Week 46 - ViridianLoom - City Under Shadow

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:48 GMT

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

Week 46 - PeterM - SUBLIMINAL

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:38 GMT

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

Week 46 - laguna - Craving

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:59:04 GMT

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

Week 46 - myfirstpunksong - Fuzz Ghost

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:52:30 GMT

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

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:47:08 GMT

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

Week 46 - miraclemiles - reading stories, telling stories

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:42:41 GMT

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

Week 46 - xavier marques - Quase La

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:38:26 GMT

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

Week 46 - Tomatron.Jones - To Rewind Time Reprise

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:35:24 GMT

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

Week 46 - MRDRCAT - Duck and Cover!

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:26:54 GMT

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

Week 46 - tarsiidea - Long Road Home

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 23:21:27 GMT

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

Continuing my Drum & Bass excursion in Renoise, I found a break to play with and try out some randomized sample slicing fills. I then added a deeper, but more aggressive bass sound, which I pared with a similar lead progression. To top it off, I added a chiptune-esque arpeggio line with plenty of delay to add atmosphere. I then proceeded to create the arrangement. I added some additional effects before final mix and mastering of the track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

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

Lots of street food vendors, restaurants and other food-related experiences in Indonesia inspired this one. Think gas burners, wok hei, fried everything, add a blend of Chinatown to the mix… On the technical side, not super happy, took forever to actually piece something together. Since it's deep in the night where I am, I also didn't re-record the vocals and pieced everything together from my first demo recording that I had just randomly sung into my phone… anyway, I hope you still like it :) Lyrics: All across the planet People need to eat We have always done it Smoky tofu, beans or meat Through culture and through times We always needed fuel And turned it into something nice Not just a basic joule Turning on the heat again, the frying needs to start Taste and try and taste again, you cook with all your heart… Garlic oil Onions spoil Light the flame under the stove Fry the rice Toss the spice Light the flame under the stove If it rains Add a plane Light the flame under the stove A market on the dire straits or a starry restaurant Aunts and uncles in their house Making food is fun Everybody, every belly loves some flavour most From spicy bread to sugar jelly We cook, steam, fry and roast Turning on the heat again, the frying needs to start Taste and try and taste again, you cook with all your heart… Garlic oil Onions spoil Light the flame under the stove Fry the rice Toss the spice Light the flame under the stove If it rains Add a plane Light the flame under the stove Garlic oil Onions spoil Light the flame under the stove Fry the rice Toss the spice Light the flame under the stove If it rains Add a plane Light the flame under the stove Light the fire in the stove Light the flame under the stove 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 21:55:49 GMT

I've been inspired by some of the "sound wall" uploads and wanted to try something of the sort. I endeavored to attempt some violin live looping and gloriously screwed up. I forgot to turn off my subwoofer and got an unexpected feedback drone. the rhythm is all screwed up and wonky. I recorded only 2 takes and stitched them together. I didn't really intend to any processing other then the live lopping but the glitching in the first half comes from ableton thinking the bpm was 160 when it supposed to be 80 and then awkwardly time warping. in the second half, I just tweaked a couple parameters in the warping algos.

M8 industrial techno, sorta? It doesn't really know what it wants to be. The BPM is slow, the drums are pretty industrial, the instrumentation more mid-tempo techno, the whole thing is pretty filthy. It's good. But it's not very self-aware at this point. It nonetheless premiers a few kicks and snares from my new Pulsar-23, which will hopefully make a more full appearance next week. I feel like this wanted vocals and lyrics - but there was just no time. For now.

Then slides into a Ponticello section which is nearly on top of the bridge with a rather other-worldly sound. The a Presto ends it-- The key of A minor reigns. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 46 - Tomavatars - Laser Eyes

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 20:55:15 GMT

Hello ! Last night I finished the video game Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. I absolutely loved this game! It's a masterpiece and I've been so affected by the experience that I've just had! So I thought it would be a good idea to name my piece of the week with a bit of this game in it. Once again, I did this piece with a lot of SBAM (my Falcon script). But this time I also used Battalion and a new vst synth that will be released next week. I also made some presets for it, so good use of my work :D Hope you like this (maximised) track and see you next week!

Week 46 - snoopy over the hills - WAV.RYDERS EPISODE 15

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 20:53:51 GMT

Today was a real challenge as I was co-hosting the event while crafting my beat. I intentionally lowered my own expectations and followed the first idea that came to mind to complete the challenge. This track is more of a sketch than a polished beat—the transitions between parts are rough, the drum leveling isn’t great, and there’s practically no EQ or mixing on the tracks. Still, I had so much fun with the pack, the challenge, and hosting. We had 25 producers in the room, each giving their best. I absolutely love this community - it’s such a creative hub where so many different people come together who might otherwise never meet. The genres are as diverse as the people behind the music, and I’m proud to be part of this amazing collective. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 19:40:45 GMT

Hello frainds... Started off working on something else with a drum loop and such then decided sunday (today) morning to re-listen to this one take chordle i smeared out last sunday night after listening to some inspiring music. It felt soothing to just zone out for a bit to it after attempting to squish beats together with the previous idea. So that led me to shelve the first idea and just add more cushion to the chord progression. A couple pads from Zebra and 2 from Diva. Rinse & Repeat.

Week 46 - onezero - The Knot

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 18:39:44 GMT

This one started with the fingerpicking figure you hear in the left channel at the beginning, which I tracked against Live's metronome. On getting that down...I realized that it was in 11/4. I don't think I've ever done anything in 11/4 before, but here we are: it's a weird meter for me. Some parts lend themselves to it naturally, though others kept falling into 12/4, and I needed to reject them or (in a few parts in the middle) edit them a bit to fit with 11. It's an interesting exercise. My arrangement required some attention, particularly in the ordering and joins between parts, but I tried to keep things as naturally recorded as possible. Some notes or chords needed a nudge this way or that, though. With the constraint of the meter, it made the most sense to keep other things simple, so we have three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola in standard tuning. (Hey--it looks like the price has dropped on this. Get in if you can--it's a solid beast of a guitar in the grand Fender tradition.) No inline effects, but convolution reverb for space and the usual compression/eq on the stereo out. The title comes from the wonderfully named village of Sneem, the knot in the Ring of Kerry. (One of the main roads into it is the R568.) I'd learned about it last week, looking in that area for a title somewhat related to 567. While I was attracted by the name, it looks like a great place to visit--there's an unusual looking set of falls, and a dramatic art installation of pyramids. (Sadly, I wasn't able to use "Pyramids of Sneem" as a title: Jimmy MacCarthy already nailed down "The Pyramids at Sneem," with...a more melancholy vibe.) Sneem.

i really apologize the mix of this is just terrible especially near the end. title is just a tongue in cheek take on "Wind Waker" which I have been playing instead of properly mixing my track apparently. though now that I think about the deeper connection, it is kindof a cool idea that you have a flute or instrument that allows for the control of occult forces. What is music if not an occult force? wish I had a nice little crown of goths in their sunday bests all tripping out to this in a grimy little sub basement afterhours jam. trans skeleton lighting. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Another weird box of random. The main motif (intro riff) has been sitting in the idea vault for a few years and it was the first one I came across tonight when looking to start a song, so here we are. I'm not really sure what I was going for with this. It started as a chill instrumental background music style thing but then I got some ideas and it somehow landed where it is now.

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 17:47:55 GMT

early upload again, maybe second time this year. 😬 skies are being moody, thus the title. back to the roots, op-1 only! possibly inspired by TE releasing a sort of follow-up to it that also does op-z things†? possibly. but also sometimes playing around just yields fun things. there are even drums? and the usual meandering with a healthy disregard for scales and timing. † which is unfortunately quite interesting because i really got along with the op-z workflow, but i do miss a screen on that. and the sound engines + additional mixing/arranging/... stuff is interesting. shall sit on that for a bit and think a bit about what i want regarding my setup. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 46 - SQF - omegakron W46

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 17:47:13 GMT

Alllllright everybody, week 46 is here, 52 will be here before we know it I worked on a song all week and it just wasn't coming together so threw it on the back burner and started a new project last night. Recent m8 software updates have added project based time tracking. It usually takes me 5 hours to complete a song. This includes building, listening etc. My mastering process is pretty simplified now so I can final master a song in garageband in about 10 minutes. I finished this one in just over 2 hours and I'm super pleased with the results. Not that time spent making a song determines the outcome. But in the business of cranking shit out every week its nice to know when push comes to shove I can make it happen in a relatively short timeframe. I think this builds and releases nicely along the way with some nice melodies tastefully repeated with some variations. Enjoy! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Had periodontal surgery this week, liquid diet for 24 hours, then only 'soft foods' for two weeks, so I'm having lots of protein shakes, yogurt, applesauce, and mashed potatoes, alongside pain meds and antibiotics. Fun times. Most of this came together in a marathon 6-hour stretch early Saturday morning, felt like it needed something more, then Sunday morning came up with the guitar bits and rearranged it a tad, this is kind of a dronelike base, a bit ominous sounding at times... 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 16:40:46 GMT

This song is in 6/4 and I found throughout the process that I kept hearing and writing parts in 4/4 to accompany the original beat. There were three separate occasions where I was listening to loops and wondering why they didn't line up, only to realize that I that varying loop lengths. I also composed this track on a very condensed timeline. The bulk of the work happened Friday night and Saturday morning - more of a Weekend Beat this week. I am pretty happy with how it turned out, so this has been another lesson on the importance of just sitting down to do the work. Otherwise, I would have just given up on Thursday thinking I hadn't made enough progress to finish a track by the Sunday deadline. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 46 - Paisleyfrog - A Self-Made Lucifer

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 16:18:45 GMT

Making this one felt good. The basis of this one is my fifth try at an angry song from last week. The song started with the bassline, my waterfall noise instrument, and two Drummers. Started with an acoustic kit, and put a glitch filter on it. I then copied that same pattern to a 909 type kit. Gives a good thump with a lot of bonus random noise, but stays rhythmic. It really clicked this week when I put guitars on, and it started to go full NIN - so yeah, I embraced that. Built the track into something listenable LEGO-style by clipping and repeating sections and tracks as necessary. I had no idea what the song was going to be about, though. At the end of October, I was playing with a lot of samples I had found and used in other songs back in 2013 (see also: Barbara) ...but couldn't get past the context in which I had originally used these. I thought that they might be fun to use in this track so I threw one on - and that sample of Peter Lorre jumped up and said "I'M YOUR BOI". Title figured and lyric direction determined. Lyrics wrote themselves pretty quickly after that. Didn't have to think too hard to come up with lines about self-made Lucifers.... I haven’t done a deeply textured song in a few weeks - two tracks last week, some 30+ tracks this week. It was fun putting on and peeling off layers to make things have the best impact. Tried some different stuff - verse 2 uses a tuba :) Samples are public domain from an episode of "Checkmate", 1961. https://archive.org/details/CheckmateTheHumanTouch1961 › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Grasping and clutching your riches Climbed up a ladder of lies I can see where you came from I see through your disguise How many did you fuck over How many did you abuse Narcissistic compulsion The only winner is you You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer The evil is you Nothing will sate your hunger Nothing satisfies greed Adoration, complication, speculation Tries to fill up the need What is your destination What do you do it all for Subjugation of nations Don’t know what else is in store You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer You’re a self made Lucifer The evil is you 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 16:01:08 GMT

Again, bit of a weird one, it was quite exhausting to try to turn this into something that feels like it would work. I am not super happy about the weird pattern lengths which I was hoping made the thing more interesting. Mid session I changed the drums from a more trap/dubstep halftime affair to these uptempo garage beats (that's also when the bass changed completely) and I still think the track is missing some additional elements, but I'm done with this one for now. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

I used to go to Vietnam quite a lot for work. It's quite a fantastic country, especially considering their very harsh history. If you have never had the chance to try Vietnamese coffee, I highly recommend it. During one of my early trips, I had a breakfast at an hotel in Ho chi minh city. One of these very nice buffets with lots of foods and delicious fruits. And coffee! This beautiful coffee with spicy aromas, which really tastes like a mix of cocoa and coffee. Very smooth and so nice to drink. I must have drunk about 2 liters of that coffee in the morning. I then went to the office, and of course in Vietnam coffee is also a social activity, so I went for another coffee with a colleague in a local cafe. Back in the office, I could not help notice that my hands were animated of a life of their own. I was super jittery. And then my system completely shut down and I had to go to the hospital. The hospital staff were wonderful and informed me that while Vietnamese coffee is very easy to drink, it can also be as strong as an expresso. I did manage to overdose on coffee. Which is pretty embarassing and lead to a lot of jokes of course from my Vietnamese colleagues. It has not stopped me from drinking their coffee though. This track is maybe about this experience. The title means "a hot coffee please". I kinda like this track but I feel I let it down as it's only about 60% done. The transitions are rough, it misses some top melody and some main appeal. It's like the demo of a demo. I should revisit it one of these days. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 17 Nov 2024 12:34:02 GMT

In the spirit of finished is better than perfect may I present: the Return of the English Lady. In week 3 I submitted a track which used a sample from the Numbers Station dubbed "The English Lady" and this weeks I thought I'd remake it by building this weeks around the samples I used at the beginning of the year, largely untouched. The initial idea was to build instruments using only samples of CB and HAM radio noises, which for the most part this track is with the exception of the wibbly, wobbly drone - that was done in MLANDA2 where mangled a rather lovely Snakes of Russia instrument. Time, time, it's always time. OK, time and Dark Souls 3. Kindled in Ableton by the ashen one. (fucking nerd) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Not much to say about the track itself... pretty simple little piece. Basically it's an exploration of a chord progression that I lifted from a Duran Duran song (gold star to anyone who can name the track). Hope everyone is doing well (or well enough), and I appreciate the comments from last week... I will get back around to responding and commenting on folks music once I dig myself out of the "new guy" hole (fingers crossed it will be next week, Thanksgiving can't come soon enough) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I have covid. still got something done though. Manis Iteritas being modulated by gates triggered from grids.

Lately I've been working on creating "fake content" for the "space radio" of my small space trading game. It's filled with my ambient tracks etc, and some weird random "fake podcasts" about life in the year 2624. In one of those, there's a commercial break. And I created a short jingle as the radio advertisement of a "futuristic" bevarage. This is that clip. I know it's short, but I poured my love into it. Music created on Digitakt, voiceover is ChatGPT, with some fx processing later. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I may revisit this one in the future, so any critical feedback is appreciated! I don't remember where/why I chose KIRLI when I picked the name earlier this week, but its an Esperanto word that means "swirl." The image is the SC24 logo, spun two directions.

