Week 23 - miraclemiles - Conclusion Plateau

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:59:06 GMT

Walking until floating. Churned earth reveals Volunteer life forms, To sample the flesh. Endings are beginnings, too. - Started with drums I recorded during a work break, on a Tuesday (as usual). Picked out pieces. Chose sounds quickly. Played notes just as fast. It came together into something I'll accept. A bouncing floating quality. Wanted to be in 6/4. Some fun with edit and arranging. Done, again! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 23 - walternormand - Giving it away

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:58:49 GMT

Made this in the last 30 mins of the deadline while multiple people collected things off marketplace that I had posted yesterday. Had been missing the Elektron Analog 4 I used to own and had the sudden realisation I could just recreate it with ableton stock plugins, so this was 3 instances of Analog, and then a 707 drum rack because I was running out of time. It was fun to apply the same mental limits to ableton - turns out the mental shift can be fun without the gear. Realised I was missing the tactile feedback of having encoders, so very quickly got out an old underutilised APC40 that hadn't been used in years and remembered how much of a blast it was to use. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This is an older rough project I wanted to finish. I believe this was my first time using my own samples on the m8. Track is going nowhere but I like the sounds and I like that it's finished now!

This week saw me visiting the 24th Gulaschprogrammiernacht, a hacker event in Germany, one I've been attending almost annually for something like 20 years now. It's been pretty great, as always, and this slow, evolving, atmospheric track emerged from the mood after the event, sitting next to the venue as the day slowly faded into night. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 23 - MRDRCAT - Bumblebee Bounce

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:47:49 GMT

Another last minute track! I started this one this afternoon when grabbing lunch in the middle of a day's worth of around-the-yard chores. I just had 1 measure of percussion and 4 of the lead. After dinner I came back to finish it as much as possible, but it's a rush job. For this one I wanted to limit myself and see what happened. Limitations would help me concentrate on Getting Things Done, but I still wanted to push myself to get creative. My rules were: Only 4 tracks (I broke that; there are 5 in use :( ) Exclusively Wavsynth; specifically, non-wavetable oscillators (square, saw, triangle, noise) All patches created from scratch All percussion in a single track Literally 1.5 hours and I had to pull the plug, but this turned out WAY better than it should have. Maybe I should panic-create more often. If you want the project, grab it! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:44:38 GMT

Hi friends, hope you're doing well. › Production notes‹ Production notes For a while I wasn't sure what I'd make this week. Wednesday night I was driving home listening to the local EDM/dance music radio station. Wednesdays are trance nights and I had a jolt of inspiration to make a trance track. Well, I was also listening to Neon Liminal's trance tracks, and thought they were super cool too! (go listen to Neon Liminal's stuff!) So this week you get my first intentional attempt at trance music. Everything is composed and mixed on the M8. The synths are largely variations on the HYPERSYNTH engine, with some drum samples and also mikey303's acid preset. Saw waves are fun. I like saw waves :). Mixing is still hard and oh man is there a lot of reverb in trance. Thanks for stopping by! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 23 - Xjs - That Day of Thine

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:40:00 GMT

I don't know what happened, it was 11pm and I had nothing, but then, suddenly, there were a lot of words. What they mean, I don't really know. If you have an idea, please tell me. Tried a few things I learned over the week in the mix. I still feel it could sound clearer, the tracks and frequencies could be better separated, but I can't seem to manage. I seem to always pick synths that are very rich in their own right, which makes it harder to mix everything together without muddying it. Not sure if that's it or if it's something else I'm missing — if you have any hints by all means do let me know :) But alas, I'm still mixing with in-ears because I keep forgetting my big headphones. I'll try to remember them next week. That might make quite the difference. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Don't look too deep, or else you might drown That can't be cured by a smile or a frown Have a good laugh unless you feel down Why don't you put on a whimsical gown Don't try too hard, or else you might break Your iron-clad will, Providence might take Don't be someone else, you might get called fake Thanks for indulging in this my hot take There is a matter that you cannot affect A matter, quite literal, you can't interact with, only receive its emergent effect As far as you know that's so far correct.

Written entirely on Dirtywave M8 Tracker Light mastering in Audacity (normalizing/limiting/compressing). A continuation of last week's track's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which... Really liked the outro of last week's track, thought of a nice counter melody, sang it into the M8, bombed it, trashed it save for half a second, changed its pitched, upgraded it. Reused WB #1's colleague's daughter's clarinet improv. Another track with potential, but time ran out before making it great, again. Where we're going, we don't need mixing.

Week 23 - Michael Morrow - Cover My Eyes

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:37:20 GMT

My Diary for last week: Wednesday: wrote a 4-verse poem (‘I asked God for a wave, and he sent me the tide’). Thursday: re-wrote the poem. Saturday: took my favourite line from the poem (’Show me where the rain is born and where the thunder hides’) and wrote an entirely new poem, then set it to a tune. Sunday: Realised the rhythm of my poem would only ever make for a bad tune. Changed the rhythm and wrote a new tune. Wrote it on my guitar, sitting on a bass amp in the storeroom behind the kitchen at church because youth group had the run of the rest of the place. Songs analysed: 4 Beatles songs, 1 Norah Jones song, 1 Jeff Buckley song. Psalm I’ve been wrestling with: Psalm 139. Book that’s had the most impact on me this week: The Screwtape Letters. Thanks Julie for sitting with me while so I could record the song in one take, late on Sunday night. Thanks to Adelaide Metro for the beautifully-timed train at the end. I am not like you I am flesh and bone God, you are like water And I am stone Show me where the rain is born And where the thunder hides But if you show your glory Cover my eyes You don’t have to chase Even when I run Even if I rise On the wings of the dawn I could search the ocean depths To find a place to hide But you will be there waiting Cover my eyes I’m a see-through man When you search my life Underneath my skin To the heart inside Every thought I’ve ever had Is written up in lights But if you show your glory Cover my eyes I was not yet born When you wrote my days Carried from the womb To the lonely grave On this road from dust to dust I need a guiding light But if you show your glory Cover my eyes 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - horatiuromantic - It's so easy to say "I love you"

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:37:04 GMT

I had a nice conversation today with my friend Sabine, and I decided to put my thoughts into this song. I always sing about love and even my internet nickname is horatiuromantic but I am actually not so good at expressing love outside of my songs... I'm very happy with how the song turned out. I find the melody very catchy and familiar, I'm not sure I stole it from somewhere but please let me know if you recognize it haha. I think the B part is heavily influenced by "it ain't me, babe" by Dylan, but apart from that I don't think it's from anywhere in particular. I wrote and recorded it in ~6h. It would be nice to put more layers like an organ or voice or an instrumental solo somewhere, but I didn't have time and also I should learn the song better and play it live a few times before putting in more effort on the production..... I think that's a good rule of thumb! Hope you enjoy it! › Lyrics and chords‹ Lyrics and chords Gmaj7 Bm7 Am7 D7 It's so easy to say "I love you" in a melody F Esus4 E7 Am7 ...

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:16:14 GMT

that time of the week again... did a couple things differently this time around. spent more time on it than usual, firstly, but I also tried to be conscious about deleting as little as possible when it came to musical ideas. Something I tend to do often is get into a loop of creating and deleting and it leads me to not being able to finish things. So here we are! I've been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb recently and I love River Boy's use of filtering the choir. So I tried to emulate that vibe-- it's so fun to experiment with it :) anyways. hope everyone had a great week 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Tweaklab - 14 New Reasons

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:12:21 GMT

So I made the shift from REASON 13 to REASON 14 and this whole Weeklybeat is really just dedicated to learning the new work flow. It's pretty cool! I just had fun structuring the track using the new layout and shortcuts, trying to teach myself new habits after watching the "What's new in Reason 14" video. I love how quick and easy it is to route different things to their own mix channel with their own effects now. A big chunk of the song is the ReDRUM and how I just routed things. There's nothing overly special about the track, it's more just a product of my messing around if that makes sense :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Janky Jams - Systems To Conquer

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 23:03:13 GMT

Trying out a new approach this week, away from the big rack. I got the M8 Tracker a few weeks ago, but haven't really managed to get into it yet... so I figured, maybe I try to force the issue by messing around with my setup. And the result is quite different from my usual too, as a consequence! So, here's one for you that's only very minimally modular: the little palette case here is only used to add a kick and delay. That means, this week's patch notes are sparse: Bohm for the good big kick, and Nautilus as a delay on some of the M8's synth voices. I multitracked the M8 into Ableton, and used it as the master clock and sequencer. Track 7 on the M8 controls Bohm. The Drop is a bit underused here - I was planning to control a bunch of parameters of M8 voices with it, and that works great, but it's not ideal to rely on that for a fixed/planned track when I could just sequence those parameters on the M8 itself... so mostly I used it to control the wet/dry of Nautilus here :D Anyway, hope you enjoy something a little different from me this week. xoxo Video: SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jankyjams/systems-to-conquer 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - Tomatron.Jones - Vox Tertia (ft. Erika Gersten)

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:53:26 GMT

I didn't have much time this week on account of more band responsibilities - bass recording, preparing for a band show (which is in a few hours!) and other stuff. In line with wanting to do more 'vocal' based tracks, I've been very inspired by a few interesting tracks that use some looping vocal chops, namely, Jóhann Jóhannsson's soundtrack to the movie 'Arrival' - the tracks 'Heptabod B' and 'Kangaru' in particular. I took some vocals I had recorded of my voice teacher Erika, then started looping small sections, pitching them, stacking them. A sort of polyrhythm beat popped into my head, then I recorded some bass since I was already in bass recording mode. I didn't have a lot of time to edit it, but I actually really like it. It was fun working on such as weird arrangement, weird tones, and excited to tinker with more of the looped 'vocal chop'. * Vocals recorded through Shure SM58, Focusrite 4i4 * Generic P-bass (with freshly installed Seymour Duncan SPB-3's!) * Ableton Drums for drums * Ableton wavetable * Transit, Valhalla plugins + Ableton stock plugins * Gullfoss + Izotope Elements for master Total time: 3 hours, 45 minutes 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

In 1956 Osmond answered with his famous quote coining the word psychedelic: "To fathom hell or soar angelic just take a pinch of psychedelic."

“We live as we dream - alone. While the dream disappears, the life continues painfully.” -Joseph Conrad Made using Dronage Terminal by fellow Weekly Beats user boorch. Some extra post processing (EQ, Fors Sala, saturation, limiting) in Davinci Resolve. › Notes‹ NotesAnother busy week at work, another busy weekend, life, etc. Tried a bunch of things but couldn't find anything interesting on OP-1 or M8. After trying to brute force it, I decided to pivot to Dronage Terminal. Messed around with it a bit and recorded this one fairly quick. It's real easy to make some excellent drones in that little program. Highly recommend checking it out. The audio mastering and video edit took way longer because I was trying to do everything at the same time in Davinci Resolve. The audio kept messing up in the render, and I had a bunch of plugins and effects on that made re-exporting super slow. There's still a couple pops in there, but I don't have the time to go in and fix them anymore. They are simply part of it now. Find them all and win a prize! The title sounds kind of ominous but it actually refers to riding a black mountain bike trail, which I did for the first time today! Black ones are the most difficult, or.. as difficult as they can get in a flat country like the Netherlands. A very rewarding experience nontheless, I really want to go ride it again soon. Thanks for all the comments these past weeks. Work and life are pretty demanding atm, so I try to prioritise my time on WB listening and commenting over replying. Hope you're all doing well, loving all the incredible stuff you make, keep it up! <3 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 23 - laguna - Tape sync

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 22:15:01 GMT

I'm almost sure I've already used this song, though I am really in a hurry, since my company changed my schedule and I had one day less to make music. I found this Live 8 project between my unfinished 2021 projects. Again, I'm sure I did something with it but... whan I opened it, the mix was a mess, so let's call this (just in case) a proper 2026 "REMASTER". The original beat is labelled "tapesync" so I guess it is a really convoluted experiment I did with my volca beats. One sync track, 3 tracks on a cassete 4-track recorder, external FX and mixer ... and the result is just a mediocre "analog-esque" x0x-type beat. Just cleaning out the main arrangement trying to make it sounds less confusing. Drums to resonators and delays ... my usual book of tricks. Not very creative on my part, I know. From the names of the tracks, it seems that I was exploring the idea of reworking my Ableton arrangement with outboard gear... I don't hear anything that interesting nor I can figure where I was trying to go. I'm leaving my house for two weeks. I always hate leaving. Hope you all are doing well. Thanks a lot for the comments and the feedback. I thought I'd had "plenty of time" to engage with the community but I basically spent my days preparing stuff for work. Looking forward to just think about music 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

One day I woke up with a melody in my head, so I grabbed the move and recorded my voice humming into it, then used the new autopitcher to tune it to something decent, some days later I remade the melody on the m8 and it came out like this! A bit different from my initial idea but still enjoyable and in the vibes of something more aggro that I wanted to do :) I remember that sometimes I tried to remake a melody that popped into my head by writing it into ableton or anything and it always got lost in translation because the sound wouldnt be the same and I would drift my attention to something else loosing the initial inspiration, I find that humming it and recording it actually gives me way closer result to what my brain is producing, so I should do that more often!

This week we made a sea shanty for my buddy Dan’s bachelor party › lyrics‹ lyricsVerse 1 Since Danny boy was young he yearned for the sea Not bats and balls, twas the ships that called to he Ever since he stole the Volvo he was bound for piracy And once he tasted sailor rum Dan became Monty Chorus Yo Ho raise your glass The rogue has gone to shore For the lad we knew as Monty isn’t Monty anymore Verse 2 So he sailed to reach the campus green, skipped class for rum and mutiny He joined a band of brothers Down on 42nd street He’d take no chain and kiss no crown From his dark lair in cedar house His friends walked upon the planks he pressed To PJ’s and the edge Chorus Yo Ho raise your glass The rogue has gone to shore For the lad we knew as Monty isn’t Monty anymore Verse 3 He’s always been a Rebel since his days in South Caroline And he collected his degree once he finally found the time He moved back to Hampton roads to find a new lair by the sea He’s the youngest at the yacht club, average age is 63 (Interlude) Next, he filled his lair with grandmas plundered treasures old And bought a 97’ Escalade with ac never cold He did an Ironman quest but he never ran his boat Monty boy where did you go? Check your chart now oh, where is Monty loose? On a Saturday it seems he’s working down in Newport News? Just another day of work for him his work is never done From one project to another and another other one Pre-Chorus Fare thee well old Monty lad The rogue of Hampton Bay We buried him off Marker Twenty As Maggie hauled Dan away Chorus Yo Ho toll the bell Another pirates done Old Monty met a navy girl and now the bastard’s gone Yo Ho raise your glass The rogue has found his shore For the lad we knew as Monty isn’t Monty anymore› idea and narrative‹ idea and narrativeIt my friend dans bachelor party this weekend and we are going Yachting in Annapolis. We want to write him a sea shanty. The general idea is to follow the arc of his life in the verses, and then we need to come up with a hook. I think I want to lean into the most pirate like elements of his life. It’s fully summarized below, but notable ones are - Marker 20, the local nautical dive tavern - Actual sailing, yachting, coach life - The edge as a dive / haunt. Cedar house as the pirates lair - His house full of grandmas plundered treasures - Barnacled beat up rides - Brotherhood pirate crew - Mythic quests for ironman - Walked the planks (longboards) - Lassies on the Rebel - That lass Maggie is the girl for him His nickname was Monty Humor elements we must include - Escalade with no AC - runs Ironmans but can’t finish a bathroom, sailboat engine doesn’t run etc his boat is Jacqueline Seay - rebel - glorifying marker 20 which is a nautical salty bar but it’s a bit underwhelming for nightlife in reality - always at work works crazy hours at the shipyard. If you check his location on Saturday he might be there - eager to sign up for projects he doesn’t have time for - edge and pjs as haunts, cedar house as lair - youngest person at the Hampton yacht club where the average age is like 65 We could also lean into the common arcs of the sea shanties like “times got tough and the jobs dried up so I became a pirate” + much more edited ideation omitted here› rhyme worksheet‹ rhyme worksheet 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Its the first time im doing this kind of „concept“ writing so this was quite a fun experience. I did not expect to continue it last week so the last note which was added on last weeks upload is where this one starts. they can be directly played after another with that in mind.

Week 23 - neon liminal - SNC Sketch 1

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 20:40:38 GMT

I'm chasing a sound, which means I'm chasing a design, a workflow, a setup, figuring out what works and what doesn't and to be honest, this might go on for a while cuz it's definitely a 50/50 working/not working at best right now. This sounds "good" but definitely missed the mark all over the place for goals and that's fine. I learned some things. This is my Gretsch semi-hollow, run through Guitar Rig to emulate a Vox AC30 amp and tremolo with a little bit of added delay and reverb, and then it's run out into the rest of the setup. This week, I kept it simple - recorded a few little chords into five tracks on the Tempera (a granular instrument that I'm still learning), and then after that was setup, just the guitar into Microcosm for some live-looping experimentation. The microcosm aspects sound good but it's not gonna work for this project. The looper is a little too simple, and quite frankly, I can't do much else with a guitar strapped to my shoulder, have to use the foot switch to toggle the looper, and that means bending down to adjust effects, etc.... this just isn't gonna work. And while I was debating a Soma Cosmos as an alternative (and always am), I don't think playing live guitar and looping will be the solution for this workflow. The sound is big wall of sound and it's big and granular and enormous but probably too big, too granular, too much dropped into the ocean and left to dissolve. I suspect some of the solution there will be elements added after the live setup - more guitar, possibly drums, possibly a more traditional post-rock approach ... I dunno. That's what these sketches are for. Lots of experiments. Rambling. Too much to do. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 23 - Mulkaccino - Swingset Rivalry

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 20:23:48 GMT

I started out with the opening synth sound, just messing with some MPE, and then I added the synth bass, which I had to strip most of the MPE channels out of because it was too messy. I wasn't sure where I was going but I had listened to a bunch of Genesis (Master Drive) music so I knew i wanted a crunchy bass synth. It took a turn as I was scrolling through random synth presets and I happened to play a silly little 5th sequence on a recorderesque instrument, and it just sounded so grade-school like and poppy that I decided to make the rest of the song themed to a playground/Gameboy (or GameGear, but almost nobody had one of those and their 45 minute battery life!) The Westcoast synth just happened. I need better drum samples, but they worked okay here. Was really looking for high-hat sounds to replace what I had but don't know where to get drums (or how to make them), and never found a good rim shot (that I ended up leaving out). 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Took about 3-4 photos, maintaining distance and not intruding space. as an aspiring film-maker myself, I have been glad that my first no narrative film is based upon this city called Bombay. Released with my film and record label Lata press. You can watch the film here I keep making use of the photograph for various material as need be and as I find it fitting. For the film I also released a 18 track album titled as Sealink on my bandcamp. https://kaaareeegar.bandcamp.com/album/sealink for the album cover image I used the photograph which I first printed it on a Tshirt.

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 19:00:33 GMT

Eyyy it's chiptune AGAIN?? You know when you wanna write lyrics and then you have to actually start to think about what and how you feel? I've spent the last couple weeks with a lot of old, very good friends, and this week I was by myself most of the time, because none of them live here. So there's the tagline. I was also inspired by fellow Weeklybeater Roboctopus. To me, keeping the words to a minimum, giving them a chance to somewhat expand with the music, is part of the magic, so I left it at that and spent some time on building in tons of tiny variations. Again, this one's all M8. I wanted to explore the limitations of chip music a bit more and started out wanting to use only the Wavsynth engine and 3 tracks at most. I broke both rules down the line. Recording the vocal clip (onboard mic, bitcrushed and downsampled to death) and arranging it with the track took another 2 tracks for stereo, and around the 1:30 mark I decided I wanted the Toy engine from Macrosynth as well. I'm pretty happy with the result anyway, the limitations gave me a great place to start and got me to a place where I could confidently break the rules because an idea had by then formed. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 23 - onezero - Summit of the Deer

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 18:19:04 GMT

This one started with a decision to avoid the G-major tonic that I've been writing lately, so I started with a figure in A major to shake things up a bit, beginning with the first center-panned figure you hear. After writing some responses to that, I thought to try something I'd seen Ronald Jones (ex-Flaming Lips) doing in an old in-studio video: rather than using a slide on the third or fourth finger, he was using it on the first or second finger, and using third and fourth fingers to play notes above it. That bit starts at 1:14, panned center. It's not dramatically microtonal, but gains a bit of resonance from the vibrating string on the other side of the slide. Kind of cool, and I'd want to explore this more. (This section, though, does have G as a tonal center. The gravitational pull is substantial.) This one's three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola, with a touch of send to a convolution reverb, and the usual compressor/eq/limiter chain on the stereo buss. There's something lullaby-like about this one. We've been through a lot, and it's important to take care of ourselves. The title comes from the meaning of the peak Mullaghanish, which has an elevation of 649m. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Super low effort week after a couple of weeks of a bit more effort.

It took way longer to finish that it should have because I kept getting distracted from lack of interest, but I managed to land on something that at least keeps the challenge unbroken.

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 17:52:35 GMT

Back to meat-space this week! I got some sweet new hi hats and a new ride (I didn't have a ride cymbal. so yay!), so I decided to get that on the track this week. Got the kick mic'ed and an overhead going through my 1073 preamp clone (73P from DIYRE). Same mic/pre-amp on my cheap acoustic bass, and cheap acoustic guitar. I started on some lyrics, but didn't have time to get them recorded. Managed about 4 hours into this total, so I'm calling this week's track an "instrumental", and maybe I can add them for next week's track. I even goofed and had my monitors up by the time I was doing guitar, so you can hear that metronome keeping sweet, sweet time through most of it. Maybe I'll record some shaker sounds to try and mask it out over for next week as well. I also processed the stems through some outboard gear. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Starring: Crows (from Vancouver, 2023) Random woman (overheard while recording crows) Sample of guitar that I was going to try playing chromatically but that was a bust Digitakt II doing the Digitakt thing Alpha Juno doing pads Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star spooking up those pads Prophet 6 doing blips and controlling the Juno with aftertouch wobbles Soma Pulsar doing more noises and digital metallic crows (accidental) This started off as an uninspired tech test, as I've been re-routing my cabling and midi (new midi router ftw), but in the process of removing things and coming up with different ways to do it got much more inspired. I'm actually pretty happy with it now. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Paisleyfrog - The Fates

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 17:36:01 GMT

Let's do something random. Because of course I have frog dice! Came down to another Friday night and I didn't have anything started. Wasn't sure what to do, but hit upon a couple ideas - one was going back to my cheap theremin. I got a clue as to why I haven't been able to pipe it into Logic yet, so I can record now (phase cancellation problems). The other was something I had thought of before, but never tried: making a track with random instrumentation that I get by rolling dice. Played with the theremin, but dice is the winner. (We’ll revisit the theremin later.) I saw the idea a while ago from a creator that was playing off the whole "Roll For $X" thing, and was doing "Roll for Song". His thing was to roll for instruments for each section - rhythm, percussion, lead, etc, and then roll for a song to do a short cover of. Fun, but not chaotic enough. Nevermind that the whole "cover" part is a no go for WB. So, on Friday night I listed out instruments - figured a list of 36 would be good for now, so I could roll 2D6 and figure a tens roll and a ones roll (11-16, 21-26, etc). Had to do a bit of figuring on how to list things, lest I end up with a list that is 75% flute/wind instrument. I also worked on how I listed things to give more entries to guitar/bass, and less to flutes and whistles (guitars and basses are listed separately, while Recorders are given "any" (soprano, tenor, etc). Anyway, my instruments for this week: 22. Soprano ukulele 45. Electric mandolin 21. Synth bass 36. Silver flute 64. Hulusi (Chinese free-reed instrument) 61. Hand percussion That is a VERY favorable list for a first random try! Figured out a quick pattern on the uke, and then tried the hulusi. It's a diatonic instrument, and I didn't remember what key it was in. Played a little pattern - holy cow, does that fit with the uke?!? Yup! Go with it. The mail melodic theme that sounds a bit like a clarinet is that initial idea. Finished the whole thing in three hours or so. If you're curious, › here's the list, and more thoughts.‹ here's the list, and more thoughts. 11 Melodica 12 Acoustic guitar (six) 13 Acoustic guitar (12) 14 Electric guitar 15 Upright bass 16 Electric bass 21 Synth bass 22 Ukulele (soprano) 23 Ukulele (baritone) 24 Piano 25 Electric piano 26 Organ 31 Acoustic bass 32 Harmonica 33 NA Flute 34 Open hole flute 35 Vocals 36 Silver flute 41 Pennywhistle 42 Recorder (any) 43 Trumpet 44 Mandolin (acoustic) 45 Mandolin (electric) 46 Balalaika 51 Banjo (5) 52 Banjo (tenor) 53 Synth (any) 54 Orchestra 55 Drums (acoustic) 56 Drums (synth) 61 Hand percussion 62 Handpan 63 Theremin 64 Hulusi 65 Dulcimer 66 Cigar Box Guitar I have another 20 or so that I want to add to this list. I'd like to break out synthesizers into separate ones, it's a way to break me out of my usual and push me towards instruments I don't use as much. It's also absolutely criminal that electric kazoo and nose flute isn't on the list. I figure "wild card", "kitchen samples" and "field recording" would also be fun. I shall return to this list! On to week 24! I continue to be amazed at what everyone is posting, y'all are crushing it :) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - Crash Overture - Electroplankton 007

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:59:22 GMT

Huh, as I type this I see the James Bond reference and should have done something with it.... Oh well.. ANYWAY. I think I hit the wall this week and really wanted to skip. Probably because I messed up my sleeping schedule with instagram reels and staying up until 3am playing The Artisan of Glimmith, which my niece got me into. So I mostly blame me. Okay. Okay...It was me. I am entirely to blame. Electroplankton is a Nintendo DS game. Audicity, Hanebow several tracks mixed together (one only recorded one side of the track for reasons unknown to me, but I used it anyway) and then a lumiloop that a slowed down just a touch to add a little background flavour. I'm trying to do more where I take little bits and arrange it, rather than just improv performance. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - MAXELL XL3 - unstable footing

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:44:13 GMT

This song is not for everyone. Without a clear internal pulse, it's hard to find your footing. I couldn't count it in fours, it feels like 11/8, or something equally elusive. There’s no melody to latch onto, just the Vincent Gallo loop drone drenched in effects and my guitar wandering through it. Hypnotic, disorienting, and ultimately exhausting. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Commodore speedrun! I've been having fun this week hammering out quick acid patterns on the C64 and adding traditional drums for instant jamz. Here's one snippet featuring the lovely acid saw wave on the 8580 SID chip. Recorded live through a Mackie to two mono tracks on the computer. Quickly mixed and mastered in Ableton, a couple of edits for fun.

