It wasn't just my wife with a lack of time - I was finally sitting down to play around Friday night. This song built itself around that beginning arpeggio sound. I took a short sample of my guitar and stretched it out about ten times its length, chopped a section, then tossed it in the sampler. That instrument shows up on three lines - the initial bouncy arpeggio, a pulsing beat with a tremolo filter (which I paired with my waterfall instrument), and also a weird filter that turned it into something like a drum. The sampler instrument sounds something like an organ, a bit like Deep Purple on "Perfect Strangers". I was pretty happy with where the project was going Friday night - I saved it as "This is something but I don't know what" (which is damn near a NIN title by itself). Waking up on Saturday morning, I decided to make the chorus 7/4 (which I defined in Logic as a compound 4/4:3/4) - I've never tried it before, and thought that the staggering feel would be good. The outro was actually the chord progression I was initially planning for the chorus, and had just shifted it later in the timeline. I was listening to the mix, and it flowed into the old chorus - and I had a "holy shit, that sort of works!" moment. It's just as well, I didn't particularly want to end the song in 7/4. Lyrics. LOL. I wasn't in the writing mode last night, so I used a lyric generator to get me going. ("Write me a song about 'nothing' in the style of NIN.") Damned if I didn't get something pretty usable right out of the gate. I added verse 1a, tweaked its phrasing, and created the outro. The title felt like a logical thing if I was going for NIN again. Lots of vocal layering in here - ChromaGlow is absolutely fantastic at getting that vocal grit without losing a bunch of clarity. Generally pretty happy with how this turned out, for another two-day-track. I'm not certain about the mix, particularly the chorus....and I want to revisit the lyrics there a bit. Some of the rhythms work well in 7/4, some feel a bit rushed. Also learned a lesson about using space heaters in the studio - they tend to pop circuit breakers. Related: I got to find out just how good Logic is at autosaving, and MacOS in general about picking up where you left off (I didn't lose anything, including the unsaved document where I was working on the lyrics. Whoa.). › Lyrics‹ Lyrics In the void where shadows crawl Fragments of thoughts begin to fall A whisper lost inside the noise The silence, it becomes a choice And what becomes of misery Another unlearned history A second chance won’t come today As everything else falls away Drowning in the absence Clutching at the air Screaming at the nothing Do you even care? This is the emptiness A mirror to my soul Hollow, brutal beauty It’s taking its toll Wires frayed, connections weak A kingdom built on what we seek A second chance won’t come today As everything else falls away Drowning in the absence Clutching at air Screaming at the nothing Do you even care? This is the emptiness A mirror to my soul Hollow, brutal beauty It’s taking its toll.

Week 50 - SQF - orange trees W50

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 16:54:08 GMT

The song starts out with some percussion samples that continue throughout the song. I layered a 2 different sample tracks along with some kick/snare/high-hat. I came up with the base groove that starts out the track and it evolved from there. I made all the instruments from scratch going for sounds that felt like they fit the vibe. Now the hard part, mix/mastering. So, this was the most challenging mastering I’ve done. I really had to dig deep into my skills I’ve developed over the past year and EQ each track so it all sat nicely together. It just felt like there was a lot of sonic content all fighting for the same space and upon first listen it just didn’t sound like the m8 version after exporting to stems. I did some EQ in the m8 on individual instruments but I’m not sure that made it to the stems, need to research that. At times the track feels a little busy but overall I’m pleased with the outcome and the decisions I made along the way. It’s always nice when you feel yourself dancing to your own music :) Enjoy! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

ALL FEEDBACK ON MIX, SONGWRITING, MELODIES, PERFORMANCE ETC. VERY WELCOME AND APPRECIATED Please excuse my shouting :) - Feel like this was better as an idea than an actual song. Enjoyed the disco beat last week and thought I'd try it again (but go dirtier), but maybe chasing the disco dragon was kinda forced. Had some vocals for this that when I laid them down they just didn't sound right, so I made this into almost instrumental. What Went Well Glad to have showed up again, was good to get me playing the guitar and messing around. Started earlier in the week Enjoyed the grunt/scream vocals that made it into the song. The vocals that got cut allude to sex and that would've come after but hey ho. Even Better If Not tired and hungover on Sunday and finding it hard to get motivation to fire up. Tried out more lead guitar parts. Didn't experiment too much and think this could bring more to the song. The one I have is like the Ghostbusters riff haha Tried more and found better synth line.

Week 50 - colorful grey - world's deepest lake (lo-res)

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 14:40:28 GMT

the cold and clear atmosphere of this track reminded me of something i had recently read about lake baikal. process-wise, this is deeper into reason's maelstrom and grain instruments, with the pad coming from maelstrom and the sample from grain. i feel like this came together surprisingly well and quite musical. i had to re-sample this with a lower resolution because the standard mp3 was already 19mb. i will post it on my soundcloud in higher res. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Urghh… Tough week… minor illnesses ripping through the household, family stresses and still not ready for the next 2 weeks… So, it’s a simple one again this week! Effectively a single loop/chord progression and build up. Circuit Tracks again with 2 x tal-u-no-lx synths via iPad. Not convinced the drums are ok - I pitched the bass down as it had no low end and possibly sounds odd. Also not sure if the change in percussion, snares feel a bit wrong. But hey, it is what it is… It’s fine, everything is fine… 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 50 - rdomain - My Slang Is Out of This World

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 11:58:30 GMT

A taste of a new project I'll be starting up with a DJ friend of mine who is a 3x DMC DJ champion for Australia. He's not featured on this track unfortunately but this is the first track for him to hear and experiment with. We are both members of the Australian hiphop group Bloomy Meadows too. This may come as a surprise to those who have followed my music but I play in many groups including a death metal band and a Nu Soul group amongst others. This track was all created on the Analog Rytm with minimal effects feeding through the Octatrack, Boum and Bam. The vocal track is a freestyle from Raekwon of Wu Tang Clan fame which is freely available online. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Between you and me, this didn't turn out right. I want to apologies for not listening or commenting much this week, both me and my cat fell ill. She's ok, but neither of us have slept much. I'll try and catch up this week, I mean how busy can work get the week before Christmas? This weeks track was written entirely using MNTRA's MNDALA2, specifically using Tenebrae and Vespera. I was trying for something completely different but for reasons of time leaned into the static. If someone had told me I'd keep making space/sci-fi music 50 weeks ago I'm not sure I would have believed them. Well, in the words of that intrepid explorer of the cosmos "To Infinity and Beyond...the safety of charted space into the ever shifting maw of the monstrous nuclear chaos that dreams all into being."

Playing with the 6 Drones drone synth plugged into the SP404 Mk2, recorded via H4N. Thought I'd go primitive on this recording. Was a fun dalliance. I might actually be starting to enjoy the SP404 mk2. Its been hit and miss with me since I bought it but lately, I've actively tried to include it in my jams. Maybe it'll make its way to gigs. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 50 - Kedbreak136 - Hesitation and Malfunctions

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 11:14:57 GMT

I like when a track grows organically. This was the result of a bass line that popped in my head (probably used 150 times in other tracks) and then playing with a lot of synths and presets and getting inspired, and letting the track go where it wanted to go. This was fun and fulfilling. The title "Malfunction" popped in my head too so I went with it though I am not sure what it's about. 2 more tracks to go this year!

This is my second time owning the Mandrake, actually the exact same module I owned the first time around. Turns out all it needed was the Bastl Dark Matter, a module inspired by no signal noise mixing techniques. It's brutal in the right conditions. I can't believe this entire year is almost over. Learned so much from Eurorack this year. Wild ride. If you every wonder if Eurorack is worth it - I'd say yes. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Finished contract. Was a good a good experience. Felt good to work again. Simple design project perfect to get back into it. Discussed AAPI experiences around movies with client. Asked to recommend me for other business associates. Friend's Giving w/ T&D, T&K, L&R, A, and AL. Discussed music and listened about travel trips. Exchanged perspectives on the online discorse. Planned day to meet with T&D, and A to see Daft Movie at small local community theater. Wanted to support small independent business. Slowing down on listening for the year. Have been listening to several new albums every week for inspiration but not returning to redigest them. Helpful creative inspiration and research but not always for deeper enjoyment and memory. Noticed trend in apple music yearly listening statistics. Top listened to album was an album I had only listened to once and happened to have a longer run time. Wrap up did not include stats on bandcamp cloud listens (where most of my music comes from) so also had lower numbers then what is accurate. Autism test after watching video of internet personality. Interesting view into how others experience the world compared to myself hinted. Worked on DO with D. Shared progress on new set build for the rig. First 3 songs backing tracks established. Frustrated over limited time. Watched partner work on her contract. Discussed having limited time for ourselves and trying to limit over working. Hard to do for both of us. She also pushed me to raise wage rates for my services. Was able to squeeze in a bike ride between the cloudy weather. Thinking of picking up a new used bike to replace single speed. Found great options on craig's list (updated Centurion Le Mans RS w/ new paint and modern components). 20 miles on single speed is a bit much and limits possibilities. Looked at speaker for listening in living room. CEO shooting discussions and listening. Also hardware vocoders. Shared acid house history, discussed and watched old Xmas and childhood vhs's from pasts with AL. The Mouse on the Mayflower (1968), Frosty the Snowman (1969), The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974), Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1948), Jack Frost (1934), Here Comes Peter Cottontail (1971).

Trying to find more time to work on DO set and use some unfortunately ignored gear. Started by using the S-1 as a bass synth rather than typical polyphony duties. Built patch and dove into see how it could fit in. Made in the evening friday night. Turend down S-1 delay for recording. Working on collecting songs from this year and last WB year. Tried to make this fill in a gap. Undecided if successful. Different scales then usual. Tetra > Flint > S-1 > M8 > DR40 Audio chain. M8 > S-1 > Tetra midi chain. Recorded in one stereo live take. Wife tea ritual in mind. Mix feels off. Not satisfied but decided to move on. May revisit and try for a slower speed for more breathing room.

Just one single pattern for each of the voices (Rectangle Wave, Noise, Click) running polymetrically at different step lengths. The song is performed live by muting and unmuting the voices at will. Recorded to mono, with slight mastering and reverberation performed in Ableton.

LSDJ x Nanoloop as usual. As the title says I used a sample of robot speech saying "stop using chiptunes name in vain" on repeat. I'm going to start releasing a bunch of these weekly beats I've done over the year. Starting with this one. Coming out officially on 24th of Jan. You lucky bastards will be getting it early for free cuz you are awesome. Presave here to show your support to the algo lords for me plz ;) https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/onehitkill/stop-using-chiptunes-name-in-vain I'm very happy with the year so far.

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 14:52:45 GMT

Finally doing something actively different from the rest of the year and I've made an ambient(?) piece this week. I've been fascinated and interested in the Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 for a few weeks and I wanted to relax a bit this week (we are all feeling the christmas squeeze I'm guessing) so I decided to try and do something like what I heard from that piece of gear on the M8. Started off trying to make it a full generative piece and then veered away so it's semi-randomised but more constrained than, say, a modular piece of similar vibes which I used to do for WB when I had a eurorack system. Anyway, I'm rambling. Enjoy. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I welcome all critical feedback. A year ago, while I was in Bangkok, a friend asked me for a quick jingle as an outro for his videos. I managed to help him equipped with only a laptop and Renoise, and in May I extended the jingle as a weekly beat while I was away from my studio again. Now, the friend came back asking for a longer version of the jingle and I jumped at the opportunity to redo it from scratch using my usual suspects. 72 BPM, C-major.

First off, thanks for all well wishes last week, while I was under the weather. I'm feeling much better now (I can almost breath without any congestion... so I can hear this week!). But, being out of commission for most of the week, left me playing quite a bit of catch-up. So this submission is very much in the "speed trash" category... I started it with 2 hours to spare, and lost 15-20 minutes to random Logic crashes. I ended up with about 35 minutes to compose and record, and about 40 minutes to mix. That said it was a pretty fun exercise to work with those time constraints. There was a lot of "well that has to be good enough because I can't spare anymore time", which was liberating in a way. It kind of made me one to try one of those 10 minute - 1 hour - 10 hour type challenges... just to understand what kinds of compromises must be made for each length of time, and you know for the very zen like flow state it inspires. At any rate, I hope you all are as happy and healthy as can be expected for this time of year. Cheers all... almost there. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:56:09 GMT

This one was inspired very directly by a few things: 1) The track 'Hide' by Dorian Concept 2) The artist Disasterpeace's general sound 3) A chord progression / riff on keys I've been noodling with for a new song for my band 'Atomic Pines' I like the crunchy, lo-fi sound of Disasterpeace and the idea of an interesting riff or loop from Dorian Concept. I kinda went all out with various layers and automation, leaning into the lo-fi and glitchiness. Perhaps a bit to much, a bit too much crunchiness and not enough time to really balance it out is gonna annoy me. Otherwise, I enjoyed this one. Used my e-piano to play the parts and record the piano sound from. * Piano sound from my Yamaha e-piano (forgot the model) * Ableton bass for bass * Helm, Ableton Wavetable, and Massive for synths * Ample use of Transit, Trackspacer * Gullfoss and Ozone Elements 10 for mastering Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 49 - jegasus - The Empire's Might

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:55:58 GMT

Oh hi there! So nice to see you again! Let me start off with an apology. I haven't been able to listen to almost any of your submissions this past week. Actually, I have been able to listen to many of them, but I was not in a position to be able to stop frequently and comment on them. I typically try to carve out one or two hours to do ONLY weekly beats commenting throughout the week, but this time it just didn't happen. I listened to a bunch of y'all's tunes, but it was in the middle of other activities where I couldn't really stop all that frequently to comment. Anyways, all this to say I'm sorry I haven't been as present or active as I usually like to be. That being said, let me tell you about my submission this week! This one feels considerably undercooked, but I think there's a really cool kernel in here. This feels like a follow-up to "Usurper" since they both have strong "evil empire" vibes. I wasn't able to build in all that much variation, so the song just loops over the same basic 8 (sometimes 16) bar loop, just turning things off and back on. Also, this strongly suffers from too-much-itis. There's just too much stuff going on at the same time and it feels cluttered at times, making it hard to hear all the instruments contributing to a specific section. I originally tried to do the whole only out of the M8's WAVSYNTH engine instruments, but about two hours before submitting, I tried adding kick and clap samples and fell in love with the whole new feel it have the song. It made everything so much more dancy, so damn fun!!! Hahahahaha... I'm also a bit sad I didn't build in all that much variation into the main percussion either - it's basically the same 4 bar loop all around. The very militaristic style sounds from the beginning actually made me want to give this song a bunch of different titles. I ended up picking "The Empire's Might", but here are some other strong candidates: - Power is for those strong enough to take it - Usurper Pt. II - No such thing as a rightful heir - Waltzing to your doom As an aside, I absolutely disagree with the sentiment that power is for those strong enough to take it!!! That's ABSOLUTELY not what I believe in. However, that feeling of "I think that I deserve this, so I will take it" is very much the feeling I got from how the song opens: some corrupt figure simply decides that they belong on the throne so they just take it. If I'm being honest, my beliefs line up a bit more with the "no such thing as a rightful heir", but I didn't feel that the song itself had much of a "rebel uprising" feel to it. As per usual, this was all done on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker. Thanks again for being such a dope and supportive community, folks!!! Y'all really kick ass!!!