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 23:31:34 GMT

Another stab at the techmo machine in vcv rack. I was starting to feel pretty confident in the thing when I realized I've crossed an insane boundary for modules. This track actively uses > 200, and that's after simplifying and using multipurpose modules wherever possible. Not sure how I'm going to approach that moving forward, but still pretty happy with the tune. I'm generating a sequence, quantizing it to a scale and root note, and then using that to generate chords... which I use to generate the arp... et cetera. So when performing it, I can change the number of steps in the sequence, regenerate it, et cetera and it just continues to go. I've also got performance control over the probability of the atonal... weirdnesses. I've got multiple layers of weird sounds that come in and out on their own. It's very weird but eh, I like it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 46 - Minnamari - The Precise Cuts of Persian Poets

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:30:29 GMT

This instrumental song is based on a melody I wrote on the piano a few years back, that I named "Song for Persian Poets" because it was inspired by a book of Persian poetry that my Persian friend gave me. (The book was "Faces of Love", with poetry by Hafez and other poets of Shiraz). I wanted to add some more layers to the simple piano melody and make it more dynamic and airy, but I'm still not sure if it's all the way there. It's a tricky balancing act trying to make something both layered/dynamic and airy. I left the rhythm "mechanical" the way the software automatically makes it, as a tribute to my Persian friend who is very proper and precise. And as a tribute to the poetry, that cuts straight through, but also has the feel of sparkling magical dust sprinkled over it..can you hear it? P.S. This week I've released"Aave Meduusa", an album that collects some of the Finnish songs I've published here on WeeklyBeats. If you want, you can grab it for free using one of the codes below (just write what code you used in the comments).

Week 46 - perman00b - Something something "tune"

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 16:09:19 GMT

Is there a name for fake chiptune? Fauxtune? Cheattune? I'm continuing my love affair with my dumb Hydrasynth noise patch and decided to see what the T-8 would sound like when run through the Red Panda Bitmap. I like the result of the two together. I also can't stop throwing this 1010 Tangerine piano sample in everything. So here we are. A fun little crunchy drum loop turned into cheesy lounge chiptune. Fauxtune. Whatever. I don't have a GBA, get off my back. You're...welcome? I'm sorry? Pick one, I understand both perspectives.

Week 46 - jegasus - Usurper

Thu, 14 Nov 2024 06:48:41 GMT

Hello there, folks! I'm uploading this one a bit early because I just happened to finish it mid week. First of all, apologies for not commenting on almost any of y'all's songs this past round. Work, life, yadda yadda... You know the drill, you've been through it yourself a couple of times at least, I'm sure. As a heads up, you'll want to turn the volume down for this one. It opens pretty loud and harsh. My apologies, I didn't notice until it was too late =/ Anyways, this week I ended up making another simple little chiptune marching song. However, I feel like this one has a special bite to it. The image I get with this song is of an evil, ruthless, power hungry character's inevitable rise to power as they usurp the throne of a vast and mighty empire. When the song is in full swing (around 1:00), I can SEE this character's coronation ceremony, an obviously evil grin appearing on their face as some official swears them in, the full pomp of the empire doing it's ritualistic song and dance and it's impossibly strong military becoming ready to bend to its new ruler's every whim. Meanwhile, the empire's bureaucrats and high court members simply smile and clap, all of them sycophantic ghouls who are more worried about potentially losing their post instead of the negative consequences of this power grab on the well being of the empire and its people. By the way, I swear I did not mean to make this song as a political statement about the recent USA elections! I know it sounds like I'm joking, but I'm dead serious! Even though the image I explain above sounds like a hyperbolic fantasy-setting caricature of our recent real world events, I never actually intended to do so. I think the more march-y vibes started coming through, and I found a few combinations of sounds that felt particularly militaristic, ruthless and just plain evil. This is when the whole "coronation of an evil, power hungry usurper" image came to me: AFTER I had finished the song! Anyways, I wasn't really sure how to progress the song beyond that main loop, so I just slowly faded out after a couple of repetitions. I just couldn't bring myself to fiddle with it because I just REALLY liked how it sounded and didn't want to add new sections or change anything. This song was fully made on the M8 using nothing other than it's WAVSYNTH engine and only five tracks! The M8 tells me I spent about 1h30min making this one. Also, thank you so much for all of your kind comments on my last submission. Y'all seriously rock my socks. Super looking forward to listening to what y'all have been up to!!!! Cheers!!!!

Where are all the superheroes now? Can anybody save us from ourselves? Seems like the world would rather drown (Is anyone going to say) I will flow like the river Coming down from the mountain I will try to deliver Cause I know you're all counting on me Flow like the river Coming down from the mountain Though I may shake and shiver I'll shoot up like a fountain And with the fury of the righteous few Come crashing down like a flash flood To cleanse the world of its hate and fear And cure the sickness in our blood I will flow like the river On this crisp autumn morning Overwhelm your defenses Like the hornets a-swarming Yes I'll flow like the river On this glorious morning All your levies will crumble This is a flash flood warning 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 45 - horatiuromantic - Candlewax Sky

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:59:34 GMT

A super soft piece I made quickly. There's a lot of agitation and I think we can all use a little calm. It travels down through some nice harmonies and then comes back up again one way, then travels down through the same harmonies and comes back up another way, until finally settling on a place with just enough back and forth to feel still but still in motion. Added exaggerated tape effects and chorus to make a stable note feel less stable. In other news, tonight I played at an open mic as an avatar of Mr. Woofmantic, who is appearing in a game launching tomorrow! The game is called The Zium Exposition and you can find it here if you wanna check it out! https://theziumsociety.itch.io/the-zium-exposition It's a game / virtual museum that's a collaboration of many artists and me and my friend Nomi are one of the ones submitting a piece. Our piece is the Dog Castle that features a concert by Mr Woofmantic blocking the way to the castle in the game. If you have time, I hope you will try the game and enjoy everyone's wonderful pieces, and maybe later check my video from the open mic once I put it up and share it here :D Have a lovely week! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 45 - laguna - Tarde

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:58:47 GMT

"Tarde" means late, because I'm late for the submission and it's always late when I'm doing my stuff and it's sunday afternoon, and in spanish the late afternoon and the evening are all both called "tarde"... and many Sunday afternoons are quite melancholic for me. Enough with the spanish lessons... this needs a better structure, but I think sounds half decent for my puny efforts into drum and bass. I almost lost the slot because I was rearranging the structure. I think an horizontal arrangement is sometimes better for finishing details, yet there's nothing like making breaks with a tracker :) Renoise project with a lot of native Linux plugins: Airwindows and many instances of Audio Assault AA-551 Channel Strip. Some Audio Assault EchoVibes and EchoVerb on the sends and some Audiority Plexitape Echoplex emulation (windows native) running through yabridge. The pad comes from NilsK1n excellent emulation of the suckiest and overpriced module out there: the Kawai K1. I know it has their fans, but I never enjoyed it, so really happy just emulating the thing. For the cosmic "Wavestation"-esque thing ... Green Oak Crystal VST synth resampled... I think the preset is called "Swirl" or something like that. 8 channels of samples, 3 channels of fx sends. Mono classic breaks. I hope to expand the description further if there's any interest. Take care, WB family. I should be sleeping, not being here, so "tarde" :) 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:51:13 GMT

The good news is I got my Philharmonic back (after I lost it and some other VSTs). The bad news is I still haven't taken the time to really learn my way around it and to dive deep into it. For now, I'm just doing some little experimental noodles, like I did last week. Once again, I used piano, strings, and horns to try and create an atmosphere. This one is another start to something bigger yet to be developed. The idea is to start simple and build with layers. I only had two hours to throw this one together before Mosaic uploaded his and is headed over now for dinner. So, a few quick mastering adjustments, a run-through on the YouLean sound meter to check my LUFS, and off I go to sear some steaks and uncork a nice red.

Week 45 - Devieus - Fading Power

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:50:10 GMT

As foretold last week, my birthday was this week. So here's something special. This is a remix, as it were, of Huabun's Fading Light, and you should listen to it twice. Once right now, and once again right after listening to this. First thing I did was increase the tempo. 6 minutes is an impressive feat, but I felt it was better at 150% tempo. At least for what I wanted to do to it. Unfortunately, I'm still sick, and as such, not all I wanted to do to it could be done. No drums and the guitars are rushed a bit. It's still something I can appreciate though. I can always go back and fix it. Maybe not this year, but in the future. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:47:09 GMT

Another Reason track this week with vocals. The song went through a few iterations, starting out just as an instrumental, then I put some vocals over it. I then took the vocal ideas I liked most and rearranged the structure to work around them. I then mostly rewrote the lyrics as I had better idea of what I wanted them to be about. I wanted to build up the energy and tension and release more across the song, as I feel it stays the same too much throughout, but I ran out of time so I'll try on next week's track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - Tomatron.Jones - To Rewind Time

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:45:12 GMT

This is a slow, pensive, ambient track that is inspired largely by the Max Cooper Remix of Christian Loffler's Haul, a 7 minute long slow build up into a huge climax. I used the melody from my 'Playground Sketch' from week 25 which has been stuck in my head since. The synths and bass were recorded backwards with some reverb, creating this sort of ghostly 'pre-verb' fade into the notes. The theme that inspired this is reflected in that approach - having lost a close friend recently due to my own faults, I've been listening to Haul, on pensive walks, and wishing to go back, that I could rewind time. * Synths and bass from Ableton Wavetable, Bass, and Helm VST * Valhalla, Transit plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total time: 3.5 hours 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 45 - mukti - PRETA

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:37:34 GMT

This week I went for a bit of a dark and somewhat ambient track, similar to ETOSO or KOSMA. After hearing MRDRCAT's track from last week (America Is Determined (For War)) I got the idea to sample some old Library of Congress public domain materials, and clipped the fairly well known Duck and Cover film. I also threw in some distorted vocal samples and klaxon/siren sounds to continue the general theme. I ended up playing with this one a bit too long, and pushed it fairly close (for me) to the deadline. Its not my favorite track, but I think it works. As always, I appreciate any feedback!

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:36:00 GMT

Switched things up this week, all sounds (minus a kick, snare, and hat) were synthesized using the Digitone (the kick punch was the digitone and a few hats as well). Brought back the NE stereo filter and Arbhar. › Show Spoiler‹ Hide SpoilerI was really rushed at the end once again on the mixing and arranging (I had so many patches that not all made it in the final arrangement. I was on the struggle bus for the mix with the levels for sure, but its complete for another week. The vocals were a last minute add and definitely seem rushed after listening to the final upload We are in the final stretch through the Holiday, I hope everyone stays healthy as we approach the New Year.

Week 45 - Snyderman - Drill Type Beat (OPL3)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:32:40 GMT

Heard a cool drum pattern by Sam Groveman of @grovemandrums and got inspired to explore a more 'drill beat'. I don't know how successful I was but I will say this week stretched me a lot and forced me to think about percussion in different ways. I spent a good amount of time yesterday preparing the session in Furnace [Right tempo, double spaced notes, importing lots of sounds from previous projects and creating new ones] and then going for it with idea creation. The composition isn't my usual approach but I really enjoyed it and I learned a few slick tricks in the process. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 45 - PieBaron - Toroids

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:24:17 GMT

My computer kept bluescreening, so I didnt get as far as I'd like, I uploaded a version I wasnt too happy with. I really wanted to keep jamming since I had a pretty expressive setup with the nano kontrol on this one. With the right kind of drums I think it could become a pretty nice patch. -- later that night I decided to load it back up and play around, I the bluescreens seemed to be because I had set my thread count too high, set it back down to 1 and it ran stable, so I did a new recording and took my time, no time for percussion still but I was really happy I had the time to do a new recording. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - littlebigmosaic - i don't remember those flowers being there

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 22:51:17 GMT

My goal: 90 second noodle in 90 minutes. Restricting myself to one instrument. Trying to do something more minimalist. Outcome: 120 seconds in 120 minutes The inspiration/scene: I was driving down a road I drive everyday but noticed some red flowers I had never seen before. This track is a grey November day with some swirling leaves punctuated with an unexpected burst of red roadside flowers. Yesterday, I saw some hot air balloons so I of course wanted to float up and down with my track. The sounds: Synth - kat.sep2 HuskyBell patch with FX: RC-20 (slight warble and vinyl noise), Valhalla Shimmer (reverb), soothe2 (squash harsh freqs) + audio track birdsong and rustling ambience layer Thanks for listening!

Week 45 - jegasus - Worry and Hope

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 22:47:09 GMT

Howdy, folks! I will admit that this past week was, putting it very lightly, fucking rough. When I woke up on Wednesday morning, it took me a while to digest what had just happened. It only really hit me closer to the end of the day in the midst of a few crying fits. The fact that I'm a non-citizen living in the USA might give you a clue as to why. Sadly, this country has chosen to go down a route that, while not surprising to me anymore, is still deeply depressing. I didn't intend to imbue the song with this intense energy, but I think it kind of happened anyways. Thankfully, the song came out with a fun balance of worry and hope which I think is kind of appropriate for the situation right now. I mean I'll be honest, hope is fresh out of stock at my department store, but still, I know it's something I'll need to have a lot of on hand pretty soon, hahahaha.... Please take care of yourself and your loved ones, help build community and safe spaces, and talk to people around you. Together we can get through this nonsense. We've done it before and we'll do it again. Peace, y'all. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I have decided, after some reflection and hopefully some amount of wisdom that this is rather unsustainable.

Week 45 - neon liminal - the lighthouse at the edge of the world (interlude 3)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:34:18 GMT

a lament, albeit a little bit of an intense one. With half an hour to go, I should stop indulging "oh maybe it needs some drums". Revisited a sound and a simple set of two notes here - the sound is basically a sine-wave organ modulated by noise, the notes, the root with a minor seventh. It's been an echo I've come back to a number of times over the years but rarely has it made it into a song - I think this might be the best echo yet. Take care of yourselves, dear friends. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 45 - friendlyperiscope - disassembly march

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:33:16 GMT

finally spooky, maybe! and no clue if this qualifies like a march, but it sort of feels like one. and what is being disassembled is lots of paper boxes from the renovation nonsense. (which is still ongoing.) found a sound, played these notes, that's what happened. spook happened later/throughout. headphones may be necessary to listen to this, at least my laptop speakers are not really capable of playing much of this. anyways, week 45! looking forward to the end-of-year listening party (will there be one? 🤔) and also the quiet time after this rather long march through the year. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:22:56 GMT

This is a bit of a redux of a song that I did in 2018, which was one of the hardest years of my life. I still managed to write 52 songs that year, and I'm often blown away by what I wrote that I didn't remember writing -- this was one of those songs. It's a breakbeat track that I think has an early Hybrid/UNKLE sound to it, but with a much-improved arrangement. upload 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - thgirwnhoj - 45 Weekly Beats 2024 Songbird

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 21:20:00 GMT

Like another track I submitted recently, this song starts in 7/4, breaks down in 5/4, and then drops into 7/4 to finish. I worried less about making that all fit together and just tried to compose parts that complimented each other. I started with the 7/4 part and then used some of the same notes and phrases to create the 5/4 part. I took my time at the beginning to pick a vocal sample I really liked and that made it easier to chop it up and then build around it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 45 - onezero - Emlagh Loop

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 20:45:12 GMT

This week the hollow Univox and Fahey tuning were still calling to me, so here's a track featuring even more fingerpicking. This one came together quickly in two sessions of writing (late Friday and late Saturday), though editing was a bit tricky with some sections beginning on an off-beat, requiring a continuation across the bar from the previous section. There's also a subtle key change in there, with the two keys fairly discrete, though one section from the second key needed to be augmented with a theme I recorded for the other section. It fit fine, apart from two instances of the same note, which I cut. The feeling here...is rather more peaceful and occasionally buoyant than I've been feeling this week. I think the music appeared this way to give me what I needed, instead of reflecting my state of mind. Again, no effects other than convolution reverb (bright theatre) and compression/eq effect rack on the stereo. Also once again the track title is a place name in Ireland, a walking loop that intersects the R567 a couple times. It seems like it'd be a nice walk to take. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This one started with the idea about doing some slow blues, but it kind of morphed into an indy rock blues track that is kind of fun. I feel I should go back to some older project to check again what was my signal chain for my drums (Plus do a tuning session maybe) as they don't feel as deep-powerful as some other recording I did...