Week 23 - electronic_tiger - Bone Dance | Acid Techno to play WipEout to

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 16:13:22 GMT

A groovy Acid techno track to play WipEout to. A simple, squelchy pattern. Thick, crunchy drums and a soft pad and arpeggio. Thought I'd keep it very simple this week. Not just because I'm lazy. But also because I think the 7/4 groove keeps things moving enough. And adding more didn't improve it. So it's crude, simple but effective. Or I think so at least. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Ashtom - Whimsicat

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 15:40:06 GMT

My partner is working on a new cat zine following a prompt from her comic sketching group, and she asked me for a whimsical music to accompany her ideas. So I complied and here is the result! I went with a couple of influences from trip-hop but also slower easy listening music (like Slowerpace or Macroblank). It's not exactly either of those and that means to me that it still kept some of my music personality (or "My Sound" as they say). I composed it all on the Deluge, which means that I can also play it during my next liveset in nature next Saturday. Then I spent some time with TDR Nova and Ozone to finalize the mixing and mastering. I was already satisfied with the mix within the Deluge that I didn't want to bother mixing it again in the box. Thanks for listening and have a nice week. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - cmcavoy - Average

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 15:20:34 GMT

You got away, you're sure you got away (from those stardwelling experimenters), now you have to make a life. Another chapter in the "you got abducted by aliens" saga. Let's take a pause, I'd like to share an update on how my process has changed for this round of 8 tracks. I've been dividing these weeks up into 8 week chunks, trying to keep to a theme or a process for each 8 weeks to explore new ideas more deeply than I normally do. This is week 7 in the third bundle of weeks, so I'm almost done. What's different about previous workflows and processes? Way back in WB week 1 I described my MPC based beat making process...heavy on samples, spent most of my time looking for good material on records or youtube. I still like that process an awful lot and continue to use it. Weeklybeats has meant I've had to go down different paths to avoid breaking the copyright rule, which has been a good push. It led me to adopting an Elektron workflow that I like, here's how it goes, 0. Working with the Elektron "dark trinity", which I built up over the years through well timed used buys. The rytm & analog four are new (to me, bought used). I'm just scratching the surface of their abilities. Octatrack is the master clock, mixer and effects (big thanks to EZBot and his excellent Youtube videos on how these machines all can play well together), there's also a Digitone (mk1) in the mix and everything runs through an analog heat (mk2 + fx) on the master bus. It's a beefy setup, I'm lucky to have it and I don't do it justice. 1. OT sends program changes to the rytm & A4, so each song ends up being a bank in elektron terms. I copy the previous weeks bank, but delete the patterns and usually delete the machines to get new sounds. I've been using the same OT scene effects for a while, again...shout out to EZBot. During the week I poke around at patterns until I get a loop I like. 2. I copy that loop to a new pattern and tweak. Usually cutting lines and adding new ones. 3. I record live takes of the patterns stacked up on one another to see what an arrangement could feel like and then listen back to those recordings the next day(s). Putting a bit of time between the recording and the listening has been good. I end up being more critical (in a good way) but also end up liking things too, which can sometimes be hard to do. It's easy to be negatively critical of your own work, it's harder to like what you've done...putting some space in between helps imo. 4. On Saturday (or sooner, just depends) I either decide I like one of the recordings and start the mastering process, or decide I need to record a new arrangement. 5. There's some variability in this next step. During the middle of this round of 8 I did a recording for the Disquiet Junto (you can listen to it here). The track was slightly tongue in cheek, used a ton of Splice samples and stuck to a by-the-book techno club track arrangement. I ended up liking the process a bunch and thought the result was pretty good. It ended up influencing a couple of weeks of WB submissions, though it also showed how arrangment of splice samples isn't the same as an arrangement of my own sounds. Anyway, the variation in this step is whether I create a song arrangement in the Octatrack or I switch patterns "live". I lean towards the live approach, but...we'll see what happens over time. 6. Regardless of where I ended up recording the track, I take the final mix and run it through the Logic mastering plugin. I made the mistake of thinking I didn't need this one week and ended up with a super-bass heavy mess that I needed to revise. Since then, I'm using this as my final step to get the track at the right volume and give it a bit of oomph. It's been a really important step in my overall process. 7. upload and start again. Like all good workflows, I tweak it along the way. For this week I followed the above pretty closely, except I ended up running the mix through a GRM Atelier effect chain...for weird flavor. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Mamoriya - Existence Reinvention

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 15:20:15 GMT

Another one day track, because somehow despite being a NEET with entrance exams behind me, I didn't have time for music earlier in the week. How is that possible? I can't remember the last time I was sweating this hard making a track (figuratively, I have AC in my room). Anyway, while I do think my life will change substantially in the coming months, the title isn't that deep - I'm just trying to sound cool with some random things that popped into my head. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Second half was thrown together entirely in Ableton with the more generative type of melodic sounds coming from the Augur M4L device.

Week 23 - LeCroqueMonsieur - Anti DnB/Village

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:56:21 GMT

Alright, I started as a joke to myself on that one, mostly because my friend @dreat did a non-sonata last time and also my drum wasn’t dnb a few weeks ago! Sooooo, the overall idea is to do something that is almost drum and bass, but only with instruments (bar the drums because I don’t have a drum kit at home) and kinda Jungle but not quite (my tempo) but the opposite (not quite a city, so a village?) and stitch that with my iPhone as usual. Setup: - Drum A: Midi Modern 909 with increased bass to have more umpph, Jungle drum pattern punched on GarageBand manually - Drum B: Midi percussion kit, Jungle drum pattern punched on GarageBand manually, focused on treble - Wobble bass: Squier Mustang Bronco with heavy chorus and delay - Melody/Drone A: Classical guitar with arpegios. Mixed with Telecaster with flashback delay pedal - Sound artefacts: Fender Telecaster with chords merged on volume knob, also some muted notes. Voicing mostly done live with flashback - Synth layer: Midi keyboard on iPhone :D Any Phaser/Phased track is a doubled track with a couple of millisecond offset left/right and reverb to simulate a pure stereo phaser. This is due to the limitations on GarageBand (automation is volume only per track). I think the outcome is a bit this Frankenstein’s monster of a track that… has flavour? :D I’ll explore more possibility this year with different setups for sure. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - gify - The Leak

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 14:32:52 GMT

Woke up Saturday morning to, "why is this carpet wet here?" Our neighbour had a catastrophic leak on Saturday morning (my WB time!!!), which unfortunately caused some water damage to our place. Studio + equipment are intact, but we have to have these very loud blower fans going for a few days to prevent mould, and my cans are open back, so I had to write this track and mix it on my earbuds, which is not ideal. Needless to say, I didn't have very much time for this track, even though I had planned to. Hope everyone has a good week and stay's dry! I was originally trying to noodle around with some Boards of Canada-style synth lines and trying to understand their musical structure a bit, but I shelved all of that at the last minute and scraped this together instead. Might come back to the original ideas I had and keep studying their style more.... 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

I tried Delay Lama for the first time. That's pretty entertaining when it goes yo-ee yo-ee but I didn't try automation lanes for it yet which I imagine can do a lot more. The notes not ending at the end is a bug in my song. So I just picked a note and let it do that... last time that happened on one of my songs was like in 2012 so I guess it's just some anomalous midi thing 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - Cakes - Lab Work

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 13:50:18 GMT

A quick one this week due to family in town. This is a reshuffle of a hot pants break from one of Acid Lab's Bandcamp sample packs. I dropped that into MPC and did a custom edit. The chime loop is an MPC instrument. The plucky mid bass is also from that. Both were played inside the MPC. Those were bounced into Logic. There I added some Analog Lab strings with a basic progression. The growly bass came out of Bass Station VST. I wish I could have spent more time refining that bass. It's a bit unconstrained and washing out some of the other elements. I hope you all had a productive week. I'm anxious to make it to the halfway point! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Repaired miyoo mini failure for AL. OS needed to be re-installed. Spent majority of the week working on sound design and horror music demos for indie video game project. Still talking. Hoping to share pitch on Monday. Editing together over game footage. Having a lot of fun. Knocked out 3 songs and about half of the sounds I'd like to get done. Feels good enough for the pitch and very much was a fun challenge to shake up music process. Thinking about work for the summer while waiting for school year to start. New local farmers market. Picked up an abundance of fruit for cheap. Went to local art studio collective w/ AL. Made some Acid Dummy riso prints and she made her own poster for her boothing and art projects. Read some zines and literature on cycling, anarchism, and W. E. B. Du Bois in their library. Ran into a fellow local performer printing summer camp posters. Chatted about the change in music scene post pandemic and about mutual friends. Chiptune and punk scenes comparison. Old punks realizing there is "life after 30", was a fun one. Also who imagined living past it and what to do when you do. After, went to a couple of fabric stores and grabbed lunch at an out of town market. Prepping for B-day. Have a plan just need to send out invites. Mind too focused on game project to do anything else. Passed on tracks for new netlabel w/ LT. Sitting on a couple of tracks before submitting to the other. Thinking about old personal design project and website. Media Consumed: Johnny Mnemonic (1995), The Age of Magical Overthinking - Amanda Montell, Disaster Peace - It Follows, Boards of Canada - Inferno, Sinoia Caves - Beyond the Black Rainbow, Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow - Annihilation - Ex Machina, AFX - Analog Bubble bath, Hizmi - Drum Daemon - New Power, Surgeon - Shell~Wave, Patric C. - Toytone, Ec8or, MachineDrum - Fade Away,1*,2,3,4*, 5, 6, 7, 8, Gear Used: Game Boy Advanced SP Tascam DR-40 Software Used: FMS 1.21 Izotope RX10 De-Noise & De-Hum Izotope Ozone 10 Patterns made at the beginning of the week. Been busy making other things for potential work. Decided to quickly jam out parts early sunday morning. Combined parts used while exploring new updates and trying to figure out a comfortable workflow. I am strong at writing and producing but not improvising so working with out a song mode is outside my typical wheelhouse. Very different from the planning I normally put into live sets and production. Both freeing and frustrating. Wish I had invested more time into playing more instead of just production. All things considered, I think it came out fine. Happy with it as a one take session. Direct Stereo recording into the DR-40 and just a bit of background sound clean up from the noisy gameboy output. Short on time w/ current projects. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - WahSp - In a heartbeat

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 08:09:27 GMT

A simple one this week, because I again had little time. Doing a lot of work on our garden right now and work is basically always demanding. Last Friday I suffered through heart palpitations while lecturing. I have them sometimes and they are harmless as far as we know, but I take them as a sign that I am maybe trying to do too much at the same time. Fortunately there were two of us and my colleague (and friend) did most of the work. More or less same approach as in last weeks: Midi from Tidal Cycles piped into Ableton that I use as a glorified VST host and for a bit of (amateuristic) mastering. Normally I spend more times creating elements. This time I had to stick to the few elements I managed to create in the fragmented time that I had. This started with my trying to create some strings in Zebra 3, using modal synthesis. For this track I decided to also slap a tape emulator onto it. I personally really like the brass-like lead that I made with the Arturia Juno 6 emulation. There is something about that filter LFO that gives it a delay-like feel. I will probably want to build this out into something more substantial in the future. Maybe also add some variation in terms of chord progression. And: It needs to be said every now and then. This community is great. Much love to all of you! I am sorry that I am not able to listen and comment more these weeks. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - alonemusic - Down With The Reality

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 08:09:11 GMT

It's a weird one this week. I'm deep in live show prep, and I didn't think I would have time for a proper 'track'. but then I sat with my coffee before work, played a few chords, then started resampling them, pitching down, resampling through the same chain, then repeat. Then I had like, 8 minutes of wirdly nice drone. I'm not a big 'listen to ambience for ages' guy, but I was kinda hooked on the sounds, so I trimmed it back, then added what can only be known as 'sloppy chord improv'. This weirdly also worked, so I added a bit of bass, then the samples come from the live tapes I've been creating. The whole piece sounds really sad. The live show is framed around people losing themselves to AI affirmations and being drawn into delusional thinking. The line sampled throughout this track is from the transcript of ELIZA, the first chatbot, programmed with a very simple 'doctor/therapy' routine. However, it also feels like the last broadcast of a lost ship, so, why not both, as they say. I guess I should plug the show, but its an 8 hour durationl performance alongside my animator friend at Animafest in Zagreb, Croatia. If you want to hear a bit of rehersal drone then I popped some up here: https://soundcloud.com/alonemusic/drone-patterns-2 Deeply worried about flying with all my synths :D Anyway. Next weeks track might be more drone, so maybe I've become a drone guy. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 23 - HoolieBrown - Are We All Made of Star Stuff?

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 06:30:18 GMT

So this is a wild one - that audio is 2 years old - Kiddo was 3 years old. I got the Model 2 shipped to my dad's place on the east coast because we had porch pirates and I wasn't about to wait another 6 months for one so we flew out to pick it up and took the little one with us. This was an actual conversation we were having I recorded on the mic, directly on the M8. He was listening to some Neil Tyson and Carl Sagan audio book about the universe - like 3 year olds do I guess? - and had a lot of great questions. I heard the notes immediately and started getting excited. I wasn't as good with the M8 then, and was experimenting with a lot of the preloaded sounds that you'll hear in there, but I took the last week to do a proper mix, punch up the drums and add some analog synth and a choir patch. One thing I couldn't use was his punch line when he was asking if trucks were also made of star stuff. I said sure, he said nah... they are made of truck stuff. He's right, a lot closer to the core of the universe than I am so who am I to question it? Thanks for this community - I'm traveling for work so it's gonna be tough the next few weeks uploaded but we'll get it done. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Channeling my inner Ryan Adams with this one - Big guitars, reverb and chorus. Guitar is in the same strange tuning from last week - DAEAAE - Still enjoying experimenting with how to use is and coming up with a few ideas with it, so should be hearing more of it in the weeks ahead. Was going for an attempt at a Julian Casablancas style vocal chain with the tape saturation... I think I'm on the right track, but not quite 100% - I'll keep at it! Hope you enjoy! have a great week! Here are the lyrics: Say it to my face I'm worth as much as that I've heard it all before Not another chance Ill keep waiting For something that won't ever come A feeling of relief That feeling of relief Your secrets speak loud Loud enough to hear Lowering the tone Forgetting all these years So ill keep waiting For something that won't ever come A feeling of relief A feeling if it all coming undone *Noisy Bridge Section* So ill keep waiting For something that won't ever come A feeling of relief A feeling if it all coming undone 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Jason's an amazing musician and producer and I'm beyond grateful for the chance to work with him on this one!

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 17:55:56 GMT

I played a lot with different M8 wavsynth sounds this week to build most of the sweeping and beeping synth sounds. I added some extra booms to the kick to really drive the beat forward, and bring up the intensity, then I mixed in some vocal snippets from the NASA Artemis II audio and STS-131 launch sounds. It ended up being another super busy, loud, 144bpm track like many I've submitted this year 😅. Any feedback is appreciated! Its titled "LAUNCH" mainly because of the vocal snippets, but I also felt the track had a bit of a spacey/sci-fi sound to it. The pic is a heavily modified picture of a MR16 light bulb. In an attempt to make it look like rocket engine or something, I overlapped a picture from NASA of supernova remnants 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - RazbryRysie - A Quiet Morning's Coffee

Sat, 06 Jun 2026 15:05:35 GMT

I was inspired by a video of someone making generative music using pigeons pecking at a contact mic. I created my own using a hot chocolate tin and a stick on acoustic guitar pickup. The rain audio is being process to created gate and pitch info for the piano. The DIY tin contact mic didn't work so well, but I set it up so each gate signal played two or thee notes that were then sent to a guitar sample. I created an audio sample of the guitar for two octaves of the F Major pentatonic scale and had each note randomized to make chords. The double bass is a long loop to keep it some what grounded. I am once again reminded I need to up my field recording set up so I can make more stuff like this. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Hopefully you haven't gotten sick with whatever everyone else has. If you did, hopefully you didn't contract their complacent nature. Do you feel that uncomfortable urge? The self-awareness you learned as a child has now led you to only watch your life through the lens. Commentating on everything you do. I don't need to observe myself living. I need to step out of the film and become the author. Does this make sense? Did you listen to the song yet? Did you stumble through my sickly lyrics, then come here to try and resolve the confusion? Sorry, friend. Being confused is what makes me feel alive. Perplexed, passionate, carefully-placed confusion. Stay weird, stay out of your head. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:28:00 GMT

I dipped back into the darker "minimal psy" space this week and used the Polyend Tracker with a dose of "saturated" overdrive to make a crunchy beat. I then layered cosmic horror chords over it -- I improvised those on an iPad running Animoog (been a long time since I dusted off that old gem!) and added reverb to it in a DAW. The Polyend Tracker beat is mostly untouched, but I did use Ozone 10 on the final master to boost the loudness of the whole thing. When I have time I'll learn FMS, but this week was too crazy. For now I'm falling back on old habits. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

It's kind of nice knowing that if I couldn't sleep, or was up way too late, I'd be in good company out here - seems people keep a 24 hour schedule of activities out here. Enjoying my time and happy I could find a little sliver of it to make a little something for this week's entry without stressing too much! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

A square digital artwork for the song "Electro Revival (Black In Mix)" by nerBeater. The image features a dark, highly textured abstract background resembling heavily crumpled foil or thick, glossy, 3D-printed terrain. A jagged, diagonal band of intense, neon colors—ranging from glowing cyan and electric blue to bright white, hot pink, and lime green—cuts across the center. The surrounding areas consist of deep black, dark blue, purple, and red shadows. Overlaid across the bottom half is the text "NERBEATER" followed by "ELECTRO REVIVAL" and "(BLACK IN MIX)" written in a casual, slightly jagged, hand-drawn white font with a subtle black outline. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 23 - cistern stairs - okra

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 18:34:44 GMT

Week 23 Goal at start: My notes from last week were to analyze reference songs for how they layer sounds and when. Here are a few other things I’m trying to keep in mind this week: Try designing the melody based on when it appears in the song, such as intro, verse, or bridge. Use sound selection as the basis for melody. Test drive sounds to see what kind of melodies they might give rise to. Have an idea of what style and tone you’re going for from the beginning and weigh everything against that. Don’t just drift aimlessly trying random things. Pay attention to chords and scales. Think about what tone you’re setting for the overall song and if it matches your goal. Focus on emotion, clarity, and energy. Trying singing or humming the melody to assess how catchy it is. Maybe try singing some mock vocals along with it. End notes 6/5: This week was chaotic. For a start, I ended up throwing out all my first days work because it was trash, so I lost a whole day. I started with something else using the same project file and reusing the same instruments. The end result is salvageable but I feel like I failed on almost all my starting goals, so I guess I’ll repeat the same goals next week. Plan for next week: Try again. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This week is another instrumental filled with synth explorations and found sounds. We recently got our dogs some new toys and I couldn't help but notice they made a really cool weird sound when you shook them. So I recorded one of them at three different speeds: normal, super sped up, and super slowed down. This also has the sound of my ring spinning on my desk both forwards and backwards, and also a soda can pop top with a heavy delay on it. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Had a good week. Created a nice sounding bass patch, used it for a simple bassline, added some drums and then got stuck for a while as nothing I did seemed to fit in. Eventually decided to add FX/ear candy early and that got me back on track. Didn't add much though, just a few squeaky chords and a shaker.

Instead, I came up with this.

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 03:01:49 GMT

Had a lot of fun with this track. M8 time spent says 8 hours on this track. Minutes 1:00-3:30 I am so proud of. Honestly, the other sections are there just because I wanted to pad the time. The heart of the piece is in that middle chunk. I think you’ll feel it. Obviously, lots of sample magic happening here. Deckard Cain from Diablo with a time stretch pitch effect, one of my orchestra pieces (you can hear the high oboe throughout as the envelope decays), fun stuff with breaks, some vocaloid from Bobby and I’s project last week. Also stole Plong’s double bass patch. My orchestra piece I used here is the gift that keeps on giving. I can literally move the start to any part of the 13 minute piece and have a complete timbral shift. It’s like an infinite instrument generator. Probably 1 in 4 tracks has this same song incorporated in some way. Tried really hard to make this flow pretty seamlessly and stick MOSTLY to 5/4, which is something I wanted to practice. Usually when I do my odd time stuff, it’s like 4 bars of 4/4 with a 3/16 tagged onto the end. So it ends up still being mostly 4 bar phrases. I get intimidated by the brainpower needed to manage keeping track of chains of 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2. So, I practiced. I think the grooves sound so fresh. I am hosting the bundle for this one if you’d like to peep: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rh05rk0rx01lf3alrnndf/HEDSPLIT_SMMR.zip?rlkey=m6u6gszs7fqmxfhomiueatt2f&st=bgbq54vh&dl=0 Thanks for listening.

Week 23 - skkmkk - Recall

Tue, 02 Jun 2026 23:52:04 GMT

I sat down to make some progressive house / breakbeatish thingies on Tuesday afternoon, but went somewhere deeper. I think my mind was lurking for some nostalgic moments from my youth. Started this 1pm, finished 2am next morning. It was like one long session with couple breaks - and it felt like back in high school, when time and/or time of day was purely irrelevant, composing with fast tracker II was teh shit! Shortly put; Trance is a state of mind. It usually takes you to a place where you once were. Or keeps you in a uplifting state. I've always looked up on great 90's trance anthems, decade(s) before it all went mainstream. Lange is one of my favourite trance producers, and this is like an homage to prolific sounds of yesteryear. I don't listen todays' mainstream, hence I can not produce anything like it. But I can go back, and do some good. 127bpm trance that would be proud of back in 2001 :D Yamaha RS7000 provided the drums, intro/background strings and bubbly squelch bassline. All the other stuff comes from various vst plugins. Reaper is a helluva DAW, can't imagine faster way to gather ideas in front of a computer. It just computes. Drop a comment, if millenial trance is your thing. ps. had to render 192kpbs, 320 file was 17megs. :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Nice simple track for this weeks Weekly beats Made in Bitwig using built in drum kits All synths are Uhe Repro 5 other than the bass which is Sublab. The concept is from a video from 8 bit music theory to use a rhythm which uses a 5/4 clave rhythm (Think Mission Impossible) combined with the same Rhythm running at double the tempo (so 5/8) to create a more propulsive natural sounding rhythm. Daseot is Korean for 5 which I had to learn with my son for his TKD belts.

Speedtrash. All Dirtywave M8, all synths, with the goal of making each of eight tracks have a number of steps equal to a primary number. This was attempt #3 to get a song done this week, after my guitar recording failed for attempt #1 and my Model:Samples cable came loose and erased all my work on attempt #2. I am trying to use every instrument I have at least once this year, and attempt #2 is making me dread picking up the M:S again 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 23 - jegasus - The Fun Maze

Mon, 01 Jun 2026 00:01:30 GMT

### Lore As you wander through the halls, making aimless turns here and there, you spot speakers every few hundred feet. The music they're all playing somehow makes you feel like the designer of this god forsaken place is desperately seeking your approval, almost as if they're asking you directly "You're having fun, right?" ### Production Details I made most of this song on Saturday evening, using nothing but the M8's WAVSYNTH engine. The audio is straight from the M8's render, thrown into some online WAV to MP3 converter. Even though I wrote the track on Saturday, I hadn't named it until Sunday evening. I had just come back from the movies from watching The Backrooms, and earlier in the day, I had watched episodes 1 through 7 of The Amazing Digital Circus. After getting back home, I listened to this song once more and, while under the influence of those two pieces of media, decided on the song's name and wrote up the lore. ### Diary and Chatter Hi friends! First of all, my apologies for the absolute lack of comments on my part this past week. I was out on vacation with family on the beach, which meant almost no time on the social internet. On that note, the week was mostly fantastic: I got to hang out with in-laws and my youngest nephew. It was his first birthday and his first time on the beach. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 22 - BurnedOutSun - ffs

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:59:38 GMT

Heh, once again I postponed everything until the last moment and my plan was once again - just do a quick self-jam with fingerdrumming and guitar. But I've discovered my whole audio setup stopped working. I'm using linux with pipewire and it seems like I've messed up the signal routing during the week somehow, will be looking into it later today it seems. But yeah, in order to record at least something - I've plugged the mic, took an acoustic and just did a one-take of strumming and trying to complain about my life on top of playing. I think for the duration of the summer I will switch to the acoustic guitar though, to force myself work on progressions and get to know more "traditional" songwriting. And now I will go and finish cleaning of my apartment because I just can't anymore, everything is in disarray and I'm constantly trying to catch up with my plans and responsibilities. Welp, it's time for it to change. I feel like I also was doing a bit of social isolation, and that also includes weeklybeats. It feels like the whole thing is about community and interactions but I'm not really engaging with the chats and so on, so I might be missing on the benefits :') Anyways, the cleaning awaits me and so is the battle with my own mind 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - monstret - lounging

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:58:57 GMT

Soundcloud - here's a version with some fixes to the mix and arrangement. A small additional effort for big improvements in my opinion, but would of course have loved to spend more time. comments on submission: this is the first time I didn't even finish a crude arrangement. my time optimism put me in a situation where I had to export and submit before I listened to what I had put together. there was some pasting errors for a/b parts and wonky levels so I spent a little bit longer and uploaded the track with some fixes to Soundcloud. I really thought this week was going to be easy. Monday was a US holiday so I had a bit of time and it resulted in a fun four bars loop that I thought was promising. unfortunately no more time for the rest of the week. that's how it goes! I think this could have been good if I spent some time on the original idea and fleshed it out. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Few weeks ago stumbled onto this track https: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dirtywave/comments/1ssdqnv/therapy_tech/ and really loved it.

Week 22 - OleJazzer - Don't want my baby back blues

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:57:05 GMT

This song came to me. I did not happen to me, but I had been thinking about for a day or so all these blue songs where the guy just wants his baby back and I thought you know in my experience in relationships and such I never really wanted my baby back. You know I like to see her on the street or whatever and say hello but I never really wanted to go through all that again. There was a reason why we weren't together and if I thought about it long enough, you know, I was happy she had either cut ties and took off or I had actually it was always some woman that cut ties with me . But these guys in the blues songs are always wailing about wanting your baby back because they messed up and all of us messed up but if you mess up bad enough the woman leaves I don't know man I'm not sure I'd want her to come back. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:55:04 GMT

I didn't start working on this one until the day it was due. Lofi-ish, kinda Flying Lotus sounding, mostly centered around a stand-up bass sample I chopped up and added a little swing-y beat to. A few synth samples and a shitty synth-guitar stab sound round it out. Tried keep it pretty minimal. Some Transit and RC-20 to add some lo-fi color. Ran out of time, there's plenty I'd fix, add some more percussion and fun sounds. Or it's good enough. Keep it simple, stupid. * Splice Samples for drums hits, synth, bass * RC-20, Transit, Valhalla plugins + Ableton stock plugins * Gullfoss + Izotope Elements for master Total Time - 3 hours, 15 minutes 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Hi Everyone ! Heat is going down, and it's GOOD. I used the only two days when the heat was tolerable to try to make a song. I played a looooot of Forza Horizon 6 this week while listening japanese bangers (and a lot of "Diamond Girlfriend" from IRyS ft MOTSU), so here comes a track inspired by all those ! It was not fun making it at first because I tried to replicate stuff I heard with no success, and when I started freeing myself, I just got wild and...Made Modulations ! :DD (so in the end, very fun to make, and quite happy with how it ended up. Kinda want to sing or rap on that one day, we'll see about that !) Sorry if it get stuck in your head like it got in mine ! (And if you like automobile, please show me a video of you driving fast listening this track (no don't it's for the joke...unless you really want... :DD)) Have a great week everyone !! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 22 - prophisee - Lost in my own mind

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:54:41 GMT

I was short on time and wrote this one freestyling. Also threw together the really quick reggae beat. Got a text while I was thinking that said “need anything at the grocery store?” and so I started with “what do I need?” Which somehow devolved into “late at night”. I was testing the freestyler feature of the app I’m working on and I think one of its suggestions based on “what do I need” was “I see things in my dreams” and it came from there. › lyrics‹ lyricssometimes late at night, I don’t know why i feel lost in my own mind and tonight, what do i find? all my fears are so unkind 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - laguna - U get what I mean (question mark)

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:47:02 GMT

Superhurried last effort made in the 3 hours previous to the deadline. I've spent most of my weekend on the phone trying to fix some work stuff, really stressing. No ideas,I just wanted to sleep while hearing soothing Youtube videos. I make this nonsense using some pack of sounds from the ultralame and "meh" sounding drum module Akai XE8. Since they were so dull, it's in 4/4 with the hats and some kicks matching the triplet subdivision... polyrhythms? Maybe, I'm not sure. I didn't knew what to do with such freaky beat so I threw some gated synth chord and interconnected modulations on 12th and what I think it's triplets. Sorry for the lack of theory and knowledge but I'm really sleepy. Since my production was a complete mess I forced the bass to be heard by gating a filter applied to the whole drums with the bass amplitude, hence the name of the track. It could easily be titled "Can you really tell something apart from this whole mess?" Wishing you all a great 7 days in this Earth. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:44:39 GMT

20 minutes until deadline!! The M8 says I have 1 hour 40 minutes into this one. I like where it's headed, I just need to expand it. The patches are my own, and mostly my often-used bread & butter stuff. Sorry about the snare. Having the opening sound and that bass/kick all playing really messes things up. I got a lot of the fluttering and phase issues tamed, but some still remain because I still mostly don't know what I'm doing. The patch that opens it was done as an experiment to see if I could recreate a sound for someone else on the M8 Discord. I like to think I got close, but either way I like how it turned out. Hoping I can shape this track into a more varied, interesting thing in the future, since it would go nicely on the space-travel-themed EP I dream about releasing sometimes. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:42:27 GMT

Recommend to play a random part of this or any other random episode simultaneous with this track. › Production Shmoduction‹ Production ShmoductionBetween a heatwave, having spent a ton of time on last weeks track and a super busy week at work, it was hard to get motivited. I did some recordings of an old fan that sounded like a fun jumping off point, but ultimately got me nowhere. There was a moment where I thought about skipping this week, but the looming deadline finally gave enough of a push to make something. This title was on my list of song ideas and seemed like a fun idea. So I just grabbed it, went to work and built this in the last hours before the deadline. Everything is OP-1 Field, except for the bass and ride cymbal. Bass is from the Norman Cook pack, and the ride is from the excellent Goldbaby Hotpot Vol. 1. All sampled and sequenced into M8. It's all samples, all the way down. Some parts like the chords were played live, others like the solo and bass were programmed. The drumloop was made with the OP-1F sequencer. The chords were pretty fun to work on and figure out, could've used more of a different B section maybe. Who knows, maybe some day I'll learn to make something more in depth with more than 3 chords? Some light mastering in Logic. Download the M8 bundle Another week, another track done! Hooray! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

It was used in the new trailer for Decaying Salvage, so, you can listen to the actual track on that :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Continuous Nonlinearities - Economy of thought

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:40:42 GMT

I think this is a track that I should come back to and work on more in depth. This is not a statement about this being incomplete or a comment on quality, just that I think there's more that can be done with it and I've only got a limited amount of time. I can feel that something else but it hasn't been grasped yet. Maybe at some point. I've been taunting myself with ideas of new gear all week (all the last few weeks, really, though amped up this week) but acquired nothing. I have new gear I need to develop my relationship with already, anyway! Of my new gear, I spent a bit of time learning more about how I can use my 20% More, which finds its way in here on two almost-hard panned guitar tracks with squeals and birdsongs and occasional hard gating, run into my even newer Parting and Dark Star for air and flight, and controlled by the Conflict of Interest for birdsong/squeal melody. Seems a good combo. Less Pulsar-23 this week, it made it in as a somewhat-hidden bass line (while the main sequenced bass pattern is Prophet 6). I've been thinking about midi and wanted to actually *play* its bass module with a keyboard, but I don't have any midi mergers so it's either sequencing or keyboard control. But I have resolved myself and decided I must get a midi router/merger/utility all-in-one magic box, and have been studying my options. This is one of my new gear ideas that has taunted me, in part as an alternative to Getting Yet Another Keyboard When I Have So Many Keyboards And There Is A Desktop Option That Costs Much Less. But utility builds on itself and becomes a monster where I say "But if I get this, then I can do this too, and then maybe I could do this, and maybe" and then one little thing gets 3x the cost added in accessories to Build the System. It will almost definitely happen. The special guest this week is the Ensoniq ESQ-1, making the pads and ethereal bell-like sounds, which were kind of an accident - I had a pattern sequenced from ages ago that started playing that part when I started my sequencing, but it worked. It has a certain chill to it that is interesting. There seems to have been a auto-panning set in the sound that I was not expecting. So it is what it is. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Super_Pig - Adrenaline

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:39:54 GMT

Another submission! More synth-wave, especially so in this one with the 4 on the floor halfway through. While doing these weekly beats, I feel like I sometimes lose the plot of a song halfway through, like having so many ideas of where to take it when an idea would maybe be better as two separate songs. This was originally the case but I ended up editing it enough to be coherent. If I were to change anything, maybe the fact there isn't many chord changes and it's more the instrumentation that changes.