Week 49 - miraclemiles - Clown Psychologist

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:50:33 GMT

We're diving deep into the mind of the Inland Northwest's world-renowned clown psychologist, George. Just George. I was contracted to do this song by George's documentarian. All I was told for inspiration was the cryptic question: how many synth players could you fit in a tiny car? My inclination was to ask "how tiny", but I just nodded, grabbed my red squeeky nose and got to work. The director has since rejected my submission. But I still like it, and feel it has its place in the pantheon of clown psychologist documentaries. Just need to find the right scene. › Behind the scenes‹ Behind the scenes So yeah, I'm just clowning around. Sadly there is no documentary. But I would watch one if there was. This one really just started as many things do: with a click track. Playing the e-drums and recording the midi for 20 minutes. Starting slow. Increasing tempo until 116 bpm became the sweet happy spot for a Tuesday. Decided to make all sounds on the Circuit Monostation. Used it in a recent jam with License, and the weekly beat from that jam. Neon Liminal commented he thought it was an underrated synth. I agree. And so I was inspired to play with it more this week. Jammed with that for a long time, along with the live drums, just clowning around. Found some bits I thought I could use. Mushed it all together. Added some extra kicks and extra percussion in Ableton. Made drones on the synth as well to get started on this week's drone-themed Disquiet Junto project, which will be an interesting palate cleanser to go work on after this track. About the clown psychologist thing: I have been doing some improv comedy, and at a jam this Friday, someone made up the character of clown psychologist, which got me laughing. I forgot the person's name, I hope I meet him again. Credit and shoutout to him for helping me come up with a title for this song. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:47:08 GMT

Were so close, I've wanted to just finish this year off but I haven't even tried to do anything new the past few months. As much fun as writing a song each week, it has become more of a burden then anything else. I dread having to do it now but I am grateful for the first 3/4s of the year that I actually tried. Some really cool stuff came out of it and im looking forward to expanding more on those songs next year. I think if I had more time each week, I could maybe have fun with this in 2026 but if im as busy with life as I am now, no shot! haha 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Oof, the creative burnout is real. Not gonna lie, I'm glad when WeeklyBeats is over. Don't get me wrong, I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience, but having to produce something every week drains my inspiration. On the other hand, if WB won't force me to make something anymore, I'm kind of unsure whether I'll produce anything at all. Created this one short on time and rather lovelessly, but hey. Enjoy, and have a great week! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 49 - laguna - Insensible

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:29:28 GMT

A LagunaGFX track made by the numbers, be that a good or a bad thing. I really was glad I finally set up my rack again, so I could complain about how much wasted space and headaches my rack units are while I can do everything in the box. Meanwhile, I had a great time using my run-of-the-mill hardware mixers to overdrive my beat, while doing all my sample editing (mostly normalizing and trimming) in the box. Its a slow process, but week's been kinda sad and/or meh and I was happy to lose myself in the cumbersome workflow of a 90s hardware sampler. I was very sick last weekend, so I skipped WB completely, and I was still fuzzy until Wednesday. I finished this one with at least some reasonable margin. It really doesn't feel like a track. It's more like a collection of loops, or a DJ transition, but I run out of time and ideas for now. BTW, "Insensible" means "numb". Could be roughly be related to "insensitive" when it comes to empathy and stuff, but I was just going for the more physical "I can feel this pinch in my skin" meaning. Doesn't really matter, but... you know, your free Spanish lesson for today :) Have a great week, everybody.

Week 49 - Bunjigram - On Second Thought

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:29:04 GMT

Well, I started early today (not usual for me), but I had a new VST I was excited to play with -- a Steinway D Studio Grand from Addictive Keys (Black Friday Sale). Anyway, I spent all afternoon noodling around with the various presets and trying to adjust to my liking. I recorded a piano solo and then recorded an orchestral string intro from the Philharmonic. I realized my intro and my piano solo didn't jive, but I liked my intro better. After fiddling around and getting frustrated, I just said "Ef it" and deleted my piano solo -- before looking at the clock. Damn, 90 minutes til the fat lady sings. Oh well, it looks like it's back to my old way: I needed a one-take improv. Inspired by my string intro, I played something I could live with. If I had more time, I would layer in strings and other accompaniment with the piano, but for now, it will just have to be filed away with all the other unfinished ideas. I also need to fiddle around with the editing features of Addictive Keys. I thought the piano was a tad bit too punchy, but it worked well enough. Well, Mosaic just showed up for dinner. Gotta go sear some steaks. As always, thanks for stopping by. - RCN 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 49 - tarsiidea - Outward In

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 23:28:59 GMT

Got back into messing around with my Elektron Digitakt and Digitone this week after along hiatus. I always found it hard to turn ideas I come up with on them into songs, so this week I tried recording a bunch of jams to see if I could stitch something together afterwards in Reason. Turned out a lot better than I thought it would, I think all the tracks I've been making recently have helped a lot in sculpting a track even with limited elements. This was all one pattern on each of the Elektron boxes, bringing elements in and out with mutes. I didn't try pattern changes as I wanted to keep things simple and focused on messing around with parameters while jamming to give interesting variations for later stitching together. I recorded the Digitakt and Digitone separately, but not the individual tracks as that gets too unmanageable for later editing. Then in Reason, I took the last jam and added to and subtracted with parts I liked from the other jams, and layered bits in places. I didn't add any extra sounds, only layering and manipulating the recorded audio with filters and some extra compression and reverb. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 49 - MRDRCAT - U_Freaq_U

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 22:51:02 GMT

Someone here (ahem cough PERMAN00B) made me promise to use the Freaq FM in a WB. Things have been Not Going Well with the whole real life thing, and this week they continue along those lines. So instead of the deep dive I had hoped, I got as far as I could on the Freaq FM and did this: I recorded a simple percussion loop on the Volca Beats along with a 4-minute knobfest on the FreaqFM. Then I dumped both WAVs into the M8 and chopped the Freaq FM recording into 46 semi-regular-sized chunks and randomly triggered them in 8-bar windows. The drone was added because a few of the slices were just silent to add space but sounded odd dropping out with just the percussion going. The Beats part and drone are both consistent with each play/render, but the Freaq FM slices change each time with the exception of the very end (I ended the 4-minute session with a deliberate cutoff). Why go through all the trouble of chopping and randomising? Because I wanted things to change far less gradually than the Freaq actually does. I especially love when the noise-heavy slice just shows up. It's not quite 2 minutes long because even that's twice as long as it needs to be to get the idea across. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - Devieus - Power Doodle

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 22:10:18 GMT

We still had some doodles left over. You can't really tell one of them, it's mostly lost in translation, but it's definitely for the better. Not that you know what either of them are anyway, but that's the beauty of the mystery. Some other things I like, the initial melody disappears part-way through and you probably don't notice it. The build-up is very epic; I'm stating this as fact and I can back that up by the reverb increasing as the song goes along. The bit at the end has some weird resonance going on that I really enjoy. I bet I can make the song be longer than it is. Lowering tempos is my thing and... I don't know, 110 bpm feels like the right tempo. The right kind of force behind it, a positive drive. It can work, I don't hate it, but the sounds need a bit of tweaking and it's an entirely different vibe, a lot more solemn and introspective. I reckon the same goes with a higher tempo, intense and climactic. Very versatile. That's it for doodles, the year is pretty much complete, and perhaps so is my contribution. Three weeks remaining, last week was Leega, though she tends to hide that stuff. Valx already sent his regards. If this be my farewell, it's good to know it's an epic finale. - Spider 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - neon liminal - the storm (the pulsar suite three)

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 21:31:10 GMT

Dog crises continued this week, so this was a struggle - not entirely what I expected, but still an intense five minutes I think. First - I want to apologize for not being able to listen and comment on tracks this week, I've just not had the physical time and headspace dealing with all the dog issues and vet appointments and medication schedules. We have a minor setback today but I'm hoping we're still on an upward trend for recovery - Max is just really having a rough time. On that note, I've spent several times more than I make in a month in a week on vet bills so far. A few very good friends have been immensely generous and helped out there, and thank you again, you know who you are. If you're reading this and would like to help, I've still got just the one song on bandcamp - new album within a week or two I hope - but every little bit counts: Neon Liminal on Bandcamp Also, if you happen to be a knitter, I have some knitting patterns for sale - send me a DM on here. This week's track represents the high point for tension in The Pulsar Suite, and the Pulsar-23 finally gets centre stage alongside the Subharmonicon, with a special appearance from a screaming Lyra-8. You will hear the Pulsar-23 in its full industrial, distorted, wailing wall of sound glory, along with a few other friends. This was recorded as a few takes on the modular, then moved into Ableton to edit, chop, augment, fuck around, generally destroy and build back again. A real revelation this round was running the Pulsar into Noise Engineering's Ruina Versio > Desmodus Versio, exploiting Desmodus' ducking regen feature for some disgusting texture and grit. Vocals and a few other elements were added afterwards - as usual, the vocals are all me, screaming into the void aka my entirely un-acoustically-treated-messy studio. And I gotta go feed some dogs. To everyone that's commented and whom I usually try to listen to, again, apologies for the lack of response - I'm hoping to spend tonight and this week listening and replying to everyone. Thank you again to everyone for all their support, this has been one hell of a year. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

So I'm making this track for them, because even though I'm angry, they were nice people. It's just that everything sucks. Except this track.

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 20:59:27 GMT

For a number of weeks now, I have been doing fast-paced, upbeat songs in odd time using chopped samples. I started another one of those tracks for this week, but I could not get inspired. I pivoted to a new project and just started layering ambient loops that I played out using presets. Before I knew it, I had something that I liked and decided to stick with it. It is a simple buildup of layers and I tried to add some movement by automating the pan settings. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - LeBernd - MUCH 2 LEARN

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 20:49:34 GMT

A happy one this time! Been loving this track by fellow M8 user and (not fellow) LSDJ veteran DefenseMechanism: https://battleofthebits.com/player/Entry/69766/ After the last couple weeks very sound design heavy tracks, I was in the mood for oldschool songwriting-style composition. I wanted to try and embrace that sound and make a little tune evoking the LSDJ sound palette, although this is obviously well beyond the confines of the GameBoy chip (I'll tag this chiptune anyway just to spite the purists). It's hard, especially when not already very familiar with the specifics of chiptune arrangement techniques. And while I'm pretty well versed in writing melodies and chord progressions, I feel I could train that muscle a bit more. Felt pretty uncreative after the initial A and B sections (while my inspiration has at least 4, maybe 5 distinct parts). Might have gotten a little complacent with the variation of my music lately. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - Snyderman - The Deep (OPL3)

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 20:48:00 GMT

I've written a lot of loud and excessive music this year so I wanted to take a moment in this quiet December to write something simpler. It's a 3-part modal thing with OPL3 in 3/4 time. The numerology stuff with 3s was not intentional. I got inspired to write something much mellower from my time playing the very chill game "Shinsekai Into the Depths" hence the title but with influences from other soundtracks such as the works of Ryu Umemoto.

This was probably the most difficult week I had coming up with something, started really late in the week and then felt like I was trying too hard to get something going. It all felt very forced. One positive I tried VCV rack for the first time and one of the synth's on this comes from a quick simple patch I put together just playing around with the software. Very excited to play around more with VCV rack, budget way to get into some modular and test it out without too much commitment. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 49 - onezero - Little Nest

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 20:25:23 GMT

Last year I commissioned a builder to make a neck fretted in a collection of just-intonation intervals--24 of them to each "octave." After an entirely-too-long process on my end actually building, wiring, and setting up the instrument, here we have a weekly composition using it. (If you want to see it, it's this one. Body is a second-hand Squier, pickups are Fender wide range, hardware is from various places, neck is from Metatonal Music.) This one...sounds a lot like the recent guitar pieces. I'm finding my way with this instrument. The tuning is currently Bb F C E A D, so...pretty low on the bottom there. Otherwise, things are consistent with recent stuff--just a bit of convolution reverb and compression/eq on the stereo mix. The title comes from the meaning of Kenmare (Neidin), a town in Ireland near the R571 route. (Still going with the roads in Ireland, primarily because the place names nearby are so resonant.) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 49 - BTS - Sanctifying Staff

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 19:37:09 GMT

Continuing my Ambient Jungle/DnB exploration through my old Samples, I decided to shake things up a bit by building the pad sounds in Reason. I built a custom combinator, adding several layers of synth sounds (a mix of FM, additive and other sounds) with a chord player to generate the wide chords. I exported out the pad sounds out of Reason and then went into Renoise to build out an arrangement. After building out the arrangement, I mixed and added effects to the tracks, using separate send to add width to the pads. On the master channel, I used Abberant DSP effects to finalize the overall sound before I exported out of Renoise. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - PeterM - ORGAN JAM

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 19:24:12 GMT

I had the groove for this one fairly early in the week and I hoped to be able to build on that, but then life happened. So it sat untouched until Sunday when I found a few hours of space to try to make something resembling a song. I tried a few things and settled on this organ jam. I recorded a few minutes of my improv and then tried to chop it and mix it up with the M8 into something kinda coherent. It's the best I could do with the time I had. I'm pretty happy with it and I hope to be able to revisit it again later to build on this foundation to make a complete song. Anyway, it feels good to be uploading this after the challenges this week. I hope to get caught up on commenting on all your songs this week too! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

(and i am curious if this plus a diy norns could replace the op-1 for me because two of these things are a "bit" ridiculous.) originally i wanted to continue with the flute sound from last week, so i'll try to continue that next week. also, how is it week 49?! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 49 - myfirstpunksong - If You Come With Me