Week 45 - Ashen Simian - The Walking Pace

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:58:19 GMT

We got a dog to the famiy three months ago, so I have been doing quite a bit of walking recently. Our dog Rauha (means "pecaeful" in finnish... luckily seems to live by its name) likes to walk a few kilometers three times a day, so it is actually quite a lot. I am not the one to walk it every time, but at least 1-2 times per day anyway...luckily we live on the edge of the town, so it is not just urban treks. But anyway, I sort of seem to live to a walking pace and I wanted my WB input also to reflect that. So I did a simple, mid tempo programed backing and improvised onto it in just one full take with analog synths. I decided to leave certain out-of-tune drifting in the mix and keep it spontaneous...I also added a few obligatory dog noises there too. Btw, they are not by our dog...it seems to bark very very rarely, hardly at all! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - Tone Matrix - Endure

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:57:43 GMT

Howdy frainds Watching the news Tuesday night got me in a bit of a panic and bl@rghhhh I must admit. There was a lot of sleeping this week. Or at least attempted sleep. I was a bit in the gl00m. I couldn’t get myself near the keyboard til Saturday night. I had many meetings with the fridge. We became confidants. But! But! i also listened to a lot of music. These 3 were part of my morning walks this week. They helped block out the giant trucks with angry flags that drove past. But! But! I definitely recommend checking out David Gilmour’s latest album and Wu-Lu’s EP as well. David Gilmour - Between Two Points Wu-Lu - Young Swimmer Wu-Lu - Daylight Song I did manage to find a bit of a therapeutic session from just noodling about with the piano. The backyard recording is from November 5th 9am. I pinched myself several times and instead ended up hanging out with the backyard kitties I like to hang with. Sitting at the table, petting purring kitties and listening to the rustle of the palms in the wind made it feel like a normal day. Of course the beginning of the recording had way too much landscaping weed whackin sfx and the end ironically had some sirens in the distance. Echoing my thoughts a bit through that the piano felt good. So this noodle is a mixed attempt noodle in that I took breaks in between a 4hrish sesh and smeared something onto the keys hoping for the best. There were a lot of undos and space bar smacks as well :p Thank you for reading my novellas and thank you for listening and commenting. This community has always been awesome and supportive through times like these. <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 45 - Xjs - Embrace

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:35:51 GMT

Week 1 of 3 of a trip to Indonesia, where I am attending a wedding next week. For me, who never left Europe before, this is quite the adventure so far. Many things are and feel quite different, to an extent that travel guides and reports didn't really capture. Hopefully this track does. Inspirations stem from what I have experienced this past week. I want to highlight the traditional gamelan sounds that I inspired the bell-like synth. Also, the vocoder-like sample in the middle of the track is a field recording of an Indonesian train conductor. Lyrics: Embrace the traffic Embrace the malls Embrace the lack of potable water Embrace the feverish mosquitoes Embrace the country Embrace the language Embrace the fruit Embrace the insanely low prices Embrace the tasty meals Embrace the country Embrace the nightly calls Embrace the lack of soap dishes Embrace the broken sidewalks Embrace the swaying trains Embrace the country Embrace the ocean Embrace the dishonest drivers Embrace the punctuality Embrace the fire-breathing mountains Embrace the country 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 17:52:38 GMT

Started this one with an oddly timed drum loop sample. It's got a ride cymbal hit in it that kind of towers in the mix at times, so much so that I almost abandoned it, but alas, I pressed on. It is week 45 and we can't be too sacred about our choices. I matched the drum loop with a slow lumbering bass line and some more oddly timed synth lines. Then around 1:15 I come in with some nice heavily distorted m8 hypersynth in what I'd call the prechorus. I like how the chorus came out but my favorite might be the bridge around 2:45-3:20. Hope you enjoy! Cheers to week 45! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

ALL FEEDBACK ON SONGWRITING, PERFORMANCE AND PRODUCTION IS WELCOME :) Alright a messy one to get back in the mix. I've made a deal to keep up my weekly beats until the end of the year so I'll be here, here on out. This one started a month or two ago, shelved it, and decided to finish a version for this week. Finished in a ~2 hour session Sunday evening with just vocals to do, many first takes, lyrics written on the fly, plenty of different takes stiched together in a scramble. Didn't really mix it. Pretty rough placeholder but there are some bits and ideas which I think are pretty cool. I kinda like the ending. WWW Back, baby. EBI Some more/cooler leads Better mixed More time for vocals/lyrics Backing vocals Keep coming back. See ya'll next week 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - Wilcox Raw-Cats - epiphone track

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 15:57:59 GMT

this song was mainly recorded in my bedroom, where the pianet N stands and the meazzi amp. I used two epiphones to get a kind of neil young texture in the guitarsound. I used the edrum, but did not take the recordings, just a few effected noises from it for the background. The whole song has more than 100 tracks and was 10 minutes long. I had to eleminate very much of the endless noodling to make it work. This recordlathe version is not as audiophil as the original Q-Rosh master, but in here I used the drums, I have deleted on the master. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - PeterM - SPOILER ALERT

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 15:28:53 GMT

So, for the last month or so I haven't really had much time for music making, but this week I actually managed to get some good sessions in, and I'm really feeling like I made a track I'm happy with. Of course, I'll never be completely happy and there are parts of this track that I would like to improve, but I am happy with this one as it stands right now. It's all M8 synths, with the exception of the little ambient sparkles in the background. I started with the kick and bass part which kinda set the feel for the track, as you will hear. Once I had that, I just left it playing while I messed around on my keyboard trying to find a melody that would work. And I'm pretty happy with the melody line I came up with ... it feels appropriate and I'm still liking it after hearing it a bazzillion times, so I think that is a good sign! ;) And I am really loving the new wave tables in the Wave Synth engine ... I get lost in there sometimes just messing in the waves! For the arrangement, I kept the same melody lead line throughout the song, but give it some different context/instrumentation/harmony to make it feel different in a few places. So the beginning feels kind of optimistic, like a hero's theme, but the middle feels kind of ominous (to my ears at least!), like a villain's theme, despite the melody being the same in both places. The ending returns to an optimistic feel, but the memory of the middle section makes it feel a bit more ambiguous (again, to my ears!), until the harmony part comes in, then it's nothing but heroes, haha! So that was what I was going for anyway. You be the judge! One little thing came up that I was surprised made such a difference to the song. My first take on the melody had it starting on the first beat of a M8 phrase ... just because that is how the M8 is set up to work. You make a chain, make a phrase, and start entering notes. I didn't really notice that the melody I came up with had a lead in that should start a beat and a half earlier (on the upbeat of 3, of the previous bar). I was not feeling super excited to re-work all my phrases and chains to shift everything by a beat and a half, and resisted for quite a while. But after forcing myself to fix it, it sounded soooo much better! I have some pads that are repeating the melody, and they still have the "start on beat one, straight rhythm" version ... which I totally left for variety, not because I was lazy BTW! So you can kinda hear the different feel they have. Anyway, that was a bit of a learning moment for me ... that lead in, in the previous bar, really helps keep the song flowing and engaging I find. So, I need to remember that, even though the M8 pulls me to always start on beat one. OK, what I'm pleased with: melody, instrumentation, overall feel. What needs work: transitions, more melodic variation aka "a verse", an ending instead of a fade out ... I've said it before, but I would like to ease up on the noise risers for transitions, they work, but I need something else for my peace of mind lol! Maybe that's a challenge for one of my remaining weeks: no noise risers! Have I said that already? Anyway ... Oh, and my song titles are pretty random ... but I was thinking of the race car version of spoiler here, not the plot reveal, but it's punny regardless! Anyway, I'm pleased with this one. For a high energy song, I think it hits the mark. Thanks for listening and happy week 45! Cheers! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - eleventhstage - Union

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 14:21:22 GMT

My thought for this track was to write something a bit breaks-like and wanting to use my Typhon in some way. So, I wrote the skeleton for the track without bass whilst in work and then programmed the Typhon seperately, making sure to use the Program Change abilities of the M8 which is always quick and really good. Ended up just recording a single take, tweaking the Typhon throughout. Also had an accident at the end where it kept playing one of the riffs after everything stopped but I liked the way it sounded so it stays. Anyway, Enjoy. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

When playing around with Pigments presets, I came across this lovely lush pad that instantly reminded me of Goldies "Timeless". This track is clearly inspired by Timeless, one of my all time favourite drum and bass songs. It is still a weekly beat so it lacks a lot of the finesse and the storytelling that makes Timeless so compelling, but I think it works for a tribute of sorts. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Something a bit more pleasant this week. My brother surprised me by taking me to see Heilung earlier in the week and I assumed that performance/ritual would have informed this weeks track. But I seemed to take a left turn somewhere along the way and simply left the planet. When I realised I was droning in space I tried to tip my hat to Jerry Goldsmith's score for Alien by adding a little flute...which become the glitchy sound...so you can guess how well that worked out. If Heilung pass through your town it really is worth going to see them. Made in Ableton 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Everything seems pretty bleak out there, mentally and physically, but sometimes that is best used to make something new. This started as a little loop of off the shelf drums chopped up and with reversed piano that was out of time due to bluetooth headphone delay. The rest kinda built from there. the headphone mix was loud and blown out, but I kinda liked it so tried not to touch it too much despite things getting pretty messy at the end.

Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty drained. The days just seem to blur together, each one a repeat of the last, packed with endless tasks and responsibilities. It’s like I’m running a marathon, and my legs are about to give out. But even with all this exhaustion, there’s a bit of hope on the horizon—the finish line is in sight. Spending time with my wife has been a real lifesaver. Her support and understanding mean everything to me, especially when I’m feeling overwhelmed. We find little moments of joy and relaxation together, reminding me that there’s more to life than just pushing through the fatigue. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 09:32:02 GMT

Well, made it through my fist week at the new job... and I found I had very little energy for writing... so I have another ambient soundscape for this week. It's always nice to just get lost layering sounds up for these, and I definitely needed the "zone out". As is often the case with these, I don't really know where I was going with it or where it came from, I just started with a Pharlight granular patch, and just kept adding layers until I was getting too lost in listening to add anything new. Loads of processing on pretty much everything in here... but I think the one sound that I'm most pleased with is that "bell" like tone. That's actually the CS-80 V again... because I kind of want that synth on everything still. At any rate, almost there y'all... almost there. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This week brought back many memories of my childhood, all sounds used this week were sampled from my Dad's records from the 60's and 70's from India that he would play when I was a kid. I didn't want to use any tabla's or dhol's so had to really search for some kick, snare and hihats to find in the records. Time consuming to find the samples and then try and clean them up and fit together, but amazing how some of the songs I probably haven't heard in 40 years but they immediately brought back memories. Hope everyone has a great week, kids are on fall break this week so heading to the mountains. Special time of year, base of the mountain will go mountain biking, then head further up the mountain to go snowboarding the next day. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - miraclemiles - what you can control

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 05:05:22 GMT

So ... yeah. Like many others in the united states and beyond, my attention was on the election this week. It did not go the way I had hoped. All the emotions cycled: shock, frustration, anger, sadness. Then moving into acceptance. Here we are (again), and this is the reality we have to deal with. Checking in with co-workers the day after the election, and I appreciated what a colleague said: "I'm doing ok, focussing on what I can control." I think that's a good way to go. I too am focussing on what I can control. I am grateful for what I have and for the good people around me. But I acknowledge I am more fortunate than some, and that this is a more stressful and scary time for many who fear they won't be ok in the years to come. There is cause to worry. There is also hopefully opportunity to take action, to try and influence what we can, and to focus on what we can control in our own lives and communities. For this weeks song: Created quickly since I am visiting family on the very wet Western side of Washington state. I found bits and pieces I had recorded previously and put them together. There are dual drum patterns that conflict but also sync at times, which kind of capture how I feel. Took a long walk in the rain looking at dense rainy forest around me. Recorded a few words into my phone and put them in. Seeing family this week was a blessing. We are all feeling grateful for each other. Hope all of you in this community are doing ok. Thank you for making your music and sharing it. That is something powerful and important. Please keep creating! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

This one was a spot of fun. All drums in this were performed by a Singular Sound Beatbuddy. All synths are the Jupiter 8 plugin from Arturia. The first thing laid down was the drums. I sat there, stomping away changing fills and parts in what I thought might be a song structure. Turned out alright. The rest was layered around it. Basic philosophy: One drum machine, one synth. Not perfect by any stretch (looking at you kick drum) but it was certainly enjoyable. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Talked through set improvement points, staging, resources, and rig modifications. Worked on visual direction and labor splitting. Talked about queer coding in Road House (1989) and 80's film. Also 808 state, Underworld, Sophie, Paranoid London, and Wierdcore. Met with friends at D and J's house for hotpot. Played with the kids and held new borns. Surprise cake to celebrate legal wedding. Wife picked up World of Wong Kar Wai Criterion collection and we made it to Season 4 of DS9. Went to first venu tour and talked to cattering services. She felt sick all week. Slept on the couch to avoid catching it. Election cycle played out. Monitored from a distance. Tried avoiding hearing more then needed for mental health. Got high and watched comedy movie from childhood with AL. Local went well (NIMBY with substance abuse issues and poor political ties pushed out), state not good, federal... as expected (frustratingly). Consumed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,18, 19, 20, Animal Farm by George Orwell, Allegory of the cave (listened to revisit with AL), Star Trek Deep Space 9, As Teas Go By (1988), Galaxy Quest (1999) Sophie - Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides - Product, New Order - Technique - Substance, The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld - U.F.ORB - Pomme Fritz, Andy Stott - Luxury Problems, [Cerebral Morph] Gear Used: Boss DD-20 Fender 2003-ish MIM Stratocaster Tascam DR-40 [Mail] Gear Used: Boss DD-60 Roland S-1 Dirtywave M8 Tascam DR-40 Iphone Software Used: Ableton Izotope Ozone 10 While watching TV, I was looking through pedal box. Decided to experiment with the DD-20 like when I first started making music. Second pedal I owned with the first being my DD-6. Would loop and space guitar, mics, and toy keyboards. Early intro to ambient and later electronic music creation. Back then I tried to use my guitar in some less than traditional ways (lots of volume knob tweaking). Had a similar session of careful layering with just the DD-20 and guitar recorded directly to recorder in stereo. Originally almost 10 minutes long. Trimmed in Ableton and added a few growing effects. Mail was an extra track created for last week. Edited previous week to include more details. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 45 - Paisleyfrog - This is Who We Are (Too Many People)