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:35:29 GMT

Interesting Times, a piece about being one with the world, but not really maybe always wanting to be one with everything - sometimes you just wanna be yourself. feat. Levi the drummer piped thru to VD-DEEP and piano+bass midi notes added the hard way in the DAW, because I composed this piece and I can't play it. And I had a pretty busy week so I didn't have time to sit much at the piano and computer. So I added some wacko sounds instead of my regular piano playing, and tbh there is something kinda crazy and hypnotic about it, which I really like. The second part is very wacky!!! Let me know what u think about the composition, and how would you imagine solos go on this piece? Do I do a vamp in Gminor? I need a different solos bassline I guess? (since it's really tricky to play over the main melody). Or stay in Eb minor just like the ascending end of chorus? I am leaning towards Gm or even Am. It's a bit more simple and everyone can play smth. Composition was done on the electric guitar, but there I have even less chance of playing it correctly. But it's a crazy composition, the chords are mostly perfect 4ths, and the way the hand looks on the frets when playing is really some outsider art shit. But hey it works cause it sounds cool, and it's super hypnotic after I've been listening and trying to come up with parts for it. The bridge thingy is actually played with the fretboard hand on the wrong side ahhha. someday I will make a video and re-record, but it's not gonna be tonight bruthaz... I am so damn tired my eyes are closing as I finish typing and uploading. I was almost ready to ruin the streak again, but somehow I managed another week....... 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 22 - Kedbreak136 - Cheaptune

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:32:50 GMT

I was discussing on Friday with a friend about the good time of point & click games in the 80s - from Lucasarts to Sierra, without forgetting the Broken Sword game. I enjoyed the Sierra ones a lot but Lucasarts were for me the best - especially Loom, Indiana Jones, and Day of the Tentacle. I think this is what prompted me to try out my hand at a pseudo chiptune. Pseudo because there are some sounds in there that are definitely not chiptune territory (like the end), but hey, i am no purist. It's just a simple cheap little chiptune, homage to 90s point and click games and maybe SNES RPGs. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Philly - Low

Sun, 31 May 2026 23:19:15 GMT

JNSN x PHLiiP : Low 135bpm This one’s from the vaults. All of my tech is broken(glasses, fountain pens, studio laptop, clothes) or on their last legs. But I’ve managed to salvage this blast from the past, which is still a really viable idea that I’d love to expand on. I’ve written lyrics and a whole song structure to go with it and I look forward to laying it down when I’ve bought new machines. Really not sure whether to buy a mac mini or new MacBook Pro, but I’m hopefully making the necessary repairs and refreshes and will be back with you shortly!!! Hope your weeks been great!! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Honestly, go listen to one of my other tracks instead of this one XD I tried an experiment for this week, where I tried to do most of the instrument selection, mixing, and composing with my cheap speakers instead of my headphones. Like the "car test" in reverse. As a result, I'm not happy with the mix either in headphones or on speakers, and I don't have the time or energy to fix it...I guess I can say I learned something, though. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

historical evolutions of a text like a filter opening and closing over time how does the past influence our present? can a new arrangement still rhyme? . . . . . finally had some time to work on a track more expansively this week, so after some friends were texting some videos to upskill the craft, i went down a ~rabbit~ mouse hole and ended up wanting to study and › make my own version of‹ make my own version ofdeadmau5's "faxing berlin" a classic. it's probably my longest track to date like the original i'm studying here. was fun to see how to make an arrangement last this long, hopefully it captures your attention throughout! i had to downsample to 22khz to get under 16mb as the original 44k and even 32k was 21mb, so hopefully it still sounds ok. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

My main source of income has been replaced with time to figure out what is next, both a blessing and a curse. I am lucky that I can use this time, while at the same time trying to find meaning in what I do next.

› notes‹ notes Well the Afib is still in the band unfortunately. But it did heavily influence the mood of this track. Thankfully the new med helps keep the episodes to an hour or two. Now to just keep it away for a few weeks or months? tw00d be nice! I thought I was going to drone this week as I sought inspiration from Red Means Recording's Ableton pack, "The Witch". Whichhhh is a bunch of cool drone-like instruments sampled from Make Noise's Strega instrument. (Thanks<3 go out to Neon Liminal for the recommendation) I stumbled upon a preset pretty quick that inspired the main chord progression. Piano and Epiano are from the Roland RD700GX. Drums are a combo of SR-88 and Zebra. The rest of the synths are from Zebra as well. I also need to catch up on my listening this week. :o Thanks for stopping by and listening. **ginger_waves** <3 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Well what do you know. Was sure my streak was about to end because I had so busy week. On sunday I popped on my latest synth, Yamaha PSS-100 (chiptune heaven synth that was modded with an output), and hit some notes with it. No midi in that thing, so everything is bit off. Gives it a charm, right? So, everything but the lead sound (Korg MS-20 vst) and bass patch (Kawai K4) comes off from pss-100 (yeah, drums, crunchy!). Funny how everything in here formed in just a few hours really, and on seven tracks in Reaper. I guess BoC's new album, Inferno, got me on idm style fire today.

Built off the last session for a usable template; didn't really start with a specific idea but thanks to ENC_ for the idea to do some lo-fi chip techno. Other than the noise channel towards the middle, I pretty much didn't use the PSG chip and could have done without it for chip economy, oh well. A few slight oddities in the track; there's a random 'delay' for a very long 16th and the last half is in 14/4 but I think it works well enough. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 22 - Paisleyfrog - Monsters are Universal

Sun, 31 May 2026 21:50:47 GMT

Let's do some some more podcast music in the style of classic horror soundtracks. Picture is from Halloween 2017. There's a house in southern Wisconsin that goes ALL OUT every year. Seriously, they have a sponsor. Another podcast theme! I've been writing themes for this creator for close to 20 years. It was for his movie review show "The Final Cut" that the Genre Frog really first started to show up - I wrote the first show theme in 2011, and have since recreated the first theme in at least a half dozen styles (epic adventure, orchestral rock, big band, Christmas, Star Wars, chiptune), plus all of the other shows and side projects he works on. That's where this track comes in. He's going to be doing a series of shows focusing on the classic movie monsters (mainly the Universal monsters from the 30s), but stretching out to Creature from the Black Lagoon and the like. So, he asked if I could do something that would fit with classic horror. Sure, we'll give that a shot. (The title isn't the name of the podcast, just me having some fun :) ) Turnaround was quick - barely had any time to work (end of year school stuff, graduations, birthdays...), and the track was needed in less than two weeks. I laid this down in a couple hours on Wednesday night, and spent some more time tweaking - dropping out or changing instruments, playing with tempo changes. Didn't do a lot of processing on this - just put an EQ curve on it to make it sound a bit old (low and hi cut, and a boost around 800-1000Hz to bring out that sort of boxy old time film sound. Done! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Purchased a used Pittsburgh Taiga desktop synth late last year, haven't used it much, makes some very interesting sounds but often don't find a use for them in my music. This week I was determined, started with recording two patches from the Taiga, heard in the second half of the track. I think the grittier distorted drums work better with it, not my usual type of drums, but I think the Taiga fit well with these ones. Hopefully can get some more use of the Taiga in coming weeks as it really does make some very nice sounds. Recorded some rain falling while cooking dinner out on the patio on Friday, used that for some texture at the beginning of the track, my son has been sick now for a few days, I think you hear him coughing at the start. 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Week 22 - Sir Bunting - Random Ideas 1

Sun, 31 May 2026 21:07:41 GMT

This week was Raga Kumarapriya which in my software was unexpectedly pentatonic (?) and difficult to do anything with. I tried that minor 7th thing which has an arcade sort of feel, I guess. Anyway I will use this opportunity to look it up a little on Wikipedia. "Janya" means derive, so a "Janya Raga" is a derived raga... one of those created by removing notes is called "Varja"... and "Audava" means it has 5 notes. So there we go... so I asked myself, "What are Upanga ragas if they are supposedly derived from the parent but without using notes/swaras that aren't from the parent and still distinct from Varja conceptually?" It seems I had a misconception from the start and they don't have to be distinct... Varja simply refers to how notes/swaras have been removed, whereas Upanga refers to the derived scale's purity when compared to the source - to be contrasted with Bhashanga which would add foreign notes/swaras and have less purity as a derived scale. But I doubt the forced minor 7ths on each note would be Bhashanga... doing something as wacky as that eliminates all the original context entirely lmoa 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - neon liminal - beneath the stairs

Sun, 31 May 2026 20:58:32 GMT

A little break from trance music this week for some ambient-horror, which doubles as my submission for the RMR Discord Challenge. The short composition - 3 minutes - is part of the requirements for the challenge. The challenge this month was "found sound ambient", which, in a nutshell, meant an ambient composition incorporating "found sounds", like foley and field recordings, and either ones you recorded yourself or found elsewhere. I have been wanting to fuck with some ambient-horror for a while, so this seemed like a prime opportunity. My house is very old, but not haunted, as far as I can tell (there is the incident of the poltergeist seemingly knocking over a 1kg glass blender jar nearly onto my feet and shattering into a thousand terrifying shards but we don't talk about that), however, it has lots of strange noises being very old and many of them come from "under the stairs". So I went about the house recording some of the sounds that seem quite haunted but are really just an old house. This piece features a few of said recordings: - two samples of stair-climbing, from beneath and above - a yarn swift making a constant C# tone and rhythmic thumping - a creaky door - my nephew imitating a whistling tea kettle, with said tea kettle None of these are very identifiable in the song. The mostly atonal-drone-atmospheres are made through a kind of stretching-plugin called Scaper, the knocks and steps have been generally fucked with to sound massive and booming, and the nephew has been transformed into something quite monstrous. There are only two elements that aren't from the above recordings - five notes from a jumpscare synth lead courtesy of Dystropia, and a sub-bass drone to add just a tiny bit of tonal cohesion to the rest of the atmosphere. Everything else is these cell phone recordings I made manipulated inside Ableton. Enjoy, if you can lol. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 31 May 2026 20:42:07 GMT

Hi everyone :) It’s kind of funny: I want to make an instrumental track... and somehow it turns into a vocal track. Then I decide to create a vocal track... and somehow it ends up being instrumental instead. What do you even call that? I guess I can’t complain though. I’m still pretty inexperienced when it comes to working with vocals, so every track is another chance to learn something new. Anyway, here’s my entry for this week. Hope you enjoy it! :) Have a nice day Cheers KaZu P.S. As always, I’m really grateful for any constructive feedback, opinions, and so on :) And if you have any tips regarding vocals, I’m all ears! :) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 22 - Jackmsimpson - The Way It Is

Sun, 31 May 2026 20:36:02 GMT

New tuning this week - DAEAAE - its pretty jangly with some nice chord voicings utilising open strings. Used a capo...4th fret I think. A bit more upbeat...I guess. Still in the same sort of wheelhouse of rest of my WB tunes, but that's not a bad thing I suppose. Continuing using the Safari Pedals plugins - Still enjoying them! Enjoy your week! Lyrics: There's the smoking gun Another promise left unsaid There goes another one Like a bullet to the head The lies still on your breath The truth is what I bled I felt the bullet hit On the line we feared to tread Call me out Drag me down Lock the door on the past that used ti be This is the way it is, the way that's made for me One more day you said Then we can start again Another payment then Our lives start to begin Another pound of flesh To cleanse you of your sin Hardly worth the wait When I know what lies within Call me out Drag me down Lock the door on the past that used ti be This is the way it is, the way that's made for me 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 22 - Leo - How did we survive that, Nietzsche

Sun, 31 May 2026 20:03:51 GMT

Spent the weekend celebrating a friend's birthday. At night we sat around the fire swapping stories of stupid stuff we did in our early twenties -some of which could've gone horribly wrong. Instead we made it out and now we get to sit by the fire at thirty-something years old, laugh at how dumb we were and be really happy to have each other. All M8, using the GM Drumkit (which I downsampled a couple times and reduced to 8bit) and just a handful of WAVSYNTH instances.

Hi gang! Some drone speedtreasure this week.

Week 22 - bobbyd - Greetings to our friends in the stars, may time bring us together.

Sun, 31 May 2026 19:49:57 GMT

This is a collaboration with evanericksonmusic. I started with a sketch, Evan added AMAZING vocaloid singing, vocals chord changes and changed into "a bar of 11/8 and sometimes a bar of 5/16 thrown on at the end of a 4 bar phrase" which almost broke my brain. After that, I added a lead to compliment the singing and some drums then Evan did the chopped vocal and fade out ending. This was such a fun thing to do and we both had a lot of fun! › lyrics‹ lyrics キスが津波のように私たちの全身を打ちつけるけ打私たちは二人とも波すべての感情を一度に感じる、情それは言葉では言い表せない感覚。唇を離すと、あなたは私の目を見つめる The kiss crashes over our entire bodies like a tsunami; we are both swept up in the waves, feeling every emotion all at once—a sensation that defies words.

Week 22 - eleventhstage - Untitled FMS Jam 02

Sun, 31 May 2026 19:10:10 GMT

The heatwave that hit me in the UK this week put the dampers on tryna write music for a minute there. Had nothing for a while, tried writing a generative piece on FMS and wasn't feeling it, then suddenly started fucking aorund without thinking and accidentally made some patterns I really liked. Worked on them in the few free moments I had then jammed them out Sunday night. Tried a slightly different method, hardpanned different elements in FMS and recorded as 2 audio tracks that I then filtered seperately in Ableton. Really need to get realtime filtering going whilst jamming but it is what it is. Enjoy. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 22 - JaiClone - Almost the Same

Sun, 31 May 2026 19:06:36 GMT

After belting out last weeks song, I was intending to do something pretty chill this week without vocals and guitars... oops... :/ This one has a more uncertain history than most of my material, but I know the music was definitely written pre-2010, because I recorded a really bad instrumental demo of it on my trusty BOSS BR-900CD (which I sold in 2010). And by bad, I mean three guitar tracks (no vocals, no drums) with no panning, no mixing, and a 'bass' track that was actually a pitch-shifted guitar, all using the built-in effect presets that marginally resembled how I wanted it to sound. I think I perhaps I played to a click, but there are a couple of rough spots (although that was probably just me not locking in). My recording chops were still just shy of non-existent at the time, and the BOSS was not the instant hitmaker I expected it to be, mostly because I could not make friends with trying to produce multi track recordings with that tiny LCD screen and a clunky interface. The only slightly interesting thing the original demo had was a 'reversed' guitar bit where I actually tried to reverse arpeggiate the verse parts so that when the audio was reversed, it would be in the correct order but have that cool reversed guitar sound. It, uh... didn't quite work how I hoped, which was largely because of my limited gear and abilities at the time (having said that, I didn't attempt to re-do it in this version, rather I opted for some lo-fi strings in place of that idea, attempting to give the vibe of a ye olde patriotic infomercial recruiting soldiers). Aaaaanyhoo, the song quickly faded into obscurity, because I recall it having a pretty short gap between writing and recording, and having such a short tenure in the brain meant less time to burn in. Which is ironic, because as a procrastinator, recording something soon after writing it suggests I saw potential in the idea at the time. The caveat of this though; to my brain, recorded = I can now free up that mental space. I have skimmed past the demo a few times while trying to find inspiration through the last few years of Weekly Beats, but it didn't really grab me, largely because of that short tenure, it hadn't earned a yearning within me to complete it. I had also forgotten that I had written lyric and melody ideas at some point through the 2010s, and therefore forgot how semi-complete it was. As I came across it this week, I randomly decided to be less dismissive and let it play out while humming some melody ideas. Halfway through, the penny dropped; I think I already have lyric and melody ideas for this! So I rummaged through the archive and tracked down the lyrics, which helped me remember the melodies. The guitar parts are essentially as they were in the original demo, just performed and produced notably tidier and clearer, and although the song is now improved in every way over the original, I continue to feel underwhelmed by what I'm producing this year, which is probably just the age having less youthful exuberance available (which I am clearly having a bit of trouble accepting). It's a very safe composition, no edgy choices, no wow and wonderment, just another formulaic pop rock song. But! Along with a few other songs from this year so far, it is another terrible old demo revisited to capture a better representation of what I thought it could have been 'back in the day'. Funny story; I bought the BR-900CD around 2002 and used it intermittently over the years for very average demos and ideas because I didn't really know how to use it particularly well. I then decided to sell it in 2010, listing the ad before I went to study at TAFE one day, and before the end of the day I had someone coming around to pick it up. One problem; I hadn't transferred any of my material off it yet, because I figured I had a few days before anyone would be interested. Panik! I rushed home after TAFE and began transferring as many bits as I could into Audacity via audio cable in real time (none of that fancy USB transfer tomfoolery). When the person showed up, I had them waiting another 20-30 minutes while I continued before performing a drive wipe. Some were full song ideas, some were half done, some were literally just enough to remind me to rebuild later (eg, first and second riff then faded out). I didn't get it all, but I think I got what I considered half decent. So, the moral of that story is if you want something to sell quickly, make sure you're completely unprepared for it to sell quickly :P 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Here's a grungy hip hop thing started in MPC and ported to Logic for additional love. I must have accidentally nudged my bpm in MPC. What was expected to be 90bpm was +1 when I pulled it into Logic. The drum transients have some dirt that I couldn't quite taper and I also need to work on the compression. I kind of quit on it mid week. I like the dirty feel of it though. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

This week I was experimenting with some old gear. I used a MIDI controller to trigger the internal synths and drums of the Roland 303 Groovebox, and I also recorded my acoustic guitar onto a cassette tape. From there, I created a loop and improvised some electric guitar melodies over it, just playing whatever came to mind. I wish I had more to offer this week, but work kept me pretty busy, and this was the only track I managed to finish. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 31 May 2026 18:12:25 GMT

This is about all the years I typed on a Manual typewriter. The piece starts in C Major, with me rolling the paper into the machine-- and then ripping it out with a flourish as I did not get it even. I did this twice. Then I strike an even rhythm and continue on with a very predictable quarter note format, as I try to emulate striking each key with the same weight. Then after a measure of triplets I modulate into F Major finish with a flourish. I begin with a considerably reduced tempo, measure by measure accelerating. Safely in F Major, I finish my typing and tear off the sheet with a flourish! (Once upon a time, I could type 100 wpm and take dictation- in Gregg Shorthand.) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Apticx - Cloudburst

Sun, 31 May 2026 18:06:39 GMT

You had a great evening with friends making some stick bread over the flames of a small campfire. You hear the crickets chirping, the cool air blowing through your hair and you take the last sip of beer left in your bottle and then head to bed. After a great sleep you wake up surrounded by cats and prepare breakfast with your friends and you all have a great time and then suddenly the sky turns dark, strong gusts of wind surprise you and you quickly bring all the stuff back inside to not make it get swept away and only seconds after you are back inside you hear the first thunder and then the rain hits. Glad all went well. Now you sit on the couch with a open window and quietly watch the rain fall down and the sound of thunder in the background while having a great time talking to each other. ——— Well that was exactly Saturday to Sunday for me and on classic apticx fashion i obviously did not finish my weeklybeat yet so being inspired by that calm mood i wrote this little thing where i tried to recreate the sound of wind rain and thunder on my m8 with just the wavsynth while creating the lush and warm pads to resemble the calm of sitting there at the window and looking out into the rain. Not much happened this week besides that so im very happy i felt inspired in the end because besides working not much else happened. Hope you all had a great week too! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Network opportunity came through AL's former work friends. Work on indie game music and sound design possibly. Unconfirmed. Still talking. Planning on making some demos to see if I am right fit for the project. Submitted educational application to other employment prospects and waiting on responses. Cycled across town on bike to deliver papers for background check. Person not there to talk but was told papers would be delivered. Worked on voting w/ AL. Discussed B-day plans. Cataloged movie collection in spreadsheet. Talked extensively about abstract local organization and led to discussing joining or creating DSA chapter or something else. Reflected on organizing efforts I participated in when I was younger during canvasing, charitable work, and labor advocacy. Always stuck on the internal motivational problem. Everyone always is. Looking at small ways to move the needle. Hoping to do more. Art and social coalition building. Lots of shower thoughts :P Ate out w/ AL and took some walks. Met up with T&D T&K and had brunch on the long weekend. Reflected on my Dad's stories and his family. Tried to remember family history that is foggy to me. Grateful for my wife. Trying to sleep in my bed and not on the floor. Sleep average greatly improved from years prior. Up from 4.5 to 7 hours.

Changes don't reoccur until next note is played. Old limitation of Yamaha's FM chips. Deflemask's Genesis rom exporter is broken so skipped hardware recording this time. Instead tinkered with stem export and applied light post production on song to "modernize" it. Interested in exploring this with actual hardware w/ several passes of recording different rom exports w/ muted channels. Completed a few other tracks this week for a compilation. Song length does not meet WB requirements though. Also had a long LSDJ session recorded as a demo for something.

Week 22 - onezero - Fleetwith Pike

Sun, 31 May 2026 16:55:16 GMT

This one is the result of a couple of sessions, late Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. I picked up the PureSalem Mendiola and plugged it straight in, coming up with the harmonics-and-fretted-note theme that appears in the left channel at 1:18, and started responding to that. Turns out it was in 3/4, so we have a kind of waltz here. Unlike some pieces, this one came together really quickly--not a lot of jigsaw work in editing. While last week's piece seems like a new direction, this one is in keeping with the pieces before. (I've had unsatisfying compositional results when I go back to the well with the same bucket right away.) So this doesn't break any new ground, but it's a nice mood. Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola into the UA Volt 1. Nothing fancy, just some sends to a large room convolution reverb, and the compression/eq/limiting on the stereo. The title comes from the Fleetwith Pike fell, with a 648m elevation. (I've never been there, but it'd be interesting to see.) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Let’s go on a mellow stroll at night, in Riegrovy Sady in Prague! It’s summertime, people are enjoying being outdoors and it’s just calm. This week I tried something a bit more challenging than previously, where I wanted to have a progression from acoustic to electric guitar. I think it rendered pretty well and resulted in a good atmosphere and pretty dancy. As usual on the iPhone, but I had bigger plans for the submission (with lyrics and all) but ended up making something a bit lighter in terms of production. Included in the back is the recording of me walking in the park with my dog around midnight on Friday evening.

Also, I'm hoping to get one of my friends to rap on this at some point, it would be fire. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Janky Jams - Emergence

Sun, 31 May 2026 16:02:28 GMT

Saturday was the annual international Drone Day, and that means we did our annual all-day drone stream train at Earth Modular Society again. I played a half-hour live set on stream as one of a couple dozen performers. This track is a condensed re-recording. Tried to keep it short, but still had to drop the mp3 encoding quality a bit to make it fit inside the file size limit... Anyway, hope you like growly rumbling. True to the name, we start dark and sinister, but a brighter melody will emerge... Patch notes, in order of mixer channels: 1: Collide 4 and Vhikk X feedbacking into each other. Crossfade (Axys) and lowpass (Dual Dagger) before mixer 2: Serge GTO into Serge VCFS 3: Serge GTS, hard synced to GTO, into Oxi Meta in Filter mode 4: Serge Stereo VCFQ pinged in low pass mode as the "Kick" 5: Three Body playing with independently tuned oscillators playing a chord sequence created by the Spacewalk VST. Filtered by QPAS. 6: Monumatic playing the same chord sequence 7: Starlab return channel 8: Mimeophon return channel Video: SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/jankyjams/emergence 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 31 May 2026 15:59:38 GMT

Okay, initially I started with a chord progression but halfway in, I felt that it didn't work out. So I started something different, drums first this time, then bass. Had a lead hook in my that didn't match the tempo. Great. Squeezed it in anyways and rendered the (kinda finished) first half. Better luck next time, I guess. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Pretty tired today with a headache after a gig last night, so after fidgeting with a song that was going to be too much effort i resurected a project from earlier this year. There was some synth samples from the timestill in here, but mostly it was all done on Ableton in the box. First time this year I've really done that, feels a little weird it's been that long.

I started this week's track by building out a percussion Comnbinator that I could control the individual volumes of each track, with sequencing coming from the Beat Map Player. After setting the percussion up, I worked on adding bass, pads and a couple of melodic themes to the track. After arranging, I mixed, EQ'd and mastered the track. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

If I had words I’d write a thousand songs I would have just begun To tell of your mercies If I could sing Until my voice gives out I’d make the rocks cry out To finish the story Your love endures forever Your mercy’s never-failing If I could fill the heavens I’d let the sky resound with praise If I was bought Bought with your precious blood My voice belongs to God All for his praises A life reborn A song that is never done Your love goes on and on New every morning 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 31 May 2026 12:11:23 GMT

so it is a little Weekly Beats milestone for me this week! Yup, week 22, but this is my 200th track submitted! What a wild number. It's not 200 tracks with artwork as I was taking 2024 lightly, but hey, we can celebrate that another time, right? So, weirdly, once I worked that out, this track just became a weird weight of thoughts and errors. It very nearly got rebooted when I noted it was always tanking my cpu becasue the bitrate was set too high. Some guitars have overload clicks, the mix was messy, I randomly got into a chord progression in the bridge that moved the rest of the track into a very slightly different key. But, we persist, thats what we do. I also thought I'd give the 'Jimmy Eat World - Lucky Denver Mint' ending, becasue why not, it's my track, I'll put delay on drums if I want. So yeah. A weird ol' week. and life isn't getting any less busy right now, so here's to everyone keeping on truckin'. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I didn't have a lot of time this week. Busy at work and at home. I also didn't get to listen to and comment on that much. This is a bit more of the same compared to what I did the last couple of weeks. Piping midi from Tidal Cycles into Ableton Live, where I had lots of VSTs running. I think it came out okay.