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 17:56:40 GMT

Thank you all for your listening and your comments and suggestions and listening. I have really learnt a lot in weekly beats from trying out and incorporating things that have been suggested to me. Has been awesome. ALL FEEDBACK ON SONG, MIX, PERFORMANCE, SONGWRITING ETC WELCOME Hoof I'm tired at the upload. This week and last I've been tired by Sunday eve sesh time. I was working on another one this eve but it needed more time so at the last I came back to this one. Came from a riff with a new buddy Carlos. A Mexican who was passing through and we met at an open mic a few weeks ago. We met for a jam and started recording a song. This week we met up again and started jamming with the idea to have more material for our song and this came up. Basically a completely different song haha. I liked it so I decided to use it for this weeks Weekly Beats. Started on Saturday, a session intended just to get drums and bass down. I managed to get the guitars and synth down too. Carlos had an awesome synth sound and line when we were jamming but I couldn't recreate so I just did something else. So today circling back to it I just did some vocals and chopping and mixing. I'm feeling Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Its Blitz era), Horrors, Death Cab For Cutie. WWW I like it and had lots of fun playing this. The synth added a lot in atmosphere and ambience and was super simple. Great to do a different genre than my usual wheelhouse and something dancey. I danced a lot whilst recording this, it was great haha. I did a double bass thing which I think sounds great, a light fuzz and a clean driving one. Was great to enter the studio with an idea with different parts ready to get down. I had video from the jam with Carlos so I watched it back when came to record. EBI I'm not too keen on the second guitar lead. It sounded way better in the jam version but didn't quite work when I came to record. IFF Use drummers from different genres and beats and use them as a starting point, it switches up my playing in a good way and going for things which I don't usually do and using them I think could make for some interesting combinations. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 49 - Paisleyfrog - The Sun Will Rise Again

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 17:07:50 GMT

This one has been in the idea bucket for a while, since about 2020. I was having a songwriting flood around then, and would usually sit on my living room floor before work and kick out song sketches. This one jumped out pretty much fully formed - chords, structure and even melody. It didn't have any words, though - that original scratch just has me singing the melody over the top with "na na na" sounds. I sent it to my wife, and she called it "Scarboroughish", because it made her think of Scarborough Fair. (It's lived in our unfinished song book since then under that name). The music made her think of traveling, so she wrote these lyrics. The entire track is actually built right over the top of that original scratch, using the original tempo (including the slowdown at the end). When it came to turning it into a full song, we both had the same sort of idea, with strings and such. I initially had it overproduced with the additional instrumentation going through the entire song - which oddly made the guitar not work at all. She told me that it was that initial guitar arpeggio that made her think of the lyrics - sounding like a train. That gave me the idea of the slow build on the instrumentation, which I think worked pretty damn well :) Even though the track was built on it, I couldn't directly use the original scratch - it had my "na na was" baked into it. Took me a bit to remember how to properly finger pick my 12. I was going at it a little too hard at first, and it sounded twangy and awful. This guitar needs a light touch, and sitting further back from the mic. Other than guitar and vocal, this track is all Session instruments. I took the opportunity to dig into the chord, type and range variations to break things up a bit. The strings are the Simple Pad keyboard player - after establishing the track, I swapped in a string ensemble sound and backed way off on the attack. The e piano plays arpeggios mostly, and then moves to "freely" during the solo. It got about 90% sounding right - I had to convert to MIDI and adjust a few notes. Also odd with the drummer - you can have the fill amount and complexity turned down to zero, and it will still throw in the odd kick drum fill. Fine, convert to MIDI and delete. One more song to go for the album! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Whis’pring winds Across a darkened land Only light a distant train On the road The minutes seem to drag And the hours may never end But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again And I’ll see you, my friend Like a dream The road just stretches on Trav’ling to an unknown land Fractured thoughts Are in the seat right next to me Weighing on my mind But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again And I’ll see you, my friend Will the road just end Will there be a place to stop and rest Will I find you there and smiling up at me Or just a trace of your voice But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again But the sun will rise again And I’ll see you, my friend But the sun will rise again And I’ll see you, my friend 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 16:49:53 GMT

Insanity that we're down to the last 3 weeks! Where has the year gone! It's really interesting having a musical journal of the year to listen back and feel transported back to that week in some kind of way. I also thought I would be completely burnt out by this point. I definitely hit some rough patches but every time I just made music for fun, not the output, the output followed. Some life lessons to be applied elsewhere for sure. Alright... I save the remainder of reminiscing for week 52. ---- The song ---- I started out with these hypersynth swell chords. Then came up with a cool baseline. Drums are there to do drum things and keep it steady, nothin fancy. I was able to make the parts flow together pretty well and I got a good lift toward the end adding some horn like synth sounds. Those are also 6 wave, single note, hypersynth with a little swarm, clip amp distortion. A different style from previous weeks but I'm happy with it. On to the next! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 49 - Jai Cafarella - Love & Lies

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 16:38:30 GMT

This one goes further back than last weeks... yikes... :| While I was studying music at TAFE in 2011 there was a 'songwriting class' which wasn't so much a songwriting class as it was a lecturer going on about his achievements and dropping music industry names and such. One lesson though, he tasked us with finding our own private place around campus and attempt writing a song in half an hour. The lesson itself seemed like a pointless exercise because once we showed the class what we each came up with that was it, I don't think it even counted towards grades :/ Anyhoo, I digress... the point of that story is this is the song I wrote in that 'lesson', and much like last weeks song, it was a staple of my solo acoustic gigs up until I stopped a few years ago, so this recording serves as it's liberation from the prison of my mind. It's a pretty simple composition so I tried to make it a little more interesting with some new layers rather than go with the original solo acoustic version, and because of that, this isn't quite how I envisioned this song back then, but here we are :| I got pretty lazy in the finish up because I am berry tireds, but it does the job. It's time to put away the wine She is drunk most of the time It's hard to keep control of this She's becoming quite a risk Hazardous and whimsical She can play you for a fool Although I tried to hit the brakes It is almost far too late What is love if you're not loved? Love and lies are you and me You paralise me with your eyes I catch you like a trampoline While you catch me like a cloud Saturated in your lies You know the clock will never yield Give yourself some time to heal I know you think you're having fun But you're like a loaded gun Put yourself inside my shoes I gotta watch your self-abuse What will it take to wake you up? 'Cause I've had about enough Love and lies are you and me You paralise me with your eyes I catch you like a trampoline While you catch me like a cloud Saturated in your lies So here we are, at breaking point I'm sorry but you're on your own now If you can't respect yourself How can you expect it from someone else? Love and lies are you and me You paralise me with your eyes I catch you like a trampoline While you catch me like a cloud Saturated in your lies I'm drowning in your eyes I'm drowning in your lies I'm drowning in your eyes 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Hello there! I'd like to apologize for being a bit slow in responding/listening in the recent weeks. The end of the year and holidays always seem to slow me down mentally. It's hard not to feel a little disappointment/anxiety because I'm barely working on anything during the week. Leaving the last day or two to smoosh out a chord or two before the deadline. Hopefully I'll find some inspiration in the remaining weeks. Here's another ambient paddle that sorta just drifts for a bit. Thank you for listening and stopping by.

I had a good idea for a pirate punk track but got side tracked and went down an exploratory track based on a weird meditation about a dark lake, a large black go stone, and a desert. Don't ask me why. Most sound come from the Straylight NI library, with also some sounds from Pharlight. I love the range of sounds and how cinematic they are. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

we're in the home stretch now. getting close. last week I pulled all of my eurorack modules out of my case and packed them away. this weekend, I chose some modules at semi random, and here's the result. I wanted to make something unnerving and uncomfortable - I think I've achieved that. ...and then after uploading the weekly beats I messed around with some of Ableton's built in FX, namely the echos and found something which dialled up the unnerving feelings moreso. So here's v2. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

It's been a massive week, but on the plus side I had a lot of time to work on this week's WB, and I'm actually super happy with how it turned out! I want to expand on it in the future and make it a bit longer, but for a WB submission I think it's pretty solid! I really pulled out all the guitar and Pendulum-inspired stops to make this epic DnB, rock, anthem, and I really hope you like, it. :) Lyrics: I’m wide awake And I can barely feel my pulse But I won’t scream if I can help it With every step The world around me starts to fall But I’ll stand tall And I won’t ever look back Set me free So I can breathe And I won’t ever look back 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 04:56:16 GMT

THE LOUDNESS WARS episode one: Psychomancer loud maximalist cyber surf rock hardstyle dub funk sample platter OTT anti-electroswing midwest emo stereo nitpicky weird bullshit A psychomancer is like any other mage (i.e. witch or wizard) except instead of manipulating the natural Gaian elements, they specialize in emotions. Unlike fire-based or electrical magic, their spells aren't visible in midair; you only see them when expressed by the target creature. Sleepiness, anger, SURPRISE, bliss, hunger, comfort, apathy, silliness, determination, and even horniness. As you can imagine, these spells can cause a bit of a mess, since it gives you the power to transmit an idea and make the recipient think it was their idea. Very messy. Especially since psychomancy can be embedded into media. So it was forbidden by The Academy. Horatiu posted a video of the sound of a bunch of drums hitting quarter notes, which was where I started with this track. the electric guitar you hear is my nylon string guitar recorded through the mic processed to heck and back. the voicemail message you hear is real, but I edited his pauses to make him sound more awkward. I have uploaded the uncensored illegal version at the following web 4.0 address: https://tri.mush.network/uploads/psycho … Fg5FBQ.wav If you liked this track, you might also enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWzkK7tUjaU > hey asshole. just so you know, your nitpicky bullshit just oh he talks over sometimes your nitpicky weird bullshit i told gekgek about it when she got home and now she's fucking crying.

Back to writing during breaks in work again this week. I don't know if this skirts with acid stuff or not but I wrote the bassline by making it so that it'd constantly cycle through a 6 note offset using tables on the M8 and modulated stuff randomly. I quite like the effect. Everything else just fell into place with what I hazily remember of some genre conventions. Enjoy. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Hey crew! This is a fiction, didn't occur to me yet! :) Everything is going not bad here. Tried to approach this track as a live performance take as a one man band (Which I did excepts for the back vocals...) Did capture the performance with my cell phone as well, it is not one vid a week for me, but I'll have done one at least!!! Some Ableton Looping. With only 2 notes it ain't THAT BAD to play a little synth line + drums + vocals... I was actually impressed that I could build this up pretty quickly. The little vocal line just came up like that... Enjoy! Sorry about the abrupt ending, didn't know how to "close" this one. Take care all! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 49 - DonutShoes - Noises For Humans

Sat, 07 Dec 2024 01:57:33 GMT

A few months ago my mom bought me a cheap white noise machine online. It's very crappy but it has a headphone jack out and humorously, 8 sliders on top to bring in the volume of noise and recordings. You can make a mix of white noise, thunderstorms, waves crashing, nighttime bugs, as well as musical drones like bells and weird voice-like instruments. Today I felt like making some ambient, lofi noise. I recently bought a plugin called Exp Filtertable that's really fun and incredible. I passed the white noise machine through multiple filtertables to color the noise in an interesting way, and then used my favorite reverb plugin Lair by Aberrant DSP. Then I hit record and just started messing around with the sliders on the box. I like how at parts it sounds fairly dungeon synth-y Fun way to spend a few minutes and also record something for WB.

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 03:20:32 GMT

This week I started building a track that was giving me Massive Attack vibes. I played with it a bunch to get a nice bassy sound, but didn't know how to make it into a fuller track. I figured I'd try to put some lyrics to it, so I took some bits I have in a note on my phone about "Laminar Flow" and affecting change when without being seen, and recorded them for this track. I don't really like the sound of the vocals, but didn't know how to clean them up and make them more interesting. If I have some time, I may redo them with festival again. I have a busy end to my week, so had to wrap this up early and didn't get to develop it as much as I'd like. Even though its a bit rough, please give me some constructive feedback! While the original idea was for a song called "Laminar Flow," I kept to my theme and found the Esperanto word for "deviation," devio. › Lyrics‹ LyricsProtruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Surreptitious changes, movement underneath Streamlined, normalized, acting in deceit Hydrostatic pressure, smooth consistent flow Affecting unseen changes, few of us will know Protruding nail, hammer down Outlier, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Outlier, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Surreptitious changes, movement underneath Streamlined, normalized, acting in deceit Hydrostatic pressure, smooth consistent flow Affecting unseen changes, few of us will know Streamline, normalize Streamline, normalize Streamline, normalize Streamline, normalize Protruding nail, hammer down Protruding nail, hammer down Outlier, hammer down Outlier, hammer down The image below is a heavily modified version of Kraaiennest's Stokes sphere diagram, CC BY-SA 3.0: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 49 - Cosmic Cairns - Hapax Legomenon

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 01:38:46 GMT

I was playing around with a free online text analyzer recently and learned something new. A hapax legomenon is a word or term that only appears one time in a text. I liked the ring of it, so decided to use it as a song title. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Scrolling through the book of the world Looking for an answer I think I found it It only appears there one time So easy for your eyes to pass all around it And miss the point Of this sad joint Don't forget to bookmark the page It would be a shame to so quickly lose it Protect it from the scum of the Earth And anybody out there who would abuse it So many would Claim to be good Misguided fools of the highest sort Armed with their most fervent wishes and caravans Of believers in their righteousness and holiness Run it all into the ground In all the billions of pages I've searched Nothing ever jumped out that was quite like it But some foolish editor seems To have come along once and tried to strike it From the record Seemed to absurd I continue skimming along Hoping somewhere else there's a different story Lost in the deep pages of time Maybe to be unearthed in an old quarry Encased in stone Keys to the throne 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

I'll be making about 1 song every 3 weeks instead of 1 song per week, but I still want to spend the same (or more) amount of time working on music each week.

Week 48 - miraclemiles - scally wagging

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:59:12 GMT

The word scallywag, popped into my head this week and made me smile. I gotta find out where that comes from, its a fun one. Definition I looked up just now includes "rascal" or "scamp" (also fun words). Maybe I was remembering how my grandma used to call me those sometimes, or I was thinking of my son when he was a younger since this song features him on the tenor saxophone. So I put down this basic groove, then got my son to come play sax. He helped write these chords and we recorded for a while. Later, I wasn't really feeling it so I started layering his sax, adding a lot of reverb and echo delay. I liked where that was going, but ultimately ran out of time and inspiration to go a whole new direction so it became a hybrid if the layered dreamy idea, and the beat over pretty chords we started with. Did my best to make into something. The song ended up being a bit of a rascal itself. Some potential though, and some fun was had. Another week done, almost the end, wow. Hope you all are good.