Sat, 09 Nov 2024 03:17:25 GMT

It's been a hard week, as I'm sure it has been for a lot of us here in the US. But at least I got some dream music out of it. It’s been years since that’s happened. Storytime. I wanted to make an angry song this week, but it just wasn't in me. I took five runs at it Thursday night, but it just wasn't sticking. I realized I wasn't angry, so much as disappointed. Not in an outcome per se, but in people. I wanted to say that we're better than this as a nation, but apparently we're not. This is who we are. Thursday night I had a rather vivid dream. I was standing on a sidewalk, and I saw a music store across the street. It had one of those small recording booths in the back. And then I saw the Beatles walk in. (Ringo was wearing a particularly spectacular ermine coat, the kind that had the tails still on it. But I digress.) I follow them into the store. The Fab Four have already gone into the booth, but apparently didn't have the money to pay for it. I give the manager $40 so they can start recording, and he makes a pinwheel out of it. I hear them start to record. They're playing Norwegian Wood, but the manager doesn't recognize it. I go into the booth, and the song changed into something I didn't recognize. I paid particular attention while John vocalized the melody. I couldn't hear the words, but I knew it was called Too Many People. I woke up humming it. Went into my own studio that morning to record a quick scratch so I wouldn’t forget it. Picked up the guitar and just knew the right chords. Maybe because I was watching John in my dream. Anyway, that’s the verse of the song. I didn’t necessarily know what it was about, but it started to take shape when I added a refrain of what I said before…this is who we are. Lyrics came in a rush later on the same day in two ten minute sessions - first half and then the second half. Figured out the bridge while writing lyrics. Recorded Friday night. Another minimal recording track this week, done in two passes. Took a bit to find the right guitar sound - settled on the 12 string, and then did vocals. I feel like I need to apologize for not having a fighting song, an angry song. I guess I’m processing some feels. The fight and the anger will absolutely come back - but I got no answers today. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Too many people Ignore their relations Take out their frustrations On those who are not Too many people Ignore obligation Fixate on inflation Attention is bought This is who we are This is who we are Too many people Forget about kindness Emotional blindness No empathy Too many people Forget how we got here Just crack a tall cold beer There’s nothing to see This is who we are This is who we are This is who we are This is who we are Bridge We can make an appeal To our better angels But the angels have all flown away ‘Cause we traded our love For a push and a shove, tell me How did we all lose our way?! Got no answers today Too many people Want cold retribution It’s not a solution It’s no guarantee. Too many people Want full fledged aggression Will make no concession It’s no way to be But this is who we are This is who we are This is who we are This is who we are 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 45 - Minnamari - Special

Thu, 07 Nov 2024 22:35:25 GMT

This song is a bit of a spontaneous experiment. I wanted to make a song, but can't find the energy to do anything too elaborate this week, so I tried a new approach. I just opened my old notebook where I used to collect quotes in my twenties, and thought I'd see what happened if I would add melody to one of the quotes. Maybe I could make at least some kind of a song. This was the quote I had written on the very first page, it is by the writer Chuck Palahniuk: "We are not special. We are not crap or trash either. We just are. And what happens, just happens." So I added some melody to those words (and couldn't help adding one more line of lyrics to the end). And that's my song for this week. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

My wonderful friend Billy introduced me to Sand Rubies that are found in the Sabino Canyon area of Tucson.

I’ve been around the world and know this is a special place. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Verse With my active mind and imagination Could I go beyond the expectations A girl with such a humble start Answer the call of my yearning heart Chorus My dreams were like the Arizona islands in the sky Above the heat a common girl could fly As time weathers the peaks into sand Their sand rubies sparkle in my hands Verse A small and simple girl trying to walk so tall Twists and turns to dead end walls From lush green valleys to the highest peaks Finding the view and vision that I seek Chorus My dreams were like the Arizona islands in the sky Above the heat a common girl could fly As time weathers the peaks into sand Their sand rubies sparkle in my hands Verse I’ve been clothed in rags and worn the crown Seen the world and trod its sacred ground Raised my voice in joyful sound Living satisfied on the love I’ve found Chorus My dreams were like the Arizona islands in the sky Above the heat a common girl could fly As time weathers the peaks into sand Their sand rubies sparkle in my hands Their sand rubies sparkle in my hands 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 44 - laguna - DAT Junkies

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:59:01 GMT

Back by popular demand! (just kidding). Thanks a lot for all the comments and feedback. I will be catching up soon. Life's been really really busy and I should not be doing music today, though I couldn't stand another minute without making beats. I put last week's ambient / Berlin School samples under a slow motion 82 bpm treatment and a lot of glitch. I initially planned to take the remix to familiar territory under Ableton Live, but everything was finally made with Renoise under Linux. All mentioned plugins in the tag are Windows 10 64 bit confortably running under yabridge without a hiccup. I'm usually quite obsessive when it comes to slicing and dicing, so this approach feel quite "wild" to me, meaning the chops are quite sloppy. Well, not so, but they're could be mathematically perfect if I took the synths and replay everything under MIDI instead of cutting the stem with scissors. Anyway, I think the result is somewhat noisy and quite messy, but somewhat more spontaneous. Main drums are from one of my old kits, made with the Nintendo DS1 groovebox and a monophonic tape recorder. The samples are noisy as f***, though I kinda like them. Reinforcement beats are classic tape driven Roland 606 beats. Sorry if I'm missing some details. I really should be going to bed. Arrangement is sketchy and needs a lot of improvement and embelishments, though I materialize the main idea nearly 20 minutes before the deadline!

Something smooth and warm to put on for the long cool nights. Editing this today I feel warmer than the frigid, dank day I'm looking out at. Ready for a warm drink and little fire side dancing. So. Very happy that we did it again! Another one featuring my son sounding smooth on the tenor sax. Just barely fit in a little improvisation session this weekend between him waking up and leaving for the day to go be a teenager. Got a head start thanks to some tasty keys and a horn riff from a recent jam with Monstrosus. I put down some bass and rhythms to play along with for about an hour while I joined on more percussion, more bass played on the Push and more drumming. We even got my wife involved in recording video. Barely enough space for the three of us in my little office/studio, but we had fun. Sitting down to improvise and make music together is a great experience for us both, very grateful we did it again, and I'm confident we'll do more! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 44 - horatiuromantic - I won't be home for Xmas

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:56:04 GMT

A beautiful but sad early Xmas ballad for you all! I wrote it today and performed it for the first time at the open mic at CPH Listening Room, on the amazing grand piano they have there, but the video and recording will be sent to me the next few days (and I might put it on youtube cause it was a good version) so I recorded a version for WB after coming back home. Here is the live version AND this version with lyrics and visuals! I have been reading a lot of scifi the past week. I read all 3 Three body problem books, plus another of short stories by the same Liu Cixin, then The Dispossessed by Ursula K Le Guin, and started on some book by Arthur C Clarke. I am sure those are the heaviest influences for this song. Besides that I also played a bit of Rimworld, a scifi-ish survival game set on an ice world where temperatures reach -80C outside, and the only way to survive the cold is to build a house around a geothermal vent which spits out steam every few seconds. Meanwhile I've been sick the past three weeks with some kind of cough bug, and forced to stay inside to prevent it from spreading, so I almost felt like I was on a small world entirely comprised of my apartment, the hallway, the driveway, and Lidl. Ok that's unfair, I also went to the park, and I'm lucky to have such a nice park near my house. Anyway I am back to health today, which is why I went to the open mic, and it was a lovely way to get back on the scene! I hope you enjoy the song! Later I made a studio-only video version: › Lyrics‹ Lyrics I won't be home for Xmas It's just not possible this year I'm already traveling At 10 percent of light speed And I'm already aging Much slower from your point of view By the time I would return I'd be your junior by about 10 years 10 Xmases apart It would add up to a lot of presents I won't be home for Xmas Don't think I'll ever come again The place I'm going Doesn't have a yearly cycle It's just a perpetual twilight On the bridge I have a picture It's all of us in front of a tree I won't touch another for the rest of my life All I have is moss and algae I won't be home for Xmas Not in my old physical form You know me as a human being But I will be so much more It's a strange world Strange without the math Try to let go of the things you never had Accept that we're going at relativistic speeds We're incompatible in the most fundamental ways *piano solo* I won't be home for Xmas It's not the same thing anymore I'm already traveling At 10 percent of light speed I've already spent my best years back home Look for me in the stars › Bonus spoiler‹ Bonus spoilerI will in fact be home for Xmas this year btw, that is home in Romania. And hopefully I will play some concerts while I'm there!

Week 44 - Bunjigram - November

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:53:36 GMT

Here's a little noodle with piano, strings, and horns. Somehow, I lost my Philharmonic Orchestra along with some other VSTs when I was using Clean My Mac the other day, so I had to use some Ableton strings and horns from BBC. Piano is from Arturia V.3 patches. As usual, I ran out of time and will likely go back and expand on this and do more refinement. But this is a good start I think to whatever this turns into. Since this is my first track this month, I'm calling it "November" until I can do it justice and see where it goes.

Week 44 - Cursory - Imagine That Eden

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:51:09 GMT

Imagine That Eden Happy Week 44! I had three ideas for tracks sitting around I spent much of the week trying to write, figuring one of them would be this week’s submission. Anyway those are all in exactly the same state they were before and here’s a new one >.> Still often feeling “brick-walled” by tracks that have an A-section written and nowhere to go. I’d expect it gets harder the more times I’ve played/heard the same 30 seconds of music on repeat. This particular one wasn’t all that exciting to me until I started adding layers, I like the arrangement more than the composition itself. In retrospect, I might have liked a bit more “payoff” than what happens near the end, maybe just lengthening that section a bit. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics You would knock on all the doors so you could warn A vicious cycle, words received as bile As you grasp for any reason, imagine that eden You designed a duty, believed this was needed You could walk away Never studied eyes so sure that they saw it true Though I’d follow a spotlight, first scan the darkened room Tunnel vision, receding, imagine that eden You designed a duty, believed this was needed Though I’d long for answers too It was never about knowing › Musical Influences‹ Musical Influences I find it helpful to try to identify what music may have usually subconsciously) influenced a certain track, in part to be sure I’m not just blatantly ripping something off on accident. Influences that are apparent to me: Featherweight and The Shrine by Fleet Foxes (probably these two the most), Living Room by Andy Shauf, Cut-Out by Grizzly Bear… But if you happen to enjoy this song, you’ll probably like those ones more haha. › Words Blurb‹ Words Blurb Whether or not I write anything about the lyrics is really track/mood dependent, but I haven’t done one in a while. I’m never quite sure how vague I’ve made things to someone hearing this for the first time, as once you know what words are about it tends to remain obvious what they’re about. Sometimes I think lyrics flow better the less you know about them, as I think these ones are fairly “on the nose” knowing the context. Anyway… A few weeks ago, I made the out-of-character choice to talk to one of those people protesting outside of a Planned Parenthood (nonprofit that provides sexual health care, not sure if they have these outside US). They were Catholic, protesting against abortions for the Catholic reasons you’ve probably heard about. I was struck by how certain they were of the moral ground they stood on and their sense of obligation to inform others. This is not well-received for obvious reasons. This had me thinking about what happens when faith becomes certainty. As a non-religious person, it’s easy for me to say from the outside that any belief/faith should by definition not be a certainty. Others will obviously have completely different worldviews that are no less valid. We have some pretty good evidence about the woes of enforcing religion upon others, separation of church and state and all that.

Another underscore and probably the best mix of the four 🤔 Whole thing was initially revolving around this single bass synth playing one note, with all the variation coming from percussion and those other arps, but I had to introduce some harmonic changes after all. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 44 - BTS - Fluid Disrupter

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:13:59 GMT

Digging again into my old sample CDs and I've found a decent amount of older Drum & Bass type of kits. After finding some samples that would work together and went into Renoise to build a track. After working through some ideas, I came up with a pattern set that worked as a base that I could build off of. After creating the arrangement, I went and added some variations and then worked on the effects. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 44 - MRDRCAT - America Is Determined (For War)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:08:47 GMT

I try to keep my politics to myself but I hit a wall this week after digging into some history. Some things never change. Vocal chops are all from a public domain Coast Guard propaganda newsreel called "Carry the Fight". One of the quirks of how I'm wired is that I tend to remember & internalise things that affect me deeply, like when, at age 9, an amazing schoolteacher spent a 30-minute class period explaining to a bunch of kids how advertising works, why it's effective, and how to look out for it. Ever since then I ask myself: "Who is the audience and in what direction are they getting steered?" There's a LOT of propaganda in the US, much of it as blatant (or more so) than the vocal clips in this track. It makes for some scary people. I currently live here in a swing state, so every single day for the past 2 months I've received no fewer than 5 political postcards and 4 text messages (not hyperbole), many of them filled with blatant lies vying for my attention. This country balks at the idea of public health care (or honestly even proper health care for the military veterans they lionise) while there's an endless supply of tax money available to feed the military machine - and via that, the pockets of well-oiled cronyism. I'm just very, very tired. The more I worked on this track the angrier I got because in the 81 years since this newsreel came out, the messaging hasn't changed. Sorry. There are feelings. I do like how this one turned out. It's a little cluttered (as is my usual) but has a bit more structure and percussion variety than what I usually do, all of it actually on purpose for a change! I tried to include a few more sounds and a few more themes to play off each other. Most of the patches are my own with the exception of the lead, which is a Wavsynth-based Juno patch called "JunoWave" from Avrildacabra's Modern pack that I've tweaked enough to make worse. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 44 - snoopy over the hills - SAMPLE CHALLENGE - DJ UNKNWN

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 23:08:40 GMT

This is another classic sample challenge from the Discord – only using samples from the provided pack. It's all about creativity and pushing limits with what you've got. Lately, I've been refining my workflow for sample-based beats. I used to rely on Ableton's Sampler to chop samples, but now I work directly with audio files for precise chops, time-warping, and pitch adjustments. This hands-on approach makes my process smoother, faster, and gives me more control. Each beat is a new experiment and a step forward in mastering my sound. Something I still struggle with is that it takes too long to make the beat. I often listen to the whole work-in-progress too many times and lose momentum. On the other hand, things need time to take shape. I think I need to find a middle ground to make my beatmaking even more efficient and keep the creative energy flowing. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 44 - neon liminal - six fathoms deep - featuring JWH (spooky season five)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 22:48:37 GMT

A huge thank you to my good friend the fantastically talented JWH who graciously lent me his vocals and a couple of his lyrics for this weeks track and I confess - I'm not sure I did them justice, they sound so good, and spooky as per the spirit of the season! I have long wanted to compose an echo or response of Josh's track whispering xians, and while I'm not sure this is that echo, I felt like I needed to borrow a couple lines from his song at least once for spooky season, because it's truly a chilling, haunting melody. This track is not really that haunting or chilling lol. But it's a bit spooky. Composed entirely on the M8, and rendered from there straight to a master - no time to mix in DAW this week. The M8 is a fantastic tool for this kind of music - there's things you can do on it (namely switching instruments on a per-note basis within the same track) that you simply can't do in most DAWs, and it really lets you play around with the glitchy interrupted motif a lot of mid-tempo bass music employs. It's also making me wish I had a larger sample library lol. After a month of diving into mid-tempo bass/techno, I've learned a lot and come to a couple of conclusions - there's way more to learn, and a week - with my time constraints - is not enough time for me to execute successfully on this genre. The more I learned, the more scrutinizing I became of the arrangement and while I made gains, these last few tracks have been right up against the wire to upload, at a cost of critical listening time and a deeper mastering effort. I'm gonna keep at this type of music because I really enjoy it and it's a great intellectual challenge, but I'm gonna give myself a little more time to work on whatever I try next for it. Thank the elder gods for the gift that is the M8. Rambling. This coming week might be something less stressful and more ambient lol. › Lyrics, by me with contributions from JWH in italics‹ Lyrics, by me with contributions from JWH in italics Wade in the river, rattle your teeth The chill of the dead holds your hand Swim where they take you, hear their souls weep, and sing their lament if you can.