Week 22 - evanericksonmusic - Steel and Siren

Sun, 31 May 2026 03:17:51 GMT

This week I was feeling really nostalgic for the techno my Dad would play when we went on road trips. I remember looking out the window as we drove by the large lake bordering Madison, Wisconsin while listening to spacious dnb like this. Hope this rectifies my chaos streak I’ve been on. Between this and my track with Bobbyd, I held a lot of restraint to try and make songs with different structures. Despite how it may come across, I do really want to make “normal” music, too. I don’t want everything to be a challenge or a big selfish pot of ideas. A huge goalpost as a composer, though, is to figure out how to insert enough of yourself into something without it being derivative. When I make a song like this versus “The Club in My Pillow” (which I had my RMR lesson on today), it comes from a place of wanting to make something for other people instead of for myself. I’ve thought about it a lot… now that I do not get to play my clarinet anymore, which was my tool for bringing joy to my communities by playing for children, the elderly, and giving opportunities to under resourced musicians, I do not have much of an outlet for bringing people together. So, that’s some of the energy tied to this song. Also check out bobbyd’s track that we collabed on this week. There’s a very charming vocaloid melody in it. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 22 - jegasus - The Ant Soldier

Sun, 31 May 2026 02:38:32 GMT

### Lore His home was destroyed. He stood there, unable to react. Not even able to shed a tear for all who were inside when it happened. Pure numbness overtook him. After standing there for what felt like hours, staring vacantly at the ruins, he felt something inside him break. No longer willing to put up with the constant oppression, he picked up a long stick and headed towards the seat of power. His determination was magnetic: as he marched, others who had also been affected decided to join in and march by his side, arming themselves with whatever they could find along the way. After two long days of travel, the group finally arrived. He looked back and saw his army had grown by the thousands! Tons of others, just like him, hungry with rage and thirsty for revenge. Sid was going to pay for what he did, no matter what kind of bug spray his parents applied on him. ### Production Details This week I'm relying on some very basic core elements I've used in many other songs (song structure, sound palette, key signature, etc) because I couldn't afford to get fancy and experiment all that much. I didn't have much time for music making during the week and now I'm out traveling with family. I'm even posting this early on Saturday because I'll be driving most of Sunday. It's beach time, babyyyy! But anyways, that meant I had to save time and go super simple with this song, so I kept in A Minor and only used the M8's WAVSYNTH engine. I had started this piece sometime earlier in the week and then sat down and fleshed it out today over about an hour. I'm really happy with the chromatic little pings that come in halfway and just do their own thing regardless of the key signature. I did not expect it to work well at all, but I feel like it ended up becoming one of the defining features of the song! Sadky, no YouTube video for this one since eim on the road. Hope y'all have a great week!!! (M8 bundle coming next week when I'm back home) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 22/Song 9 After a hiatus from song writing (been focusing on being one with nature, learning cover songs, and celebrating another year around the sun...sprinkled with adulting galore), I'm back and down to the wire for completing a song this month. I threw trying something new to the wind and decided to just let it roll and finally finish a song. Lyrics: We don’t need superheroes flying around trying to save us all. Capes and masks can not heal us from the pain within our soul. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. We don’t need false idols making us feel so small. Cheap thrills and masquerade balls concealing all that is real. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. (Instrumental) We don’t need superheroes flying around trying to save us all. We don’t need false idols making us feel so small. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. All we need, all we need, All we need, all we need is a little love, faith, and hope. A little love. A little faith. A little hope.

Week 22 - Nueli - Soudain, rien (shitty bass cover)

Sat, 30 May 2026 19:27:39 GMT

HUBRIS was in PROMO this week. Or maybe it's the heat wave? It's Saturday, after an exhausting week and at the start of a busy weekend I take my bass and try to cover my own song from last week. After all if we don't defy the gods once or twice who are we? So it's Saturday morning. Black skirt on and fan blowing on my back to help with the heat. My bass is jurry-rigged to the M8 via my amp (using the headphone jack) to record the two melodic lines and the percussion. then it's editing time, selection, normalization of each note, effects, a bit of mixing. I guess what I lack in chops I made up for in courage? Ideally I would like to make at least another song using my bass this year. I like the instrument. I just fail repeatedly to start a consistent practice schedule so it sits in the corner of the living room, reanimated for a few weeks each year as if I were a necromancer. Anyway. I hope you have an excellent week. Yes you the reader reading my exhausted brain vomiting words on the keyboard. People here continue to amaze me, each week there are new musical treasures to discover. So hydrate, call your loved ones and make music! 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Week 22 - Dank Receptor - Fussy Trioxide

Sat, 30 May 2026 18:47:26 GMT

2000: Found two dead cheap and broken C64s in a weird, dirty second hand shop. They were abandoned in cardboard box on the sidewalk, and I figured I had to rescue them. 2009: Ordered a MSSIAH cartridge with plans to make some SID acid on the 64s. 2026: Actually started repairing the computers. Desoldered a bunch of chips, put in sockets, fucked around, learned stuff, bought replacement chips, and had RESULTS. The first machine to be revived was a C64C with a 6581 SID. Sounds fun (and great for most applications), but not very good for the MSSIAH Bassline acid. The next one was a C64G with an 8580 SID. And it sounds absolutely excellent as a TB-303 cousin! Here's a quick little squelch jam along with an 808. Spring reverb/Mackie/Analog Heat dirt on top. Just some whatever patterns and traditional drums, hey ho let's go to town. I really like how closely the MSSIAH implemented the pattern programming of the TB-303. You can bash them out quickly, don't even need to have a monitor connected when you memorize a few button presses. Recorded live to stereo. Edits for coolness. VULF compressor for chunk. MIDI knobs for synth tweakage. Good times, thanks for checking in.

Week 22 - Ashtom - Athena Rising

Sat, 30 May 2026 17:01:36 GMT

This week saw the release of a new album from a very influential band to me: Boards Of Canada (BoC) released Inferno this Friday. I took the train on Thursday evening to attend to one of the many listening parties that happened around the globe that day. It was a great experience, all these people moved by the same sound in a sort of religious gathering. I really enjoyed it. I was then very much inspired and I made this week's track on my way back, in the train. Then today, I made the arrangement and proceeded to the recording. This time, I took more care in how I recorded. I went through several ideas, but in the end, I realized that the sound of BoC is a savant melange between lofi textures and hifi beats. So instead of recording everything on cassette like I usually do these days, I mixed cassette recording and direct export from the Deluge into Reason (like some kind of parallel processing). The cassette recording followed my usual practice but this time, I really committed. I created a version of the track at double speed with a master transposition of 12 semitones (and without drums), recorded at full speed, and then played back at half speed into a Zoom H1n recorder. That recording was then added to the normal mix where I turned down the volume of the hifi version to make more space to the lofi textures, but I kept the drums hifi and at full volume. I think the result really shine and is worth the effort. And bringing all this effort makes me more convinced of the quality of the final track. So here it is, a track inspired by Boards Of Canada, in celebration of the release of their new album (which I already love by the way). I hope you'll like it, and if you do, please let me know! Have a nice week everyone. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

A one take performance using a custom instrument I built in Falcon with some more custom erhu samples I recorded from the talented Felix Wang. The instrument is keysplit into two parts. One for the high microsounds with only minimal processing and one for the low percussive hits which contains heavier tone shaping and reverb. I also played the high sounds down much lower later in the piece to create a pseudo beat. Things morph and change the more I hold the keys down due to the original sample used. All performed on the Oxi One which has turned out to be a great little midi controller too. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Hey WB! Long time, no see! It has been a while, but I'm counting this one as my May submission so it's still hitting my one song per month goal! Woohoo! This song is about depression! Woohoo! My depression tends to take the form of demons in my head telling me that everything I do is trash and I'm a bad and worthless person. They've grown a lot quieter as I've gotten older (and wiser?) but every once in a while they get really fucking loud and it sucks. Hope y'all are hanging in there! Don't let the demons win! › lyrics‹ lyricsEvery time I lay my head down there are demons in my dreams They keep telling me I'm no good and nobody will love me Now I'm thinking that they've got a point and that I'm unworthy Of ever knowing love or ever knowing what it feels like to be free I'm wracked with self doubt and it never lets me out from its crushing grip My sense of self worth drags on the cold ground held on by a string Now those demons whisper I'm a burden, and I'm a waste of space And all those people who claim to love me are lying to my face Am I a bad person?

Week 22 - muhamor - grid pondering times

Fri, 29 May 2026 23:55:01 GMT

Hello! › Production Notes‹ Production Notes This week I'm taking a break from future bass studies with some DnB breakbeats. I started with the GRID_171 break at its full BPM. I chopped it up into 8th note slices and mostly played it through with some variations and layering with DnB rebellion one-shots. Then I started pulling in samples from the M8 jungle pack that was shared on the M8 discord last summer and threw together the different sections. Interestingly, this track is entirely composed with samples -- no M8 synths here! Technically I also used some vocals (human and bird). I'd love to get some more variation into the sections, but there's also no more time to do music stuff this week :). Thanks for listening! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 22 - Mamoriya - Safety Valve

Fri, 29 May 2026 22:34:13 GMT

It's entrance exam season where I live and I've been extremely stressed. This song was quite literally made to cope - I feel like I would've gotten several aneurysms if I didn't do music to chill out. The secondary purpose of this track was to learn how to use sample packs for more than just drum loops, hence the unusual-for-me BY-NC-ND license - I don't think I can release this under BY-NC-SA in good faith. I'll be back with more copylefted music next month. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Minnamari - Mind Gone

Fri, 29 May 2026 22:12:54 GMT

Enough ramblings, it's time for music... I have been working on season 2 for my Mysterious Studies podcast, and challenging myself to actually let people know it exists, sharing clips and posts.. But with all this, I am eternally reminded about this beautiful dance between purpose and purposelessness - something that feels meaningful one moment can feel like a bunch of pointless ramblings the next. Podcasts are a lot of talking talking talking. And this chatter of mine is often of a mental character. It has it's place, but, after this week of being exposed to my own chatter so much in cutting clips from the video, I could use a little break. This is where music comes in - a counterpoint - an opening - an inviataion - an opportunity to create space beyond the purely mental (though there's plenty of music that can be very mental indeed)... In either case, hope you enjoy this song that helped me lose my mind for a bit. My voice breaking from time to time is a feature, to inspire you to share your music no matter how "imperfect" it may feel to you. Your music could just make someone else's day. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics My mind is gone A balloon in the air Up in the air Is there someone who could get me down from here? Oh, it was such a gorgeous sight Letting go without a fight No mind, No thoughts, No worries No longer need to hold a light (eh...let's see) You can go on and so can I No need to question why What could be and what could not And what I thought should have been a lot No longer any way to know I drop the oars so I can't row And there it goes, and there it goes So let it go Sometimes a- Sometimes a mindless existence has its place But what are we? What am I, if I'm not a mind? If I'm not a mind? I don't mind, I will find some way to be that's for me, that's right for me.

Week 22 - cistern stairs - rainbow shards

Fri, 29 May 2026 22:04:23 GMT

goal at start 5/27: Experiment with solving the "second loop problem" by give extra care in choosing sounds that compliment the sounds in the first loop. See if a melody arises from that easier. end notes 5/29: Most of the clarity issues I encountered on this one arose from melodies being too hyper active at one point or another. I spent a lot of time removing notes here and there so there was space for everything to fit together. plan for next week: I think I'll go back to what I was doing a couple of weeks ago and reference other songs that have layers I can follow along with and try to replicate some things from those. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 22 - Earp Lug - Rainy

Fri, 29 May 2026 15:25:15 GMT

This piece is a combination of a few different recordings that I made this week. The intro was created as I was messing around and preparing for an extended jam that I planned to be about 20-30 minutes that I would created visuals to for my Video Sketch Archive - https://www.youtube.com/@sc0o0tt I was interrupted by some door-to-door salesmen selling me some garbage I don't need, and the recording ended up only being a few minutes long. I thought the intro, which was performed on my Sonicware Liven Ambient 0, was pretty cool, so I EQed it into oblivion and it actually sorta sounds like a piano (originally it was just raw wave forms I think). The next part was this cool rhythmic space I found on the Ambient 0 a few days later. Every time I pressed some keys, the filter would reset, and so I played an ascending and descending melody on it for a little while. The third part I created specifically for this song once I had combined the first two. I messed around with preset A.55 (because it looks like a naughty word on the digital screen), and added some delay into the patch alongside messing around with the cutoff, resonance, attack, and release. I really like playing notes into a delay, so it allowed me to make some repeating melodies. I tried to play this one in a higher register so it wouldn't be combatting for sonic space with the other recordings, and I EQed everything to try to separate their sounds a bit more. The visuals were created by filming during a very rainy day. The camera's screen made everything look extremely muted and gray, to the point that I wasn't even really sure what it was aimed at for a lot of the recording, but I added in a ton of contrast in post that also brought out some nice saturation and allowed me to actually figure out what the heck the camera had been pointing at the whole time. https://youtu.be/Y3ubqNsv-Tk 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

At least you still listened, Don't taze me, bro. -------- Tried to make this one in a major key. Or at least something different. It's hard to make music with the intent of being joyful rather than the usual feeling of "make it as intense as I can." A lot of my lyrics are dark. Not sure why, maybe just because they sound cool or maybe because there's some kind of internal turmoil. I dunno, it's just music.

Fri, 29 May 2026 05:19:04 GMT

I wanted to feature the Akai Rhythm Wolf a bit more. It's a challenge to work with in the mixing and mastering stage. I'm not very good at things like taming rogue frequencies and getting clarity out of the noise without clipping so... yeah, here we are. I'd like to turn this into a series, so this is "No. 1" and the title is both in acknowledgement of the greatness of the 303 as well as the name of a burrito (the "Wolf & Goat") from a local restaurant. I liked how the hi-hats turned outs. The kick and "snare" are pretty rough though. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Not really speedtrash exactly, but definitely speedtrash-adjacent. The bones of this have been kicking around on my M8 for ages. So I fleshed it out some instead of cooking up something new this (busy) week. The vocal-ish sounds are from recordings of WebSDR. And the distorted drums are a mangled sample of an Omnichord's "country" rhythm preset. Everything else is M8 synths. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Another very straightforward track for this weeks weekly beats. Musically very simple just a 2 chord vamp from F#m7 - DM9 The idea was a late 80's / early 90's retro house track and I chose sounds to be era appropriate. Made with Bitwig. Drums are the excellent V8 built in 808 drum machine from Bitwig The pad is V Collection Casio CZ through Arturia tape sim with a lot of wonk Lead is a Roland D-50 Bass is a Lately Bass from Hive tweaked to be a bit more squishy and fuzzy 303 is Phoscyon Vocals are Synthesizer V again although Saros 2 this time which I've been very impressed with for a more soulful type of sound.

Week 22 - zeropass - Channel

Wed, 27 May 2026 14:47:39 GMT

Energetically, this song is about taking energy, any energy and transmuting it into another direction. Compositionally, it's a personal effort to make use of more "space". I think I tend to compose with the intention of filling all the empty space, and that often works against me. So there is a "breathing" aspect to this one. It's not exactly where I want to be, but it's in the correct direction. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if you're interested, just ask. It was drone day on Saturday. My idea this year was to utilize Analog Rytm as the only audio source. That's what I did, multitracked it with Overbridge. The drone sound in the first part is from the HH LAB. The drones in the second part are SY DUAL VCOs. And some distorted toms sprinkled around for variety. 50 BPM 4/4, C-minor. For this year every cover art is a photo I took.

Week 21 - sleepside - Meeting a Deer God on Yonah Mountain

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:59:58 GMT

This is inspired by a hike in which my wife and I saw a deer less than 20 feet (6 meters) away from us, totally unbothered by our presence, majestic in the golden hour light. We both agreed it must have been a deer god. The bridge directly uses part of the 1928 recording of Vaughn Williams's "The Lark Ascending." (In the USA, this recording is considered public domain). Other than this, I have used Christian Hansen's Tunnel Bodhran sample pack for low drum, noise for snare, my own lyre for the main lyre part, a triangle synth bass, an FM-based organ, my own recording of a rainy forest, and bone and bug sounds from MrdrCat 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I had an epic idea in my head using the (maybe overhyped?) Tape 16 DAW for sound on sound purposes, but one of my Windows machines, reserved for the task, had a failure and I spent half the weekend fighting about a (now dead) unresponsive SSD drive. So Linux and Mac it is, then. This was made is less than 3 hours. Ultra boring beat made as a demo of my new Renoise 3.1.1 kit of the Boss DR220 drum machine. It used an instance of TAL Noise Maker for a very Moroder-esque mono synth, though I never found a way to integrate the line as lead, so I relegate it to just carrier of the vocoder while the whole beat act as a modulator. Sort of an instant singing synth. The "choir voice" was taken from some of those early nineties sample CD. Not much variation. I run out of time and finished my upload just 19 seconds before the deadline. I'm off duty until Friday. Hope to catch up with your songs.

A friend introduced me to the music duo Ekcle, an interesting mix of lo-fi, hyperpop, and glitch. That became the initial inspiration for this one, though then I sort of forked off onto my own thing. I spend a decent amount of time time tinkering with some thick bass sounds and automating an FX chain per note-hit. Struggled a bit trying to arrange it, eventually settled on a decent bassline and added some chiptunes sounding drums, some chords, and lots of little glitchy sounding samples. Glitchy IDM meets chiptunes or something? * Splice Samples for drums, SFX, some bass sounds * Ableton Wavetable + Cradle.io * Transit, Valhalla plugins + Ableton stock plugins * Gullfoss + Izotope Elements for master Total time spent: 4.5 hours 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - Continuous Nonlinearities - Beyond the squirrel barrier

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:56:31 GMT

What started as another ambient soundscape attempt got quickly derailed and who knows what it is now. I got a couple new pedals, the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Dark Star and Parting, both of which lent themselves well to the soundscapey when I first started playing around with them. I am unsure why I am having difficulty translating that into my intent. I definitely got distracted with drums. Edited down from an initial jam, I think I might've edited too short tbh, but it felt like a good place to start in the recording, which might've been a bit too directionless/repetitive otherwise. Maybe one day I'll be happy with everything all at once. Equipment-wise, I'm also in a bit of a struggle, in that my archaic multitrack recorder is not working well and needs replacement, but replacement has not happened yet. I'm trying alternatives but they're not comfortable yet. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:44:43 GMT

Hello! › Production Notes‹ Production Notes I'm not sick this week! Hooray! I'm back on the M8 and back to future bass. This is very loosely inspired by Flume and EPROM's version of Is It Cold in the Water. The biggest production note is I got a splice subscription and downloaded some vocal samples to play around with. It still feels tricky to fit in vocals with words, so I chopped and processed an adlib into some interesting sounds. The rest is pretty straightforward m8 synth work: - impbox's DIA CHORDS instrument for the pads - plucky wavsynth - WAVSYNTH wavetable for the bass - stock kick/snare drums This track could use some more work to fill in the sections and smooth out the transitions, but it's already 20 minutes until the deadline :O. The M8 tells me that this took me about 3 hours of work time, so I think I'm getting a little faster at throwing stuff together. Hope your week is going well and your beats are fresh.

Week 21 - FardyCakes - Debris

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:38:55 GMT

This is probably the most "finished" tune I've uploaded thus far. It's an old song of mine that I never felt I arranged properly. I really fleshed this out on the DirtyWave M8 with drum programming and synths. Added the guitars and vocals after the fact. Recorded into Ardour 9 on AV Linux, all FOSS.

Week 21 - Laineken - ORIGINAL RECORDINGS FOR YOU TIO SAMPLE

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:37:17 GMT

Hey everyone, full disclosure, I meant to shorten a few of these drastically before adding them in but I forgot to, and now I can't erase the file I uploaded because then it won't let me upload another one… So skip through as you please, some of them are drawn out too far, I wish there was a way to replace the audio file. I have a weird one this week. I was going through my music on my SP404 seeing what I wanted to upload for the week and I ended up deciding to share a bunch of random weird things that I've made that I think would be cool for you to sample. I like to make my own samples much of the time and I like to sample weird things, and this is just a collection of weird things I've made to sample at some point and I know I'll never get around to sampling everything, this is just a small portion of the random recordings that have on my SP to **SaMpLe SoMeDaY** ... I thought it would be cool to share and see if anyone wants to use anything and to hear what you make! I'm not expecting anyone to use any of the stuff but I just think it would be kind of cool to come back next week and find that somebody did haha. It's in no particular order, very random things, please try to enjoy haha, or just skip to the next song if you want to hear real music :) If you end up using something here, please comment on this post and let me know because I would love to check it out!

Week 21 - Deadski - I Was Born To Be A Ghost

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:36:04 GMT

Week 21 - Michael Morrow - Mercy Said To Justice

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:34:54 GMT

The idea for this week’s song came a couple of weeks ago as I was writing about forgiveness. I remembered again what a crazy idea it is that God could be both Just and Forgiving. But it’s true. Sometimes the Bible talks about God by personifying his characteristics, like when Righteousness and Peace kiss in Psalm 85:10, or when wisdom gives a speech in Proverbs 8. I’ve followed in that tradition, trying to imagine what would happen if Justice and Mercy got together to negotiate what to do about sinful people. This is quite possibly the weirdest song I’ve ever written. It helped when I came across an interview last week between Mike Errico and George Saunders. Saunders talked about ‘freakifying’ your work, which I take to mean following the weirdness of an idea to its natural freakiness. Inevitably this creates something that only you could have made. I highly recommend this interview. It’s packed full of gems for creative people. Mercy said to Justice ‘I think that we should talk. We are both so different But I’d like to make it work You and I are both so far apart But can we try and make a start?’ Justice said, ‘You need to know I cannot play pretend. I cannot say that it’s alright I cannot condescend When the weak cry out, I can’t ignore Otherwise what am I for? Mercy said, ‘I know you care And I feel just the same But is there room for kindness When you only speak of blame? Don’t you think you’re hung up on the past? I can turn around the sinner’s heart Mercy took a breath and looked away Justice couldn’t find a better answer Something strong was keeping them apart But nothing is as strong as Love Justice said to Mercy ‘My justice must be done I cannot leave a sinner In the grip of guilt and shame I believe the truth can set you free Let the sinner come to me.’ Mercy said to Justice ‘If you had your way You’d punish all the guilty ones And no one would remain Condemnation never was enough We need to leave some room for Love’ Mercy took a breath and looked away Justice couldn’t find a better answer Something strong was keeping them apart But nothing is as strong as Love Love was waiting patiently And hearing all they said Love could see the things they loved And see the way they cared Then, when they had nothing more to say Love showed them the better way First he turned to Justice: ‘Let Justice punish me Then let Mercy do her work To set the sinner free I will give myself so they can live That is what it means to love’ Mercy took a breath and looked away Justice couldn’t find a better answer Something strong was keeping them apart But nothing is as strong as Love Justice couldn’t hide his shock ‘How can that be fair? The innocent would suffer While the guilty ones are spared! Are you asking me to be unjust? I expected more from Love’ Love looked back with love And said, ‘I know a better way But it will take a lifetime And that life will end in pain I will live and die as one of them And I will break the curse of sin.’ Love began the journey With nothing to his name And finished on a lonely hill Hanging there in shame And Mercy came with Justice to the cross And marvelled at the work of Love 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - onezero - Early Winters Spires

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:27:24 GMT

For the last two or three years or so, I've been limiting pieces to shorter than four minutes, as a way of enforcing focus. This one, though, seemed to need to exceed five minutes, so I'm gradually letting myself free from some constraints. The first themes I recorded Friday night were the second and third themes in the finished piece. I wanted to do something that formed out of more sparsity, thinking of Slowdive's "Rutti." While I recorded something in that direction, it didn't quite fit with the rest. In a second session Saturday night, I recorded the two themes with harmonizing melodies, followed by the long first theme in the finished piece, which fit much better than the earlier one. This one seemed to work best as a long build, and inspired by the example of jwh's week 20 piece, I gave myself license to include the whole thing as a unified, mood-creating intro. The first several things I recorded seemed to start on the 4 of the first measure, beginning with a rest, so getting this to fit together required a few shifts in relation to the expected start of the measure. The harmonized lines needed a little shifting as well: I'd gone for intuitive timing, but they worked better when tightened up. The signal chain: three tracks of home-built Res-O-Glas Belmont with Lace Alumitones. The left and right channels went straight into the UA Volt, but the center-panned channel went through a JHS Colourbox 10, with the lows boosted and mids attenuated. This time, I kind of embraced overdriving the input, another change from the stay-clean approach. There's a moodiness and determination about this that I kind of like. The title comes from the prominence of the Early Winters Spires, at 647 m. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - Joshua Morgan - Duck! (slowed&reversed with delay&reverb)

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:27:11 GMT

Had less time for this than I did for the discord challenge this track was born form. I actually spent less time making this song than the song itself ;) Like the title suggests, I took the track I submitted for the m8 discord challenge with theme of 'Animals' and reversed the track and slowed it way way down. then added Arturia rev plate 40 and Soundtoys little plate as well as Echo boy sandwiched in-between. The OG track was already and included the amazing sausage fattener/ decapitator chain I love so very much! Hope you enjoy this weird weird track. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Very fast session in Koala since I just didn't have time this week and the deadline is in 45 minutes. Percussion is all pitched mouth sounds and me hitting a book. The two synth sounds are both samples from a Microfreak. I love Koala but I am RUSTY. Sorry - hopefully I will do better next week! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 21 - jegasus - Communing with Animal Spirits

Sun, 24 May 2026 23:17:25 GMT

### Lore You seek guidance. The Old Wise Ones can surely help. You find the right spot in the the forest and kneel down, sitting on your feet, your eyes closed. You lower your whole body and touch your forehead to the ground, your palms feeling the raw earth. Your soul calls out. Once. Twice. Three times. No response. You don't give up, though. You know this is the right place. They can't have left. They just can't. Your throat starts to clench up and your eyes begin to well with tears. They can't have left... They can't have... Then you start to hear it. So softly that, at first, you question if it's just your imagination. The sound gets louder. Not only that, but you can feel Them. Their wisdom so deep it generates a protective and soothing aura. You even feel their footsteps as they approach. An enormous brown paw touches your shoulder with unspeakable tenderness, beckoning you to get up. You abide and the spirit wraps you in a massive hug. You are safe. At least for a moment. ### Production details Howdy folks!!! I tried something super different this time. I was inspired by Huabun's "Descent" (from WB2026 W20) and others like PeterM and Tone Matrix (among others) who often have these super pretty improvisational sessions, so I decided to try my hand at doing the same! I thought it would also be a good way to incorporate the Expressive E Osmose synth I got a while back but rarely use in my compositions. Since the M8 Community Jam's theme was "Animals", I wanted tried to find a bowed or fluted preset that sounded like a wounded animal in a forest pleading its hunter for mercy. But then playing around with the presets, I found this one I really liked called Arcadia Pan and shifted gears - instead of a wounded animal, I thought it made more sense to have something more spiritual and mysterious. So I started playing around in A-minor (easy to remember because it's all white keys) and after a while, I got a 1-ish minute take that felt self contained enough that I could call a song. I then put that through the M8 to add lots of reverb and OTT, then I exported it to Reaper. In Reaper, I also added another layer of the original take, but pitched up an octave. Super happy with the results, but MAN is it hard to make a continuous take properly, holy crap! Hahahahaha... Keeping time is so, so hard!!! Anyways, hope y'all had a great week!!! Cheers, folks!

I was trying out a new plugin by Virtual Riot called Bismuth on this one. But I wish that I had started with designing a sound in there first.