Week 48 - Tomatron.Jones - The Impulse - Fractal Silhouettes in a December Sky

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:58:02 GMT

Another stream-of-consciousness sound collage track. This one leveraged the Korg Minilogue synth, most of the synth and bass was recorded on that. Lots of other sample chopping, pitch-shifting, manipulating, and tweaking. The first few chords (samples) were very reminiscent of Disasterpiece and had a very video-game sound to it. This is a smaller part of a larger composition. Feels like I kinda ran out of time to address a few things. * Korg Minilogue for synth and bass * Ableton bass synths and Wavetable for more synths and bass * Drum, bass, percussion, pads, sax, texture, etc. samples from Splice * Valhalla, Transit, Transit 2 plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total time: ~5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

too much to say about this, so i'll just let it be yours. it's a sincere track and so i hope it hits you like a ton of bricks and makes you call your mom or hug your cats. y'know you could die at any moment, you don't know. i mean that, i'm not being edgy, i'm telling you the truth, no cap, like a dad. made with flstudio, massive x (big rumbly sound + aggressive bus compressor), cs-80v (woodwind sound, god what synth), grandeur piano, session strings (i don't love these but they worked here). pumped into lots of verb (ya think?) and then light bus compression to glue the whole mix. i wanted to do something where I came up with a simple motif and really try to roll it around until you squeeze out whatever its got. the phrase is, in F-major, F, Bb, A, C, F. jammed out with that all morning and then clipped out the good bits, and mashed it all together into a track. i love it when i think to do something and then actually sit down and work it out. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:33:17 GMT

Another week of getting some samples from my Dad's old records, most were taken from a soundtrack of a movie I've never seen. From the dialog and song titles it would appear Jabber Singh is one bad dude. The dialog translates to the hero asking "who is Jabber Singh?" and then the villain responding in the third person "Jabber Singh is not crazy!" Huge appreciation for my hip hop heroes who create the most delightful beats finding the wildest samples. Found it very difficult to find samples that would work together, I recorded and made about 20 to 30 loops from a few records but only ended up using about 5 or 6 of them. Still a fun process, might try to do one more like this as I still have about another 30 records to go through. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Hey friends, This week's weekly beat is a UK Style house track I have been working on! I had a lot of fun practicing automation with the synths and working on cleaning up my mixes as well. Let me know what you think :) - Nick 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - As_Yoesual - Stankface

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 23:16:47 GMT

I needed to vent some steam and frustration with this week's track. I'm definitely going to revisit this one once Weekly Beats 2024 is done. "How much compression do you want?" - "yes". I think there's much more potential to be had in this track. I want to have more roughness in the center, and I want to play more with the automation (I've left over 40 of the nearly 100 lines of automation untouched just because I ran out of time). But that's what I get for forgetting I had a lot of obligations this week. Regardless, I dig this track, and at the very least, the kick should leave you with some stankface when it kicks in. This is getting closer to the chaotic tracks I love to make, yet I still feel miles away from getting it to the quality I want to achieve. Looking back at the start of this year and the stuff I put out more recently, I can certainly tell I have improved and grown. But the perfectionist in me wants more and wants it better. hehe. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - dancramp - Title Music for an Imaginary Sci-Fi Platformer

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 22:56:18 GMT

Another circuit tracks / double Tal U No Lx (through iPad/AUM) track this week. A simple piece - effectively another extended single loop. On final listen, feels like the 2 iPad synths are a touch too loud and would sound better without the kick on the last loop, but as always it’s a bit too late and I don’t have the energy for another export! Maybe when I come to remaster everything next year… As the title says, title music for a game that at the moment is completely imaginary! I need a project for next year though, this might be part of it… 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Took an older track I made and pitched it down with the SP404. Sampled into the M8 and made embellishments and beats. Resampled into the KP3 for fx. Sampled back into M8. A pinch of Hydrasynth. KP3 and SP404 for punch in fx fun. Received the KP3+ in the mail this past week and have been learning a lot with it. Still trying to figure out a good workflow with it. Always fun to perform with stuff. Here's a clip from one session: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - Kedbreak136 - The Last Stand

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 22:51:54 GMT

This track was inspired by a rewatch of Dune, and the last stand of Duncan Idaho. However I got sick on Sunday and could not really take the track to where I wanted to. I still had fun with a lot of Kontakt libraries and a Mongolian singing splice sample pack. That was fun, but I need to come back to this one. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - onezero - Kythera

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 22:46:32 GMT

A bit of an awkward time of year--on the positive side, we've had a few days off, and a chance to relax, though there are still vexations: a few people with colds, cleaning out a house (still), and low humidity, which now means little painful areas at my fingertips as I tried to do some fingerpicking for this piece. With everything going on, I limited tracking to late Friday, late Saturday, and a couple sections this morning. While I started it in 4/4, I also subconsciously changed key fairly quickly, editing out one persistently glaring note. In between Friday and Saturday, the music I was hearing changed from 4/4 to 5/4 against 3/4, adding a challenge in arrangement. Could I make that flow? You be the judge. (Also notable is that I let myself uncork the emotional content a bit during the two solos. Those might be my favorite parts.) Three tracks of home-built Res-O-Glas guitar (body kit from the late, lamented Guitar Kits USA, an Airline Belmont shape, Lace Alumitone P90s, Epiphone varitone circuit...) into the UA Volt. No effects other than convolution reverb and the light compression/eq on the stereo channels. The title comes from the minor planet 570 Kythera. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - neon liminal - the transmission (the pulsar suite two)

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 22:03:31 GMT

Dog emergency this week, so finished this one down to the wire and only had time for two takes from the modular setup. This is the second part in the "Pulsar Suite", and I'll let the story tell itself. A little tense, this one. All my SOMA devices were involved this week - Lyra8, Pulsar-23, LyraFX on the modular and there's even a guest appearance from ETHER. It's been fun doing this hybrid approach - I'll patch the modular and my gear till I have a sense of the 'parts' and how I plan to perform them, record a few live takes, and then bring it into Ableton, chop the shit out of it and usually cut it down from around 12 minutes to a more comfortable 6-7. I think this process bakes-in a more organic, perfomative aspect - and saves me time doing a lot of automation and modulation in the DAW. It also allows for happy mistakes, and experiments. The interference on this track was a really weird journey to create, and at times it sounded much more aggressive than I wanted - and maybe still will, come next track, we will see. At the same time, my feel for this suite of tracks is that they'll progress towards more "composed" as I go along. I suppose that's the writer in me wanting something of a satisfying ending. Stay safe, everyone. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - Paisleyfrog - This Scourge Can Be Wiped Out

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 21:49:30 GMT

Very little time for music this week, what with traveling for Thanksgiving (and not really liking anything I made en route). Over the week I was revisiting a few of my favorite industrial albums, Greater Wrong of the Right and Downward Spiral. This track arose out of trying to duplicate some of the sounds in I'mmortal (and failing LOL). But, it led me to the sound I got here. Ended up with a heavy Ministry feel. And since Uncle Al is retiring, someone's gotta pick up the slack with angry political-esque music :) Tons of guitar layering in this. Mix isn't the best, and my chorus doesn't hit as hard as I'd like, but that's what comes from doing a song in a few hours (started Saturday night, finished Sunday morning). The guitar "solo" at the end was just sorta strangling the guitar (and breaking a string in the process). Oh well, keep playing. Which of course meant that I HAD to keep that take :) Biggest fun was accidentally deleting my sample track, and then working for another hour or so. In the process, I got to learn that Logic has an amazing project import function that allows you to specify down to the track of what you'd like to import - rolled back my Undo list to where the tracks existed and saved a version, then rolled back to current and saved. Imported the tracks from the other version. Done. The track pretty much built around the sample, which is from Reefer Madness (public domain). I thought it had a great legalistic mob rule feel, and everything grew from there. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics to lay the foundation for a nationwide campaign by you to demand by law such compulsory education because it's only through enlightenment that this scourge can be wiped out Indoctrination in the nation Explanation is not coming Not coming Not gonna let you They’re all gunning people down And the shirts are all brown They’re brown They’re coming to get you Time has past We will not last The clock is ticking It’s ticking It’s ticking Not gonna let you Time to go and make a bomb It won’t take long There’s boots for licking For licking They’re coming to get you Only way is what they say And if you don’t you’re gonna pay You’ll pay Not gonna let you Cause their rule is with a fist you’ll all go on a list A list They’re coming to get you They’re coming to get you They’re coming to get you They’re coming to get you They’re coming to get you Indoctrination in the nation Explanation is not coming Not coming They’re coming get you They’re all gunning people down And the shirts are all brown They’re brown They’re coming to get you Not gonna let you Not gonna let you Not gonna let you Not gonna let you 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - mukti - DRAKO

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 21:16:02 GMT

This week, I spent a lot of time playing an HD-2D remake of my favorite JRPG from my childhood, Dragon Quest 3. My brother suggested I sample it, so I built this week’s track based on that idea. There are samples from Dragon Warrior 3 on the GBC (the original way I played the game) and horn and vocal samples from the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake. All samples were recorded from my Steam Deck to my M8, using Gambatte to get the first few notes from the overworld map in DW3. Some of the vocals were a bit difficult to isolate, but I think I mostly worked it out. There’s also a GameBoy start-up sound and a riser sound that I got from Graz's M8 Tools Vol. 1. All other drum and bass sounds were made using the instruments on the M8. I struggled a bit on the mixing and levels, so there may be a few odd bits. This is one of the most sample-heavy tracks I’ve made, so any feedback would be appreciated! Since this track was themed after Dragon Quest I titled it DRAKO, the Esperanto word for "dragon." The picture is a Dracky statue from Dragon Quest Island in Awaji Island, Japan. The original pic was taken when I visited in Dec 2022. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This week is all about pursuit, pursue your passions, your love, pursue your dreams, pursue the highest aspect of yourself, pursue all the things all the time. I do hope to find all these things someday, but in the mean time, I am just trying to find comfort in the chase. I do hope each and everyone of you finds these things and hold on to them when they appear. › Show Spoiler‹ Hide SpoilerDigitakt and Analog Rytm did all the heavy lifting. Synths were primarily single cycle waveforms looped and shaped on the Digitakt. A couple of sub tones and drums from the Rytm to round out the rhythm section. The string bass was a single shot bass sample from Goldbaby with some chorus from the Digitakt. Found some vocal samples to resample through the modular and eventually into the Digi to finish things off. A quick stereo out into ableton into what has become my default final mixbus just to raise levels and provide some glue compression but I haven't been spending any time on the final mix, just get something that sounds good coming out of the Digitakt and give a bit of balance and compression in the box.

I then added drums, synths and other percussive elements as I built out the arrangement in Renoise.

My recent stuff here for some weeks now has been more or less just simple jams done in a hurry, but now it seems I might get a bit more time for this before the year is out. Now I tried to focus a little more and do just one track of soloing and keep things generally more direct. This one developes quite slowly as usual for me, but this time I tried to pay more attention to quality rather than quantity. Regarding the playing as well... I think this one has a nice athmosphere and nice slow build up, so I might develop this a bit further later on... 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - jegasus - A Fighting Chance

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 19:47:55 GMT

Oh hi there! Sorry, you caught me by surprise, I wasn't expecting any visitors! But please do come in and have some tea, I just put the kettle on. Oh of course, I can most certainly tell you about the song I made this week! This is a song I can imagine playing in a post-apocalyptic Terminator-like scenario where vast swaths of humanity have been destroyed by a sentient machine uprising, but some of us are still putting up a surprisingly strong fight. This song would be a reminder that there can still be hope in the midst of so much death and destruction, that victory is still possible. Actually, not just possible - LIKELY even. The one definitely suffers considerably from "too much at the same time" syndrome, but I love how all these pieces overlap one another. If you pay attention, you can catch the interplay between the separate voices and it sounds super friggin cool. This is admittedly difficult to do given just how much is always being thrown at you, but still, I really enjoyed how it came out. Probably needs someone who knows what they're doing to give it a proper mix, hahahaha... This was all put together on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker and uses a combination of samples and the M8's internal synth engines. On the diary side of things, I've been lucky to be granted PTO for most of the week, so I've spent a lot of time chilling with family, which I sadly don't get to do anymore as often as I'd like. It's been a truly fantastic few days and I've been fortunate enough to get A LOT of music making time. So much so that I think I might have enough WB contingency projects for the rest of the year! These are mostly finished projects that just need a teeny little bit of polish. I still intend on making fresh stuff every week, but in case I can't, it's good to have these fall-backs up my sleeves. Oh yeah, partially related: I made another "My Cousin Vinny" inspired song this week! This time it was for the M8 Community Jam, and you can check it out here. I think it's one of the weirdest and most fun ones I've made so far, mostly because of all the vocal chopping stuff I was able to do. Sorry for the shameless plug, but I really couldn't resist, especially after having made a similarly-themed song for WB during Week 16. Anyways, I'm excited to hear what y'all have been up to! I hope everyone (who celebrates it) had a great Thanksgiving, and to those who don't, I hope you had an awesome week regardless of the holiday =P And before I close this out, I just have to say: how is it possible that WB is almost done? Y'all have been such a crucial part of my musical journey this year and it's very sad to know it's coming to an end. I'm immensely grateful to everyone in this community. Being exposed to the vast array of genres and styles that people make here has really opened my ears and made me grow in really cool ways. And obviously, seeing y'all's kind comments on my simple and weird music makes me feel as though I'm a part of something bigger. Because I am!!!! I seriously cannot stress enough how you have inspired me to grow, develop and sharpen my music making skills. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Wasn't excpecting to be back this week, but dug back into an old demo that just didn't quite hit the spot. Chorus wasn't quite right and verse just sucked the energy out of the song. But the vibe was there, and I enjoyed the structure (and all the heavy bits) Reworked the chorus into something I really enjoyed, and thought I had the verse down, but after tracking it, still wasn't feeling it. Was hoping to have it done this week, then went to the in-laws for Thanksgiving. Kept batting it around in my head, and thought I had a verse I really enjoyed. Found a few mintues today to at least re-tab the drums and guitars. Still not my favorite, but better. Imported the new drum tracks into the last session with the hopes of maybe getting to rerecord guitars before we got our Christmas Tree. Hit play to line the drums up, and the new drums over the old guitars was 100% the vibe I was looking for. Gave the drums some light tweaks, and here we are I love happy accidents Gear: Fender USA Telecaster that I got for free (that's a story for another time) Dunable Cyclops Dingwall Bass Kemper for guitars and bass (Revv and Darkglass profiles) Superior Drummer 3 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - jwh - escape to the 3rd green house

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 19:26:55 GMT

i kinda overdid it a bit last week w/ the long song/ bandcamp release/ listening party/ etc, so emily issued a challenge to limit myself to 3 tracks for my song this week. :) i had fun putting this one together & i'm happy with the result, especially considering it was all recorded direct (well, it went guitar > Heather Brown "The Blessed Mother" > Warm WA73 pre > UA Volt, into Reaper) instead of miking an amp. this was 1 track of the Mustang bass & 2 tracks of the Clydesdale aluminum-neck electric. i did cheat a little bit by copying the bass track and pitching the copy up an octave to mix in with the main bass track. still on that convolution reverb trip. also, really loving Airwindows' ToTape8 plugin. if you aren't familiar with Airwindows, check it out. Chris seems awesome, and nearly everything is released as open source and patreon-supported free software. oh i almost forgot... the title this week is a nod to Green-House. i've found their music to be very calming & inspiring. i listen to them most mornings and the 3rd song on their 1st album — Parlor Palm — particularly sends me. ok! hope y'all are doing ok out there. thank you for listening & for all your kind comments.