Week 44 - PeterM - PRELUDE OPUS 28 NO 20

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 22:40:09 GMT

I tried another Chopin cover again this week as I knew I was going to be a bit pressed for time. I was planning to do more arranging and have a gradual introduction of the main theme, but, like I expected, I ended up being pressed for time. So it's just a basic arrangement and I didn't do too much with mixing up the instrumentation, but I did spend a decent amount of time inputting all the chords. I used some FM synth, some Hypersynth, and some resampling of 4 tracks down to 1. A lot of that work ended up getting a bit lost in the pads, but I think I was worth it in the end. Overall, I'm not super thrilled with the result. I'd like to mix up the sound design a bit more. I'm finding the "trance" lead kinda repetitive and also the filter sweep on the main melody part could do with some variation. But, it's done and uploaded on time so, what more do you want? ;) Everything was just M8 this week as far as synths go and I did lean heavily on some of the presets that folks have been sharing on the Discord server.

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 22:31:15 GMT

You know, I honestly don't know how I feel about this one. I switched to the Novation PEAK and didn't really use the modular accept as an analog single path through the amplifiers and hitting the inputs of the Digitakt. I didn't like the sound of the PEAK through the MS-filter and just stayed with the PEAKS analog filter. Created about a bunch of new patches and modified some of my favorite patches, I made when I first got the PEAK, that drunken screaming lead that meanders in the background is one of my favorites. I ended up struggling with the mix in the Digitakt as it hits my 2bus as a stereo mix oh well. I hope you enjoy. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 44 - friendlyperiscope - cupboard conflict

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 21:42:57 GMT

no actual conflict and actually it's about drawers. and actually actually this is just a little bit of musical noodling with several things that are playing along and also maybe not. in any case, it's a thing. (and yes i am also still reworking my kitchen configuration, which is making some progress and there is a bit less chaos now!) this little thing started as a guitar noodle that somehow evolved from playing blackbird by the beatles and liking the shapes that uses. that is hopefully not audible anymore, but the shape is still there. (and the shape might return because this turned into mostly melody noodling, without the more chord-type stuff that i have been playing around with.) so, layered guitar, op-1 on recording/"arranging" duty and the osmose sprinkled on top for flavour. as with any week, this might turn out nicer if i didn't essentially do it in an hour or two at the end of the week, but such is the way of life/depression/other things. as is my theme for this whole thing, it's a thing and that is quite neat. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 44 - onezero - Town of the Craggy Rock

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 20:16:03 GMT

Weekend scheduling required a short session Friday night, with a second session (and then editing/arranging) Sunday. This one's with the $60 Univox hollowbody in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning. Some melodies seem familiar, possibly rattling around in my head from earlier pieces, but I rolled with it. Some of this may be from reflex or tendency to want to respond a certain way to particular rhythms or harmonies. (Perhaps it's time for some kind of pattern-breaking approach.) Nothing too fancy, but given the state of the world, I'll go with the guarded hopefulness of creating music. This continues the usual three-guitars/no-effects practice. I'm finding that little nuances of finger position pop out better without stuff in the way, though the downside is that we hear little variances in finger position or pressure. The title comes from Ballinskelligs in Ireland, which is on R566. It was also one end of an early transatlantic cable, which is kind of cool to know. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I just got a mechanical keyboard and not a lot of inspiration for WB so there's my title. The music? Ah yeah.

I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if needed, just ask. This is a pretty experimental track. It attempts to make chiptune glitch music with only analog sound sources.

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 19:22:23 GMT

I think FLUO is one of my favorite tracks I've made for WeeklyBeats. It's the longest track I've submitted, but I made it in a daze while I was super tired this Friday/Saturday. On Sunday I pulled it together and added some vocal samples. The opening has a bit of a Lorn vibe, which I wasn't originally going for; but the rest of the track turns into a kind of techno/trance track. Even though its a bit all over and repetitive (a pattern of mine), I think it works pretty well. Any feedback is appreciated! FLUO is an Esperanto word for "flow," which I picked because of the one vocal sample that is repeated twice in the second half of the song. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 44 - Napear - Echos in the Static

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 19:21:29 GMT

So, sadly I had to start transitioning back to the working stiff life this week, starting my new gig full time next week. So I'm back to doing the bulk of my production on Saturday. But, I'm pretty please with the track that I pulled together this week. Seems like having to fit all my music making into a small window of time is actually really useful for me... not sure how or why... but I guess constraints breed creativity right? At any rate, I was struggling a little to get focused in the first couple hours of my "studio time" yesterday, so I tried an experiment with this weeks track. I went to ChatGPT and asked it to create a brief for an EDM track, gave it a few key points, then I just wrote to the brief it made... and it was legit liberating. I will include the brief it created below for those who are interested, but it was nice to have to have a concrete thing to write to... at least for me... definitely helped with the "blank page" syndrome, and kicked on my school brain. From a production perspective, this track is VERY heavily driven by the CS-80 V. I picked it up for a couple projects I have been working on this month that specifically called for a "Blade Runner" like sound... and man I totally get why it's featured in so many iconic movie soundtracks... it's just a weird and quirky synth, that sounds great. It's like an industrial strength happy accident generator... and quickly becoming my new favorite soft synth (not counting VCV rack). This also features the triumphant return of Hainbach's Moon Echo (which in now in my regular rotation for "sci-fi sounds"). › GPT Brief‹ GPT Brief I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out because I'm planning a special event—a themed virtual reality experience—and I believe your musical talent would be a perfect fit. I'm looking to commission an original EDM track to serve as the centerpiece of this project. Project Overview: Feel and Atmosphere: I envision a track that has a dark, immersive feel with an energetic mid-tempo beat. The music should evoke a futuristic, cyberpunk vibe—think neon-lit streets, towering skyscrapers, and a hint of mystery. Sound and Tone: I'd love for the track to incorporate deep synth sounds and atmospheric layers. Pulsating rhythms and a strong bassline are key. While I don't have specific musical expertise, I imagine something that feels both edgy and captivating. Structure: A dynamic progression would be great—starting with a moody intro, building up to an intense middle section, and then winding down smoothly. Total length around 4-5 minutes. Reference Tracks: To give you a better idea of what I'm aiming for, here are some tracks that capture the style and feel I'm interested in: "Turbo Killer" by Carpenter Brut "Midnight City" by M83 "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" by deadmau5 These tracks have that blend of dark synth and energetic beats that I'm drawn to. Reason for Commission: This track will be featured in a virtual reality experience I'm developing for an upcoming tech showcase. The goal is to transport attendees into a cyberpunk world, and your music will play a crucial role in setting the scene. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 44 - Paisleyfrog - A Thousand Cuts

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 18:42:03 GMT

Another song from me and my wife that we've never recorded. We're hoping that we can finish our second album before the year is up, we're really close. :) Probably one of the heaviest songs we've done. She wrote these lyrics about seven years ago, and it took a bit to figure out what the song wanted to sound like. It was initially a LOT angrier. It gained its footing when it went from angry to resigned - and a major key. Continued experiments in minimal recording - this is a live take with no overdubbing. We had tried recording it earlier this week, and neither of us were really happy with it. I had already re-tracked the guitar and added bass, and was starting to go down the road of adding more instruments (with my wife in agreement) - when I thought that I'd prefer taking another run at it. Two mics - go. I just replaced my condenser mic, but my wife still used the SM58 - I prefer her vocals through it. Condenser duties went to the guitar, which I think benefitted from the added high end. Two tracks and a bit of compression and reverb. Done. Speaking of guitar: this song is the debut of Mary Moon, my Kalamazoo KG-11 (a Gibson budget model from 1938). Found it at a Music Go Round for $10. It was literally in pieces - someone had tried to replace the internal bracing with modern X bracing and given up. Local luthiers told me it wasn't worth what it would cost to fix, so I tried it myself. It plays now. Is it great? Nope, still needs new frets, the intonation is pretty bad, and I wasn't able to keep all of the belly bulge away. But I really really wanted to play it on this song. I thought it was fitting. Happy to have this one in the can. It's taken a while for us to just appreciate this one as a song, and not have to do a deep cleansing breath afterwords. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics We never had an epic love affair But I needed someone and you were just there Now with all these years and all these miles under our wheels I’m wondering if I’ve lost what it takes to feel I don’t look up when I see a mirror anymore I know I’ll see the pain that I’ve denied You don’t look up when I say goodbye and hello But I’ll take the hit and know at least I tried Chorus When I try to smile and catch your eyes and you look away When the comfort we once shared has turned to dust When holding you is like pressing glass into my heart But there’s no place I can go so I’ll take the cuts Bridge I don’t get what I need from you but needing doesn’t pay I’ll swallow down a thousand cuts and hope the stinging fades My heart is trapped inside a cage The barbs are pointed in The door is open to escape But where would I begin I don’t know what I’d say if someone asked me why Why the hurting and the pain is worth the stay I can only hope it’s something I can still avoid Because I’m not sure I can keep the tears away When I try to smile and catch your eyes and you look away When the comfort we once shared has turned to dust When holding you is like pressing glass into my heart But there’s no place I can go so I’ll take the cuts But there’s no place I can go so I’ll take the cut X3 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Only had a couple hours this week to put something down, so stuck to the usual suspects of chopping some drums into one shots and programming a new beat, put down some lofi soft synths and add some scratches and vocal chops. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

More acid, more breaks, more hardware jamming.

Week 44 - SteveSkiano - Trump Addiction

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 17:44:30 GMT

I confess, far to much of my mental bandwidth has been used up by politics. I can't wait until it's over. The song is modeled off of Lazy Sunday by The Lonely Island. Lyrics: Two more days till the election of our lifetime I’m mostly worried bout how I’ll spend my time. (What do you do now) I’m just glued to the news Till I get to see my orange man acting like a tool Some people love to watch people falling over Or videos of white ladies losing composure To me the most incredible high that I can get Is old Donny yelling “they are eating all our pets!” I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t watch nothing else I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t entertain myself. It’s just like a drug cuz I can’t get enough I wanna hear bout armies of psychos and thugs (where?) Pouring through the border murdering thousands Hannibal Lectors breaking into houses If he stops giving speeches, I know I’ll be lost I love a concept of a plan to lower the cost of Gas, and groceries, and tic tacs and wine, (uh) (But how?) He’ll Tariff the FUCK out of China! I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t watch nothing else I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t entertain myself. It’s coming so soon, The future’s lookin dismal for Seth Myers, John Oliver, and Jimmy Kimmel We’ll never again get to see him to his jerk dance Dressed as a trash man with shit in his pants After the 5th I don’t know what I’ll do Oh right, still got another month or two Seeing an old racist man saying “I’m not a Nazi” Got me laughing while rolling on the floor like Yahtzee I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t watch nothing else I got the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, the Trump addiction, can’t entertain myself.

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 17:21:33 GMT

It's CreepyBeats week! Inspired by Halloween, and by my fondness for snakes, and my upcoming journey to Indonesia, a jungle-esque track this week. I came up with the lyrics during a train ride to the airport and recorded the vocals in a hallway of the airport. At the airport, looking to board a long-haul flight in a few minutes. Will eventually re-record with a decent mic and outside of the airport, but needed to keep the deadline… :D Lyrics: green between leaves and roots and soil slither from a coil moist I hoist the body of a mouse from its jungle house snake awake I was always right you just didn't know ~snake~ thought I brought planted in your mind a gift to humankind truce of god they wanted me away was I ever shy snake awake I was always right you just didn't know ~snake~ 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 44 - SQF - midi test w44

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 17:05:21 GMT

I was digging back through old files and came across this sub37 sample that evidently at one point was a midi sequencing test. I thought it was kind of cool so I started building on top if it and boom, a song is born. I decided to keep that element going for the majority of the song and in some sections it almost feels like a rhythmic element in the background. Around 3:30 I used another sample from a sample pack and felt like it fit pretty well. I then transition back to the first chorus section to finish the song though maybe that transition isn't as smooth. Overall it flows better than last weeks medley. Really happy with how this one turned out! It's also insane looking back at a 44 week streak of songs and proud that I pushed through on the weeks where I just wasn't motivated but sat down to have fun rather than produce a work and in the end a work was produced. Definitely some life learnings to carry forward after this weekly beats experience. I'm also really enjoying the community and hearing everyone's own style and approach. Maybe we can do some monthly/quarterly beats collabs in the off season to keep the community going! SQF🍻 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 44 - dancramp - PODS

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:39:16 GMT

An attempt this week to do a whole track with just the circuit tracks - 2 synths plus drums only. Just one project file, so also limited to 8 patterns for each track (7 if you want to automate an empty track), and no changing synth sounds… Very harsh limitations and made me realise that I do need to add more to get what I want out of it! Another attempt at retro synthwave kinda stuff. Not sure of the middle8 and would probably be ok without it, just slapped on some randomised lead on that as I’d run out of patterns for that synth by this point… 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

I’m failing with the words this week but I know someone who is mucho better with words and da musics. If you guessed jwh, you’re correct! This week he worked on a collab between ddmm64 and myself :) The inspiration came from ddmm64’s week 29 track, “bullaby” ddmm64’s track combined with Josh’s guitar and vocals inspired me to add piano, rhodes and a bit of squishy drums. sifting (w/ ddmm64 + Tone Matrix). Big thanks to ddmm64 and jwh for including me on such good song <3 and thank you for listening and stoppin by Hopefully I did the linkage c0rr3ctly :o 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 44 - thgirwnhoj - 44 Weekly Beats 2024 Higher Than Low

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 16:27:37 GMT

At 44 weeks, it's starting to feel like the home stretch of this project. I am definitely feeling fatigued creatively at this point and struggling to find the energy and enthusiasm to complete tracks like this one. I can tell I am starting to rely on certain formulas that have worked in the prior weeks. Taking that approach allows me to finish a track, but it doesn't feel very creative. The basic formula here was to build a drum kit in Ableton Note and then find samples in the same key and chop them all up in the main DAW. Mixing this track was tough because I didn't have the chance to get in front of my monitor speakers and all of the different headphones I used seemed to produce inconsistent sounds. I am just going to stop messing with it at this point and let it be a part of the entire body of tracks that will make up the whole year's worth. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 15:54:21 GMT