Week 21 - miraclemiles - coconut milk latte break

Sun, 24 May 2026 22:56:59 GMT

Hmmm, actually this might be a sequel to Coconuts for the Queen from a few weeks ago. Our merry band of travelers (drummers, synthesists and the like) delivered the coconuts. We had a party and made some delicious lattes. Someone told a mildly dirty joke and the queen seemed offended, but had a good laugh in the end because that's what happens when partying to a funky break beat and squiggly synth business. --- Started this on drums, went off on a kind of break thing I had in my head and riffed on that for a long while. Then went off on the Circuit Monostation and Circuit Tracks. Voices from voice memos recorded throughout the week. I think I did make, or wanted to make a coconut milk latte, which I will may go do now as well!

Week 21 - Snyderman - SMS Plus House (SMS + OPLL)

Sun, 24 May 2026 22:50:43 GMT

This description is as much for listeners that care as it is for me as an archive when I return to this in the future and forget a lot of it. I started this track as a reverse engineer of this early 90s house tune from 1992, something I found in the early days of YouTube (2008ish?) when it was a truly amazing tool for music discovery, before the usual tech incentives made it awful. "Untitled Track 1" by High Society from Spare Beat Records (SBRR05), 1992 from the days of piano house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnW-P5JL-hc&list=RDRnW-P5JL-hc&start_radio=1 Obviously that very 808-ish tom right off the bat is one of the few things that the OPLL can do well. I decided to put a lot of things together that I've been building up over the last little while. It's using the SMS+OPLL in percussion mode: 3 square wave, 1 noise, 6 FM channels, 5 FM percussion channels. I didn't use every single one all the time but I did use most channels throughout the track. I took a lot of time putting together a session; pulling instruments from several different tracks so I had instruments for the percussion channels, variants for the 15 OPLL presets (volume envelopes work even on firm patches), a few SMS patches, creating the right swing groove. I spent a lot of today just chugging away at a tune. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but frankly I'm tired of looking at it since I've been working on it for 4-5 hours. I should come back to this one at a later date and really flesh it out. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 21 - dadboy - Letting go (or trying to, at least)

Sun, 24 May 2026 22:28:54 GMT

Veeeeeery nearly didn't submit a track this week, and I actually was OK with it. I've decided to make some bigger life changes (working on going back to school), and just realizing that I'll need to reprioritize how I spend my time. I'd like to keep up with WB, but I'm not certain it will make the cut. At a minimum, I'm definitely going to have to scale back the pressure or attention I give it, so if you've been enjoying my recent low effort ambient stuff, you're in luck! So for this week, I'd actually decided I was OK if I didn't finish a track. Then this morning I started › Warning: Gross‹ Warning: Grossthrowing up blood and realized that I almost certainly wouldn't finish one. But, in the end, after I saw a doctor and established that I'm (hopefully) OK, at least for the moment, I ended up deciding that I wanted to finish something. I didn't feel like I had to, but I wanted to. That feels like a good place to be—doing this because I want to, not because I feel like I have to. So here! Enjoy some more speedtrash ambient, have a good week, and take good care of yourselves! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Here's an electric guitar blues sounding tune. I made it today after around 19:30. With my limited chops, it took about 4 takes with another 4 tries for the solo. It's a fun one to play on looper too, but in this recording I just did 2 recordings instead of struggling to get it all in one. It should be easy enough to play as a beginner guitarist, u just gotta get the rhythm right and then it's the same figure over and over.

Sun, 24 May 2026 22:22:42 GMT

There are these things called "presets" that smart people use so that they don't have to do all their sound design from scratch for each track. Of course, as with many things which simplify life and make me more productive, I tend to ignore their existence. In an effort to try and change that, I built a just-over-a-minute track using nothing but M8 factory presets. Honestly quite satisfied with the results. I feel like it could be an intro to a video game or a show. It isn't, but if you're making a video game or show you're welcome to change that fact. M8 bundle available on request.

Hey everyone, hope you had a great week. I for myself did. Started the week by having some days off and then went and visited a gaming convention during the weekend where a friend of mine had their own booth at the indie gaming area where they showcased a university game project they are working on right now. It was great outside of me catching a ear infection which made my left ear really sensitive to loud noises and also made me not really hear low frequency stuff very well for a few days and its only started clearing out today so excuse any weirdness happening in the (reused an old fm patch project i started years ago) song this week. I kinda ignored mixing by ears and just tried adjusting levels by looking at the meters so i hope it doesent sound too weird. At last i made it another week so that at least feels good i guess. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - jemmons - Halic

Sun, 24 May 2026 21:41:03 GMT

I had a thing in mind with this but I don’t know what it was. I wrote the little lilting swells first and they reminded me of something… then, because I couldn’t put my finger on it, that something haunted me the rest of the week. I couldn’t remember what it was I was remembering and I couldn’t find the source anywhere after going through the entirety of my trance collection. Maybe it was here? I hope I didn’t rip anyone off, but if I did, please let me know. I’m traveling, so this was done entirely on an M8. Most parts of the M8 are delightful. But something I have real trouble with is finding a way to automate, say, the amount of filter envelop on a 303-like patch. The envelope is great. And there’s a way to use another ENV or LFO to modulate ENV amount. And all the trigger FX to kick off when you want them in the arrangement. But in practice I spend too much time trying to get them to work, and then when I come back the next day, I’ve forgotten all of what I did, and then I miss one and some filter is opening exponentially throughout the track and… I guess to sum up, I like where this ended up. But I wish there was more movement and that it was more deliberate. And I might have stolen the whole thing from somewhere. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 21 - Leo - Overcaff'd

Sun, 24 May 2026 21:36:14 GMT

All M8. This one's a bit of a bummer. I had the intro for week 20 already, but then stuff came up and I made something else I liked. Decided to revisit the intro I had made, but I couldn't seem to come up with a coherent idea that would make sense with what I had already. So I just decided to throw stuff at the wall to get it out of my system. On to the next week! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 21 - uhhuh_absolutely - Laundry Break

Sun, 24 May 2026 21:35:51 GMT

I have a lot of laundry to do, hence the title. Another track on the M8 using some synth samples I recorded a while back. Short one this time, struggled a bit getting the sax to sit in the mix after rendering the whole mix on the M8. Want to use the built in limiter and OTT and didn't feel like rendering out individual stems, so I guess that's what I get! Weird time right now, mix of a sense of urgency to change or restructure my life and also feel very stuck in the current structures I've built. I've never been one to take many risks. Hope everyone's doing well out there! Thankful to be enjoying some nice sunny weather. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Just a quick hard rock/generi-metal tune trying out a new amp I got, the Randall MTS120, an interesting design that Egnater and Randall amps pioneered, with changeable preamps so you could just slot new sounds into your head. Failed pretty badly, but a few years later Synergy amps perfected and now do quite well with. Often the way lol 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

This song is complete, though I don't think it's done if you know what I mean?

hiii! haven't been here in a long while, here's a plucky little hello/transmission. i'm still tired, but a bit more sorted/less overwhelmed, thus you receive this little thing. i rebuilt my modular, am practicing the piano, getting some routines in (weekly paper planning, people) and am generally a bit less stressed at the moment. i can even deal with unreasonably warm temperatures, a wondrous thing. now if only i manage to go to bed on time and it could be a powerful thing. wait, this is supposed to be about music, maybe: this weeks' thing is one of a bunch of recordings i am doing when i feel like it at the moment. i came back from superbooth with a need for modulation, rebuilt my small case (52hp x 6u = 104hp) with a few new modules to... modulate things! not a lot of that in this one actually, but it's fun to play with/on and even has multiple things going on. next transmission: sometime! probably not next week, i don't want to get right back into being overwhelmed again. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - nerBeater - Satori 2 Whom

Sun, 24 May 2026 20:47:40 GMT

Visual Description: This image is a chaotic, mixed-media digital collage, serving as album artwork. It is composed of overlapping photographic elements and text overlaid on a textured, pale greenish background that resembles a cracked paving stone or a low-resolution mosaic. Text Overlays: Near the top center, the word "NERBEATER" is written in a thin, elegant, peach-orange serif font. In the middle-left area, the word "SATORI" appears faintly in a pale green color that blends into the background texture. Spanning the center and right side is the word "2 Whom" written in a large, thick, black, semi-cursive, graffiti-style font. Visual Elements: Top Right: A fragment of a black computer keyboard is visible, showing keys like "U," "I," "O," "K," "M,", "SPACE", and "Alt." Left Side: A silver metal desk lamp with a long, adjustable arm stands upright. A microphone hangs from the lamp. Its black cord drapes down diagonally across the left side of the composition. Center/Background: Behind the lamp and text is a large, faint, circular grey outline with a textured, reddish-brown rim, resembling a handpan drum. Right Side: There is a heavy, abstract shape rendered in bright, highly saturated, pixelated colors—primarily blinding neon yellow, acid green, cyan, and stark black. This shapes looks like a distorted or heavily processed musical instrument, piece of clothing, or abstract digital glitch art. Bottom: Thick, sweeping black shapes stretch across the bottom left, blending into dark, sharp-edged shadows that mix with the heavily distorted yellow and green textures at the bottom right. A sliver of a blue wire and a computer desk edge peeks in from the bottom left corner. The overall aesthetic is gritty, glitchy, and industrial, with a raw, DIY collage feel. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 24 May 2026 20:36:59 GMT

So I gave "throat singing" a shot this week. It should really be called "nose singing" though cause all the resonant tones come from your sinus region. I'm not very good at it but I was able to get some passable resonances out of it. Put together some hand drums and tambourine with synth bass, backing pads and beat. Spent about 2 hours putting the patterns together for some reason. another 2 hours recording and chopping the voice, hand drum and tambourine. another hour fixing it all together for about 5 hours on the waves. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - neon liminal - same stars (BLUE ENIGMA)

Sun, 24 May 2026 20:32:29 GMT

MOAR TRANCE. Mostly M8, vox and fills and builds in Ableton along with the mix and master. Trance is basically a playground right now for me, some things work, some things don't, but it's actually a very 'forgiving' genre in terms of what you can do sound-design-wise so it's well set for experimentation. There are conventions to the arrangement too but a lot of flexibility there as well. It's tricky to master though, because it's basically a wall of sound with precise percussion. The high end is sounding loud to me right now Sunday afternoon on my "makes everything brighter" headphones, but I think it's okay. This track started out very dub-techno sounding because of some cinematic improv samples I used for the pad, which again, goes to show how the tools can turn something completely different into trance music. The vocals are doing their thing effectively but I'm not satisfied with this treatment yet, more to learn, a lot of variables that can fuck it up. There will be more trance music to come - the M8 is really suited to building this stuff - but this following week I gotta finish my entry for the Red Means Recording Discord challenge, "found sound ambient", and we are going horror-ambient. I'd planned a horror-ambient cycle at some point anyway so might as well get a start, though we might be alternating genres a bit for a while. Meanwhile, the horror-ambient stuff is gonna be proving ground for a setup for Starry Night Cowboy. I ramble because I am exhausted and largely traumatized!

I decided to go on a detour this week, and play around with some more danceable tracks. I wanted to build up some atmospheric Drum & Bass and play with some parts that way. I found a couple of drum loops, along with a set of Rhode piano samples and then started to build up the pads, drums and eventually, the bass. I struggled a bit on the arrangement, so this ended up being a bit shorter than the stuff I've done so far this year. After arranging, I EQ'd, mixed and added final effects before mastering. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I have been watching this YouTube show called solid air, where this person invites famous musicians and artists into his house and they just listen to records together and do a little interview. It’s been really affirming to hear these peoples music tastes and creative processes and remembering these specific artists that I really love that he has interviewed and hearing their processes helped me be inspired to make something a little different this week. I sort of took from multiple people and did my own spin but I started out with a pad like piano and made some chords all live and in one take with a refrain and an octave drop before returning again to the main melody. I verbed the hell out of it and filtered it with some resonance to highlight certain parts of the middle register. Then I played around with a glockenspiel preset to highlight the chords. Added flute trills. Added pads to the refrain. And finally added shaker, bass, and percussion towards the end. the final thing I added was a ride in this weird dotted time because I really wanted the groove of this track to feel different but still consistent and along the lines of it’s sweet kinda nourishing vibe. All and all it’s been a good experience to remember and play with what making music means to me and all the different ways to approach it.

Sun, 24 May 2026 18:50:53 GMT

I started this hoping for a Kazoo. Musescore did disappoint. I wanted to have some sort of a kazoo-Honkytonkpiano encounter. I have to talk to them about this. (A COMPLAINT) (Even though I began my electronic musical journey in the 1970s in a music lab between a couple of Moog Synths-- and was taught via patch chords and ADSR and white noise generators how to sample the waves and create all sort of sonorities-- can't Musescore just devise a kazoo for me?) I also was hoping for a Hurdy-gurdy. (I really want a real one of those.) Alas Musescore did not have one. So block chords, with a jaunty little melody in the Harmonica, which my husband thought sounded like a Wild West Bar-so it is named. The Piano and HonkyTonkPiano sounded too much alike. I was hoping for some quarter-tone dissonance-- as HonkyTonkpiano is supposed to be wildly out of tune. I did play around with Dominant 7th chords and Major 7th chords to raise a few eyebrows. It is a happy piece with a bit of a maybe 1930s swing tempo. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 24 May 2026 18:38:03 GMT

Hi everyone :) A new week, a new Weekly Beat. Well… every week seems to come with its own little challenge. This time it was something I haven’t really experienced like this before: ear fatigue. Even though I really try to keep my listening volume at a reasonable level and avoid producing too loud (especially since I produce almost exclusively on headphones) This weekend it honestly felt like my ears were only working at 70%. I’m not exactly sure what caused it, but maybe some of you have tips on how to deal with that kind of thing? Or maybe I just need a vacation ;) Anyway, here’s my entry for this week, hope you like it :) Have a nice day :) Cheers KaZu P.S. As always, I’m really grateful for any constructive feedback, opinions, and so on :) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - JaiClone - Nasty Cyst

Sun, 24 May 2026 18:36:12 GMT

Another song of yesteryear... I did a demo for this in Pro Tools around 8 years ago and thought I did alright at the time, but since starting with Studio One in 2020 for my first Weekly Beats outing, that demo has been at the back of my mind for how lackluster and 'toothless' it now seems. The general composition is similar to the demo with a few revisions, particularly some lyric tidy up, because there were literally two lines I ad-lib'd nonsense in the original and were just left there because I couldn't think of anything better, and some other lines that were either too repetitive or needed a bit more coherence. Production and performance-wise is the most notable lift over the demo, giving the vocals more oomph and using a better collection of plugins to give it an audio overhaul using my slightly better understanding of mixing. Another thing that always bugged me about the demo is that I didn't properly understand delay fractions and such, so even though the 'dotted 8th' intro is how I intended it to be (I wrote it with an analogue delay pedal), the demo riff only has an 8th note delay, because I couldn't figure out the Pro Tools delay plugin to sound like the pedal. Such a noob... One reason this one took so long to revisit is through my laziness, I intended to reinstall Pro Tools at some point and transfer over whatever elements I could recover from the original demo to Studio One so I wasn't starting from scratch. I eventually reinstalled last year, and........ I couldn't find the project anywhere... So, I dragged the MP3 of the demo into Studio One and used that as a base to rebuild a new project over, and here we are. I'm glad though, it was more work to start again, but better for it. Another reason; I've been having doubts of my vocal and guitar strength the last couple of years as the age progresses further away from youth (and also because I never practice). I remember the chorus vocals being a bit challenging 8 years ago for the original demo, so that's been a hurdle in my head, and I remember getting crazy sore fingers from all the takes. Thankfully though, I managed the vocals and guitars fine, and even felt less sore in the throat and fingers afterwards, even though these vocals have notably more oomph than the original. Yay! Bonus trivia: The riff under the solo is possibly the oldest remnant of my early days of guitar that has made it into any proper songs of mine. I believe I landed on that one when I was around 14 years old, because I remember jamming with a childhood friend of mine I was visiting in my home town after having moved away when I was 12, and we had both discovered guitar while separate. He was very into grunge (because early 90s) and he was throwing down random 'Cobain/Vedder' style vocal ideas over my random riffs because I hadn't even considered singing yet. We were recording to a cassette at the time, but that disappeared years ago. I can still recall the melody he did over that riff because I liked it. When I was writing this song around 2018, it was kind've by accident that this riff became part of it, but it seemed more like a solo moment than a vocal moment, and even though there is probably 0.00000000001% chance that he would even recall an improv melody he did over 30 years ago, it felt a bit icky to use it without asking him. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 24 May 2026 18:23:41 GMT

This week took much inspiration over from a pretty matchbox I found. In life always felt grateful to find myself staying not too distant from railway tracks of my city. That i fail to find a more honest sound then a sound of a moving train to live by. Always sparking a joy upon hearing it. Magnific source of inspiration. [later] Based upon the color combinations from the matchbox’s rail car image, built a inspired m8 theme that I can keep going back to. Here the link to the theme if you’d like to try it out for yourself. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EX4OKgMRsb7PMrQ_i9hKuSWBRqxpVFHl/view?usp=drivesdk Few screenshots of how the theme looks like, to me it appears decent for writing and also joy to mix and master my song with.

Yes, it is. Recycled drums this week, and addition of fun synths over it. Did find a fun free 80's inspired reverb vst as well that I did put into this track quite a bit... :) So basically, my acoustic rock drums (from another of this year track, you can go back to my tracks to find it... ;) ), 70's inspired vst synths (mellotron and other synths emulations). It is a bit of a mess, but it is what it is! Voilà! Picture from last week trip to Calgary, this is Banff railroads... Fitness journey, not bad at all, did about 6,5hrs of cardio, all outside. Weight is steady at about 90 kg. Did eat mostly healthy. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - Cakes - Minnie's Echo

Sun, 24 May 2026 17:31:59 GMT

Monday and Tuesday I was struggling hard trying to build something competent. Wednesday I aborted what I was doing and started from scratch with a Minneapolis funk drum kit on the MPC. The fake Prince Linn Drum played up into a nice drum loop and bassline that I dumped into Logic. Once I got some momentum there the process started flowing. The lead comes out of a gforce SEM. That thing has been crazy good for arpeggios. I leveraged one as a lead element. The stringy synth is out of Analog Lab. It's one of the basic 80's pads. I added some one shot FX and some reverbs and here we are. I'm pleased with it. It may be a bit repetitive for some. The drum loop doesn't let up or vary much, but hopefully there are enough elements on the drum bus to keep a listener engaged or nostalgia-bated. My room for improvement (as usual) is with sheen and shape on some of the elements. There is probably more definition to be had with the synth pads. I may have EQ'd some of the life out of them. I'm also struggling to find more intent with reverbs. I tend to get them in the range of "that sounds good enough" rather than being purposeful and precise. I also spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to tame the kick. Did the MPC guys assume you would not use a bassline when using a Prince drum kit? :) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - emily - the last battle

Sun, 24 May 2026 17:14:30 GMT

puzzle & shift by pauline baynes make narnia great again? "None of that! Hold your noise!" said the Ape with a snarl. "Who said anything about slavery? You won't be slaves. You'll be paid—very good wages too. That is to say, your pay will be paid into Aslan's treasury and he will use it all for everybody's good." Then he glanced, and almost winked, at the chief Calormene. The Calormene bowed and replied, in the pompous Calormene way: "Most sapient Mouthpiece of Aslan, The Tisroc (may-he-live-forever) is wholly of one mind with your lordship in this judicious plan." "There! You see!" said the Ape. "It's all arranged. And all for your own good. We'll be able, with the money you earn, to make Narnia a country worth living in. There'll be oranges and bananas pouring in—and roads and big cities and schools and offices and whips and muzzles and saddles and cages and kennels and prisons—Oh, everything." "But we don't want all those things," said an old Bear. "We want to be free. And we want to hear Aslan speak himself." "Now don't you start arguing," said the Ape, "for it's a thing I won't stand. I'm a Man: you're only a fat, stupid old Bear. What do you know about freedom? You think freedom means doing what you like. Well, you're wrong. That isn't true freedom. True freedom means doing what I tell you." -shift from 'the last battle' by c.s. lewis *ancient sample: 'shift's folly' circa 1999? 'shift's folly' was matthew norris miller/guitar & emily/vocals recorded at Plinko manor in all it's punkrockness *lyrics are excerpts from the "howling psalm" of david › not forgotten‹ not forgotten this one was a very emotional one for me to get out memorial day is on the horizon & it's been a rough holiday since one of my best buds who was an army veteran, passed away suddenly in 2011 - he survived a helicopter crash in Afganistan in 2010, then in 2011 he was in a civilian car accident stateside but he was healing from that too when he died out of the blue just when it seemed he was on the mend... it was a shock he loved memorial day & getting to eat for free at the 'golden corral' buffet with the veterans in his family memorial day became even more emo for me when my great uncle - a WW2 veteran with a bronze star, purple heart, and congressional gold medal- survived multiple heart attacks & who seemed invincible - died of COVID19 in 2020 - the last time i remember hugging him was at the graveyard on memorial day (he visited his wife's & his sister's graves every day...) he's buried in between his wife & my grandma now i miss you uncle don in light of what our troops are having to endure right now i felt it was time to sit with the feels "eve of destruction" has been on a loop in my head since we bombed Iran..."when will they ever learn..."? i've been shoving down the feels that have been coming up as our troops deployed to Iran - so many memories flooding back of friends deploying to Iraq and Afganistan... all these young men/teenagers could not afford college, came from trauma &/or challenging home enviornments, needed help paying for further eduction, & it seems to me that perhaps most of them just needed some kinda mission/direction & belonging - 9/11 was a catalyst for enlistment... all of these young men i'm thinking of loved music, art, poetry, movies, & all of them are/were hopeless romantics... matthew wanted to be superman when he was little & before enlisting told me he wanted to be a history teacher & was hoping the army would be a path to college... i started to lose touch with Matt once he enlisted and kept serving tours in the middle east - but we did touch base a few special times that i treasure... he was a chosen family big brother to me who taught me about what true friendship & belonging feels like - he was a mess but gave the best advice & cheerleading, was a stealer of my tapes & cds, the most pain in the ass & then the most fun person to work in a coffee shop with, my swing dance partner & mosh pit protector (we might have maybe once gotten kicked out of weslyn college in indiana for dancing at a metal show - flashdance had nothing on us...), buyer and sharer of banana splits and adventures to Lloyd's record shop, sulker extraordinaire (can't hear "head in the door" without thinking of him pouting), fellow painter/artist, first bandmate, & all around superman <3 my buddy Matthew who wrote & is playing the guitar part on that 'shift's folly' sample enlisted after 9/11 he deployed to Iraq and then re-upped and went to Afganistan - this sample was from a one day recording session at Plinko manor before he moved back to KC to get married & he enlisted soon after... it was only toward the end of his deployment in Afganistan about a decade later that technology was in a place were we able to finally share a music file through email - but at the time i didn't know how to work with the one he sent & it's been lost to time and computer crashes... but i carry him in my heart and music still there is so much more to say but i can't get my thoughts straight i guess i just want to hold space & keep the memory alive of my buddy who was the first friend to encourage me to make my own kinda music Matthew, no one is drinking coffee on the mosh floor... thank you for all the times you encouraged me to use my voice “The light is dawning, the lie broken.” - the last battle i miss you 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - electronic_tiger - Track Limits | Techno to play WipEout

Sun, 24 May 2026 17:13:18 GMT

Music to play WipEout to inspired by The Chemical Brothers. This is a gnarly track. I always loved the TCB's sound design. So I thought I'd give it a try this week. I started in the box with Ableton Live's stock synths. They're very good, and I like them a lot! But they were lacking something. The track started to come alive when I dusted off my 2600. And it made me go "and that's why we love analog". Something so wild and fierce with analog distortion and frequency modulation that software still isn't capable of doing. I wish I had more time with this track. But I went down a couple of dead ends this week musically speaking. So I ran out of time. Anyway, let me know what you think! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - speek - Scaly Green Serpent

Sun, 24 May 2026 16:41:55 GMT

Started and finished in this week - that's a first for me so far. I always bounce around on my tracks all the time, so I have many dozens sitting around unfinished at any given time. This one starts and ends with a joke, ha - I amuse myself. I really like this one though. Kind of inspired a bit by Jeff Beck's "Loose Canon" and trying to harness crazy guitar noise. Much of it was me improvising on my midi keyboard (I play guitar, but not this well) and then fixing it in Bitwig and adding the pinch harmonics and an overly strong wah-wah effect. It even has a sort of verse-chorus structure though it's an instrumental. The original ending wrapped up right on the chord you expect with the cadence and it was just so trite, so I changed it to a completely new key, though related. It's named after a pretty fella I found in my back yard. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 24 May 2026 16:23:56 GMT

Wangal music, AKA Drunk Tank Wangus uploaded the original Dunk Tank in week 21 of 2022, and it's one of my favorite M8 tracks ever. 100% go check it out if you haven't heard it. There is also the excellent remix by ilzxc. Wangus himself has even put out a bunch more insane remixes of the same track in 2026 too. Remixtravaganza! › Production Notes‹ Production NotesIn the spirit of Wangus, everything is M8 synthesized. Only the closing chords were sampled from a Yamaha e-piano. Mixed and mangled on M8, mastered in Logic. Wangus was kind enough to share the M8 bundle of the original on the Weekly Beats discord. He often makes things glitchy using tables, which was a big inspiration for some of the patches in this one. The key feature of the original hook is a G-three-quarter-sharp note, which was the only requirement given that should be in there. This led to the microtonal chord stuff at the start. Didn't know where to take it other than a big dubstep breakdown. This one has been a while in the making, I've been working on it on and off for the past few weeks. It's mostly variations on the main melodic line, except for the bridge, which is some noodling over the bridge chords from the original. It's fun to have a little side project to tinker on when other tracks are turning into roadblocks. Really really happy with how this one turned out, I hope it does the original justice!

Was not sure I was going to fit in a track this week! Felt terrible all the way through Friday, but then my spell lifted for a bit. This is a wild one. This one focuses on 808s, a cool acid drop, and spacious sound design. But, it’s a bit buried under being slightly too stylistically jumpy. At the least, I want to say I feel like a badass for writing 2:00. I don’t think this song is one I want on my album, so I am trying to work on a standalone stop motion music video for this. Some of you may have seen some clips! I think this is a good song to experiment with animation on. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

› notes‹ notes Hello there. Welp the afib has still been vying for attention this week. But possibly some good news on the way as I finally got a call back from my doc and received a new medication to take when I have an episode. I put the pill-in-pocket medication to use on the first day and it actually stopped the episode in 30mins :o Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. A bit unproductive this week with the two episodes i had. Like last week, this is a chord based thang where there isn't a big melody tickling your ears. Just some quiet chords to get through the day (or afib episode). Mayhaps next week will be a full track with melody and drums :o orrrr just a noodle. Either/or is fine with me.

The samples come from a combination of a Mega FM sample pack made by Bardial: https://www.youtube.com/@Bardial-o4y and a recording of "Elegie Song of Mourning" from 1912 https://archive.org/details/78_elegie-song-of-mourning_alma-gluck-and-efrem-zimbalist-massenet_gbia0009500a Why this weird mashup, who knows I just needed stuff without copyright. It seems to go together surprisingly ok. Everything fully recorded and mixed on the Polyend Tracker Mini, with just a bit of limiting in Logic afterwards.

I had this track going already and just built it out a bit more by the end of the week. I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time this weekend, since the weather is great and I'll be spending most of my time outside (bringing the m8 with me of course). This is Tidal Cycles piping midi into Ableton, where I have instances of Zebra 3, Juno 6 V, Pure Lofi and Jupiter 8 V, and some others.

This week finally sees the pay off of 'what if I put two tracks kinda together, and hopefully that will fill out the run time.' Yet already listening back, I really didn't need to.. I guess I just always feel like about 5 minutes is a good length of time... Anywho. I wanted to play with some new toys to prepare for a terrifingly close live performance in a few weeks. The ending section, and also the little break early on, are me tuning several fairly free oscillators to chords, then fading between them. I used a Soma RoAT and Crows Ovum, and the bastl Kastle for much of this, a bit of delay and reverb and things were sounding good! This aside, I also wanted to make something a bit more chill this week. The sun is out, but also my to-do list is increasing rapidly.