Week 48 - snoopy over the hills - CYCLES (INTERLUDE)

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 19:26:53 GMT

This track started with a guitar sample I made years ago while experimenting with pitch-shifting on the Eventide H9. Despite its quirky time signature and key changes, I’ve always wanted to give it life. Layered with synth arps mimicking the original line, plus my mallet section - music box, vibraphone, and glockenspiel - it came together with a deep sub, lush pads, heavy reverb, and a touch of RC-20 warble and noise. There’s something hypnotic about it that makes me want to listen on repeat. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - boorch - W48: Cometary Trails - Finite Distances

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 18:44:39 GMT

I recently acquired a Sonicware LIVEN Ambient Ø. As (I) expected it has similar quirks and unconventional (or rather... questionable) design choices as the other Sonicware devices (like Sampltrak or Lofi XT 12), especially when it comes to the sequencer. Despite my slight disappointment, the "sound" was inspiring enough to come up with a quick jam for this week's "weeklybeats". What I like: - Straightforward workflow. Easy to come up with decent ambient/drone ideas rather quickly. - Decent reverbs. Don't expect something close to Blackhole or Microcosm, but shimmer is nice. - Blendwave Synthesis (which is essentially the name they chose for an array of morphing bread and butter wavetables) is implemented nicely - No menu diving. Everything at your fingertips. Sometimes you need Shift or Func key-combos, but at least it's not Mortal Kombat fatality level combos like most Roland devices (or Lofi XT 12) have. It's not "Elektron Level" tight, but then again, this device does not have (or need) that sort of complexity. What I don't like: - Arpeggiator works only for "live play". So if you sequence chords and turn arpeggiator on, they will play as... chords. Such a bummer, especially when there's already a nice, straightforward random probability implementation that works with the arpeggiator as well. - There's no real arpeggiator rate control. The only control you have is the "note length", which is sort of like the "pattern speed" on Elektron boxes where you can set 1/2, 1/4 etc, and this defines arpeggio rate. - Only way to "record" arpeggios is... well... live recording, which literally "bakes in" the notes arpeggiator spat out. As far as I can see, there's no real quantisation as well, which makes recording arpeggios even more challenging. - Filters (like other Lofi XT 12) leave a lot to be deserved. They sound dull, but at least can be washed away with the nice shimmering reverb. here's a video of the performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Vn1CH2hH0 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

It's always two steps forward, one step back right? If were lucky, its not three steps back! Resist the resistance so the resistance doesn't resist your resolution :D In a bit of a rush on a Sunday morning late for band practice. This one is a wall of sound approach and I leaned heavily on my fx chains I've been working on this year to tie it up nicely with some filter sweeps and such.

The prompt was "Red Light Green Light" and all I could think of was J.A. Bayona's 2007 masterpiece The Orphanage (El Orfanato). So I sampled it. Other than that I had zero plan for this one, just kind of a mood, which I didn't achieve. I wanted it to be quietly menacing, but ended up with my normal hectic randomness.

Week 48 - Cursory - All Unsaid

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 17:55:22 GMT

Happy Week 48 folks! Away from home for the holiday so the recording setup was pretty wonky. Definitely felt easier to lean into a lo-fi sound. Short and simple one this week, the guitar part has been a noodle for a couple of weeks, as it often goes. Everything else was written/recorded pretty quickly Thanksgiving evening. Recording made me realize this is quite a finger/thumb-killer of a tune, or at least, it was after a few takes. Main guitar + vocals into one microphone, two takes of this panned mostly to either side. Then 2 other guitar tracks that come in at the 2nd and 3rd verse. One of those songs that with parts that sound like lots of other songs to me, some I’ve figured out are Try Again by Big Star, Ocean by Fruit Bats, and It Was Enough by Blind Pilot. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Gathered round on a sunny cold Leaves are changing every day Feeling the yearning for a summer The yearning stays the same In that changing of seasons All that hides in the folds Everything you never wondered All unfaced, the unknown Never ask the right questions To hear what’s on your mind Hope you know that you could tell me And believe I’d listen kind Careful balance, all unsaid I’ll arrive to where I’m led See you later, pay that fare Until next time, you take care 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 15:43:10 GMT

Sold a bunch (including M8:02 and OPZ) to grab the new TE hotness, OP-XY. This week was all about making sure I can still do my usual OPZ stuff on it. This is all OPXY with the TT303 doing the repetitive Morse code bit processed straight through the opxy. There’s some noise on the line in (which is only really noticeable at the end) but I should be able to work around it. Most sounds are stock OPXY samples/engines except the piano which is my own M1 house piano pack I hope to release soon. This week was all about making sure I could do the usual OPZ stuff on the XY. Hopefully next week I’ll break the mold a bit and showcase some of the deeper functions Mastered in Logic for iPad as always. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - myfirstpunksong - Here & Alive

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 14:51:46 GMT

FEEDBACK ON ALL ASPECTS VERY WELCOME. VOCALS, MELODY, SONGWRITING, PERFORMANCE, PRODUCTION. (It helps!) - Diary entry style one on being in Vietnam's cultural capital one month now. Leaning into the sense of chaos and unpredictability with this one, in a way to try and mirror my life and this city. Done in 2 sessions, yesterday Saturday and today Sunday. The idea was one from earlier in the year, jammed with my buddy Andy Holland, who wrote all the lead guitars which I recorded yesterday based on some video recordings we made early Oct when jamming. He also came up with the alt drum thing where it speeds up that I like and think really brought a lot. My rough ideas benefit hugely from talented collaborators. Shoutout to Suicidal Tendencies for this one as its a total Institutionalized homage, a track I discovered through Senses Fail's cover a decade ago. I dig it. I didn't quite get the urgency in the vocal I wanted but as explain, I'm tired. It's Sunday night and I blew through energy at band practice earlier and came down with this weeks beat left to finish. WWW I got started on this one yesterday, which was a win over last week which was done in one session. Having just one more session working on it makes a huge difference, but regardless I'm happy with just getting one done and the ideas down. Enjoying playing around with vocals a bit and mixing and finding sounds. I think I'm narrowing in on a sound I like and the next step will be to fin a way to recreate it live. EBI I think better when I freestyle journal first and then kinda read it out. Rather than trying to just straight up improv over the top which this was kinda a mix of the two. Freestyle is good to get the vibe but for the words I think taking a little more time and thought makes them better. I think I could've made this much more reflective and interesting and commenting on the sights and sounds and what makes the vibe of the city. For a final version I think I'd do some tweaking with structure and variation, but glad to have the idea down if only for posterity and to submit again. - Look forward to hear some of you my fellows tunes this week. 4 weeks to go! Thanks for listening and commenting y'all. Be well! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I used some guitarloops in here, which were manipulated through effectpedals and then used for this recordlathe. the song is monotone, but could be the background for something to overdubb with. I did not want to make it, but maybe one of my dear listeners want to use this for a creative experiment. Still I am proud to be able to cut my own records, even in a 10 minutes range, without too many artefacts or failures. Let me say, I learned a lot this year, how to optimize the recordlathe manufacture process with a ninety year old device. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

i had the flu this week, had to stay at home and was too sick to play an instrument. by chance I made a longer recording session last week, of which I was able to take some parts out and create something new. there are different ingredients I took: M2K7 gave my some new loops for my ehx-looper, which I was sending through my effectpedals, used the MPC1000, where I successfully made an SSD-card upgrade, so it runs silent and faster, a little OP-1 session and fragments of several ipad apps, in which I explored samples of my own and the wonderful bulgarien folk choir.

Week 48 - Jai Cafarella - Blink

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 13:30:51 GMT

This one has been on the to-do list for too long. Written around 10 years ago, I played it at a few solo acoustic gigs until I stopped gigging around five years ago so it's just been floating aimlessly around my head since. I've procrastinated so hard on this one because the vocals and guitar are the primary feature but as time crept on, my voice isn't quite what it used to be and I play guitar a lot less than I used to, so I haven't felt confident enough to capture it as I really wanted. On the flip side though, I've been plagued by thoughts of songs such as this being lost if I keep putting them off until it's too late, so I slapped my procrastination around a little to make sure it happens for this years WB. I wouldn't say this is THE version I always wanted due to my own limitations, but I'm glad it can now exist outside of my head. Barely hanging on to a friendship I can't save Where did I go wrong? My all is all I ever gave you Where do we go from here when you never want to be around me? Sentimental fool Just another no one you don't need If I leave your sight you will forget you ever knew me Don't blink now or I will disappear Close your mind and I'm completely gone Tell me how it feels to have forgotten how to feel I hope you had your fun Had me believing it was real Don't blink now or I will disappear Close your mind and I'm completely gone I will play your fool until I disappear Close your mind and I'm completely gone 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - thgirwnhoj - 48 Weekly Beats 2024 Nowhere To Go

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 12:41:45 GMT

This track started off with a sample hunt. I did a quick internet search on what the most popular key is for electronic music - not thinking there is such a thing - and went with one of the first results I saw: A minor. I then went on all of the sample platforms I have used before and looked for what I could find in that key, starting with vocals. I use one group of vocal samples that were already pitched down and a group of higher ones that came dry. I have been making pads using pad or stab samples I drag into Granulator III and I do very little processing on the other stab samples I find. Even though I found plenty of samples that sounded good, I wasn't sure how I would make any of them work together. When it came time compose something, I chose the time signature of 11/4 because I haven't worked in it yet, but I have worked in 7 and 4, and 6 and 5, so I thought I could come up with something. The 11 beats give the rhythm enough time to groove so that it doesn't feel like an odd time signature. Even the "four-on-the-floor" kick drum sounds natural to me. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

A lesson in understanding that sometimes a piece of music is going to be what it wants to be, not what you want to make it. No matter what I did, no matter the creepy shit I threw at it, this track wanted to be a calm slowly evolving drone. I went with a synthesized base for the drone this week which is unusual as I will typically start with an organic/acoustic base. For the higher drone it was a ambient guitar in Kontakt. Given that the tracks I've written over the past few months have mostly been under 2 minutes it was nice to stretch out a bit with this one. Some calm as we enter the final month.

Discussed view that I may not share the same level of enthusiasm for intimate content as others. Told views on family closely resemble my Vietnamese heritage rather then my other side. Examined more with Shrink about these themes. Feels alienating. Met with M to work on DO. Blocked out set ideas and themes. Built narrative and visual bases to work with Saw Horse. Excited about direction. Less Delorean and more Overdrive. Feeling empowered. Thanks Giving with family. Drove out to home with AL. Brother's wife was sick. Could not attend. Sent love. Long talks with cousins and aunts. Older cousins doing well. Different paths but good. Shared a lot about why I have kept making music over the years and they were curious about my journey. Younger cousins doing well. Talked about thing effecting their lives. Tried to acknowledge their progress and encourage them. Youngest a bit avoidant. Tried to challenge and point them to opportunities without pushing them too hard. Very proud of all of them. Late talk with VTC about their new relationship with G. Proud of them and understand the personality change. Showing their best side. Helping another person sort through similar experiences with death in marriage. Talked about intimacy and how age effects it. Advised as best I could. They may not see the positive change or acknowledge difference but I do. Met with wife's Family and had hot pot outside in the garden. Younger cousin reached out for opinions on table top games :) A pleasant surprise. Anxiety for youngest cousin and discussion on mental development with AL. Family history. Trying to build family solidarity for when Aunts may pass. Waiting on contract stuff. Enjoying CostCo experiences with wife for no reason. Enjoying a bit of shit posting on blue sky. Reddit trash AITA videos. Meeting with band as usual on Sunday. Too much food. Fully Off of health restrictions for the holidays. Fixed bike after riding to AL's parents. Seems to be helping with knee joints with supplements. Reviewed old music I made and listened to old records from highschool. Noticed an interest through line all the way to current time. Substantial, edge pushing, body related, and singular vision. Talked about philosophy and believed hypothesis about human experiences with AL and how it informs world view. Black Friday enterprise and voyager box sets. Love sharing DS9. Read Jodey Kendrick Igloo interview and identified with that a lot. Ghost from my past on IG run in. Shared movie obsessions from childhood with wife.

Percussion with be live and more improvisational with our drummer and vocal layer will be sorted by the vocalist. Built out simple generative garnish for the track (not heard in upload) to help keep tracks different at the live show. A lot of live tweaking an ableton dub siren preset instrument and recording it.

Sun, 01 Dec 2024 07:54:56 GMT

So I'm kinda feelin' the ambient soundscape type thing... probably gonna do a few more to close out the year... but I decided to try something different with this one. Normally for these, get a good pad or granular texture type patch going and then just close my eyes and play... and repeat that with new elements until I fill up the spectrum (or am fully entranced by the piece). But, with this one, I decided to plan out the structure and harmony first, then orchestrated it with various weird soundscapy things. I'm not sure if I like it yet... still too fresh in my ears... but I guess we'll see over the next week. At any rate, it was a good excuse to spend some more time exploring the new stuff from Komplete 15. So far I'm digging all the new instruments. I'm hoping to (finally) get caught up on listening, commenting and replying. Going through all the trainings and documentation and things for my new job has been sapping a lot of my reading and writing energies... but that's all starting to settle down now into much more "normal" routine type things... so hopefully I will have the energy to engage with all the WB hommies more for the last month of the year... crazy... 4 more weeks ya'll... all... most... there!! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I suppose I could have got a more snarey sound by layering a tone and noise envelope, but I didn't.. Kick was also surprisingly hard to make loud enough, even with heaps of hard saturation.. not sure what the deal is there.