This week I started 3 different projects, but could not find the right mood to get into the material. Like a good Goulash, it has to age a little more. This song here is a musical collage with recordings I found on the SSDs and recorded freshly. I utilized a monochordrecording, which I played myself, while my friend did the gongs, a lot of ambient guitar and a few piano chords. There are also 2 short clips with M2K7 loops, which I manipulated with my guitarpedals. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 44 - jbarket - my brain desperately looking for consistency in a loud environment

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 15:29:08 GMT

the breaks do come in, I promise. it just takes a minute. I spent too much of the week saw sharpening, trying to push towards where I really want to go, and realized I didn't have anything to show for it. I had pretty much given up when I decided to try chopping breaks in vcv rack. normally when I've done anything break related and generative, I try to lock in a two step pattern (or whatever I want the core to be) and let the notes inbetween wander. but this is eurorack, so I modulated all the things. I couldn't get my bernoulli tree to keep the breaks on as often as I liked--the chance of mute/unmute is sub-2% per phrase, and I swear below 2% is somehow greater than 100%--but otherwise it's something. hopefully I'll defeat the gods of atonal techno and move that way next week. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 44 - tarsiidea - Look Back

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 14:33:30 GMT

This weeks track started from mucking around with piano through a delay, and improvising chord and melody ideas while recording. I sifted through the recordings and found some ideas I liked and put them in a rough song structure. I then added layers and found ways to nicely gel the ideas together. However, I got to a point where I couldn't think of where to take it further, but it still felt lacking. So I figured I might as well have a go at singing random lyrics over it, and surprisingly the chorus came out on the first take. That gave me something to write the rest of the lyrics around, and it came together much nicer than I expected. The backing vocals were fun to do as well, as I haven't tried doing harmonies like that before. I added lots of delay and chorus to float them in behind the vocals and I was surprised how well they fitted in. I'm keen now to experiment more with backing vocal harmonies in the future. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 44 - Kedbreak136 - Atlas Shrugged

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 12:36:23 GMT

A few years ago, I read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I had heard of the book and was curious to make my own opinion about the book. Well, that was quite a weird experience. Let's say that I was unimpressed. This track started as a swing like track for Halloween and was sliding down into the angular territory, with weird out of key chords and clumsy rhythm, which I thought was a great image of a machine that was supposed to be perfectly oiled but ends up hiccupping here and there, as if the production line was progressively destroying itself. And it all ends in chaos. Appropriate. Somehow, this reminded me of what the world would look like in the hands of people who took Atlas Shrugged literally. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 03 Nov 2024 11:15:51 GMT

This week, as I sat down to work on my latest track, my mind drifted to the serene and charming world of Stardew Valley. For those unfamiliar, Stardew Valley is a beloved farming simulation game that offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inspired by this, I decided to create a song that would feel right at home in Stardew Valley—a piece about taking a break and lying in the valley. The idea was to compose something that evokes the tranquility and simplicity of life in the game, where time seems to slow down and the worries of the world fade away. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

It’s been a good run of beats this year, but I’ve finally run out of ability to keep it going weekly. This was last weeks which I missed by 30 seconds, and it was also my last week of my job last week too. Now going travelling around New Zealand on the biggest trip of my life, so who knows if that will make or break my weekly productivity! I’m sure I’ll get some good recordings. This track I’m pretty happy with, first time I’ve sat down with my instruments in a while, and sampled a drum recording from a few years back. This year I’m tending towards house/indie crossover, likely due to listening to men I trust quite a lot! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I'd be tempted to use it to record drums (from far away) because of how delightfully trashy it is. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This is a song based on a poem I wrote while lying on a cliff by the sea a few years back. I wanted to make it into something soothing, a bit of a lullaby. Majakka means Lighthouse in English. The Finnish word "kaikkeuteen" that the song ends with is hard to translate to English, the most direct translation is actually "The All, The Everything", but it sounded better with infinity so I put that into the translation instead. Anyway, I think you get the picture :) I am finishing this song up with a heaviness over me, because I just learned my aunt passed away only yesterday. And strangely, this song feels like it connects to that, to her, ending a journey, or traveling on.. So I am dedicating this song to her. Majakka (Original Finnish lyrics) --------------- Tuuli tuulee tyttönsä tykö Se tietää taakasta tajunnan takana Toisitko tänne toivoa ja tahtoa Jotta jaksaisin nousta kalliolta Päätön, päättymätön, on pääni purje Mutta enää se ei kauas kulje Ainoastaan yksi kutsuu sieltä Meren päästä toisesta maasta Yksi ainut ääni kuuluu enää Kaikuu sieluni syövereissä Sydämessä synkimmässä Sytyttää valon uudelleen Ainoastaan yksi kutsuu enää Meren päästä toisesta maailmasta Kutsu kaikuu sieluni syövereissä Sydämessä synkimmässä Sytyttää valon uudelleen Luulin sen sammuneen Luulin kadottaneeni sen Syvyyksiin, kuohuihin, pimeyteen Mutta majakanvalo syttyi jälleen Yllättäen, loistaen, kantaen Tähden kotiin Kaikkeuteen Majakka (Lyrics translated to English) --------------- The wind blows/comes to it's girl It knows about the burden behind consciousness Would you bring me hope and willpower So I would have the strength to get up from this cliff Headless, endless, is the sail of my mind But it won't go far anymore Only one calls from there Beyond the sea from another land Only one voice can be heard anymore Echoing in the abyss of my soul In the darkest of hearts Ignites the light again Only one calls anymore Beyond the sea from another world The call echoes in the abyss of my soul In the darkest of hearts Ignites the light again I thought it had been quenched I thought I had lost it Into the depths, the foam, the darkness But the light of the lighthouse ignited again Surprisingly, shining, carrying A star home To infinity 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Barren and sparse, with spots of color and light in the distance. The shapes and colors grow as the horizon approaches. Feeling a little introspective this week.

Week 44 - jegasus - Chords are Weird

Sat, 02 Nov 2024 18:09:56 GMT

Howdy howdy, my fellow musicians! How are we feeling today? How is your aunt? I haven't heard from her in a while. What do you mean "which one"? The only you introduced me to a couple of years ago, the one with the brown dog. Gosh, what was her name... The aunt that you said helped get you into music! Yes, her! Oh, she is? Aw, that's nice to hear. Oh, me? I've been up to no good, as usual. I started out this song by experimenting with chords. I'm not well versed in music theory, and I feel that most of my songs have the exact same chord progression (if they even *have* chords at all). So in this song I started off with some really simple piano samples and messed around with the chords, trying to highlight how removing or adding some of the keys from the chord completely changes the feeling and the emotion the song conjures up. I think this is most obvious in the first three "phrases" of the song, where I loop through the same 8 bar loop three times, each one adding more keys to the chord, but not changing the keys played of the voices that had come in previously. I think it really showcases how strange chords can be! Hahahahaha... This also just illustrates how ignorant I really am about music theory and formal music writing. Also, a kind WB colleague (rplktr) mentioned how, in my previous tune, since the piano samples were all played at the same velocity and not allowed to really resonate like a real piano, that made it sound a bit like oldschool midi. So instead of that, he suggested I lean into the more glitchy tracker-based aesthetic, and that's what I tried to do! I added a low-pass filter as well as some degradation on the piano samples. I also added some randomization to its velocity (within a small range). I'm not sure which of the two "versions" I prefer more: the cleaner starker more midi-sounding one or the glitchy degraded one, but I'm posting the song with the latter. I'm curious to hear what y'all think! As usual, today's song was made 100% on the M8. Also, thank you all so much for the super kind comments on last week's tune <3 I've been having so so so much fun with WB and it's kind of bittersweet knowing that it's coming to a close soon. On one hand I'm immensely grateful to have a community of folks whose new music I get to hear, as well as people who listen to and provide feedback on my own work! So it's sad to know that this is ending. But on the other, MAN is it time consuming!!! Hahahahaha... I think I'll be happy to have more free time for a few other activities =P Anyways, just a few more weeks left!!!! See y'all around, peeps. Stay safe out there! Peace <3 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Recently acquired a Digitone II and totally in love with it. It's already very capable but I'm very curious about future updates and what sort of new "machines" they will bring. I love how it has the routable master compressor and master overdrive just like Digitakt II, so I can finish a track "in the box". This one is a direct recoring out of Digitone with zero post-processing. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

44. nightly thank u for coming. › notes‹ notes "nightly" was a really on-the-nose repeat of what i had done with sub letting - didn't want to waste the space the melodica had taken up in my luggage lol so i had to use it for at least one weeklybeat. same kind of deal - just a phone recording of the room: melodica improvised over 2-chord ambient track (i won't say "loop" because it has irregularity/variation) which is playing through the speaker, and with the door open to record the sound of traffic outside - done in 1 take, pacing around the room. i would edit/fix some things but meh, this type of thing is better with the imperfection left in. so it's just the one take with a little bit of delay added to smooth it out, and some compression and stereo balancing. nightlybeats. the crosswalk beep at the end wasn't added - it was part of the original recording too, and i think it's pretty cool how the timing of that worked out: the traffic slowed and stopped for someone to cross right after the background track faded out and the piece was done. the two chords in the ambient track don't always alternate at even intervals - it was some unfinished track i had made previously, and i was beefing it up with reverb and stuff hoping it would lead to some inspiration for the week's project (which obviously it did). so i don't remember exactly what's going on in the original track, but i think it has layers going forward and in reverse, which is why sometimes it stays on one chord longer than the other. and so i was trying to play catch up/hang back with the melodica as it went along. but i am glad i captured it like that without thinking too much. not that it's a challenging set of chords to improvise over anyway lol, the whole thing is just diatonic f minor so you can't really go wrong. and yeah the tuning is absolutely terrible haha. don't listen if you have perfect pitch. the coda jam from "sub letting" reappears at the end, transposed and remixed. really on the nose lol, but that's fitting, because i have this tendency to try to recreate memories, and life doesn't work that way, as i am continually learning. but it's kinda fun to have this little "theme" to represent this place. the photo is from the same night this was recorded, nothing special just a snapshot of the place & time. bittersweet: almost time to leave my home away from home, here. thanks for the good times. hhuwoa on soundcloud - 44. nightly 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This is a 4/4 lyricless synth rock remake of an old song from a country band I was in 20 years ago. The original was called Spent the Rent and it was in 3/4 with acoustic guitars. This was recorded as a test on a Tascam 688 I recent got repaired. Most of the music was composed on a MPC Live 2 and there's a Roland TR-8 in there too. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Canto do olho 'Corner of the eye' Missed last week's WB because I've been really busy finishing up the short movie I'm working in. These past weeks, I've been working on the soundtrack and mixing it in dolby atmos. It was a really fun challenge and the results are really interesting. It is looking and sounding great and I can't wait to share it with everyone. In the meantime, cause I didn't want to miss two weeks in a row, I was digging through some songs on the m8 and found this one pretty much done but without a set arrangement. Worked out the sections and added some transitions and voilá! See you next week. Cover photo by fran.cesca › Gear‹ GearDirtywave M8.

Starting an entry for the M8 Community Jam™ that has a theme of "colour change" and an optional challenge of "warp an airhorn sample". I loaded up said sample and started messing with it and it turned into some sort of sci-fi hull breach alarm. Rolled with that, and used a multitude of macrosynth engine instruments that all have a drunk LFO on the COLOR parameter; hence: "colour change". Re-introduced the lead sound from last week's beat as I thought it sounded nice. Blew out the mix when all the drums are introduced. Doesn't sound great unfortunately. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Another stream-of-consciousness sound collage track. This one started after listening to some of The Books, the original sound collage style band / artist I fell in love with many years ago. Tons of sample chopping, pitch-shifting, manipulating, and tweaking. I kinda ran out of time, so it's not as polished as I'd hope. This is a smaller part of a larger composition. * Ableton bass synths and Wavetable for more synths and bass * Drum, bass, percussion, pads, sax, trumpet, vocal, texture, etc. samples from Splice * Ableton Simpler for drum sample chopping * Valhalla, Transit, Transit 2 plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total time: 5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 43 - laguna - Voyager (interlude)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 23:54:23 GMT

I was doodling around, like usual, in order to find something to sample for a IDM/Hip Hop track. That's how most of my Berlin School tracks come to life. In fact, given some time, I think this one could be chopped and resampled for an excellent beat driven track (maybe next week? who knows?) One thing lead to another, and after some automation and some adjustments, I ended up with this monotonous sketch. It lacks a proper intro, and although it's a little bit cliche, all was inspired by some documentary about the Voyager probes and their trip to explore the gas giants on the solar system. I'm afraid it's just some loops and some filter sweeps in order to make it bearable, but after last week, when I was so sick I went to bed and forgot about the world, coming with a simple idea is at least welcome. I'm slowly finding which Linux plugins I could use in the Reaper/Renoise world and stop trying to "recreate" Ableton. I mean, every DAW and OS has their strong points, so I'm trying to explore what my Linux setup has to offer instead of finding "plugin X and fx Y" that sound exactly like what I use on the Macintosh. And I don't mean it as "LINUX vs Whatever"... it's the same thing when I work on a Windows system... or on another Mac with Studio One or Logic instead of my beloved Live. Exploring is fun, yet mastering is when you miss your old and trusty tools. Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for the nice comments on my previous tracks. I'd love to catch up as soon as I had the time. Take care, WB family. Enjoy seven more days of hapiness :) 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

A sort of rushed Halloween track. Halloween is coming up, and it's going to be another exciting night of trick of treating with the kid (something I didn't do myself as I didn't grow up in the US). I've been writing a lot of ominous-ish things recently, but this time the goal was spooky, not just ominous.