The rest of the instruments go dry into the iRig and then I deal with it on the iPhone. Drum tracks are as usual MIDI. I handled the song pretty well considering I didn’t know where to go with it. This is a different idea that I had years ago and the song was called “Sirens”. This time I chose to call it “Gorgone” like Medusa in the Iliad. French lyrics again, in a style close to Alain Bashung perhaps. Anyway, happy with the result of something that wasn’t supposed to work! NB: I am supposed to prepare a video of recording it. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - rdomain - Interiors

Sun, 24 May 2026 03:23:11 GMT

This is a one take performance using only two modules (Oxi Coral, Clouds) and the Oxi One sequencer. I wanted to create a piece with minimal hardware and this combo works a treat! I recently got the Coral for polyphonic/multitimbral work and I'm very happy with what it's capable of although it comes with a learning curve. Once learnt though, it's not too bad at all. The Oxi One sequencer I've been delving into heavily too recently and it's such a great sequencer. Here it's sequencing 2 tracks on different midi channels with generative elements to keep it interesting. It's also sending out a controlled voltage to Clouds to control the Position parameter. You can actually hear this parameter at the end of the piece as I stopped the sequencer but it created further sounds as the LFO from the Oxi One was still manipulating the position of the buffer in Clouds. I love happy accidents. Another reason why hardware is incredibly rewarding to create on. The concept of the piece is interior thoughts. Keeping your mind calm and happy yet sometimes it's difficult to maintain high positivity and your thoughts can start sliding in the opposite direction, sometimes with moments of hope though. I was also trying to create a much less darker piece from last week which I think was achieved. Probably not too difficult seeing the dark level was high last week. Haha. I still found last week's track to be quite beautiful at the same time though. I've been told that's a recurring element in my work. It can come across as dark yet it can be quite beautiful at the same time. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Now that we're getting into Summer, I'm starting to feel the time crunch. Luckily, a bunch of my weekend errands were cut short due to rain and I had more time than expected to mash this out today. :) I kept it simple with a bassline jam on my new IK Multimedia Uno Synth. I used a Behringer Cat for the arpy-sounding synth, along with some live knob twiddling during rendering. The other synths are random patches from the Bitwig synths and one Synth1 track. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

I broke out the only "synth" I've ever made from absolute scratch: a riff on the atari punk console (556 oscillator instead of the 555, added a 4017 to build a small 4 step sequencer). Built in 2003 while I was living in Japan and housed in an old iPod packaging box. It's still one of my favorite instruments to play with. It has so much character. It's so fun to mess around with and I feel like I always get something interesting. Just have never known how to use it for anything or with anything haha. Fun fact: it also appears in one of my earliest YT uploads, 17 years ago loool 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - skkmkk - Strömmingsbådan

Sat, 23 May 2026 22:03:44 GMT

8 bar loop from OG Polyend Tracker, dated late 2021. Sampled some built-in fm radio. It happened to be a sea forecast, and forecast reader was telling some wind numbers and sea levels and visibility(?) of Strömmingsbådan. Little did I know - was sure I won't come back to this loop. Weeklybeats was asking for it, so I did. The chorus is the only part that I had to come up with something new. Waldorf Microwave plugin delivered. Mixed and stiched with Reaper, the ultimate GREY Swiss army knife. On the mix side of things: I noticed that the kick drums were out of tune back in original loop, and I tried to use ReaPitch, but it sounded even more alward, so I let it be. Secondly; not really sure if hihats are too loud. Didn’t have amy good reference when mixing (didn’t have time). 130.1 bpm og electro. Like it or don't. It's electronic punk. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This week has kinda been a whirlwind of distractions and fun things. Couple of friends inspired by my music have asked me to teach them how to make their own. Slowly working towards turning all my friends into a touring drug fueled jam band, Robgoblin and the Pisstones Track this week started as a piano progression but the arpeggios quickly became the focus after I mutilated them with a ton of delay. It gives me Crono Cross vibes a little. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - embix - Can Hear The Notes Of A Different Song

Sat, 23 May 2026 19:23:16 GMT

Decided to start with my BeatStep Pro instead jumping into the DAW right away. The haptic experience seems to keep me better in the flow. Already made a nice bass patch a few days earlier and wanted to give it a chance. Pretty basic drumline. The pad is quite simple too and wasn't even the first choice, but it's better suited for what I wanted the sound to be like. Once I though I'm done, I noticed I don't even have something that could be identified as lead. Not quite G-Thang, but the theremin-ish tune seems appropriate tho. Wanted to add some sparkles, but chose distortion instead :) Hardware synth's only this time. Inspired by early 80s synth-pop. Not sure how to call this, chill-pop maybe? Rest assured, no vocals. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - Tom Foolery - Am I not cool?

Sat, 23 May 2026 11:52:32 GMT

Last night, my sister and I took part in a World Record Relay attempt to fundraise for brain cancer research which involved running around Princes Park for an hour each at 1am - 3am. It was surprisingly peaceful and nice running at that time of night, but today has felt a bit of an off day because my body does not like its sleep schedule disrupted. This week has been... good? I can't remember. I went to a workshop for design week where we got to make sandals and a bag out of recycled materials which was fun. I burnt my fingers while burning the end of some string to stop it fraying and that hurt like hell for the whole evening (I still had fun though), and has made playing guitar this week a bit interesting. I spent Thursday night feeling very sorry for myself. I guess I just felt a bit unlucky and frustrated about certain parts of my life (although I acknowledge I am VERY lucky on the whole). I'm very much equipped to manage my own thoughts but nevertheless we all sometimes get in a bit of a sad mood and that's okay. I cheered myself up with some chicken shop takeaway and a nice long phone call with my Mum. I also exchanged voice notes with a friend of mine who was going through an existential career crisis. It was nice to share these thoughts and help each other carry the load of them. I guess that's where the hook from this song comes from. Just this feeling of wondering whether maybe I'm not good enough for some people? Maybe I'm not cool???? I've never really been "cool". I'm a big believer in doing things my own way and finding those who think similarly, yet every know and then I look at people who seem to fit in so seamlessly with the trends and I feel a bit of envy. Don't get me wrong though, I'm very happy with who I am and the way I do things, it just makes an interesting feeling to explore in a song. Today I went to another Melbourne design week event (lots of VERY COOL people there) about small apartment living and making the most of small spaces. It was hosted by the founder of the youtube channelnever too small. I left with this dream of finding a nice small mid-century apartment somewhere and renovating it into a space that I could make the most of. Perhaps a dream it will stay. They did discuss an interesting thought though - that these apartments shouldn't be thought of as forever homes. People change. Life demands different things. People grow. People may start families. I've been considering moving for a while, somewhere closer to the city rich with culture and vibrancy, but nervous to do so as that probably wouldn't be sustainable for a long time. Maybe it doesn't have to be. Maybe now is the right time in my life to do so and make the most of those things while I still can?? Who knows. Big thoughts. I must digest on them for a bit I think. Oh yeah, I also had some vocal technique breakthroughs this week maybe? Learnt a bit more about getting my voice out of my throat and resonating in the room. Moving the sound to the nasal palate, front teeth, and lips. It's hard to do, but there's sections throughout this where I think it has made a big difference. Keen to practice more. CGDGCE tuning on this one too. a knot of muscles binds my neck from whispers dealt behind my back looking over my shoulder I see where I want to be am I not cool? am I not cool? though I want to be like them I sit outside of the fence my tongue is dry, my mouth is sour bleeding from my tasteless sense am I not cool? am I not cool? and maybe I'm on the outside but maybe that just means I'm free and maybe what I taste isn't sweet but maybe what I taste is me am I not cool? am I not cool? am I not cool? am I not cool? 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - Ashtom - Corporeal Elevation

Sat, 23 May 2026 09:24:20 GMT

And now for something very different! A few weeks ago, I had to recycle a high-energy track that I couldn't arrange the way I wanted. Well this week I came back to it and tried my best. It's far from perfect but it sort of works. Depending on the feedback I get, I might come back to it again to try to improve it. I made this one exclusively on the Synthstrom Deluge (no added effect except for the light compression and spectral balance from the mastering), taking advantage of the new automation framework. I ended up with something that could speak to the body but also sounded spiritual. That's why I chose this title. I don't have a lot of experience in this genre (although I made many unreleased dance tracks in the past) and I understand that this is could be considered unconventional, but at the same time, it sounds very much like me and I wonder if this is a path I should keep exploring. Anyway, thanks for listening. Have a great week! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - Stenny - Run If You Want, They Get You Eventually

Sat, 23 May 2026 09:19:35 GMT

In a way, the dance-y culmination of a set of unintentionally related pieces, borrowing instruments and motifs from my week 11, 12, 13, and 20 pieces, among others, transforming them from ambient into boogeyable. Self-referential without shame! The motivation for the piece is pretty explanatory from the title, running along the Sisyphean treadmill in a long series of close calls in the full understanding that your failure is eventual and inevitable - but for how long can you keep running? Given more time, would balance the mix out better - some of the clutter and mess was desired, but not all of it. Also hell yeah, got to bring back the cat purr kick. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Pretty Happy with this one. I spent most of the week playing with the OXI E16 to create instruments on the M8. It is a lot of fun cause I can modulate several parameters at the same time while the loop is playing and get the sound I want "by ear" since I have no idea what most of the parameters do. I tried to perform with the OXI and record, but was hard to nail the volumes and not overdo it, so I took what I learnt from those performances and applied in the M8 using effects. This is starting to be lots of funs, I was missing the OXI to make things more playful. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - Earp Lug - Through Space

Sat, 23 May 2026 03:31:36 GMT

On Monday I made a totally different song using arpeggios and drums and I was trying really hard to make it both mechanically sound and enjoyable to listen to. Halfway through putting it together, I decided to stop and procrastinated until Friday, because my heart just wasn't in it. I'm not interested in mechanically sound music, I'm interested in weird music that feels deeply human. So I made a 20 minute jam using the MicroKorg, pedals, Volca Drum, Stylophone CPM-DS2, and Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 that I've been using for the past few songs. I set the Volca Drum to play a single beat once every few seconds, and ran it through the delay pedal on the DS2. I then used an oscillator on the DS2 to play a steady bass beat that I panned from left to right in post. I played a little ditty with the MicroKorg through the effects pedals, and played another one with the Ambient 0, and in post I overlayed them and used keyframes to help them play off eachother. For the visuals, I combined two internal video feedback loops on my Roland Edirol V-8, and ran one loop through my DPS-220 Time Base Corrector that has brightness, color, and hue controls, and the other feedback loop through my new Videonics Video Equalizer. It has some issues with some of the functionality, but I found that I can still use it to affect colors, sharpness, and brightness with the feedback loops, and I honestly kinda love it. Messing around with it this week is a large reason why I procrastinated that other song. Also like, cleaning out my old house, finishing the move, and setting up my new office (and just about nothing else in the house yet) really distracted me too. Anyway, I edited a few different portions of an extended visual experimentation session together into a little music visualiser, and I'm honestly pretty happy with the results. Hope you like it too! https://youtu.be/JRUtroT2qZMp 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Fri, 22 May 2026 21:18:48 GMT

Taken a demo and spruced it up this week. This is a song I am quite proud of. Channeling my inner Phoebe Bridgers with some big ambient guitar tones. Vocals are a little rougher than usual - I wanted to avoid loads of editing on them as I didn't think it fit the vibe of the track - let me know what you think! Trying out the Safari Plugins - I quite like them, and will continue to explore! Guitars are in standard tuning - 2nd week in a row for a while! Let me know what you think! Lyrics: The neon hums like it knows all my secrets  Your jacket still smells like November rain  I watched your shadow blur in the rearview  You took your mixtape, but left me the pain I tell myself I’m just dramatic  But your name still breaks the static So I’m talking to ghosts in the parking lot  Where we kissed and forgot what we were  You said love was a kind of fever  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  The coffee's cold, I drink it anyway  Stained napkins with half-written poems  You wrote “forever” on my wrist in sharpie  But it washed off in the rain on the way home I dream in grayscale memories  You fade like old movie screens So I’m talking to ghosts in the parking lot  Where we kissed and forgot what we were  You said love was a kind of fever  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  The silence is loud where you used to laugh  I count headlights like stars on a map  You’re somewhere warm, I’m stuck in the Past SO I’m talking to ghosts in the parking lot  Where we kissed and forgot what we were  You said love was a kind of fever  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  I said, "Maybe I prefer the blur"  2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Electroplankton is a game for the nintendo DS Combined 3 of the different features (lumiloops - the back ground, Sun animicucle for the melody, and luminaria for the opening) and mixed it all in audicity. I did also record a beat too, but it started to get too messy. This one really pops as it goes along. This was/is a busy week. I can't complain, I made too many plans, not enough time. Ended up canceling my Friday plan (it was by myself, so no one to disappoint and did pick up a Saturday plan to see my niece's dance recietal) to make this guy because nothing would be made.

So, FMS got released the other week and I eventually got it running ok on my 3DSXL (the open_agb_firm method is best) and have been playing with the various aspects of it and enjoying it a lot. This is what came from that. A mix of as many features that I could manage: different playback rates, chord mode, tweaking a tracks sound in realtime (very handy, done on the "delayed" arp throughout this piece), the step echo which is fascinating. This was jammed out in 1 take after practicing a few times. Accidentally clocked in at 8m10s. Then, I automated a filter and "mastered" in Ableton. Rambled a bit there.

Week 21 - cistern stairs - exploring a really big attic

Fri, 22 May 2026 12:19:52 GMT

Week 21 Goal at start 5/20 I wanted to do something simple this week because there were some other music related projects I needed to give more attention to, so this is just a simple ambient track with a few elements. End notes 5/22 During the process of mixing this I was reminded of the fact that I’ve hardly ever got a good result from using compressors (flstudio stock). I’ve consistently heard that compressors are almost always used, but for me they hardly do anything until the sound is too muffled to work. This leads me to believe that must be something I’m not understanding about how to make these tools give a good result. Plan for next week: I think next week I want to try layering dubstep growls with other basses or 808s to achieve a fuller bass sound. This is something I’ve been pondering. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Thu, 21 May 2026 18:08:32 GMT

Started this last sunday at the in-laws. The riff came from just noodling around. I can hear loads of things when I play it like a fast "I left my Heart in San Francisco" or my fiance said it sounds like a major key inspector gadget. It's a trail/saloon song about a man who repeats the same warnings to plenty of bounty hunters that go after Billy the Kid and end up with the same result. The song clips like mad and I've tried everything in my power to get rid of it but to no avail. The song is mad long too so when I finished a take I liked I couldn't be bothered to record again and so I've tried to automate to remove some of the clipping.

Week 21 - halfbyte - Urban Cycles

Thu, 21 May 2026 18:05:57 GMT

This tries maybe a bit too hard to be burial-esque, but I don't think I've ever fully nailed that aesthetics in a way that this track does before. I wish I had a bit more time to tweak and diversify the drums, but hey, WeeklyBeats, amirite? The phone message is by QuartzGate via Freesound.org and is licensed under CC BY-NC, which is why this track also uses that license in contrast to the BY-SA I usually do. The NYC sounds at the beginning and end are from Freesound.org as well, licensed under CC-0. Last but not least a shoutout to Cableguys' Shaperbox which is my latest aquisition and boy is this a powerful plugin. The beat alone uses two instances in different places. Nothing I did there couldn't be done in a different way, even with stock plugins, I guess, but it's just so convenient and immediate. Love it.

Cant say if the song is really bad or if I am in a weird head space with music this week. Will know after some weeks with fresh ears =) Anyhow, drums from the MPC, and some various synths. Mostly Digitone 2. Thank you for listening Have a nice week! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Worked on job application slowly but, surely. Distracted regullarly, only break is walks w/ AL. Losing track of time. Software Used: ReCycle Ableton Audacity Izotope Decapitator (sample processing) Izotope RX10 De-click (sample Processing) Renoise Tal-chorus-LX IzotopeOzone 10 Made in Renoise while testing some processed Boss Dr-202 samples. Lofi quality to samples. 100% made with a handfule of 202 sounds (probably not a surprise to anyone). Too much LSDJ that leads no where this week. Novelty wearing out fast. Samples from old pile. Avoiding buying new ones out of laziness. Feeling uninspired. Purely practice submission for sake of getting it done. Renoise randomized tempo to 115. Stuck with it. Under stimulated or overly pushed. Not sure which one. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 21 - shaike - Half-Hearted Hero

Wed, 20 May 2026 20:51:24 GMT

Big feelings week. Needed to ride it out on a song. I feel like a half-hearted hero sometimes, and being a hero isn't always what I need. Lyrics: I aint getting the attention I need I'm avoiding the destruction I feed (I'm the) Half Hearted Hero Reservation for the smile on my face Devastation for sympathy's disgrace (I'm the) Half-Hearted Hero Hallelujah for the burdens I feel Lashed out affection before the last meal (I'm the) Half-Hearted Hero ********** then it fell on my face ********* It had a blankey over it so that I could have good clean sound, and it seems to have worked. I recorded one take and then it was good enough. Didn't want to figure out how to actually secure everything. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 21 - Paisleyfrog - The American History Road Trip

Tue, 19 May 2026 03:18:10 GMT

Let's do some Americana. From a trip out to Arizona. The cool thing about Weekly Beats is that it gives me some set time to work on any project that might arise. Currently working on some theme music for a new podcast, The American History Road Trip. The idea for what the host wanted was pretty clear - that sort of folky, acoustic Americana feel. The Frog is on the case. Got out ol' #12 (my upright bass) as well as harmonica, guitar, and mandolin. Just jammed to an easy chord progression. Not a ton of edits - there are two tracks of mandolin, and I chopped it up to switch back and forth between chops and noodling. Also clipped the harmonica solo to move a better riff to the beginning. Aside from that, I pretty much just played it straight through for each instrument. Really happy with what I’ve learned about mixing and recording so far this year - I think this is the best upright bass recording I’ve ever gotten. Toyed with recording drums, but I am nowhere near good enough to get a train beat with brushes. Used a Session drummer and stripped it away to just the snare. Whole thing went together in a couple hours. This is the proof of concept theme - it’s been approved, so I'll be making more pieces to go along with the show. :) This is the fastest I've ever finished a week...which gives me a lot more time to listen to posts! Y’all are killing it this year. On to week 22! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Tue, 19 May 2026 03:05:22 GMT

teetering on unlistenable but wanted to push it to see how it would sound. it started off as a different idea altogether which i then distorted a few times with some reverb/delay/modulation between them and then duplicated the kick and snare over the top of the old group channel with some sidechain and an overly compressed master channel to finish. got a few nice sound design elements in there somewhere haha 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Found my heart keeps beating at 107 bpm for extended durations until it resets through intervention. So this track embraces the 107 bpm. Surprised that I was able to sleep under that intensity, but my dreams were entirely too vivid. Will work on getting this under control.

Had a few weeks away from weekly beats. Just wasn't feeling up to it, and decided to let that be acceptable. Trying to ease myself back into it. This also week almost didn't get recorded and I did basically no stuff in the DAW to clean it up. Just a couple of neat patches that I was jamming with, a kick and hat to keep it rolling and then playing the faders for a couple of minutes. I'm unexpectedly happy with it.

Week 20 - nerBeater - Retail Detail Shmee Tales (Deep Yeah Mix)

Sun, 17 May 2026 23:41:52 GMT

The sludge is thick, walking through it, not sure I wanna risk it. At least it's colourful and sometimes tasty. Imagine you really believed the floor would fall through, and there IS a fire burning? Not sure I wanna risk it. Others keep bouncing off the walls, yelling at each other. It's a party; it's a group therapy? What? Where am I? Thought it was a planet. Go back to your own..? HUH? Where do they think they are to say such a weirdly miraculous notion? Did you hear the kids? "Horrible" means good, so miraculous of a notion... What's in a nation's own interest but what they have to collectively say? I'm not sure my community is aware of its own collective expression. These are the thoughts dwelling inside the Deep House influence brain. My brain is a Deep House for the conflict, the storm, for the subsiding and ebb of the monthly tidal cycles. Therefore, I just relent, I let it flow, I give my "Deep Yeah". This is Deep Yeah, it's not techno, it's not house, it's not ambient. It IS hard ambient and experimental generative, it IS related to Deep House because I haven't stopped listening to it for the last 3 years. It is NAUT written by n'Autechre, but I studied them from the earside-in, decoding my own autorganic digitalation. So, yeah, ummm.. I mean... So, Deep Yeah... 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

This track is "heavily inspired" by Toshiyuki Kakuta aka L.E.D. and a host of other names. Tracks like The Earth Light and the various tunes in the Denjin J / Jaeger mold. I used 2xSID2 chips because Furnace's SID3 was too daunting but it was cool to push out some heavy beats even if it gets a little overwhelming at moments. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

All guitar this week : ) Initially I had planned to sample some chords and then jump into the M8 as usual, but ended up trying to put together a second part. Kind of ran out of time so it's almost like two tracks with the second part starting around 2:35 (it's a little louder volume wise just a heads up!) I found mixing with a lot of effects on guitar a lot more challenging than my typical M8 into Reaper workflow. I was also trying to get my pedal board to play well with digital vsts/plugins so a lot more to explore there for sure. Will come back to this one at some point to sample and add percussion, maybe next time 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Still on duty. Tomorrow I change bases and will be driving some hours. It will be a long day. Mostly done on earbuds, just half finished on proper headphones. Just 1 instance of a monophonic Cardinal modular synths and 2 FX sends (delay and reverb) sending feedback to each other. I tried to do something interesting with the echoes, so I applied some pitch shifting using native Apple plugins to produce a somewhat ghostly perfect fifth. Hope it does not sound too messy. Now I must sleep. Please take care and have a happy week :) 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 20 - jegasus - Finding Yourself, then Dancing with It (2 in 1)

Sun, 17 May 2026 23:24:31 GMT

### Lore You walk deeper into the cave. Water drips from the ceiling into an unseen puddle, that distinctively wet sound echoing throughout the space in a constant rhythm. You can't quite tell the difference between the sounds of new drops and their echoes. Scrunched up in a corner, you see a mass that catches your eye. It's breathing. You approach it and discover it's actually a person all curled up into a ball. You touch their shoulder trying your best not to startle them. They raise their head. Your eyes lock and you feel a deep sense of connection. It's strange even to put it this way, but this somehow strikes you as a moment of impossibly deep introspection. The two of you stay put like this for a while. A long while. Maybe minutes. Hours? Possibly. Eventually you extend your hand, a kind gesture offering help. You both stand up, but don't let go of each other's hands. It's obvious what has to happen next: you simply must dance. ### Production details Hey music friends! I hope your week hasn't been a very stressful one. This week I finally was able to get to get started on my Weekly Beats tune a few days early. On Friday evening, I was practicing before my upcoming piano lesson on Saturday morning, and as usually the case, I keps weaving between what I had to practice and some fun noodling. While doing that back & forth, I found a little kernel of something pretty and thought "Oooohhh, I'm going to try and make this something bigger". So I played it on the keyboard a few more times to flesh out the little pattern and that's what ultimately ended up being the arpeggio pattern that serves as the backbone of this song. I had a bit of a hard time keeping things simple, but still interesting, but I think I was able to ultimately find a good balance. I also wanted the voices to be simple, but the higher pitched triangle synth that comes in with the more complicated melody was hard to hear, so I added some things to make it a little bit more distinct, like an AHD envelope on MULT set to a super small amount as well as a lowpass filter to spare the listener from its more grating sharpness. After finishing the song, I fiddled around with the global groove settings just to have some fun and I noticed that I REEEEALLY liked how the song felt after adding some swing to it and bumping the BPM up a tiny bit. The original song felt more quiet and introspective, while the second version sounded groovy and more playful. So I just decided to stick both versions in this same submission. We first hear the slower introspective version without swing, and then, at 2:08, we hear the faster more playful swingy version. Anyways, I'm really happy with how this one turned out! Looking forward to what y'all will put out this week!!! Cheers, folks! Link to M8 Bundle 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Woah, week 20 already? Crazy. Another week with not much time for WB. Have spent a large portion of this week with day job and working on a 3 stage festival in July in Melbourne. Also, working on mixing a release for the end of the year so weekly beats is definitely a backseat project atm. This week's track was built amidst trying to give Maschine another go. I find it really frustrating and unintuitive so I rage quit, went to Ableton and hammered out this soundscape. I'll give Maschine another go I suppose because I don't like being defeated by software. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Meditative, sound therapeutic frequency layers mixed with a gated chant of the japaneese Lotus Sutra: "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo" - "I dedicate my life to the mystical law of cause and effect through sound." In 1988 the buddhist movement "Nichiren Soshu of Americ" (NSA)" was booming in NYC. In our actual weeklyBeat track re-performed and presented is their Mantra "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo". Also in 1988, two years after beeing founded, Shoko Asahara's buddhist-hinduist japaneese "Aum Shinrikyo" organization had chosen New York as their base for recruitment, before it grew up to 50.000 members in the early 1990s. Who would have guessed that seven years onward, on march 20th 1995, the apcalyptic Aum-cultists would release poisonous Sarin gas within Tokio's subway system, killing 12 people. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - Paisleyfrog - Questions

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:50:10 GMT

Let's do something last minute. Picture is of my great-grandparent's 50th anniversary in 1944. This was my fallback idea for this week - very little time this week, so I ended up just grabbing the acoustic guitar and Writing Something. Which in this case ended up being Sunday afternoon. Was cleaning up the house and that a melody pop into my head. Ran to grab a guitar and "la-la'd" the first couple of lines. Immediately stopped and figured I should record it on my phone. Ended up figuring out the structure and melody in one take. (There are perhaps bit of melody that are similar to other songs, but I'm not going to sweat it at this point.) Lyrics were another matter. Had a few fragments of ideas, but nothing solid. Went to lunch with Dr Frog, and sat down to work after we got back home - hammered these out in about an hour. Recording is one take and one track. (FrankenGuitar is a little softer than my other acoustics, makes that a lot easier). Would have liked a bit more time to clean up the structure and maybe multitrack it, but you can't always get what you want. But as far as finishing a song, I got what I needed.

Week 20 - slipball - Bone Spur

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:45:39 GMT

Week 20 - freezedream - Scenes of Green

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:44:15 GMT

God designed the human eye to have greater sensitivity to the green region of the spectrum. That means we are more attuned to perceiving variations in shades of green than other colours. Not only that, research has shown that spending time looking at green plants and trees is beneficial to our physical and mental heath. So take advantage of getting outside and into the scenes of green whenever you can. Enjoy! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

another throwaway instrumental jam.

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:17:46 GMT

I used to do more ambient soundscape things (mostly at 3am, and then let them play and loop themselves while I sleep), though I hadn't in some time. Recently I've done a few, though, and I decided I was going to do one for my weekly beat this week. Turned into a bit of a struggle, though - perhaps because I wasn't doing it at 3am? Perhaps I was trying to make it A Thing too much. Perhaps I was going too overboard and throwing too many effects in there. Ended up making like 4-5 misguided attempts; edited this final selection out of a 20 minute pass filled with errors and random aggravating volume blasts. Not fully happy with it, probably mostly because I know my struggle working through it, but I'm pleased that at least my edits seem relatively subtle. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - muhamor - shakuhachi improv #1

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:16:33 GMT

Hi there! › Production Notes‹ Production Notes I've been pretty sick and low energy this week, and it was a real struggle to think about composition on the m8. Rather than scrambling to throw together some ideas last minute, I decided to do something a little different. This track is a 2 minute improvisation on my 1.8 (Dmin) shakuhachi. I recorded it on a RODE Lav mic into voice notes on my iPhone and converted it into an mp3. Those are all the technical notes. All of this took maybe 30 minutes. It's definitely a cheat day, but it's nice to know I can do something quick like this if I need to. WB can be a bit of a slog. It's also such a tremendously rewarding experience to be doing this alongside all of you <3. I will keep going! It's been a minute since I've done any kind of regular shakuhachi practice, so my embouchre and control feels a little all over the place :). But it's nice to just breathe and make some noises. At some point, I'd like to figure out a way to bridge electronic music performance with my flute playing. It'd be super cool use the shakuhachi as a live element on top of an m8 backing track. I have to do a bit more research about audio recording before I get there though. Someday. Maybe soon. Thanks for listening! 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:16:12 GMT

Speedtrash week. Still playing catch up on commenting on other folks' song During the paperwork-themed M8 Community Jam, I created a bunch of samples of stationery. Those samples make up every sound on this song except for the bass, which is 4-op FM. Sounds you will hear include: a rubber stamp, a hole puncher, a failing hard drive (single cycle oscillator), the tearing of a strip of paper (single cycle oscillator), a paper folder, a spiral-ring notebook, a three-ring binder, and some shuffled papers. Very much a "throw things at the wall to see what sticks" song, but hopefully fun? Gotta go for a grocery run now 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Hi! What a tearful week! But I’m okay! I think it’s been one of the hardest weeks of my life (looking back over the last nine years). As for the Weekly Beat, I’ve started listening to British dubstep again—modern stuff, I mean—and I felt like giving it a try, sort of. So here’s a track to tell the world I’m ready. The title refers to a poem I hid in the apartment I just moved out of and a nest I found there. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - MRDRCAT - Organism

Sun, 17 May 2026 22:05:30 GMT

Only 2.5 hours into this one but I like how it's shaping up. I want to add a quieter B-section with some new instruments and maybe lean into the orchestral angle more. As it is I'm still excited to keep working on it; I just don't have the time. The mix is wonky, but hopefully that's only a "for now" statement. I approached this one as a companion to Hull Breach, since I like how that one turned out overall, and I was wondering if I could keep going in that vein. This track needs more expressive stuff going on to make it more soundtrack-y, but for less than 3 hours' work, so far so good. We're back on the M8 this week, reusing some of my original synth patches and adding some Samples from Mars percussion. The orchestral part is something I noodled out in GarageBand just to have some of that flavour. I'd love to eventually release an all-space-themed EP or album. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

M8 + Roland S1 The s1 is such a badass little synth, if you don't own ANY synths, get yourself an s1. I used the m8 to sequence and resample, over and over and over again. Then I added layers of those samples pitched/chopped, sprinkled a little break beat and boom it became a tasty tune. I also ended up with a lot of song chunks that will likely make it into next weeks track. Love it when that happens.