90's Drum and Bass vibes. Been listening to a lot of this stuff recently, mostly stuff like Photek, the Metalheadz compilation, etc. Could do with a bit more variation but this is weeklybeats after all. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 48 - SQF - spectral roar W48

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 16:09:30 GMT

Here we go week 48! **** I'm toying with the idea of doing a weekly beats themed podcast/radio show in the off season. I'd feature a different artist each week, listen to a handful of songs with potentially an interview about your experience doing weeklybeats and/or process, etc. Let me know in the comments what you think about that idea. **** On to the song, My regular process is to just make a bunch of stuff and then once I have enough I start piecing it together into an arrangement. I started out with what I'd call the chorus that starts at 1:58. I knew I wanted to build to it but wasn't sure how. I built the staccato 16th note section that ended up starting out with. A less frantic synth section that starts at 55 and then kind of a prechorus section to build to the chorus. Once I had it arranged I added some variations to the melodies and some risers to delineate the parts and tweaked the drums a bit. I feel like this breathes really well with some good ups and downs to keep it interesting. I really like the symphony of sound in the chorus and the melodies that play around each other. I had fun making it and I hope you have fun listening! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 48 - Endless Blue - Decent

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 16:02:52 GMT

Holiday week gave me a ton of extra time to work on this one. Stuck with a single sampler instrument for all the synth parts, just stretching its legs and getting to know how to work it. Very happy with the feel of the beat, just quickly locked in. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - glittercritter - On my latest Wikipedia vortex, I learnt the popular belief around John Harvey Kellogg's cereal invention was just a myth

The track from UFO 50's Night Manor - the first bathtub scene, has been on my mind the last few days. After sequencing my version of it and listening to it on on loop, it reminded me of the fight victory track in FF7 (after the initial fanfare) and you get to see what resources a monster dropped. So I added that element in there for lols. Made on the MC-101 with some LSDJ samples. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 48 - impbox - Artifical Life Breaks Free

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 13:11:50 GMT

Made on my new DS sequencer inspired by GlitchDS that I've been developing, and Digitone 2 for the 303s and FX Sends. Have mostly been working fixing bugs and adding features to the DS sequencer this week, added support for slicing and sequencing breaks which is really fun, I really like the interesting rhythms I get from this cellular automata sequencer. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 48 - PeterM - WAVESYNTH MAN STAGE 2

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 00:55:13 GMT

Another step toward chippiness this week. I'm aiming for a Megaman style theme here. All M8 wavesynth instruments and mostly pulse and noise waveforms. I was going to try to have no effects too, but I just love them too much it seems. Biggest challenge for me on this one is the high end getting completely overwhelmed. I think that is kinda part of flavour of this kind of tune, but it's tough to keep it from getting too piercing. The EQ helps a lot but I had trouble finding a balance between too sharp and too muffled. Biggest success would be actually writing a bridge and having it lead into a key change. With no samples, it allows to easily mess with the global transpose setting. I found each time I picked a new key, the song sounded amazing. Then I'd change it back to the original key and it would sound amazing again too! Anyway, that inspired me to try to work a key change into the song and I'm pretty happy I challenged myself to do that. I also like the B section where everything gets really spacious. That was fun to put together. Anyway, I really enjoyed putting this one together. Things went a bit more as planned this week and I made fairly consistent progress which always helps to keep my spirits up! Looking forward to hearing what you all came up with this week, as always! ;) Cheers! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 15:37:22 GMT

Tried to get a headstart on this week and then procrastinated for ages. Thankfully I took a few days off work for other reasons so I spent a bit just charging through the writing of this. Nothing is perfect but I like that it's done and I tried some stuff. Enjoy 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 48 - Dank Receptor - Bongo Plano 3

Thu, 28 Nov 2024 03:06:12 GMT

Electro boppin' on the Nanoloop/Gameboy. I'm getting the hang of the pattern/song paradigm of the Nanoloop, as well as the navigation between the different parameters of the voices/patterns. Making music like this is pretty immediate and fun in all its limitations, and the silly sounds lend themselves well to a kind of naive, robotic beats. Recorded live to mono, then slightly mastered + a couple of edits done in Ableton. It's noisy and it's lovely. _ ___ ___ _____ ___| |_ ___ _ _ | . | .'| | -_| . | . | | | |_ |__,|_|_|_|___|___|___|_ | |___| |___| 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 48 - Cosmic Cairns - Ready Set Stop

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 19:19:19 GMT

Well, 2024 has been a really bad year. It's just been one thing after another. Last week my in-law's house burned down. They made it out okay, but they lost everything including their dogs. The house itself was deemed a total loss. And as if that weren't enough, my mother-in-law keeps having falls and has been admitted to the hospital after hitting her head. She suffered from vertigo even prior to the fire, but it seems like maybe the stress of the situation has made it worse. She's doing okay right now, but they're keeping her in the hospital for the time being. Anyway, it's just felt like a dark cloud has been hovering over us for a while. I managed to knock this instrumental thing out. I didn't feel like doing anything with lyrics this week, but it did feel a little cathartic to make this. Music has healing powers and participating in WB has probably been the best thing about this year honestly. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 48 - zeropass - Abiito Rursus

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 19:13:30 GMT

This one goes to some different places. I'm putting effort into making my compositions a little longer, because I think next year I am going to conclude my weekly songs, and instead try a new method. I think I've landed on making 16 songs per year, because I want to spend more time with the tracks, and spend more time fleshing them out and perfecting them. So I am thinking that on average the songs I make will be more like 4 minutes rather than my current songs which are mostly 2 minutes. So part of that is making parts longer, but also putting more time into transitions. Thanks for listening! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Feeling all 47 of the previous weeks this time. Starting to look forward to WB being done for the year so I can pivot to some other things. ANYWAY, this week is right in line with my previous stuff - some FM synth emulation, electric guitar, and some other samples for texture. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 47 - xavier marques - mm..comida

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:46:27 GMT

mm..comida ("mm..food") I was messing around with a trumpet sample to the point where I got that main lick that plays from the beggining. I though it was quite fun that a trumpet ended up sounding like that. I also had an acapella sample that I played on top of this track and it fitted like a glove, unfortunately, I can't post it due to copyright issues but it should be pretty obvious who it was by the title of the song. I edited this version to be shorter because without the vocals, it just doesn't sound the same and it felt too long with the few different arrangement variations I had done to fit the vocals.

Week 47 - miraclemiles - Fried Milk

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:44:47 GMT

Created this one mostly from sounds from a live jam with License on Friday night. This was our first jam and we liked it. We went out for some food and tried some fried milk. It was like a delicate custard breaded and fried, finished with a honey drizzle for little sweetness which it needed. Watched the Wicked movie this weekend. I'm a sucker for a musical and I thought this was well done. Was briefly inspired to try and create some grand melodies today but I settled back into my chill little beat and glad I did. Editing today was calming process, interspersed with house work, and exercise. I added the ambient sounds and more chordal tones, chopped some things, cut it down to size and arranged. Had this prepped today for my son to play some sax on it, but he didn't end up feeling like it. We agreed we'll work on a track for next week, should be good since we both have some time off for the holiday. So, the Sax Son will return next week, I'm ready. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 47 - scy - In a Rush

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:41:16 GMT

"I'm gonna set up the server on Friday, then do the WeeklyBeats track on Saturday and Sunday." Yeah, sure. In reality, I worked on automating the server setup all of Friday, then decided to bin the whole (still not even half finished) automation stuff on Saturday, set the server up in a pretty dirty fashion on Saturday, moved stuff to it on Sunday, added monitoring, and then had about four hours left for WeeklyBeats. Definitely not my best work, but it's a track. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 47 - Bunjigram - Box 47

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:39:27 GMT

Sorry I missed last week. Almost missed this week too. Sat down at my keys at around 5 pm today and noodled something out. Didn't have time to go back and fiddle with it. It's a one-take improv, like I did in my earlier days before I started using Ableton and all kinds of plugins. It might be a bit on the soft side volume-wise since I didn't have time to do a lot of mastering. Not one of my better works, but this week it's more about the commitment to produce something, anything, and not have an empty box 47 on my page.

Week 47 - jbarket - adrift and untethered

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:38:50 GMT

another shot at building the techmo machine. I think this is a technical step forward, but a musical side step at best. this one evolves on its own significantly more--right down to potentially changing the core melody everything is built around. I've got a few things on my list to increase the groove, but more than anything I think this needs space. I got super inspired by jam & spoon and one of the things that immediately struck me with a lot of their tunes is how full everything seems while still being pretty sparse at times. the audio is from gemini 8. short version, first attempted docking with another space craft does not go well, and they just tumble end over end. neil armstrong and david scott are ice cold discussing and then fixing this nightmare, and it felt like a good backdrop. thanks for listening 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 47 - horatiuromantic - Live Improvised Song at CPH Listening Room

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:38:30 GMT

This time I present to you a song that I improvised live with an audience, at the local open mic. It's a song about meeting your neighbours and doing something you've never done before! I had zero idea what I was gonna do the moment I sat down at the piano, so this is first-take live raw creation that you are able to witness! I find it vaguely cringe but it is what it is! :D Mainly the point was to do it, and see what happens! Some people were singing along and clapping so I think it was a major win even tho I don't think I ever wanna hear it again hahaha! Here it is unlisted on youtube, for your eyes and ears only! I have been having gigs n stuff and I haven't had much time to spend composing new music, been spending all my time organizing and figuring out life stuff. It's really fun to do music a bit more seriously and I would love to talk about and share my process and what I learned / am learning from it, with those interested, so let me know if you are interested in the same! Or also if you have done it yourself, I'd love to exchange experiences! Since WB2024 is soon coming to an end, if you would like to stay in touch with me on your fav social media I would be very happy! I would love some more youtube subs but any other media is fine by me! Anyway thanks for listening and sorry for the crappy song :D it was made technically last week on sunday at like 23:00 local time so I didn't have a chance to upload it then, so I upload it today instead cause I didn't make any new songs this week....

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:10:44 GMT

I re-imagined another of my older songs in a similar style I've been doing lately, a slow, heavy, synth-driven ambient or cinematic sound, similar to Abul Mogard. I had done this one in the style of Lorn in week 19. I tried to see if works well for a slower, more cinematic style, almost like Hans Zimmer. I also did the reverse / pre-verb trick of the synths and bass from the last previous weeks. I don't think it works quite as well as the 'To Rewind Time' melody from previous weeks, but it's not bad. I'm on a slow, heavy, pensive kick lately. * Bass and lead from Ableton instruments Wavetablea & Helm * Transit, Trackspacer plugins * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: 4 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Wow, what a struggle, Its been a minute using the Analog Rytm and I kept loosing all my kits when I turned the rytm off and back on, sometimes the kits were there the next time gone and I had to start from scratch. I finally just kinda gave up and went with what I have. Can't say I am super happy with this week. To be honest been in a bit of a creative slump the last couple of weeks. The mix is meh, I lost the will to finish after losing all my kits when I went for the final mix and lost all my custom sounds for the last time, I quickly grabbed some Rytm presets and went with that, this mucked up all the levels, but at this point I just didn't care anymore.

Week 47 - BTS - Vice Symbols

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:04:51 GMT

For this week's track, I dove into some Ambient Jungle music. For the pads, I used the chord generator function to create a chord set that would work with the basic beat that I had in mind. I then doubled the part using a FM8. After exporting the pads, I went into Renoise to start building the sample list that would make up the track. I started building the basic arrangement, adding drum fills and break downs as I went. After setting up some effects and automation, I mixed and mastered the track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 47 - jegasus - Haunted Basketball

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 23:02:17 GMT

Well hello there, music making comrades! First of all, thank you so much for your kind comments on last week's submission! You've all been incredibly kind even though the song had such harsh sounding instruments - especially that beginning. Anyways, moving to this week! I'm super happy how this one came out!!! After submitting last week's tune, I started a bunch of different projects and got kinda far in them but none actually felt like they had enough "meat" on them. I was starting to get worried I wasn't going to have anything on hand for this one. I think I started the sketch of this submission on Thursday or Friday night, and it started with just one of the little melodies. I felt it sounded a teeny bit medieval, so that's what I named the file, saved it and went to bed. Yesterday night (also in bed) I spent some more time with this and was able to flesh it out quite a bit, but it ended up losing its medieval edge and just became rather dancy. It still felt like it was missing something, so I added a fun kick drum and cranked its volume all the way up. The kick drum ended up a little distorted and sounded like a basket ball bouncing on the ground. I then added the tinkly degraded piano, which made the the second half sound spooky and haunted. Finally, I threw in a one more section which ended up being my absolute favorite - the part around 1:40. I thought "well, I've played the entire melody so far on key, why not play some off notes?" and it paid off SO DAMN NICELY... I am in love with that little section. As usual, all made on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker, and it tells me I've worked on this for about 3h15m. Most of the sounds were created using WAVSYNTH, one of the internal synth engines, the only exceptions being the kick drum and the piano notes, both of which are sample-based. I look forward to listening to what y'all have been up to!!! Wait... It feels weird to say that I look forward to listening to something. Irgh... I know that's how you're supposed to say it, but it feels strange every single time I do so. Anyways, byyyeeeee!!!! CHEERS!!!! PS: It is impossible for me to write something musical that's also basketball related without thinking about this incredible SNL sketch.

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:57:51 GMT

Back to a bit of a celtic vibe this week, and another song closer to finishing the album. :) Yet another song that's never been recorded but was written 6+ years ago. What's particularly fun about this one is that it's mostly my wife's song - melody, lyrics and structure. She's not necessarily an instrumentalist any more, but she also mapped all the chords. She's proud of that :) The first scratch file she sent me for this was an a cappella - it was in key, and held perfect tempo for the entire song. I believe I called her Ringo after that :D Initially, she sang the main part, and I came in later. The problem was that the melody got too low for me - and if we shifted the key to where I could sing it, she couldn't sing her part. So, we traded. Problem solved! (It’s still not exactly easy to sing. All the octave jumps!) I wanted a full band sound on this one. Percussion-wise, there's a shaker, tambourine and bodhran. Instrumentally, there's 12 string guitar, fretless bass, mandolin and pennywhistle. I recorded the guitar first, and then overdubbed the rest of the parts. Click? We don't need no stinkin' click (but it's not like I had a choice about that - Smart Tempo freaks out with 6/8 time). › Lyrics‹ Lyrics You blew in my life with a rush of desire Clearing the fog from my brain I basked in your presence like warming in sun And the joy that seemed to remain As we tangle and part through this passionate dance I can see how your eyes never cease So before you blow your way out of town Can you answer my question please Can we try this thing together See what it will be Can we take a moment to ponder And try out you and me I know that you said you’ve been burned in the past And you’re wary of loving for keeps But the way that you smile when you look in my eyes It’s not only my heart that leaps I want to see if this thing we have Goes beyond the passion and fire Let’s see if this thing that’s between you and me Goes a ways beyond desire Can we try this thing together See what it will be Can we take a moment to ponder And try out you and me Lie with me Through this moment that we’ve captured here Let’s drink in The fire we discovered so near You don’t want Me to hang out for too long a spell I can’t stay I’ve poisoned one too many wells Can we try this thing together (I just shouldn’t stay) See what it will be (I’ve tried many ways) Can we take a moment to ponder And try out you and me (Can’t hurt you and me) I’m not asking for promises, trinkets or rings Or things that you can’t yet profess I don’t want to hold you here captive in chains When your heart is looking for rest But just think for a bit about hanging around And stepping away from your plans I’ll travel with you down the road you traverse If you’ll just take my hand Can we try this thing together (Well maybe I’ll stay) See what it will be (I’ve tried many ways) Can we take a moment to ponder (We’ll just have to see) And try you and me (‘bout you and me) And try out you and me (See About you and me) Can we try this thing together See what it will be Can we take a moment to ponder And try out you and me And try out you and me 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:39:17 GMT