Week 43 - LeBernd - Imposter

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 23:38:18 GMT

Started off with a strong idea on Monday and that was the beginning of the end. I've found that a part with a single instrument that feels like it has "potential" creates pressure to put together a song around it that realizes that potential - and that's when blocks happen. There could've been much more experimenting with a C-section, more building, more craziness. But a week suddenly feels like very little time when a task seems big. But I got something made, and I have a badass preset for future productions. Also, apart from struggling with this beat, I actually had a great week with synth meetups, jams and workshops. I'm discovering the scene in Berlin and it feels great! › Technical Stuff‹ Technical Stuff The Main patch came from the idea that I wanted to have a lead line that get's sent to the same distortion with a bass, so that the bass causes the lead to break up a little. But because there's no bus FX on the M8, I had to help myself with an FM Synth patch, creating a bass from two Operators, and using the remaining two for the lead, that I could then play somewhat separately using the FMxx commands. That's how the main part happened. The drums are synthesized, with the snare being one of my favourites so far. Trusty old sample mangling from about 1:05, also an additional Wavetable bass. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 43 - MRDRCAT - 241027_X

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 23:35:15 GMT

I have had NO time to do ANYTHING this week, so with 40 minutes until submission time, I dragged out the ol' Monotribe, Monotron Delay, and Kaossilator (which was turned up too loud) and fed everything into an OM System LS-P5. No mastering. Four previous utterly failed attempts. NOISE. But hey, I created a monster, so happy Halloween! I used to be better at this. The M8 has spoilt me. However....it was really fun getting out some weirdo equipment and just seeing what sort of awful noise I could make. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 43 - PeterM - KAOSS IMPROV

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 23:28:52 GMT

I spent some time messing around with this OG Kaossilator and this is the result! I don't know what to say really. I played a bunch of parts into the M8's sampler and then tried to massage them into something coherent. The Kaossilator is kinda tough to control and play precisely ... which is actually very fun ... but it puts me out of my usual comfort zone. Anyway, at this point in the year, I'm happy to have an idea to run with and challenge myself in an interesting way. I really like the trumpet patch on the the Kaossilator so I knew I wanted to have that be a prominent part of the song. And after trying to play an actually melody a few times, I just decided to embrace the chaos and do some free form improv stuff. The middle section is a bit of a homage to Dixieland style with multiple instruments improvising at the same time. It's a bit busy, but I'm OK with it. Anyway, single digit weeks left! I'm hoping to have a bit more time in November for spending on music making. The past few weeks have been tough for me to make time for this, but I'm glad that the relentless deadline forced something out of me. Looking forward to listing to everyone again this week! There is so much great music going on around here with you all! ;) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Life got busy, and I've been away for a couple of weeks. I was out of town the last two weekends, and since I'm the king of procrastinators and don't usually start my beat until Sunday afternoon, I missed out. I spent last weekend with Mosaic and his sis up in Harper's Ferry on our annual camping and kayaking adventure. I was with my girlfriend and her kids the weekend before at Great Falls on the Potomac. Fall is my favorite season, and I gotta get outside and soak it up. Okay, enough with my excuses. I did use the time away to recharge my creative juices. In fact, this week's beat is my first ever with NO piano. I sat down at my keys at 4:00 pm and started rummaging through my VSTs for something interesting. I landed on an ethereal patch called "Increasing Flow" from Augmented Strings, and it just went from there. The name for the beat came from the Arp arpeggio patch I used. Anyway, it's an experimental noodle for me as I continue to learn my way around Abelton and try to do some different things. I look forward to catching up with what's been uploaded while I was away. I hope everyone is enjoying this fall, and as always, thanks for stopping by. - RCN 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Riding the clouds this week with some good'ol DNB, its a crazy world out there. Last week with this setup. I am going to be switching out both the modular and the Virus for some new textures. Its been a blast the past couple of weeks. I have gotten really comfortable with the Digitakt 2. I am going to spend the off year dialing in a mix I like, I don't feel like I have this where I like and never have enough time to really get this where I want it. I also haven't been taking good patch notes so once I have a sequence and sound its resampled into the Digitack and the patch is lost. I hope this mix translates cause the sub is carrying a ton of energy. I only checked it on my main mix set before bring it into Ableton for a quick leveling and print. Access Virus and the Instruo Saich as the synth voices, Qu-bit Nautilus on delay duties. Drum one-shots by Zenhiser, spread out over 16 tracks and 28 unique patterns. Hope you enjoy.

Week 43 - tarsiidea - When Will I See You Next

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 23:04:06 GMT

This one started with the rain-droppy synth sound after playing with a delay and recording it while jamming on my keyboard along to the delay. I built a song around it, but then found that I'd added too many layers of drums and synth lines and totally buried the rain-droppy sound and the song felt like it went nowhere. So I stripped it right back and built it up again focussing on what feelings it brought to mind. I imagined the scattered and anxious thoughts after the loss of a loved one to death and the swirling emotions when trying to coming to terms with waiting until the afterlife to see them again. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Had to channel some rage this week so went back to my roots with a bit of an industrial turn. Working title: “Trent did it better.” Very much a work in progress. Spent three or so days on it, by far the most I’ve accomplished in that timeframe for as long as I’ve been doing this. Would love to have spent more time on it, but family has been keeping me busy. I have fixed and tweaked several things since this recording, but won’t have a chance to re-record before the deadline, so it is what it is.

Week 43 - jbarket - sleep through the storm

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 22:24:00 GMT

I noodled around this week, but was mostly waiting on my new sequencer to show up. Then it got delayed until tomorrow, and now you all get this nonsense, haha. I decided to make a fully self playing patch in vcv rack. It's a single field recording of a creek near my house, plus a bunch of synthesized nonsense that tickled my brain in the right way. Normally with things like this I'll either multitrack them for a while and assemble a final version, or I'll let it record 5-10 minutes a handful of times and pick my favorite. With this, I got distracted and ended up leaving it for 90 minutes. The part here is clipped from a section not too far from the beginning. Other than the field recording, the other sounds potentially fade in/out every 4 bars, and on the final version, there's a solid couple of minutes of just water running not long after the beginning. But as you can see from this snippet, it does pick up eventually. The full 90 minute version is here if you're having trouble sleeping. This isn't anything crazy, but I am pretty happy with the number of ways I was able to get it to be repetitive, but still evolving over time. The metallic perc sound randomly changes itself, the patterns let randomness in every once in a while, and the pieces can pull themselves in and out at random. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 43 - snoopy over the hills - TRACKLIB

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 22:22:46 GMT

Sometimes, you just have to embrace the flow. This week's beat started as an old sketch - just a Rhodes and a bassline collecting dust. I added a basic drum groove and the vibe felt right. So I explored Tracklib’s library for some brass and vocal samples, layering them more prominently than I usually do. For a week where inspiration was hard to find, it turned out surprisingly well. Sometimes, letting the samples lead the way is all it takes. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Blanket and frame for Ghibli art tribute AL made for Alphonse (she developed all week), also groceries and new food containers. Rode to park twice in evenings. AL joined once. Failed WB attempt happened started there. Watched families, walkers, kids, athletes hanging around the park for a few hours. Monarchs are out. Finished one book and continued reading another. First time going to Costco with our new cards. Enjoyed excursion as a couple. Sleep schedule messed up. Picked up new board game. Played with AL. Tried on clothes for courthouse. Listening party, streams, and too much internet. Watching analytics (broke 1k views in one week). Glad for break from practice space. Ate at P'sDaughter for lunch. New menu under new management. Bad iced matcha for AL. Walked to market. Deep clean bathroom and kitchen with AL. Feeling more focused and accepting of work conditions. Concerned about how much time spent on the internet. Tried to put good intentions into communities even if online. Trying to be empathetic to traumatized strangers even if they give in to reactive regressive thinking. Remembering personal experiences where that was me. Thinking of tech and intersection with ethics, philosophy, and economy. Simulation theory. Smart people and family members who may be overly developed in their craft or career but under developed in social awareness and humanities. Some times purposely... Hope it's not forever. Still love them. Coordinating with my family for meeting next month. Explaining 90's AZN and ABG history and meaning to immigrant mother and brother. Short era of life. Reactionary community building responding to upbringing in new country. Elections news. Revisit spectrogram drawings.

Week 43 - lament.config - It's got a Death Curse

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 22:03:35 GMT

I mean who starts October with Michael Myers and ends with Jason? Living in backwards land I tells ya. A good portion of my time this week was spent trying to create the famous Friday the 13th noise. I didn't sample it from the film, instead I made it myself from scratch and I'm not unhappy with it. Here's the thing - most people the sound is "Chi Chi Chi,Ka, Ka, Ka" which isn't correct. The composer Harry Manfredini took the line from the original Friday the 13th "Kill her Mommy" and processed the Ki sound and the Mo sound which created the now famous "Ki, Ki, Ki, Ma, Ma, Ma". So I recorded myself making a Ki and a Ma and went to town. It was a lot of fun but used up a lot of this weeks very limited time. From there, rather than doing some fucked up drones I thought I'd try an 80's synth sound cause I just needed more stress in my life I guess haha Oh I also recorded myself doing Crazy Ralph line "It's got a death curse, you're doomed. Doomed." When I played that back...well I don't think I've ever deleted anything more quickly. Made in Ableton on the tranquil shore of Crystal Lake. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 21:53:38 GMT

I continued my dive into my old sample CDs from the now ended Computer Music magazine and found that in my earliest CD (CM 75) there was a set of processed and unprocessed found sounds. I always enjoyed these type of samples and thought it would be a good time to see how I can set up these samples to loop properly (or at least as close as I could) in Renoise. After finding the main element, I found some complimentary pieces to bring in and create a set of textural contrasts. I also used the send tracks in Renoise to create additional soujnd texture via reverb stacks. After mixing and light mastering with Lair and Tectonic, I exported the track and created the final sound in Audacity. I like the industrial sound and it has the proper dark element for the Halloween season. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 43 - neon liminal - your oldest fears are the worst ones of all (spooky season week four)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 21:47:31 GMT

Big thank you to my dear friend Alan who generously contributed his vocals recording some Jenny Holzer truisms this week. I have turned him into a dystopian-city loudspeaker voice rapidly running out of power and it's a little terrifying. I ran out of time this week - in part because on Friday I discovered I really don't understand mid-tempo arrangement and sorta started from scratch, but whatever gains I made there in the first half of the song rapidly descend into mostly techno nonsense in the latter half because I was literally finishing this song last-minute and mastering on my MacBook with AirPods while I fed the dogs. As a consequence it might be a loud master? I couldn't get an accurate LUFS, though I know it's between -12 and -14. I'm pleased with how it sounds, and apart from loudness issues the master sounds really good, and Alan's voice is fantastic. The arrangement I'm less keen though I did learn a couple things. (On other notes the M8 is back to full strength with a new battery, much easier than I expected to replace though because Canada sucks, very difficult to get the actual battery). One more week of spooky season mid-tempo then who knows? If the sleeping gods show me favour this week, I might have a new pink friend soon to give some industrial drums to the mix. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 21:35:06 GMT

Second week of not quite power chords, and again the title comes from the generator. A simple progression, not too long, but that makes it definitely qualify for a live performance should it come to that. Easy to extend as well as expand should there be a need. The signature is an interesting one here, 2 bars of 4/4 and then what feels like triples in a 3/4, so 11/4 total and for simplicity. Feels nice though. That's why I went with it. You're free to remix this song, naturally, though I recommend just recreating the meters, it's really not that hard. - Devieus 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 43 - onezero - Little Places

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 21:30:48 GMT

This one's an experiment in which two different pieces are stitched together. The groovier section just after 0:45 appeared first, in a late Thursday session. The rest emerged in late-Friday and Saturday evening sessions, when I was hearing something less propulsive. The sensibilities may be going in different directions, but they weren't completely incompatible. Much of the work has been getting a kind of flow with this material. Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola (neck pickup, bridge pickup, both pickups), all fingerpicked. No inline effects, but some convolution reverb send and the usual compression/eq on the stereo out. The title comes from the A565 road near Southport, which goes through several places named "Little" and "Mere." 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 43 - thgirwnhoj - 43 Weekly Beats 2024 Move On Back From You

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 21:19:12 GMT

This is one of those songs that allowed me to stretch out of my comfort zone, but also left me wanting to put more time into it than I had available. I technically started in Ableton Note where I built a drum kit using samples from a Loopcloud trial. I also chose a vocal sample to use and set my project in the same key. But I wasn't inspired to work in the app and decided to move over to the main DAW and use my Push 2 to build out the beat. From there, I used more Ableton presets to compose other parts than I have in recent weeks. There are two parts to the song: one in 9/8 and one in 6/8. At first, I had them alternating A-B-A-B, but I didn't like it, so I made it A-B-B-A with the two B parts serving as a breakdown and build in 6/8 sandwiched between the main 9/8 part with the three-note arpeggiated synth part connecting them. That turned out to be cool, but I wish I had more time to develop that overall idea. As I was wrapping it up, I realized I hadn't even EQ'ed a handful of tracks, so I threw some EQ presets on those tracks quickly. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Music from a jam last night with Creatures Once bandmate Monstrosus, who in the spirit of the Halloween holiday was actually wearing a monstrous mask when we recorded this section. That was fun and weird. We had a long session and covered a lot of ground but for this part we had fun trying to do something a little dark and spooky. I think we found some good sounds for that. He was using ios apps. I was using the Mininova vocoder, Circuit Tracks and Rhythm, Handsonic with looper, Kaoss Pad. While editing this down today I began to think about that lovable old fella Frankenstein. So a last minute decision, added some sample audio and video to our creation from this Frankenstein film marked as public domain. Used some voices and some electricity crackling sounds, the other creepy sounds are from our jam. 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Hey hey dear friends! Since i got a little sick this week i had a lot of freetime to spend on this weeks beat. The result of this was that i used a guitar sample - which my friend made (Thanks Jens!) - for the first time and also added some spicy german vocals. Have fun and let the Techno guide your way! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This one got away a bit from me, meant to be a drone thing playing with 2 new toys I got this week, the Eventide H9 pedal and a SUPER cheap 3 Channel Mesa Dual Rec, and somehow ended up with 8 minutes of song. Maybe should have done more editing lol 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

odd week, still renovating, i.e. slowly assembling furniture and putting holes in walls to install said furniture. also played a bunch on the new instrument, but mostly exploring both keyboard playing/noodling and said instrument. so here's something that came out of that, more of a jam-noodle than a real piece, both because that is what i have been doing and because i didn't spend much time recording/composing/thingslikethat. but hey, week 43! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 43 - mukti - MIZERA

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 20:21:02 GMT

I spent most of this week messing around in Deflemask before giving up and trying to make a spooky, kind of Halloween/horror themed track on my M8. It shares the same vibe as TERURA but with less of a "sci-fi alien" horror theme, and more of a Poltergeist vibe. I found some samples on LANDR (Digital Nightmares Halloween SFX Pack) and chopped+mixed them with some male TTS vocals I generated. Like many tracks I released here, its pretty repetitive, but I think it works. Any feedback is appreciated! I spent a lot of time looking through horror/fear words to use as a title for this weeks track, but most of the Esperanto translations didn't give the right horror vibe. I ultimately went with MIZERA, an Esperanto word meaning "miserable," which looks/feels closer to the vibe of the track. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 43 - littlebigmosaic - cow goes moo. ghost goes boo.