I'm on a roadtrip/hiking vacation with two of my best buds, one of which isn't on here and therefore shall not be named, and other one of which is maksy who captured a magical little moment during a hike. We took a detour off the beaten path up a mountain between the Lago Maggiore and Lago di Mergozzo in Italy and found a beautiful spot, where the trees broke up and we could sit in the sun, take a break and soak in the view. After having a snack, we broke out the harmonicas we brought (that were in three different scales and that maksy and I don't know how to play). Without talking about it we started simply holding single tones each, trying to find a good harmony between us. It was truly a perfect moment that will probably form the core of the memory of this vacation. And the recording forms the core of this track as well. Listen to the full sample capturing the moment over on maksys profile. I had recorded some more samples from the hike (footsteps and a mointain creek) which I used to make this little ambient collage.

Week 20 - neon liminal - MASSIVE DREAM

Sun, 17 May 2026 21:07:28 GMT

Big trance music part trois. It was a very busy week. Composed and arranged on the M8, then into Ableton for some extra work and finishing, though this isn't as finished as I'd like. I find working the M8 with eight tracks is a really great way to get a sorta core-vintage-trance/techno sound to a track, and then I can make everything else grow around that once I'm in the daw. Mix is a little loud, and the vocals are definitely a little loud, but they are mostly working. Vocals are me, processed into monster-cyber-minotaur oblivion, recorded on my MacBook mic. I really encourage everyone who wants to mess around with vocals to try recording your own and fucking with them till they are unrecognizable. You learn a lot and end up with something very unique. And if you are uncomfortable listening to your own voice, do what I do - throw a massive FX chain on the track after recording so you never have to hear yourself "raw", and then just dial it back to what you want. I wanna say more trance next week but time is a factor and I have some ambient-horror stuff due for the end of the month so who knows! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - KaZu - [move]

Sun, 17 May 2026 21:02:55 GMT

Hi everyone, After last week, I realized that I really want to change the way I approach making music. Constantly searching through presets and sounds during the creative process was starting to take me out of the creative flow, so this week I decided to change a few things. I reduced my presets down to the absolute core, only keeping the ones that genuinely inspire me or feel truly useful — and I started giving them proper names. So instead of something like “BA_MonsterPreset,” I now have names like “BA_Rolling_Dark_Center” And yep, I have to say, it really helped. Finding the right sounds became much faster and the whole process felt very different. Sure, there’s still a lot of room for improvement, but it was honestly a really refreshing experience. So yeah, this track is basically the result of that little experiment :) Here’s my entry for this week — hope you like it :) Have a nice day :) Cheers KaZu P.S. As always, I’m really grateful for any constructive feedback, opinions, and so on :) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Been listening to turn of the century trip hop and really liked how I didn't care that it's supremely repetitive. So this is a similar kind of limited instrumentation with clearly delineated parts that the arrangement switches between, with some probably more involved than they should be (like that guitar part works the best when it's just one note, lol). Couldn't get the drum mix right so I bandlimited the bus, now it's lo-fi 少 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

This then became a test of many ideas and some knob twiddling... I'm not sure how it all holds together, to me this feels very much like an 'album track'. Overall.. It's been a mad busy week, but I'm happy to get week 20 done, in 2024 I stumbled at week 19 becasue of some health issues, so it feels good to get past that little marker.

Week 20 - .exe - Melody in Water

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:19:46 GMT

More M8 ambient for you. This week I got some new gear, just a simple looper and reverb unit. The new gear is mostly for transitioning between tracks live, but I've also been practicing with them and this track is the result. I've been studying water sounds this week and found they could be very dissonant. I've also been studying dissonant cyclical patterns of the chromatic scale. The pattern used to construct the melody uses every note and interval of the chromatic scale. It aims to "sour" every interval with a clashing interval before it, for example putting the tritone interval next to a perfect fifth. Since everything is dissonant, it ends up sounding consistent. After that, I just randomly cut out notes. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - onezero - Curlew

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:19:45 GMT

It's been a few weeks since I used the $60 Univox for a track, so here's an arpeggio-heavy one. The first part I recorded (the arpeggiated theme at the beginning) turned out to be in 5/4, so I went with that where I could. As a rock-marinated person from small times, I kept falling into 4/4 and 6/4 in places, but I liked the interplay with the 5/4. Also inevitably, I ended up tracking a couple parts in 11/4. Is there a time signature I didn't use? (Yes, there are time signatures I didn't use here.) Most of these tracked sections ended up long, and of course the 11/4 and 5/4 pairing wouldn't complete a full cycle before 55 measures, so there was a bit of a challenge in making these sections feel complete without feeling overlong. Three tracks of Univox Coily hollowbody in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning, no effect pedals. (I did try using my Montreal Assembly Count to Five here, but there's already so much going on, it didn't work in the ensemble. It would work as a solo guitar thing, though.) There's the usual convolution reverb send and the eq/compression/limiting on the stereo mix. The title comes from the 646-ft. prominence of the Curlew Mountains. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - Tomatron.Jones - The Impulse - From Scratch

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:14:31 GMT

This was a strange week, spent many hours on 2 different ideas that I ended up totally scrapping the night before this was due, then just pulled in an messed with a bunch of samples rather than trying to force something I was starting to feel too precious about. Trying to learn from previous mistakes of forcing something that isn't working and just pivoting to something new. The result is something pretty random, kinda heavy synth from a UK Garage sample pack that reminds me of Aloboi. Then some breakbeat-like drums, other random percussion bits and sample re-sampling and modification. Finally some violins as the main lead, tons of automation, including parallel Transits on the master bus for fun, random DJ-like effects. Basically I got back in my 'The Impulse' mode, getting goofy and having fun throwing stuff together in a divergent-mode of creativity. I had fun, I kinda like it, sure it's rough and not perfect, but I think Weekly Beats is a good avenue to try both - slog through something you hold precious and pivot, starting fresh on something random. * Splice Samples for drums, violin, synth - lots of FX and manipulation * Transit, Valhalla plugins * Gullfoss + Izotope Elements for master Total time spent: 3 hours (4 extra hours spent on stuff that was scrapped) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - theagainagain - Renaissance

Sun, 17 May 2026 20:13:59 GMT

A friend of mine was over and we were primarily working on a different music project, but we started joking about adding a renaissance breakdown in the middle of the song we were working on, and I jokingly picked a random strings sample after searching for renaissance in splice. Basically it got in my head, and this is the beat that came from that. My friend played the guitar, which I added a little dub echo on using a FX send I automated. A pretty sample heavy track, but I also played the bass on it as well. I've been getting back into my mpc 1000 style workflow, but now I'm primarily in the box, but I'm able to get a pretty close approximation with the mpd218 with the way it handles note repeat. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 May 2026 19:56:04 GMT

Listening to Virtual Dreams (Ambient Explorations In The House & Techno Age, 1993-1997) all week, such a great compilation with lovely tracks. Inspired by those tunes to try something similar but a little more beat driven. To try and capture that old sound pulled out the Boss Dr-770 (thankfully it still fired up) and recorded all the drums from it. Sequenced the midi in ableton, so much easier and quicker then trying to program that drum machine. All the synths were recorded from Polyend Synth and the vocals were sampled from splice. Everything was arranged and recorded into Ableton to add a bunch of effects plugins to liven things up a bit. Hope you enjoy this nostalgic tune. 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

For this one, I've tried out using one of the ethical AI services, voice-swap.ai All the artists involved get paid for the training data they feed into the model You can take a vocal and turn it into a someone else's voice, so I thought I'd find a few different Splice samples from different singers and join them together.

Welp, missed last week entirely due to moving and subsequent technical difficulties. Still rebuilding the new studio space. It sucks that I won't be doing the full 52 weeks, but I've come to terms with it. The biggest thing is getting back in the saddle. I've got a rack with a direct injection box, and I'm trying out the recording process with that. Got a drum set arriving today as well. Hopefully, all of this will result in some new explorations in songwriting. Hoping I can get fuller sounding arrangements with some more instrumentation. Also, hoping to lure in guest musicians too! This is some chip tune exploring my new studio set up a bit. I think this is kind of end credits Game Boy music. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 17 May 2026 19:02:13 GMT

This is SYmphonic DEath Metal, the title sounds cooler than it is clever. Asked a friend of ours, XubTheMad, for a genre to do this week, and this is what he gave us. Not wanting to destroy my voice (or do actual grunting, we can do that, just don't really want to), the vocals are instead performed by Delay Lama's successor, Krazy Sandi Delay Lama put through a distortion filter. A lot of things are put through distortion filters, really. The feedback I got from him is that it's an interesting take, but it's missing the arpeggiating guitar, which is fair, didn't really have the time to put those in, but otherwise it's been accepted as good enough 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I got the "full minor" 9 note scale again but slightly different. It's not my favorite.. something that I want to figure out are VSTs that say they're panned to the center but were apparently recorded with mics that only let you produce sound that's hard panned. It's so weird how unresponsive the program is here. It thinks panned things are centered and there's no CC10 automation at all either. So I had to mute some stuff that sounded awkward only in one ear 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Recorded to stereo in Audacity, then trimmed down and slightly mastered in Ableton. Will definitely be making more jams like this. Recommended.

Week 20 - ModuLoBro - It's Been a Lot

Sun, 17 May 2026 18:09:02 GMT

If you're familiar with the Deluge, you know that its creator made the firmware open source a few years ago. With the release of the latest stable version, the dev team held a preset-making contest. This happened last year but I just discovered it this week. I downloaded the presets and immediately checked out the winner: Mark Young's Saumur Piano. The notes say, "Saumur Piano is a public piano that sits outside all summer next to the Loire. Samples were recorded by hand and used to make the preset." It sounds much as you'd expect. I used the tuned version of the preset. I love how ambient conversations and dishes clanking can transport one sonically. Once I loaded it, I just wanted to make something pretty. The other two sounds come from the great Boards of Deluge presets by Krzysztof Stęplowski. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - Daisy - Regret

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:41:03 GMT

Just finished watching the admittedly dystopian series called The Man in the High Castle on Netflix. It was a very ambitious undertaking to make this book by Philip K. Dicks into a streamed series. This author also wrote the book called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?(Later the movie Blade Runner). I remember (as a humble Kroch's and Brentano's bookseller in the early 1980s) getting many calls special ordering this book. The title cracked me up-- and I did read it. It was not as funny as one would think, given the title--pretty grim. There is such profound regret in many of the characters in The Man in the High Castle. I salute Philip K Dicks for his daring and his imagination. I don't regret watching this series. It was quite well done. My piece for Week 20 begins with a repeated riff, that gets more agitated as it is embellished. It ends violin in sul tasto (over the fingerboard) and cello on a low C. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - JaiClone - Cherry Blossom

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:36:55 GMT

I wrote the original base for this song in 2012 on guitar, and even did a demo in Pro Tools! It was super rough though (it was my first proper official DAW), it had two acoustic guitar parts and two vocal parts, no panning, no eq, no comp, awful balance (harmonies as loud as the main vocal), etc. I think the only colour I used was a subtle reverb. Also, the verse lyrics were very mid... So here is version 2; tidier, better production, somewhat better lyrics(?), and I switched out the main guitar for piano (mostly out of laziness). I carried over the 'lead' guitar bits from the original, tinkered with the sound a lot, but in the end I think I was just not liking that it sounded like an acoustic, so maybe I should have used an electric guitar or an instrument track. Oh well... Overall, it somehow ended up both basically how I imagined a refined redo would turn out, while also not being quite what I expected. Go figure... The strange thing about trying to focus on completing my older stuff this year, is that it is reminding me that in my more mature 'just get it done' subjective approach to my music, it turns out there is a lot of material that once filled me with a hopeful 'this song could be a hit!' buzz that stirred up the emotions, now just gives me an 'I mean... it's fine, I guess...' feeling. Ironic; now that I have the means and the motivating challenge to finally do something with all this material I have gathered over the years, I just don't feel the magic anymore that used to burst out of me when I would perform them live :/ 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 "LDTB" Low effort weekly cheat upload before a hiatus is not quite how I pictured it but yea I'm burnt out from WB and demoralized from the time restraint. Luckily the universe's cards are in my favor for once and it comes right intime for us to move into our new place. Most excitingly having a room dedicated as a music studio. With that said, this unfinished idea of a song is from 2025. Ironically, created one year to the day of today. Is rough, at 16-bit audio, and its a little wonky but having my old HDD I can reboot some older ideas in the future. This being one potentially. photo of my studio setup in the apartment before I shutdown and start packing it up. This setup was in our reptile room next to our Cali-king "Day-O", Horntail "Harold", and Tegu "Zilla. *not pictured* our beardie "Sushi" So I'll leave everyone with my one year old demo with bad audio :P lol I hope everyone continues on their journey, progressing along the way.

Week 20 - cTrix - NES Life (Live from Nintendo Entertainment System)

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:24:15 GMT

Prototype live performance software for the Nintendo NES. Basically, it's LSDJ for the NES... and it's f''king awesome!! (more about it to be announced soon) Played live at Melbourne Chiptune Academy with Woz (front of house engineer) doing some additional filters and FX for me because no one brought a DJ mixer! (ooops!) This is straight out of the Nintendo audio sockets of a 1988 era NES model 01 (PAL). It's performed in the semi-developed live mode and written about 50% on the actual hardware and about 50% in emulator when I made it. I was demoing the software for the first time at Melbourne Chiptune Academy with a screen to the audience, so really flaunting my live skills in it - sometimes jumping phrases a bit early... but that's techno house for you!

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:06:29 GMT

Back from holiday came back feeling pretty revitalized. I discovered after I left Iceland that they have their variant of a fiddle, and I will need to get one sometime. I realized I can't take my Ipad out of airplane mode yet, because I had a show downloaded I want to watch. So no garageband, and I was not doing that on my phone. Used my phone to record and played with my erhu (the one I got back in February) while vocalizing and then cut it up, slowed it down, layered shit, played with effects, and made this little thing. I do not play ehru well,(still learning) so it's an open D and A with a bunch a noise because singing and playing is something I can't do. But whatever, it was fun and I learned a few things. Also didn't realize I create a high pitch noise sometimes with the erhu during recording which I have no idea how to fix, but now I know and can figure it out. So something to work on while playing and recording. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 May 2026 16:52:04 GMT

Back to techno to play WipeOut to. This track is raw, primitive, and unapologetic. Maybe even too brutal for WipeOut. A pounding 909 clone obliterated through some heavy distortion. A squelchy acid base line. Some harsh, cross modulating stretched out notes that sound like a printer from hell. And a pretty, albeit distorted, arpeggio if you make it towards the end.

Week 20 - Cakes - Press Check

Sun, 17 May 2026 16:42:58 GMT

Here's another 160 bpm deep d&b thing. I haven't been super content with these drums. I was originally attempting to put something together from scratch with my DMX VST and finally got something acceptable dialed in this morning. That was after I added some compression on the snare. There's a sampled break layer sitting on top of the DMX hits that also finally got things a bit more cohesive and added some forward motion. I still hear a lot of mud though. The track title is an homage to the break sample source. I had a lot more fun with the other elements this week. The arpping doodle in the middle of the tune needs some tweaki,ng but the general framework I was going for is there. I was farting around with erratic playing then tightening up with quantize to mimic faint memories of an 80s era Casio keyboard. Overall this needs more engineering to get some separation between the elements. I'm not sure If I love this enough to put the work in for that though. TBD. More importantly, week 20 is complete. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

This week is a longer ambient piece recorded from the Sonicware Liven Ambient 0 at 2 different speeds on the Portastudio (both in stereo, so all 4 channels were used). I was helping my partner at her booth at a comic convention this week and after these intense crowded days, I needed some place to rest, so I created one. This week I was going also through a difficult time speaking out against the use of AI for creative and artistic expression. I had to force myself to call out a peer of mine and although it was hard and I felt bad because it's difficult to be hard on a friend, I felt it was important to not stay silent. I'll probably write more about this topic, once I've sorted my thoughts and removed the unnecessary negativity. Anyway, making this week's piece was a way to deal with that negativity and calm myself. Thanks for listening and have a great week! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - mukti - MEZAME

Sun, 17 May 2026 16:28:28 GMT

This track started with the fast plucky synths, building into something that sounded more like chiptune. After adding and tweaking the track a ton, I turned it into a more washed out kinda dreamy track (but still pretty upbeat/intense). Mixing is okay, but I'm sure I'll hear something wrong with it after I listen to it more. Any feedback and critique is appreciated! I called the track MEZAME because I built a lot of the loops and beats while falling asleep and waking back up - not sure why but I always find that I make something cool when I'm dozing off 😅. "MEZAME" is the Japanese word for "the act of waking up from sleep" but also "becoming suddenly aware" - both of which kind of fit the vibe of the track.

Played some Star Citizen for the first time since 2015 this week and while cruising in a cloudy atmosphere i wrote that melody down on my m8 while looking the sun set on the horizon. In the end i just ported the melody over to ableton, slapped way too much reverb on it and looped it for over 3 minutes. I think this whole thing took me around 30 minutes to do but i liked it enough to just keep it as my weeklybeat. Not as flash as last week (which if you didnt see it yet check it out. im super proud of it) but it solves the purpose of filling another week as "finished". 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - Tom Foolery - Breathe me in, see me out

Sun, 17 May 2026 13:51:21 GMT

It is very late on Sunday as I am uploading this so bear with me. This track is a mostly finished demo that I was planning to re-record today, but ran out of time. I instead spent time with Jamatar making some ambient post-rock guitar improv stuff in a rehearsal room. I was thinking about uploading a recording from that session instead of this, but one of my goals for this year's weeklybeats was to try and write a song every week, and that means singing! So, uploading this, and I think I will return to the post-rock recording session next week and add some vocals hopefully. This week was big and busy. I noticed a lot of good fortune this week. A car park freeing up right as I needed to find one. At a takeaway place, a friend and I got a free schnitzel sandwich because they had mistakenly prepared the wrong one for the person before us. We had some beautiful foggy mornings here. It was mesmerising driving through the city as the lights set the sky ablaze in the early morning. It was such an odd but fun experience running around the track and seeing silhouettes fade in and out of view too. I also went and saw Eskimo Joe perform on their 20th anniversary tour of the album Black Fingernails, Red Wine. I have returned to that album so many times as I've grown up, but it has such strong ties to my childhood. I'd never seen the band perform live, so I didn't even know what they looked like, but as soon as they started performing I had that fantastic realisation - that thing that existed as a form of media for so long, the soundtrack to my memories, was right in front of me as a real tangible thing. They sounded incredible, and just like the album. Also, opening for them was Alex Lloyd and oh my, what a voice. He did a beautiful rendition of Hallelujah. Yesterday, the weather turned it on yet again (I fear the delayed winter will hit even harder). I made the most of it by going on a long run around the city, enjoying the sights: skyscrapers touching clouds, warped reflections of the city in the river, dogs walking around the tan track. A particular highlight was a man running up the Anderson St hill pushing two (reasonably well-grown) toddlers in a pram - I was thoroughly impressed, a very strong effort. The afternoon was spent riding around to Melbourne design week events with a group of friends. I struggle to explain here why I enjoyed it so much. The design exhibitions were great, and being able to experience them with friends was lovely. I have not managed to make time to listen to submissions this week (please forgive me) but I am looking forward to getting to them tomorrow! I am very excited to hear what everyone has been up to! Anyway, now I must sleep. (The planned complete lyrics): I get such a crush from watching her brush her hair the feeling is better when she doesn't know I'm there she floats down the street she moves in her own way and if I could meet her gaze I'd give myself away there's something she said it goes to my head again she's in my way she takes all my oxygen breathe me in and see me out and breathe me in and bleed me out I park and walk we don't have to talk about it the night is a raft and my head would drown without it 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - dreat - I'm Stumbling There

Sun, 17 May 2026 13:29:11 GMT

My second take on trash jig, this time with original melody. My friend pointed out that chords don't make sense in a few places, alas I don't have time to fix it. I won't probably do another trash jig next week, but I do want to revisit it during this WB, because it's heaps of fun + I want to "solidify" the "style". 7/4 again, with a lot of discovery how it should sound. I stumbled a lot, made mistakes, but I did learn quite a lot. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - MAXELL XL3 - reach eternity (part1)

Sun, 17 May 2026 09:45:04 GMT

With the help of my friends Günther on Rhodes and Bjarne on cello, we created a beautiful track based on a sample of Paul Bley’s piano music, which I manipulated slightly with my effect pedals. The loop itself is not countable, there is no fixed measure or grid, but it can definitely be felt. Both musicians did an amazing job building something that fit naturally without relying on a rhythmic structure. The session lasted more than 16 minutes of beautiful music, and I really wanted to share the complete piece, so I divided the track into two parts. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 May 2026 09:13:46 GMT

I wanted to explore more of the drones from recent sessions. Of course, it went down a completely different path. I might need to buy another Librae Legio - it's working well with taming the Dark Matter, it's not perfect but certainly better. However, it's not being used as an end of signal processor anymore. Anyway, usual suspects: Battering Ram and MIA. MIA works well through modulation and splitting the signal into the dark matter/electus. Still have no idea what this genre is :| 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - Stenny - What's Another Ten?

Sun, 17 May 2026 06:34:00 GMT

Started this piece with a general sense of fatigue from a lot of ongoing events, and perhaps a little bit due to this composition challenge. When I wrote the title, I was reflecting primarily on this being the 20th piece of this challenge, having completed another 10 pieces, but eventually that "ten" number started to seem like it pertained to other things - another decade of life, another night working until 10 PM, another 10% added or removed to some metric here or there that I didn't want to see moved. But I'm not on about some numerology shenanigans - we see what we want, and all in all, I just needed to find something to write this piece about, and turns out that the number ten can be found in a lot of my stressers if I look for it. The technical goal for this piece was to 1.) take the delay/distortion cloud technique from my last two pieces and take it from being the focal point of a piece to an accent, and 2.) to focus a bit more on the dots-and-lines-on-paper aspect of the piece - bringing my sheet music composition skills to Ableton - but it turns out writing music in a piano roll is still hard for me. I guess the sheet music to piano roll translation skill must come with time? Happy 20th, everyone! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 May 2026 05:20:38 GMT

I did not have much time this week and did this track on Sunday noon. I enjoyed some good time with friends in a sunny park on Saturday and love the May weather, when it starts getting hot. This makes me want to go to the beach, hence the intro of the sea foley. I added a couple of haws sounds because the local beach where i go to has a lot of hawks, always on the look to steal some food. I plugged the guitar and did this very simple improv, looking more for textures than interesting melodies or sounds. This was fun, and a good way to do a quick one. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - scottux - Patch from Scratch on the Super6 leads to nonsense

Sun, 17 May 2026 02:46:01 GMT

I did another patch from scratch exercise, this time on the UDO Super 6 desktop, and I kinda went in without much direction in mind, just sorta responding to whatever sounded cool. I think if I had any intention going into it, that was just to use the alternate waveforms, which absolutely lent this a very FM/phase synth sort of sound. I made the loop you hear in the background of this scene, which played as I sculpted the sound, and I think ultimately led to the sorta keys quality it has (the midi loop really wouldn't lend itself to long swells etc, for example). Anyway, one friend heard the loop and suggested it sounded like "ps2 era in a secluded grove", another "n64 water level vibes", and lastly another friend said it sounded "like an 80s anime when theyre explaining something spiritual", and I was feeling goofy and wrote up a tiny script for a monster battler called Dorkymon. Anyway, here's garbage, enjoy. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Made a quick instrument using the "Aalto" plugin, then made some change to create a swelling attack on my previous "Kaivo" plugin instrument/preset (go Madrona Labs!), then added a beat scripted using the Tidal Cycles subset of the 'pattrns' language for 'phrases' in Renoise, then automated some reverb changes over the 'master' track(very strange for me, as i don't normally put reverb on the master, only on individual tracks, but this time, what the hey)... thanks to the 'pattrns' scripting, all could get done within just 3 hours today, as i'm on the road (2200 miles driven from Michigan back to California to take care o' some biz, trying so hard to move this blocked/stagnant part of my life forward...) :mad: I AM THE WEEKLY BEAST!

Week 20 - jemmons - CNC

Sat, 16 May 2026 22:15:55 GMT

The challenge I set for myself this week was mixing into distortion. Sometimes I want to dirty up a track, but after a week of listening to it pristine, all I can hear when I add grunge are the losses. So this week the very first thing I set up was an Analog Heat at end-of-chain with the not-very-clean Mid Drive circuit engaged. Everything I patched after that, I only heard after already shredded. So I didn’t miss the bits left lying on the floor. The hardest part was keeping mid resonances under control given the amount of boost being applied by the Heat. But I’d definitely do it again. Lots of fun. On the other side of the Heat was an Octatrack (drums), Digitone (bass), and Analog Four (synthy stuff), everything captured in a single take. I spent the whole time with one hand on a QPER and the other on a crossfader, but I think it came out pretty nice. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 20 - evanericksonmusic - Dead Guys

Sat, 16 May 2026 22:00:48 GMT

Hi guys, I initially started this week thinking I was going to do a gimmick of taking 3 old and unfinished projects and combining them to make a silly 3 movement song. Once I got to this song, it clicked right into place and I just wanted it to be its own solid song not tied to some silly idea. But, this one is kinda silly. I had a lot of fun getting out my Ableton Move again to time stretch different samples of my friends. The main flute-y sound is a recording from one of my old classical tunes sliced up. I have a big folder of recordings from old classical songs I wrote and I throw them into literally every track I submit. Lots of surprising sound layers throughout this track. I dialed down some of the “bad” sounding elements with EQ, so they are less abrasive. I wanted to keep the spice, but definitely a bit of taming it down makes it sound more blended. Hope you enjoy! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Chopped up some clips from a jam I did with my buddy on Friday. A nice ambient soup to relax into. Not a lot of movement, but I hope the atmosphere it provides is enjoyable! Looping something I played on my Minifreak, putting it through Ikarie and Sealegs before slamming it through MSCL for way too much limiting/compression. My buddy had his Digitakt going through a resonator and reverb/delay setup for more atmosphere and sound design goodness. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Sat, 16 May 2026 18:48:55 GMT

Didn't have much more than a solid hour for this one as I have been re-learning how to DJ after a solid decade away from the craft lolz! Still certainly going to be writing but shifting my main musical focus and style. Me as 'Joshua Morgan' will likely no longer be producing any new music at the beginning of the new year. Not really a re-branding as I'm stopping that all together and doing something completely different. That being said, for the remainder of this year, I will be experimenting with as many genres and styles as I can cram in to the remainder of this year. I def could have done a better mastering job as it's not much more than Decapitator and Sausage Fattener (they go on EVERYTHING! lolz) but for this quick and dirty DnB track, I'm fairly satisfied. Hope you enjoy and see you next week :) And as usual everything was written with the m8 and exported into Ableton 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Had one of those weeks this week where you start a track, then it doesn't work so you mess with something else (FMS by the guy behind fors, seems great but I need time with it before a track will exist), and then eventually start an idea late in the week and finish it in a day. This is another of the interstitial pieces for an imaginary album this year. I'm enjoying the exercise of not writing a full track just a musical idea that can exist. Used the SEM synth by arturia in ableton and then added noises and textures on top, automating a lot to keep it going. Enjoy 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 20 - LeCroqueMonsieur - Madeleine Citron

Sat, 16 May 2026 10:52:37 GMT

Yet another iPhone creation (recording, mixing etc.), but that is what this year is about anyway. Probably one of my strongest creation in my opinion. Madeleine are little cakes typical of French cuisine and I love to make them. It also happens that we had lemons (citron) at home in the South of France and I will cook just about everything with it. It’s a taste of home. This song is that, it’s a bit of sun from the Mediterranean sea, the smell of citrus and just a fresh morning when I was a kid. Got inspired by a lot of Parcels I was listening to lately and wanted to do “medieval funk”, which happens to sound almost like flamenco… who knows? Besides, solos have always been my weakest point and bass heavy stuff is my staple. This was a completely new style for me and I loved it.