My husband suggested the title. I used two synthesizers, and had a change of meter gradually increasing tempo with a sort of dog whistle dirge in some sort pointy F# minory key. Then I brought bits of the jumpy dance from the beginning and ended with the arpeggio that was way too pleased with itself. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Well this one started promisingly, and that's all the farther I got. Between wrecking my knee, finding out my work position is being eliminated next month, and failing to repair my partner's car transmission, my schedule has been pretty packed this week. Oh, and I have a cold. But I'll eventually land on my feet (once my knee heals and I get some PT in). Percussion is all various gunshots I recorded at a local shooting range. I'm not a gun person, but they make noises I can use! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 47 - As_Yoesual - Intermission

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:20:02 GMT

I need to give myself more time / need to find more time for my weekly beats. The track started with a 5/5 (five to the wife? XD) kick and started building from there. There are actually a lot of non-regular loops going on; some have seven bars, others 13, 19, 2.1, etc. In the end, I decided to remove one 5-bar high hat because it didn't mesh well with the regular 4-bar hat, but I still gave the 5-bar version some space where it was possible. As for the title, it felt like someone would play between sets when they still needed to set up gear or when the crowd needed to wait for the next artist or main show. Either that or when one needs a quick toilet break during a long set XD Considering I didn't give myself enough time to tinker with the track, I think it worked out nicely. 5 weeks to go! we can do this! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 47 - snoopy over the hills - I AM TIRED

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 21:15:27 GMT

This week's beat feels like the soundtrack to running on empty. Work, family, winter – it’s all catching up. I’ve been struggling to find structure in my music-making and procrastinating until Sunday nights to pull it together. You can hear it in the roughness, the unpolished edges. But here’s the thing: I’m still here. This year, my focus has been on my mental health, and I’m proud of how far I’ve come. Despite the exhaustion, I’ve been more productive than ever. I’m stable, I’m growing, and I’m not giving up. The finish line is in sight, and I’ve got big plans for what’s next. For now, I’m pushing through, step by step, beat by beat. This one’s for everyone feeling the weight – you’re not alone. Let’s keep going. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - that_ranjit - Grey

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 21:10:10 GMT

Cleaning out the basement this week and found my old shitty guitar. Noodled around a bit and then just started recording. I like the weird dissonant feeling these chords create. At one point I played around with adding rap vocals (sampled, def not my own) to the beat, and it was actually so sick--but I decided against it in the end. Overall I think this might be one of my favorite hip-hop type beats I've created, I think the melodies and ornamentation worked out well. I used the M8, Hydrasynth, and SP404. End of the year is almost here! Let's keep it going strong. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - mukti - FLUGI

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 21:10:02 GMT

Super busy again this week, traveling to/from Atlanta for a week long conference! I brought my M8 Model:01 with me, and didn't remember to sync all my samples and instruments to the SD, so worked without my normal sounds. 90% of this track was made on the flights to and from ATL, but changed the arrangement at home. To kind of theme the track around my flight, I generated some vocal samples from the scripts the attendants and pilots read during a flight. I also threw in some other one-shot/loop samples to add some more color to the track. Overall, its a bit chaotic and repetitive (as usual!). I think there's something here, but not sure I found it - I'll definitely want to work on this track again in the future. Any feedback to help improve on a second version/new track is appreciated! Keeping with the flight theme, the title of the track is the Esperanto word for "to fly." The short clip this week is a glitched recording of the takeoff and landing from ATL > PHL. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

A few weeks ago my son wanted to do a performance for the family, little did we know this little 8 year old had some serious beat boxing skills. He said he likes to practice it when he is alone. Last week I decided to record his beat boxing into my iphone and chopped it up into a drum rack in Ableton. All the drum, percussion, and little vocal effects come straight from his mouth. I have no idea how he makes some of these sounds, but shouldn't surprise me too much as he is always making some kind of sound effect from his mouth. Super fun and enjoyable track to make with him, love you Sohil! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Hellooooo! Like every week for the last few months, I've been doing my track on Sunday evening, and whatever result I get, I post! I think I like this one, but much less than last week's. I'm still working with SBAM. I used a bit of Battalion at the end, and I used Brian Clevinger's latest plugin, which will be out very soon, for some audio processing. Imaginarium was the name of a place I went today with the kids just near my town, where an artist is making gorgeous sculpture with wastes! Bon appétit! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - drab - Tumultuous Dreamer

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 20:46:43 GMT

A bit of a mishmash but I'm pretty happy with it. My goal this week was to work on a more compositional take to the drumming - i.e. trying to write drum parts in each section that highlighted certain parts of the rest instead of only laying down a background groove. It's far from amazing, but it's a clear step forward for me on this aspect. The arrangement is def a bit random; but I think it mostly works. Also hit the limiter a fair bit on this track, and really like the way it makes the chords swell out of the leads, even if that effect is done to death. Happy week 47!

turn up the volume for this one because the mix is a bit quiet.

I kinda want it to go more into a lo-fi house direction if i muster the strength to brush it up later. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Too many music projects this week. I got pretty far along and then got to a point where I had to switch gears so the ending is pretty half baked. A lot of influences from 80s/90s techno, as usual for me I suppose. Instead of the usual OPLL variants, I used the OPLL-X since it has some heavier synth presets.

helloooo week 47 I finished this one up with my new m8 model 2, so stoked! (selling my model 1 if anyone in the WB community is interested) I found this cool rhythmic sample that I carried throughout the song. I paired some pad synths with a nice bass line that keeps things moving forward. And then a more energetic chorus with some melodies that build well. I'm happy with this one. The chorus was resurrected from my efforts the following week that I just couldn't get to come together. Always nice when you can complete some good ideas into a finished song.

I feel there’s way too much going on in the high end, and too much at around the same frequency in the “chorus” but as always I ran out of time to rejig that part… maybe just removing some parts would have helped!

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 18:25:14 GMT

this track came out of discussions around music theory, and some of the deeper ways i think about music. the idea i'm working with here, is that each interval type has a circle(s) (like the circle of fifths), and you can base harmonic structures on them. I'm using the rings of diminish 6ths. That creates 4 circles, each an augmented chord. then noodling aronnd with that. the 1->dim6 leap is straight out of star trek. if i made youtube vids i'd call this vid, using the star trek interval lol (with astonished looking face pointing at the enterprise). i feel like it sounds like the discovery or unlocking of ancient technological artifacts on other planets (total recall maybe), or scientist working alone in a lab, late at night, creates an amazing breakthrough. i think because of they mysterious-positive vibe of this track, it's solarpunk. an optimistic, utopian vision of the future where we all ride bikes, live off of sun power, and do designer recreation pharmaceuticals. made in fruity loops with Mellotron, Grandeur, and Harmless. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I was at the side of her bed in the first night. And when the opioid receptors were getting free, I caught it on the phone: 15 minutes of Paulas singing, when she was awakening. Paula was always in my studio, since my first weeklybeatsong in 2014. So it is time for her to have a song of her own. For me it was hard to listen so many times while mixing, because I react to her sounds instinctly and sensible. This is my Q-Rosh song without Paula, because I liked the background too. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I wanted a calming backgroundsong, which I also recorded on a record-lathe version as Wilcox raw-cats, here on weeklybeat this week, without paulas singing. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 47 - Tone Matrix - Adiante

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:09:23 GMT

This was the track I was working on last week before I took a left at Albuquerque and ended up with "if only". I honestly didn't have much oomph or energy to get myself hunched at the computer too much so I did some minimal edits to what I already had and just decided to move forward. I really hope I can bump my head and wake with some newfound energy to close out the year strong. I feel like I'm cartoonishly stumbling to the finish line. **insert looney_tunes_sfx_library here** Tanks fer listenin, I appreciate you stopping by <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 47 - Jai Cafarella - Float With Me (Sea Of Memories)

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 16:44:43 GMT

The base idea for this (the rhythm piano pattern) is some random thing I've had sitting around forever, originally written on guitar and recorded to my super awesome and advanced BOSS BR-900CD. When I decided to sell it because it wasn't the all-in-one hit making machine I thought it was going to be, I unexpectedly had someone interested in buying it the day I listed it so I hadn't had the chance to export anything off it yet. Panic! I had to manually 'bounce' stuff by playing them on the BOSS with an audio out to the computer and captured crudely in Audacity, even having them wait around a bit while I got the last bits I felt were worth hanging on to. Fast forward to this evening, the song I planned wasn't an option because of other commitments, and this idea was the first one I clicked on in the idea vault, so it's rough and rushed but it's a thing that now exists in a better form than it's original source. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 15:51:04 GMT

So I spent most of my week preparing for a live set using LSDJ, GlitchDS and Octatrack and MC101, recovering from socialising post-gig and then attempting to build my own implementation of GlitchDS with features I wanted for using it more. I didn't leave much time or energy for my Weeklybeat, but I decided to try out my new GlitchDS thingy to make a track, it's a bit underdone and way overdid the OT reverb, oops, wasn't that audible on speakers and that kick is pretty annoying. Running the headphone out of the DS into the Octatrack, left and right channels are processed differently so I can pan sounds to control which effects they should have. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Saturday was such a lovely day though so I decided to fly the drones for a bit and even edited the video on the same day. Was a bit painful tho, because I need to learn Davinci and boy anything but the color editing is such an afterthought. Here it is: 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 47 - PeterM - CONTINUE YES NO

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 13:36:56 GMT

I tried to take a step towards chippiness this week, which I don't have a lot of experience with. I somehow felt it overwhelming with possibilities and thus I had trouble finding ideas that worked for me. I experimented with many ideas and abandoned most of them, so it felt like an unproductive week when I consider the output for the amount of input that I gave. Anyway, I like this style as a listener, and perhaps I underestimated the challenges involved in making this type of music ... or maybe I just didn't have the good fortune of stumbling onto enough good ideas. I have noticed that my song writing seems very heavily tied to chance! Sometimes I just seem to luckily get a good idea and it leads to a good song, and other times I just don't find anything despite lots of searching. Anyway, despite struggling with having to discard musical ideas all week, I do like the result! It feels like it needs some more variety ... but y'all know I say that every week, so take that with a grain of salt. Let's just say my music is not lacking in "focus" haha! This is all M8 instruments this week ... and I think all Wave Synth too, giving it that classic M8 feel! ;) Thanks for listening! Are we only 5 to go now?! Amazing ... but also I'm almost getting a bit sad thinking about it ... 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sick for most of the week. Caught the sickness from partner. Stuck bed for 3 days. Mostly slept. Met with contract client. Instant anxiety. Seems we have an agreement. Short term under the table work. Talked with AL about it. Good warm up. Rain storms. No productivity. Lack of sun effecting mood. AL working late nights so left to self. Fully recovered on Saturday. Cat Ruby has been hanging out more with colder weather. Took her to the balcony to see the rain. Hunting time is shortened now. Worried about her health. Sun came out on Saturday. Walked around downtown. Picked up full Sound Toys VST suite and some extras for black friday. 4k Blade runner on sale. DO meeting canceled w/ M. AL looking at travel cases for me. Went to a redwood grove. Looked at venue and walked around nature. Impromptu brunch and book shop visit out of town. Talked about how we perceive others evaluation our selves.

Week 47 - tarsiidea - Skating On Dreams

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 13:07:12 GMT

A chill ride at 3am through Tokyo streets on my skateboard, exploring abandoned streets and alleyways. Neon signs whooshing by and reflecting off the rippling water of concrete canals. The only sound the rattle and crunch of my wheels on the pavement, and the cool wind whipping by. At least that's what this track conjured for me as I was making it. I wanted to do some vocal chop sort of stuff this week, so played around with playing a choir synth through a trance gate to see what I could come up with. Came up with a cool loop with the drums and then built this track around it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 47 - Kedbreak136 - Not R-Type

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 12:58:06 GMT

It was Sunday and I was out without any track. Fortunately, my youngest was playing the Snes emulator on his switch and there was R-Type! I played it a little and of course could not make it past the first three waves of enemies. Things don't seem to be improving for me. But at least, it gave me an idea of a track. Chiptune Shoot-em-up, though the result might be missing the frenetic vibe required for this kind of tracks. There is a baroque synth lead, so I guess it makes up for it? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 12:33:40 GMT

This song sandwiches a 5/4 breakdown between two build-ups in 9/4. I wrote the song starting with loops in 9/4 and then worked with each loop to adjust it to 5/4. I tried to put more work into this track earlier in the week, but I still found myself falling behind by Friday with only the two sets of loops to show for it. I threw a quick arrangement together that night and slept on it. When I revisited it the next morning, I was pleasantly surprised with how far along I was. Sometimes I just need a little break from a track I'm working on in order to move it forward. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Doing a year of mostly eurorack focused tracks has been very interesting. Plenty of fun, some disappointments. All worthwhile. Honestly, I'm keen to sink deeper into the syntakt after this though.

Week 47 - neon liminal - a twinkling light in the void (the pulsar suite one)

Sun, 24 Nov 2024 05:52:19 GMT

Six weeks to go, came far too quickly - at the same time, I'm pretty burnt out! I recently acquired a new pink friend, a SOMALabs Pulsar-23, and it's both amazing and overwhelming, but mostly amazing. I can't believe how good this thing sounds. And the learning curve is deep, but it takes very little to get inspiring sounds out of this thing, so I plan to learn it, deal with being burnt out, and make some fairly relaxed music for the next five weeks. And thus begins The Pulsar Suite - a five part suite of ambient space music, with a little narrative along the way. This week began with a twinkling light in the black of the Coal Sack nebula, the tides of a stellar wind, and a voice in the dark. I'm working from my modular setup, with the Subharmonicon on main droney chords, some piano from Wavestate running through Morphagene and Mimeophon, and the Pulsar-23 creating some heartbeats in the dark (with effects from the modular). I didn't actually sequence anything this time - setup the signal paths, improvised the performance. Voices and some extra sparkled added after some heavy edits in Ableton. The remaining parts will probably all centre around the modular but we're gonna bring in some other friends, like my Lyra8, who hasn't had a chance to play with his new pink friend yet, and maybe even dust off the Hydrasynth. And then the last week of WB I'll hopefully make something special. Anyway, it's been a hell of a ride this year - I hope you enjoy this one. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Thinking of my first car today for no reason. Its remnants are still on the planet somewhere just like everything else - the molecules and atoms that once composed some long lost or decayed physical thing are still here. Shpongle and William Blake got me thinking about this last summer and I think its a curious thing that save for the conversion to energy via fire perhaps, everything is still here - dinosaurs, my first guitar, people Ive known who've died, my old Chevy... In some form. So I picture (in an abstract sense) a parking lot in the sky with this soundtrack where that old Impala is sitting, waiting for me to get in, drive to practice and meet up with my bandmates - who also had old Impala's. Somewhere there is a picture of us in a real life parking lot posing with our cars on a December night in Chicago. Its here, somewhere... 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

This week, I reunited with my beloved Deluge (you know I've been distracted by Digitone II lately) and I remembered how everything just "flows" when I try to "drone" using Deluge. There's definitely some special dust sprinkled over the filters and the saturator on Deluge, so that's why I'm always drawn to it. Especially the "Drive" filter is very performable and simply feels like a proper "ambient instrument" in itself. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - Minnamari - A Day When You're Alive

Thu, 21 Nov 2024 10:15:37 GMT

Lyrics ----------- I dreamed you died My dearest child My child I screamed and cried I screamed and cried In the dream, I woke to the darkest night I screamed and cried Your feet outside the door Annoyed me before Forcing me to awake too early Wearing your cute little smile But today, oh today What a wonderful smile What a wonderful sound Those little steps of yours, Coming to greet me To a day when you're alive Last night I had the worst nightmare I have ever had: dreaming my child died. Waking up to hearing my child's steps was like entering paradise. One of those cases where a dream shows you such a horrible alternative that it makes you appreciate your life very deeply. I'm still crying today, because that dream felt so real that I have to process the experience of the death. It felt like I actually experienced my child dying. And this song is another way of trying to do that. Yesterday I was playing with my child by this same keyboard where I wrote the song now. My child was testing out different dials and sounds and left it at these Celestial Pad, so I decided to use the same sound in the song. Hug/care for your loved ones today. This is a day when they're, and you're, alive. P.S. If I disappear from WeekleayBeats for the final weeks, it is probably because I have welcomed another child to my life and need to focus on that...I'm actually 38 weeks pregnant with the due date at the beginning of December so the baby could come any day now. We'll see. Maybe this dream was connected to processing these experiences/emotions of what my family means to me. Anyway, thanks for all your wonderful music and keep going. Hopefully I can join more, but we'll see. I'll leave this note here just in case. :) P.P.S. A few days later: baby decided to come, so I will probably not take part in more weeks for quite a while. I'm writing this a few days after giving birth (which happened later the same day I wrote the earlier P.S note, funnily enough). Writing this with the baby snoozing in my arms. So this will be my priority for a while. Just being with the baby and with my family. Thanks for this year! It was awesome to take part. Looking forward to joining another year, probably not next year but further on. Hope you can enjoy these last weeks and have fun with it. See you later! (: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - Cosmic Cairns - Katydid

Wed, 20 Nov 2024 19:20:12 GMT

I think as I've gotten older fall has become my favorite season of the year and I decided to write some lyrics for this one that often suggested autumn imagery more so than making literal sense. I also utilized some recordings of windchimes I made on my phone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hands in the soil Keys unlatch the pumpkin patch Tea kettles a-boil Apples bloom and thunder booms Gray clouds roll in Sheets of rain pour down again Deep puddles begin To turn dirt red as they spread Katydid come creeping crawling out Amid the crops and fields of hay Slither by the scarecrow scream and shout Katydid not know the way Copper leaves fall All around the dusty ground As they hear the call Seasons turn and bonfires burn Breeze starts to blow Currents swirl weave and whirl Candles all aglow Soft warm light all through the night Bees zoom through the orchard heading back Honey dripping in the hive Out behind the old abandoned shack Chrysanthemums and zinnias thrive As the first frost Settles down on quiet towns Nothing has been lost Some things go so new things grow World still spins On its axis it relaxes It is time again Nature changes rearranges Earthworms burrow deep inside the dirt Waiting for their time to shine All the does and chipmunks stay alert Overhead the stars align 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 47 - eleventhstage - Chill

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 07:23:52 GMT

It feels a bit weird to say that I want a "break" from weeklybeats this week but that is how I felt. So, I put together a drone piece using my 0-Coast and Softpop2 patched together in a way I still don't fullu understand, controlled by ableton (through the RK006, finally making somewhat good on the idea of connecting all my pieces together). Threw a kick on there and then added the cymbal for a bit of spice. Automated some FX and here we are. Uploaded as soon as I got home from a nigthshift and I was still not the first uploader somehow. Enjoy, I hope. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 00:01:30 GMT

Well, as the late upload might indicate, I really ran this one down to the wire. I spent most of my Saturday studio time working on a school project, and I had a couple idea in the Tracker Mini and the Deluge, that come Sunday afternoon, I just hated too much to work on, so I decided to do a bit of a twofer with this track. On the one hand it is slapped together lofi, so WB track check; also I just upgrade my Komplete bundle to the new version 15, which came with a bunch of new sounds and instruments... so trying out a bunch of the new stuck check. The only think here that's not an NI instrument is the wooshes in the transitions, pretty much everything else is NI, and I think everything but the drums is new to Komplete 15. I'm enjoying the new instruments a lot. Alicia's Electric Keys I think sound really nice, and oh man, Sway and Glaze 2... lovely. All in all I don't hate it, but I was mixing right up to the upload deadline on this one, and I think the mix could still use some work, but done is better than perfect. Hope all is well in your respective corner of the universe. Mine is starting to settle down and all the new routines are starting to build up... soon I might even have time to just sit and chill... ٩( ᗒᗨᗕ )۶ 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 47 - laguna - Nublado

Mon, 18 Nov 2024 00:01:30 GMT

Rainy and dark here in Madrid lately. Week's been busy and while I was planning for a very "hiphopy" project, complete with vinyl beatjuggling (well, my lame version of it) I discovered my Native Instruments Audio 4 DJ soundcard was faulty. Frankly, that gear isn't exactly cheap, but I find their products are not an example of durability. I turned last minute to an ambient, Berlin School type jam, using Reaper. The project was quite suitable for "four track cassette treatment" so my stems were ready and ... I discovered I left my 4 track setup on storage! No time for picking up those cables and restart again. Anyway, if I manage to dump everything to cassette, I think that would make for a good video (and it's been ages since I upload something) Final nail in the coffin: I was rendering my project and I forgot to remove a faulty plugin (unused and unnecessary) that was placed on standby, so the process first halted to a crawl then crashed. I know I'll make the same mistake again, but... never add an untested plugin last minute! Extra trankful to Wisefire for the late upload link. Respect !!! Ah, BTW, "Nublado" means "Cloudy"... Originality wasn't my strong point this week Take care, everyone, wherever you are 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 46 - ViridianLoom - City Under Shadow

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:48 GMT

Wee! This is the last track I've mixed for my album and I'm finalizing the master so I can get it uploaded to spotify. Super excited to share the music with everyone soon, so if you're on the discord server keep an eye out in the promotion channel. It's been nice to take a step back from WB for a while because, while it's been absolutely instrumental in my growth as a musician, I also needed to learn to take it easy on myself. So yeah, I'm feeling pretty fulfilled right now especially with this album being finished. I'm mega proud of it. It might not be for everyone but it's the kind of album I personally would want to listen to front to back. After this one is completely out of my hands I'm going to work on finishing up my album of VGM tunes and then I'll decide if I'm either going to go the prog-metal route or the folk route for the next Venaht record (both albums are happening regardless). And I'd like to rely a bit more on others throughout the production of that next record, as I felt that trying to handle EVERYTHING by myself for Immerens was too stressful. Stuff like finding a mix engineer, collaborating more with friends to get their input on songs, hiring musicians for stuff like woodwinds/violins/horns, etc. Hope everyone has been doing good. I've been listening to people's tunes but I just haven't commented. Too bad I can't click a little heart icon or something to acknowledge that I liked a tune. Proud of everyone who's continued to upload throughout the year. It's super cool to nail a 52 week run as long as you're in the headspace for it. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 46 - PeterM - SUBLIMINAL

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:38 GMT

Real plucks from my ukes and guitar! No time to explain ... gotta upload! Ahhh! Edit: OK, coming back to write a bit more after that super last minute upload. I think I made the cut by less than 10 seconds. Phew! My initial idea with this was to make a plucky tune with actual plucky physical instruments. Using the M8 mic, I sampled a couple ukes and a guitar for most of the plucky parts. The bass is a wave synth and the lead is a Hydrasynth part that I sampled into the M8 about 5 minutes before the deadline. I'm pretty happy with the result although I would have ended the song a bit more nicely if I had some more time. I made a few changes to try to clean up the ending but I didn't have any time to actually listen to the result since I needed to render it and get it converted to MP3. Anyway, if the ending sounds weak, that's why. Ignoring the ending, I really like the plucky parts and the guitar melody parts. I like the bass instrument. I like the lead part, but it was really rushed so I didn't really get to home in on a melody that really clicked for me. But what is there is passable. Anyway, I'm just glad I actually got this submitted in time. I've been within a few minutes of the deadline before but never within a few seconds! Thanks for all the kinda feedback on my song last week too! Greatly appreciated. Cheers! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 46 - laguna - Craving

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:04 GMT

I uploaded this one just seconds before the deadline. "Craving" just because it started as a silly Berlin School doodle on a Behringer Crave. That precise doodle sounded good but was pointless as f*ck, so I rendered as a 1 minute and a half audio jam and dumped the whole thing into Ableton, set the warp algorithm to "repitch" and decreased the tempo from 128 bpm (original) to a more hip hoppy 82 bpm. I added a last minute beat constructed using stock Elektron Machinedrum samples and some SP1200 swing. The original hardware jam had 4 takes and 2 fx sends. This just used the beat (1), the bounced jam (2) and some copy in reverse to fill the gaps while pretending I know how to build atmospheres (3). All this goes to a amplitude-modulated filter, a vocoder, and two delays, so the melodies are going to build themselves according to the beat interaction... sort of. Well, guess it's a super boring rant, but that was the technique. Guess it needs something, but I'm still catching my breath and it doesn't even have a proper fade out. I hope to catch up with all the excellent releases on the channel. Just 7 weeks to go.. why every good thing must end so quickly? Lots of love to all of you, wherever you are!!! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Uploading with 8 minutes to go. 6:52am on a Monday morning haha. Riff came up recently, wanted to record it so chose a 2 sectioner for weekly beats. I realised later its kinda part of one riff from Ghost Of a Thousand, but whatever, it isn't the same entirely so I guess its OK. Before that I actually thought it was also similar to two other riffs from other artists! I really like it anyway and had fun with this. Left it til way late, then had a friend over Sunday eve so it just got pushed back but thanks to my messed up sleeping hours I could still submit something. WWW The session was good again! Do love working on a track when I get going, so much resistance though. Always feels good uploading EBI Proper vocal sesh, with lyrics, and proper takes etc. I would've liked to record the vocals properly but didn't feel it fair for the neighbours as I did the final stretch of recording which included all vocals at like 4-6am. More time for better guitar leads. Ok just gonna submit this now. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

The deep biosphere is the part of the biosphere that resides below the first few meters of the ocean's surface. It extends 10 kilometers below the continental surface and 21 kilometers below the sea surface, at temperatures that may reach beyond 120 °C (248 °F) which is comparable to the maximum temperature where a metabolically active organism has been found. It includes all three domains of life and the genetic diversity rivals that on the surface. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 46 - miraclemiles - reading stories, telling stories

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:42:41 GMT

I read, watch and listen to a lot of stories, and occasionally I tell some. But this week I was thinking about how I miss reading stories out loud to my kids. Stories form our realities. It's nice when stories make our lives better and help us make sense of things. I think I read something somewhere (maybe the book Sapiens) about how it is our species (sapiens) ability to agree on shared stories (myths) that set us apart from the other human species and helped us become what we are today (the only human species remaining). Maybe some of the chaos and confusion we have today is that there are so many many more stories accessible to us than ever before. It's hard for us to agree on anything. But we still like our stories. So. Maybe an ironic title for a song with no words, but instrumental music enables us to create our own stories, and that makes for a good moment or two. The working project title for this was "Odd Groove", which is more on the nose. There are some "odd" grooves in here. I started out by playing the e-drum kit along with tracks from DJ Lycox album and recording that as midi. Used the midi notes to make some drum and percussion parts. Played some bass and keys on the Push. Used some new sounds: Kontakt Lo-Fi Glow instrument and some Puremagnetik synths which was fun. So many sounds at our disposal these days, it can be overwhelming, but inspiring. A diverse palate for our audio storytelling. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 46 - xavier marques - Quase La

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:38:26 GMT

Quase lá. ("Nearly there") This week I decided to revisit an old WB from week 3. There was this bit in the middle of the song that I found really interesting but it just lasted a few seconds. It is basically a chord progression but I liked how simple it was so I added a few more notes to get a fuller voicing and that was it. I did try a few other layers on top but ended up deleting them as I think it sounds good with a fairly minimal instrumentation. See you next week. Cover photo by fran.cesca › Gear‹ GearDirtywave M8.

Week 46 - Tomatron.Jones - To Rewind Time Reprise

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:35:24 GMT

I didn't have much time this week and I've been feeling some more feels so I decided to revisit last week's 'To Rewind Time' track. Listening back, it felt a bit rushed, needed more space and a bit more grit. I re-created it from the MIDI and original synth patches, slowed it down, lowered the key, added more automation with Transit to add some more grit. I also duplicated and un-reversed the bass for a bit more punch, kinda reminiscent of Lorn. * Synths and bass from Ableton Wavetable, Bass, and Helm VST * Valhalla, Transit plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total time: ~2 hours 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 46 - MRDRCAT - Duck and Cover!

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:26:54 GMT

This one was thrown together during a particularly hectic day of delayed flights, airport sitting, turbulence, etc. This is what the M8 was made for! I was able to get this almost done, last week's track most of the way there, and two others sketched in. I was tickled when my twitchy sampling of vintage newsreels inspired mukti to use the Duck and Cover newsreel in their track. Had I not swapped tracks to post Out of Space last week there would have been two tracks with these samples! Anyway. While mukti's PRETA uses these samples ominously in a nice, dark track (it's excellent, please listen to it), I went the exact opposite way to create something cartoonish and silly. Looking back with what we know about the atomic bomb these days, it's a ridiculous "informational" newsreel that in one breath tells how the bomb will blow entire buildings down, and yet in another explains that even a newspaper will help protect you. This is why I have trust issues (and a dark sense of humour). I had fun randomising the note slides on a bass patch to create weird bubbly things. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 46 - tarsiidea - Long Road Home

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:21:27 GMT

I began this one by laying out chords for the whole song, and working out the structure first. I usually start with a sound as inspiration, and this week I wanted to try build up the song harmonically first with basic midi instruments. I had the rough concept of what I wanted the song to be about, after walking home from the train late at night. I came up with a melody for the verse and chorus as I was putting together the chords, and I worked the lyrics around them. I found this way of working made rearranging and changing song sections way easier than my usual process, though it took up a lot of time trying to work out the chords and how best to transition between sections. I'm glad I tried this new way, as it really helped me come up with new sections that fit well with the other sections harmonically. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I then proceeded to create the arrangement. I added some additional effects before final mix and mastering of the track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Another circuit tracks one this week. This time adding a Roland s-1 and j-6 to the mix.

Bass feels a bit muddy but as usual I’ve run out of time for the tweaks needed for that… 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)