I was trying to create something a bit chaotic and difficult to follow and I knew I had succeeded when my friend said that it sounds like a robot being operated on.

Week 20 - cistern stairs - white blossom ghost

Fri, 15 May 2026 21:40:05 GMT

Week 20 Goal at start 5/12 Choose a reference song with layers that I can understand and try to replicate that set up. End notes 5/15 I’m pleased with the result of this week (could have been worse). I was more in the groove of focusing on the emotion of the melodies from the beginning, so I think that’s why it worked out. Plan for next week I might need to pick something easy for next week, like an ambient song or something without a lot of rhythm. There are some other things I need to get caught up on so I’ll leave the option open to dial back a bit next week. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

A doer is someone who gets actively involved in tasks and gets things done, rather than just thinking or talking about them. They are pragmatic, energetic people who focus on taking action to turn ideas into reality. That's what Google tells me anyways. Think about that. Someone who is intentionally evil. An evil doer is not someone you should spend your time with. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - WahSp - Ethereal

Fri, 15 May 2026 14:24:19 GMT

More Tidal Cycles + Ableton Live and VSTs. This time I mostly worked with various Arturia synths, such as reproductions of the ARP 2600, Juno 6 (in my opinion, the star of this track) and Jupiter 8. I also tried out a new LinnDrum plugin that I recently bought. I wanted to do something with an odd time signature again. This one has 5 beats in a measure. I did try to be a bit more consistent with the signature compared to last week's submission. I made use of the sequencing possibilities in Tidal Cycles, so the arrangement was prebaked. I did manipulate the sounds (filters and so on) using a Launch Control XL. I wonder if it would be fun to add the Tidal Cycles script that I used for this, including some notes I wrote to myself. › script‹ script -- patterns let lead1 = struct "1 0 0 1 <0 1 0>" $ note " " # "midilead" # midichan 0 lead2 = struct "0 1 0 1 <0 1>" $ note "g5 b4 " # "midilead" # midichan 1 lead3 = stack [ struct "1 0 1 0 <1 0 1>" $ note " " # legato 1.3 # "midilead" # midichan 2, ccn 56 # ccv (slow 8 $ range 40 80 sine) # "midifx" # midichan 0 ] bass = struct "0 0 1 0 1" $ note " " # "midibass" # midichan 0 pad = slow 2 $ note "" # "midipad" # midichan 0 drumsA = stack [ struct "1 0 1 0 0" $ midinote 36 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "0 0 0 1 0" $ midinote 40 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "0 < 1 [1 1]> 0 1 [1 1]" $ midinote 42 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "<1 0 0> 0 0 0 0" $ midinote 46 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "0 1 0 0 1" $ midinote 69 # "mididrums" # midichan 0 ] drumsB = stack [ struct "0 < 1 [1 1]> 0 1 [1 1]" $ midinote 42 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "<1 0 0> 0 0 0 0" $ midinote 46 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "0 1 0 0 1" $ midinote 69 # "mididrums" # midichan 0 ] drumsC = stack [ struct "1 0 1 0 0" $ midinote 36 # "mididrums" # midichan 0, struct "0 < 1 [1 1]> 0 1 [1 1]" $ midinote 42 # "mididrums" # midichan 0 ] drumsD = stack [ struct "1 0 1 0 0" $ midinote 36 # "mididrums" # midichan 0 ] {- Game plan: Lead 2 slider 1 is 6 at resting level Start with delay send on lead 1 more or less all the way done.

Week 20 - ENC_ - W20 - 5_15_26 FMSTESTR

Fri, 15 May 2026 11:51:52 GMT

Spent the week distracted. Talked w/ AL about the reflections on slow and fast thinking, about the allocation of thought type in regard to tense consideration, connection between cultural or taught outcomes, and how it feeds into industry and the tech one we used to work in. Morality, history, and the present is forgone for a future planning. STEM heavy industry trains to lack critical thinking outside certain lanes. Those attracted to the industry often highly specialize and never build broader knowledge or skills to solve for problems with out getting into speculative loops. What can be done now or has been done historically is not a place where slow thinking is applied only a unpredictable future that needs to be tamed or claimed. There can be no reflection, only desperate attempts to grab control of the future. It is not surprising so many of us were children of immigrants trained to seek only better futures our parents didn't have at all costs, intelligent insecure people seeking validation for their social shortcomings, or those with close minded self devotions. Always re-inventing the wheel because, don't know enough history to recognized a well trodden path. Learned about early excellence not being a good later in life outcomes. Indicators show broader and slower skill accumulation in safe environments during childhood had more sway over outcomes. It better prepared the children for adulthood by teaching them how to master and connect mixed disciplined skills, to find better specializations, and overcome unpredictable obastacles with problem solving rather than following convention. Reported worse early careers but, better long term ones. Reflected on the failure of competitive suburb status based uprbrining and "tiger mom" efficiency approaches. Complicated feelings. Hike w/ AL for 4 hours for 8 miles in the redwoods and eucalyptus trees. Remarkably sore. Went to chiptune related concert when ask by friends after (MBR). Trashcan highlight. Talked late into the night about music. Went to re-opening favorite used shop.... mixed feelings discussed w/ wife. Ate out, she ordered too much food. We'll being eating left overs for a while :) Checking in on some discords about Superbooth stuff. Explored retrogames inspried by time trouble shooting GBA stuff tinkering with. Pulled out old video game collection hardware for a run. Strangely into car modding this week. Media consumed: Conair (1997), Men In Black (1997), Bookworm (GBA), Golden Axe (GBA), KLAX (NES), Tetris (NES), Beamrider (A2600), Kirby All-Star (SNES) WDUWSTS NSF demos from 2009, DJ Rashad - Double cup, AFX - analog bubble bath.

Lost all progress and work 2 times before realizing the issue. Inspired to play more games and to revisit LSDJ again. Really enjoying rediscovering GBA and LSDJ (used all owned units but landed on sp). Eventually moved FMS over to emulation handheld until new battery comes in. Spent an couple of hours blindly tinkering and getting used to system and left it. Very intuitive having used other systems. Didn't really need to look up anything for basics. Spent most of free time tinkering w/ LSDJ sample kit making. Decided to just jam out test parts in FMS and call it for this week. Emulator started slowing down w/ too many echos on the main screen, so no live timber tweeks. Data screen ok. Did a warm up and then just recorded a live single take recorded to DR-40. Cleaned and mastered result in Ableton. Getting ideas for live integration w/ other material. Looking into exploring time signature layering in trackers and sequencers. Would like to explore more complicated things about rhythm in the future. File Names: 5_15_26 FMSTESTR ableton, TEST bank 1 FMS, 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - NickLong - Bar Fight

Thu, 14 May 2026 21:32:43 GMT

This weeks weekly beats is a deliberately idiotic bit of glam metal. The intension was to channel Kiss or one of those bands that are always talking about people trying to take your rock and roll away combined with the tongue in cheek nature of The Darkness or The Metal by Tenacious D. Our hero enters a bar (lets imagine it's like the Country and Western Bar from the Blues Brothers) and naturally puts rock on the juke box. This triggers a fight with the metal hating locals. Naturally our protagonist always has a "loaded six string on his back" like Bon Jovi and proceeds to shred so hard he destroys the whole bar which he rebuilds into a metal loving biker joint. For music nerds its made with: Synthesizer V Hxvoc on vocals Modern and Massive on Drums Neural Darkglass Ultimate on Bass Neural Nameless, Misha and Gojira on guitars. Bitwig as a DAW. Nothing fancy this week, all 4/4 no key changes dumb as a rock I IV V. People who have followed my other songs will notice I've finally honoured my promise to Henry to write a metal song with a lyric about boiled eggs. Lyrics I cross the bar Nickel in my hand I want to rock Jukebox at my command Some guy comes up and tells me You can't play metal here And now the fists are gonna fly You stop my metal you're gonna die Bar fight Bar fight It's gonna ignite Bar fight Bar fight Makes me feel alright I'm on the bar Time to make my stand I'm cracking heads like boiled eggs Pool cue in my hand There's 20 guys behind me and 20 up ahead Pull my guitar from off my back It's gonna be a solo attack TIME TO SHRED! Bar fight Bar fight It's gonna ignite Bar fight Bar fight Makes me feel alright There's no more bar There's just a crater here I'm standing in the wreckage Blowing smoke from my guitar These fools have learned the power Of god damned rock and roll Rebuilt it as a biker club We only play metal in my pub Bar fight Bar fight It's gonna ignite Bar fight Bar fight Makes me feel alright 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 20 - gify - Gaspard the Friendly Slasher

Thu, 14 May 2026 03:18:28 GMT

By day, this friendly grocer slashes prices... but by night? I used 12 tracks of Synth1 for this one. Didn't end up using any hardware at all, lol. Got the idea for the song in the shower on Tuesday morning. It didn't sound like a horror movie theme in my head, but those were definitely the notes I had in mind so I just rolled with it! I tried to use some AI BS to generate a movie poster for this, but I realized what you can see in your own imagination is 1000% better than what any AI can make, so there's no point in even wasting the electricity. :) Thanks for listening and stay safe, friends! 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 20 - Earp Lug - Floating

Thu, 14 May 2026 01:57:50 GMT

This week I didn't really know what to do, so I recorded a 30 minute jam using my Korg Volca Drum, MicroKorg, and Sonicware Liven Ambient 0. I then took different portions from the jam and rearranged them into a more cohesive song that had a bit more structure. The backbone of the piece is my Volca Drum running through the delay and reverb built into my Stylophone CPM-DS2. I had the drum have a low percent chance to trigger in a few different locations on the 16-step sequencer. The drum was sort of a gong sound, with some randomization that makes it sound different every time. When it runs through the delay, it creates a percussive sound that comes in and then fades away before being triggered at random again. To add to the texture, I took some portions of the recording where my Liven Ambient also had the delay turned up. I would play a note with a slow attack and release, the resonance pretty high, and the cutoff low, then turn the cutoff up and down quickly so the the delay would catch and create this almost digeridoo-like sound. I also had a recording of me sweeping through the cutoff to extend a note a bit that I utilised at the beginning, middle, and end, but it mostly gets swallowed up by the lead synth. To create the lead synth, I took a part of the recording of the MicroKorg where the notes had an almost instant attack and slow release. It was running through my reverb, compressor, and harmonizer (set to an octave or -7 down) pedals, which added to an effect that almost sounds like a string being plucked. My timing was a little random, so I took a portion where I played three notes and repeated it three times. The strange thing about hearing it over and over is they sound a little different each time, even though it's a perfect repeat. I also added a few other portions where I was playing notes into the MicroKorg in order to give additional texture, namely the portion in the middle where I am playing two notes and slowly speed up until I totally lose the rhythm and they descend into chaos before returning to the "chorus" of the three notes being played, and the ending where I played a simple melody with a much slower attack that allowed me to play "ghost notes" that are almost inaudible in between the stronger notes. To end the piece, I created a melody out of the ghost note section that has a great beginning, but ends with a stronger note to end on. It sort of rounds out the final section, and gives time for the drums and other droning sounds to fade out. I forgot to mention but the notes harmonise pretty well because I was just playing the black keys again, and there are sections where I was only playing one note but in different octaves on both the MicroKorg and Ambient 0. They all got separated from eachother in the edit, but this ethos seemed to pay off in terms of creating a cohesive feeling with a lot of different experimental techniques being utilized. For the video, I used footage I shot on my Sony Handycam HDR-260v while on a balloon ride with my new (and only) wife back in February. Her father kindly purchased this ride for us as a wedding present, and I used the experience as an opportunity to get a ton of footage for future film projects. The camera has really good image stabilization, but I sped it up between 200-400%, which is why it's a little jittery and the cars sometimes whiz by. I added an adjustment layer over the footage and messed with the colors a bit to make the image feel a little warmer and richer, and I tried to make all the cuts match the video as best I could. I selected the shots almost at random, I just wanted the four longest clips so there would be a lot of room for them to be sped up without forcing me to make cuts unless I actually wanted to. This video was pretty heavily inspired by Jörg Thomasius's Meditation (1985). You can see it here if you'd like, I think that it's one of the most underrated experimental songs I've come across: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VtAWjn88Pk Eventually I will post the original jam recording to the Video Sketch Archive alongside the analog video wizard visuals I created while reviewing the music.

Week 20 - djippy - Tiptoe Through the Tulips (The Tale of Doris and Moose) (Paisley Frog Drum Challenge)

Thu, 14 May 2026 01:25:41 GMT

Sorry you all, I am not at a great place to put time to compose those last weeks, so I just take cool tracks from here and ask for permission to just play over it! This time the "winner" was PaisleyFrog. I had a lot of fun recording loud drums over his second part of the song. This weekend, I did fly to Calgary for the Judo Canadian Open championships with the kiddo... Still crossing my fingers as I write that (early upload) that he will make his weight, but I am confident. I'll come back to edit the submission next Sunday with some cool Rockies Mountains picture if I have the time. :) Did use Logic to edit drums (Paisley Frog Project was under Logic, and I have a license so why not), but I am not great with it... It did cause me a couple headheaches... When you don't know well a tool, it is not easy! was finally able to set it up fine, but had some issues with the time strech, I do have a couple of "phasy" audio that I just let in finally it adds just more weirdness so why not! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Mon, 11 May 2026 00:01:30 GMT

Another ambient track like Hollow Castle, with maybe a little less going on. Originally I had scrapped this idea and wanted to try something with more going on, not because I didn't think it sounded good, but because the process felt too easy. With ambience songs like this, it feels like just finding a really cool Pad and then just playing chords, and the release / reverb work themselves out. Maybe it's just myself and the arbitrary standards I set myself to, regardless, here it is. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Room to walk, but too many people to keep track of which affords a kind of anonymity. Big patches of shadows and sun from the towering buildings. A sense of smallness among them, having to crane your neck to look above. Various stretches of newness, construction in progress, and dilapidation. A smell of street food, trash, wet asphalt, A cool breeze funnels around. The snappy response of your shoe against a concrete sidewalk. Crosswalks beeping. Cars passing not too quickly. A general sense of bustle. Shades of gray, black, blue reflections glinting on glass. A rainbow of spattered colors and plumage on cars, people, and signs. Most things look like they’d be cold if you touched them unless they are sitting in a rare patch of glaring sun. A sense of vastness yet confinement.

Do you receive? Come in, standing by, requesting coordinates, all stations, on this channel, over, radio check, testing 1212, wires › object writing‹ object writingNot really object writing this week but I dumped this: Sitting with discontent. It comes in moments where I get a glimpse of a better possibility. On social media when I see others traveling. Hiking mountains, surfing real waves. Felt strongly on the couch. Also while traveling to anywhere. Even a visit to an unremarkable place is colored with the question “should I move here? Would I be better off?” The grass always seems greener There’s a whole world inside the piano keyboard in my apartment, or the codebase downloaded to my projects folder. Endless time could be spent fruitfully there. Instead its spread thing attempting to satiate every desire, making it more difficult to truly satiate any one. It comes in moments that make you question the connections you have. It comes in moments of emotional turmoil. It’s easier to silence the noise with a flood of new or intense stimulation than by revisiting the same old piano or looking out the same old window. Instead of appreciating and leaning into the moment, it means constantly seeing flaws in it and asking “how could this be better?” The feeling is a stress and tension. Wanting to be somewhere that requires great effort to get to. Cortisol. Heartbeat spike. A tug-of-war. A yearning. Noise in the background.

Week 19 - BurnedOutSun - vinum est poesis

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:58:27 GMT

Well, that's a first! I think that was the first time we've tried incorporating lyrics into our jams :3 I've had in mind delving into the songwriting at some point. But I wasn't doing much homework on my weeklybeats lately, unfortunately. However on our today's jam since I was thinking of trying that for a while - I quickly scratched the lyrics and presented them to the guys, Adam, who is on vocals and bass here - turned them into vocals and we recorded a few takes on an iphone. Attempting to "master" the recording was fun X) Pretty satisfied with the result, though I think that the amount of DSP on a recording and my attempts to make instruments clear via multiband compression gaslight me a bit, at some point the guitar sounds as if it has chorus engaged, which I'm pretty sure wasn't the case :D › lyrics‹ lyrics I've had it easy For long Went with the wind Turned out a fraud I don't belong, don't bother -- -- What should I say How has it been? I've never seen And I forgotten Days have been heavy So bored Cold lights don't blink Don't be so loud We're all tag along, doesn't matter 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 19 - maksy - Nicht für mich

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:58:21 GMT

This song is for my mom. I know that she likes the band "cigarettes after sex". So I wrote this song in the style of them for her :) Lyrics: Manchmal wünsch ich mir die alten Zeiten wieder her Satte Farben überall, mein Herz war vielleicht halb so schwer Dann und wann sehe ich kein Licht Weil die Welt um mich zusammen bricht Doch immer wenn es so weit ist, weiß ich, ich habe dich Manchmal frag ich mich wie du das alles schaffst Weiter durchziehst, dich egal was ist zusammenraffst Ohne dich ist es einfach schwer Mir vorzustellen was sonst gewesen wär Denn ohne das Geschenk von dir wäre ich nicht hier Ich will nur eins, dass du nicht vergisst dass all das für dich selbstverständlich ist Aber nicht für mich Diese Zeilen werden dir nicht gerecht (4x) Lyrics translation: Sometimes I wish I could bring back the old days Rich colors everywhere, my heart was maybe half as heavy Every now and then I see no light Because the world around me is falling apart But whenever that happens, I know I have you Sometimes I wonder how you manage it all Keep going, pull yourself together no matter what Without you, it’s just hard To imagine what else might have been Because without the gift you gave me, I wouldn’t be here I only want one thing: that you don’t forget That all of this is a given for you But not for me These lines don’t do you justice (4x) 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Here is a speedtrash on organ. I spent this week working on getting a good sound on the new organ, but I didn't get there quite yet. I want it to be fatter in the high octaves. I'll figure it out. Didn't have much time for composing this week but I did make a Mr Woofmantic song and I played at an open mic as well as a mini gig today - improvised acoustic piano music for contemporary dancers.

Week 19 - Michael Morrow - I Will Be Forgiven

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:53:09 GMT

This week I've been stuck on some lines from Psalm 25: "Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord, are good.' It struck me again how outrageous these words are. How can we respect a God who forgets? For God to be just, how can he overlook the wrong we have done? What was David thinking when he first prayed this prayer? Could he have imagined a time, hundreds of years in the future, when Jesus would make a way for his sins to be paid for in full, leaving no trace of them in God's memory? Could he have imagined that Jesus would completely satisfy both God's justice and his mercy? I've also had one of Sister Carita Kent's rules stuck in my head this week: 'Consider everything an experiment'. There is much more to be said about God's mercy and justice, but here is this week's experiment in expressing in song the mind-blowing mercy and justice of God: I know I’m wrong and you know it too How can we pretend that the truth is not true Justice demands I pay back what I stole The law will not rest till I’ve paid it in full Where your justice and mercy meet I will be forgiven No more guilt hanging over me I will be forgiven There’s a God of unfailing love There’s a God who would die for us To satisfy his justice To satisfy his love You make me bold to come your throne I’m on my knees but I know I belong Justice is done and mercy flows free Lord, you are good, will you be good to me? Where your justice and mercy meet… © 2026 Michael Morrow 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 19 - Dustsucker - Silver Spork

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:52:47 GMT

..can I ask you kind of a weird question? › Production brmpdfpm‹ Production brmpdfpmAnother track started with a crunchy OP1-F drum loop. Through messing with the option to add pauses in the sequencer it turned into this strange 7/4 groove that felt pretty interesting. Sampled it in M8 in two different keys, then went to work layering a bunch of synths on top. Usually I do bespoke sounddesign on M8, but this time I mostly went with a cool preset pack recently released by fellow Weekly Beats user Joshua Morgan on the M8 discord, which features remakes of their favorite Hydrasynth sounds. I did mess with their settings a bit and added in a sneaky Hypersynth of my own, among some other small additions. The initial loop proved difficult to get out of when I layed down the initial beat. I took another jab at it in the train when I went into the city to meet my mom today, then added all of the leads and a bunch of other stuff when I got back home in the evening. The 7/4 groove makes this one kind of panicky, especially combined with the overload of hi-end crunchiness. I have no idea what is going on with the harmony. A lot of the lead noodling is super janky, cause it's hard to pin the exact tuning on the root note. Even with a bunch of tweaking I couldn't find a stable tuning. Ended up pitching all synths up by an 8th step, no idea if that really fixed it. Some additional mastering in Logic, fancy plugin version.

Week 19 - Continuous Nonlinearities - Soft myths

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:46:41 GMT

Another noisy one, but quiet-ish? Not in terms of volume, but mood. Ample use of Fairfield 20% More, which finds its way onto the Pulsar-23 bass synth and some half-hidden guitar. Other bass synth feature: Fairfield Conflict of Interest modulating the tuning at audio rates for some abrasive FM tones. I actually tried using the Pulsar less this time; I've been feeling like I'm making my drums too busy lately so I tried pulling back. Relatively minimal everything else: the bleep synth is a very simple Prophet patch arpeggiating or playing through the notes of a Cm7 chord, the chorus pad is three notes on the Alpha Juno, some small hihats from the Digitakt, and... that's pretty much it. My audio interface decided to start dying as I tried to mix down the track, adding a shrill wail onto everything that makes me think it has a dying capacitor. Fortunately I was able to mix down into my field recorder, but this makes another in the list of "equipment that needs replacement/fixing". I'll have to take a look at it when I've got an opportunity/get to buying all the new things I've already decided I need to get. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 19 - MRDRCAT - Electrostatic Interference

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:45:25 GMT

I didn't have a melodic idea for this week, so I decided to add to the drone setup a little. This time around, we have the Stylophone DS2 on drones and FX, the Monotribe is back but just for noise sweeps with FX via the DS2, and now there are pads from the MicroMonsta 2 (controlled by the Pocket Scion), with THAT whole live jam dumped into the M8 for an extra drone, some percussion, and sample & hold. The noise is too loud. It's supposed to be too loud at the end, but it starts too loud and does not have any room to ramp up. Since it's mixed with the DS2's signal for FX, I can't turn it down. No time for a second take! Deadline is in 15 minutes! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 19 - Tomatron.Jones - The Midnight #4

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:44:49 GMT

In anticipation of seeing The Midnight on the Saturday before this beat was due, I made yet another track with samples from The Midnight sample pack. It started with some sample chopping of a chord sample, then I made a drum kit with their drum samples and made a synthbass with Ableton and a synthbass sample. The main chopped sample kinda reminds me of Pogo. The lead synth is a very Nintendo-y sounding with Cradle Audio State Machine BitFlip synth VST. I was a bit too ambitious with some transposing / key changes on the sampler. I have a bunch of different basslines / motifs and some weird melodic key changes that are kind of interesting but ultimately I don't feel very strongly about it. I took what could have been a straightforward lofi synthwave beat and made it a bit too weird, ha. I don't really love the vibe of this track so I wonder why I kept on it. Perhaps the sunk cost fallacy? I need to have fun making stuff rather than just finish something for the sake of it. * Synth chords and drum hits from The Midnight sample pack * Synth bass from Ableton bass + The Midnight sample pack * Lead synth from Cradle Audio State Machine BitFlip * Ample use of Transit, Valhalla, RC-20 plugins * Gullfoss and Ozone Elements for mastering Total time: 6 hours 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

May flowers here in Washington state!Fun little trivia, I travel all along the westcoast as a freelance animator / musician. That's what I do as my job, making beats is self flatulatory. Well okay it -might- become something. Whipped something fast and completely new, used a mix of Eli Derp and Underbelly old samples for this one. I got hooked on Blue Prince the game, and instead of commenting on other people's music like I said I should I spent it hanging out with friends. Darn me! I really want to give a lot of my commenter's a listen and drop a few nice words. Anyways, have a lovely week, hope you all are doing well, beat makers! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 19 - miraclemiles - Cordyceps Rhizome Up Version

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:42:00 GMT

This week's track is also my contribution to this week's Disquiet Junto project. The assignment: Record the final third of a trio. I look forward to participating in this asynchronous collaboration every year. I was reminded again this week that I love collaboration, async or in sync. We all have our skills and perspectives. Nice to bring them together. I could not play this bass line, and I loved listening to and playing along with it. The collaborators are: Daniel Diaz's part 2 or 3 "Cordyceps Dub." He said: "I initially wanted to push it into a dub direction — not sure it fully works — but I had fun adding delays and plate reverbs to bring out that feel." and Benn DeMole's 1 of 3 "Cordyceps". It looks like he didn't post any notes, but his part is the tubuler(?), resonating and bell like main percussion. This isn't the first year I have async collabed with these artists, they are great, check them out. I also thought dub direction, but also, not sure what it really is other than what it is, the thing that it is. I played drums, added rhythm chords, voices, percs, and other little bits of auditory mycelium. Spread verb and delay. Used a comping drum process I like when playing on a new song with limited time. Looped phrases and recorded multiple takes, then using Ableton's take lanes to pick which is best and repeating through the song. Best to stop as soon as something tickles. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 19 - Jason Nijjer - wandering blue stillness

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:40:15 GMT

Not much time to work on the mixing, so not really sure how this sounds outside of headphones. Started this one with a VCV patch using a looper called Tehom, originally I had a really dark sound which I wasn't feeling with the sunny vibes outside. Changed up the VCO to a brighter warmer sound and the rest of the track unfolded from there. The Tehom module has a little fish that randomly roams around and crossfades between 4 simulated tape decks. The track was to emulate the little guy exploring the lake as the sun shines to melt the ice above. Hope everyone had a great weekend, as always thanks for stopping by for a listen, appreciate it. 2026 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

I've actually been messing around a lot on my keyboard this week but still need to find a good way to get that into the M8 or my computer. I have a tiny apartment and already feels like I'm playing tetris with gear at this point so let's see. So this was kind of last minute and thrown together in about an hour. I decided to go back through the last 7-8 weeks and pick a tone from each song I liked the most. I also grabbed just two samples I was at from a party earlier today (which are in the very beginning). Hopefully next week I can get an earlier start! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:38:23 GMT

I'm starting a new long form multi-week piece again. Beat Collective collected 7 short Searching for Sound samples for this month's challenge. Simón Mejía is a founding member of Bomba Estéreo, a folk-electronic fusion band from Bogotá, Colombia. In 2018 Red Bull commissioned a documentary series for Apple TV "Searching for Sound" featuring several artists including Simón. I instantly recognised that these samples are perfect for a classic Incrementalism style. In this week, I've use two of the samples, with the third being introduced for the next movement. My goal is to use all 7, but never more than two at a time. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 19 - gify - Lost Groove

Sun, 10 May 2026 23:27:45 GMT

I accidentally made a cool sound on this one. The warbley effect on the plinky key lead is actually caused by the Graillon 3 auto-tune plugin. I think it's fighting the chords and can't decide how to tune it, so it warbles the pitch. The rest was based on a drum groove I made super late one night this week. I got a new analog monosynth this week and barely used it at all in this track, despite my best efforts... doh! 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)