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 19:20:13 GMT

Was camping and last weekend so skipped a week. Oops. But I'm back with a spooky, playful phonk-inspired track. This is my first attempt at phonk. What the phonk is phonk? Phonk traces its roots back to the Memphis rap scene of the early ’90s, pioneered by underground artists who crafted a raw, intense sound. It's only recently surged in popularity through streaming platforms and social media after it's migration to Europe. Phonk draws from gritty, sample-heavy beats inspired by classic hip-hop and psychedelic funk, with layers of haunting melodies and dark, atmospheric loops. A main characteristic of phonk is its emphasis on the triplets, adding a hypnotic, driving force. Distorted 808s and punchy cowbell sounds are signature elements, often layered with eerie vocal samples and reverb effects that transport you straight into the shadows. The cowbells make up the main melodic layer and often move in unexpected chromatic shapes. Text to speech generated in ElevenLabs I wanted to pay homage to the cowbell by making my track cow themed and, of course, had to go for spookiness with the ghost. So, I present to you "cow goes moo. ghost goes boo." Thanks for listening! Would love to hear what you think. Moo and boo. -Adam 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 19:11:25 GMT

Here is another outtake from the session with Günther. I was playing a little bit on the guitar and made some drones with my pedals at the same time. Günther was controlling the Rhodes in a masterful brilliant way. I almost let his part roll all through, just added a few intruments in the end. I think the song does not need more stuff to get better. The EQing and mastering was not easy, because when I normalize with ableton while rendering, the mix and everything seems to change as well. I do not know what to do anymore. I am very happy and still wonder, how this comes from plastic and a metalneedle only. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This might be considered a return to Bug Form. Perhaps a pill bug looking for a nice spot under a rock. In a bit of a rush this week so put some automatic atmospheric writing to work. Spent about 45 minutes total on this song. Reused my fx chains and instruments from last week and wrote in some new patterns. Did my best to no incorporate any percussion into this one for a more ambient vibe. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Alright, I was able to rescue the work I abandoned from the week before. The random title assigned by the m8 was "little life" and after completing this the title does make sense. I ended up glueing together several parts that I think I did a decent job of making flow together. Some may call it a medley, I look at it like a slice of life, seasons of change if you will.

Week 43 - Tone Matrix - How Very Little There Is Left Of Me

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 16:22:29 GMT

Hello there. A few weeks ago (w.41) I recorded my track whilst experiencing an extra 'vibrant' afib episode. Normally I try to distract myself by going for a walk or doing some easy kitchen clean up etc. Sometimes though they can be a bit pesky and stick around longer than usual. But because I was pressed for time that week I forced myself to get something done. It was def a unique experience for me because it had me all jumpy in the legs and a bit twitchy on the knob turning and such. I figured with the results "ok cool another sleepy ambient track, h00ray". But I did not figure on it getting developed and turned into a powerful song that hits totally different now for me. Of course I'm talking about the stellar sounds of the traveling_weeklybeater himself, Mr. jwh! **claps_emphatically** He did something really cool with my description of how I was feeling while making that track. With his excellent David Gilmour-esque guitar work and beautiful vocal harmonies I have my own extra motivational/inspirational song to listen to :) So if you haven't already hit play on this week's track go right on over to his page first and please enjoy and comment on his excellent version that turns my ambient track into a powerful and inspiring song :) Now I'm not sure if the afib_gnomes in me heard what was going on but apparently they too enjoyed being the inspiration of this week because I had yet another episode while working on this weeks track :p Mayhaps I can form a symbiotic relationship ala Venom? I do have relatively good news in addition to the awesome news that jwh brought. At my recent appointment it appears I finally know what has been causing all my chest/ribcage issues for the past few months. Once the imaging confirms it, Costochondritis has been idenitified where basically the cartilage that connects between the ribs and breastbone gets inflamed and just makes everything extra achey in that area. So until recently I was fearing the worst because my afibs have been occurring so much more often and combined with the chest/ribs it felt like something was internally wrong. The upside is it doesn't appear to be anything worse. The downside just that there is no timetable on when it will go away. Even though the afibs are still a work in progress for the cardiologist visits this at least gives me peace of mind to finally understand what has been going on with me. Soooo as I overshare way too often with you my wb_fraindz, I just wanted to say thank you to Josh and to all of you that regularly stop by to listen and say hai. As I went into piano_noodle season and then transitioned into sagan_space_epiano season. I believe I am now entering the synth season. Forcing myself to start out using mainly one soft synth that I neglected using most of the year. U-he's Zebra and it's plethora of awesome sounds has def been inspiring me quickly and pretty randomly. I probably could have developed this a bit more with a few more sections but I think I enjoyed zoning out to the arps and wavy synths I stumbled across this week more than anything. Thank you for reading my novella and thank you most of all for listening. I sometimes give myself anxiety about even opening this site. I can't explain it but even tho I don't reply to every single one of you please know that I appreciate you taking the time each week. If I ever miss a question it's not intentional. Feel free to pester me if I do miss one though :) The extra good news was after finishing recording the main chunk of this week's track. The afib said "ok we're good thank you for the synths, bai" and left in a relatively quick fashion. I hope you all have a relaxing week <3 -eric da afibbin hermit 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

I'm just a real fan or this sound. This one actually has a cool story. My friend had moved two years ago and his room had a low ceiling fan. He held his hand up to it and let it hit against his knuckle. He sent a video of it to a discord we're both in. We all turned it into little musical ideas. I ran across it last week and decided to make it a proper song for this week. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 43 - Jai Cafarella - Insurrection

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 14:53:26 GMT

A couple of new trick attempts in this one; mainly, I wanted to have a kinda messy and cold vocal but still be reasonably understandable. I ran the vocals and the drums through the same gated reverb bus to try for some weirdness as they both fight over the gate threshold, and also had a rotary effect on the vocal so it 'moves'. When listening to the 'final' mix on these sorts of vocal experiments, I always find myself wondering if I only think the vocals are understandable enough because I just wrote and performed them, while others might not *shrug* The other thing I tried was a verse/chorus vocal in one sort of thing, keeping the intro/middle/outro instrument melody driven. I have tried similar before, but not necessarily on purpose, it was more a case of only coming up with one vocal part and it either had a verse or chorus vibe, but this was specifically trying to be both. Not sure it worked properly, but at least new things were attempted. You left our souls deprived of shining To stem our rise Imploding promises of nothing Suppress us with lies Straight jacket for the voice of reason Lock it away Here comes the insurrection season It's time to play We are the children of your creation Our manifestations are taking you down We are the children of liberation A standing ovation as you fall down We're taking down 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

All on a Digitone 1 that I borrowed from a friend, 16 patterns, song mode with live manipulation, 2 takes that I mixed to find the best bits. Some bits that didn't turn out so well that I should probably redo in another take, but not sure I'll have time tomorrow morning. Digitone was very fun despite some annoyances with the sequencer, considering picking up the Digitone 2 which fixes my issues with the polyphonic sequencing. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Everything I tried this week was feeling uninspired, to say the least. I've been very inspired by jwh and his experiments in minimal recording lately, so I decided to try that route - I grabbed my old faithful acoustic, and just sang - and this song popped out. I did a scratch, and then retracked the guitar and vocal. Added a minimal clean solo with the tele, sort of like Lou Reed had on Pale Blue Eyes. Done. Leave it alone now! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Well it just occurred to me Although it’s probably plain to see When it falls apart It all builds up again And though I know I’ll make it through And it’s mostly cause of you In the deepest darkness Feels like it won’t end And I’m waiting and waiting For something good I’m waiting and waiting For you Well it just occurred to me In spite of insecurity When it falls apart We’ll build it up again And I’m waiting and waiting For something good And I’m waiting and waiting For you Well it just occurred to me In spite of insecurity When it falls apart We’ll build it up again When it falls apart We’ll build it up again When it falls apart We’ll build it up again 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 43 - Minnamari - Aave Meduusa

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 01:38:29 GMT

I'll start by admitting that the melody for this song is not written by me, though it is a song that is now in the public domain: Ave Maria. So in a way this breaks the rule of making a totally original song, as this can be seen as a type of cover.. But I'll share it anyway. I did write new words and make a bit of a different version, at least. I've been having the idea of making a version of Ave Maria, but for Medusa, for a while now, and this week it kind of just happened over a few nights. I have a long history with the original song, Ave Maria, as I used to listen to it on repeat when I first started living alone when I was nineteen years old. It was one of few songs that just soothed when few other things did. So I tried to retain a soothing quality for this version as well. The idea of the song is kind of subverting/shifting that whole projection of the holy woman to include the "monster" of Medusa, to make space for the horrors that were visited upon her (and many women) but then maybe try to travel onwards from there instead of staying in a rage or victimhoid, looking ahead to what could be, instead. Felt I processed some of my own emotions through making this song.. Though I completed it over a few nights, there were some preparations for making it: I've been practicing playing the melody on piano for a few weeks and wrote the lyrics and even calculated the words so they'd work with the melody..(But as I recorded it ended up more flowy anyway and I chose to embrace that instead) So the sounds are based on the melody I recorded myself playing on my electric piano/keyboard through a midi connection, and then adjusted the sounds with multiple layers in the software. The tones ended a bit longer and drawn out and not "accurate" tempo-wise bit i felt that it fit for this version, it's like Medusa is adding a bit of her own distortion into it..so I didn't edit it "into place" but let it be more drawn out than the original song. I've been thinking I should record new singing as there are imperfections and I find the words a bit awkward at times and they could be polished more...but also can't bring myself to change it, as somehow I feel this is one of those songs that wants to be a bit rough around the edges, so I'll leave it as it is for now. Just a funny final note: Aave means ghost in Finnish so I decided to add that extra letter A to have that double meaning in the song title.. And it is fitting for this week with halloween/all saints/samhain/kekri.. :D Aave Meduusa (original Finnish lyrics) -------------- Aave Meduusa Hirviöäiti kaunehin Sun vihasi nousee aallon lailla Kunnes syvyyksiin taas uppoaa Ja käärmepää osaa ajatella Mistä patriarkka ei voi aavistaakaan Kun ei osaa kuulla naisen sanaa Anna voimaa jaksaa Elämään naisen kehossa Kun sitä aina tarkastellaan Mutta peilisilmin katseet käännetään Kohti tarkastajaa Tutkikoot jokainen ensin itseään Ja omaa sisintään Niin ehkä voimme oppia elämään rauhassa Sekä yksin että yhdessä Aave Meduusa... Aave Meduusa (lyrics translated to English) --------------- Ave/ghost Medusa Monster Mother most beautiful Your wrath rises like a wave Until it sinks back into the depths A snake head can think thoughts That the patriarchy can have no idea of When it is unable to hear a woman's word Give me strength to go on Living in a woman's body When it's always getting observed But with mirror eyes the gaze is turned back At the observer Let everyone inspect themselves first And their own inner worlds And maybe we can learn to live in peace Both alone and together Ave/ghost Medusa 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 43 - Snyderman - 2 Channel (TED)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 00:18:35 GMT

After a nice vacation, didn't have the mental energy to really push so wanted to make something quick. Decided to toy around with a very limited chip, the "TED" chip in the Commodore Plus/4. It's two channels; one square + one square/noise with lots of funky volume and pitch sharing so it's easy to override the other channel's activity. Figured out a few fun tricks at least. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 27 Oct 2024 00:01:45 GMT

More jungle this week. I hooked up my SR-16 to Renoise via MIDI and started experimenting with programming live breaks on it. I have been inspired by Starpowerdrummer and want to try recreating with a realistic sounding drum machine. It took a minute to set up but now that I have it working more experimenting to come. Another MIDI thing i figured out was how to send a Program Control from Renoise to the Pro-800 to change the preset. I was especially pleased with this because it is undocumented so there was a bunch of experimentation involved. I was also influenced to do field recordings with a contact mic so I have some of that going on too. Thanks for listening! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 43 - Cursory - Feeling Swell

Sat, 26 Oct 2024 21:49:02 GMT

Happy Week 43! Some atmospheric guitar swells this week, some sounds I’ve enjoyed from the Chroma Console pedal. I might have actually liked the swells to be a bit slower than the pedal allows. My WB productivity seems to ebb and flow every few weeks, but I’m getting more okay with being in an eb. Hopefully more high-effort, multi-track things coming soon. This feels like it could be the outro of another song, and I’m sure I’ve heard some similar things before. Very behind on replying to comments (and listening) again, but they really are so appreciated :) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

another collab with the unstoppable Tone Matrix. <3 this song is built on Tone's Week 41 track. that's him on piano, synth, and percussion - recorded while he was in full afib. a true Wizard. i (with permission) added vocals, guitar, and bass guitar and did the final mix. › lyrics‹ lyrics you extend that bitter finger touch salt to my tongue tell me i'm wrong tell me yr sweet tell me the sun isn't hot on my feet you extend those crooked branches rub dirt in my eyes tell me i'm lost and you are the key tell me my heart isn't working for me try to swim my way out of the damage couldn't catch my breath or feel the rhythm i bless i release i turn off all the lights and drive out in the night i was a little nervous coming back to something more complex and layered after the last few weeks of more minimal songs (although those were challenging in their own way), but i feel like i was able to incorporate a lot of things that i learned this year & i'm really happy with how this one turned out. the Tone Matrix stems sounded great already, so it was a fun bit of Tetris to pull the mix together. hope y'all enjoy it, and thank you for listening!

Week 43 - jegasus - The Dissonant Jig

Sat, 26 Oct 2024 16:24:48 GMT

Well hello there! Stay a while and listen! This week's submission is a little different (I feel like I say this too often, hahahaha). I started off with a little piano thing that sounded like a fun little jig, so I started building the tune up from there. I had some fun with the percussion here too, matching the dancy kicks and snares with the more stately sounding piano. What I did differently this time tho is that I purposefully added a few dissonant notes here and there (mostly to the piano and synth lead) to add some flavor and character. In some places I think it worked well, but in others I think it just sounds kind of weird (like in some of the piano chords some things just sound off and not in a good way). I'm not going to have time to work on the tune anymore because I'm out this weekend celebrating my wedding anniversary with my wife. So if this one feels a little underbaked, it's because I'm submitting it early before I had enough time to really sit with it. I'm still happy with what it has going on, though! I'm not sure how, but it feels like it has a couple of key changes or something like that throughout the song, which I don't think I've ever been able to pull off before. Are my ears deceiving me? I don't understand enough about music, I just punch in sounds that feel like they work, hahahaha... I hope y'all have a great week! Peace!!!! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sat, 26 Oct 2024 07:00:15 GMT

Sci-fi surf disco work in progress. Pretty rough. Guitar track is just a guide that I'm piecing together as I'm writing it. There are some parts where I think I might cut the guitar completely, maybe the first parts, and replace them with some swishy synth noises lol. Heavily inspired by The Shadows/Brian Bennett's disco stuff in the late 70s and early 80s. It's called "termy" because the intro originally reminded me of the Terminator soundtrack for some reason. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Something short this week. A friend commissioned me for music for their twitch channel and this is the result. They wanted it to loop so there's a bit of trailing reverb/delay in the start of course. It ended up being a very simple piece, but I love how it came out. As we're nearing the final stretch of WB, I'm struggling to resist the urge to just phone it in for the rest of the year. Really make some bottom of the barrel material. Other option is to make some bangers that are easy and formulaic so I can just coast til January. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I thought I'd go for something with a little bit of a Halloween feel this week.

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 13:23:23 GMT

Busy week (again…) this one, so decided to get this done as soon as I could! A pre-Sunday upload maybe a first for me! Decided to get back on the circuit tracks. Despite its limitations, I do like the workflow and the speed at generating ideas. This riff had been floating around for a while. Wanted to finish it off, but couldn’t think of sections that would go with it, so I’ve basically extended a single riff for 3 mins… Good to get it out there if nothing else! Circuit tracks, retro futurism sound pack (again… but the synths sound awesome…) on everything except pads - pro-vs-mini taking up that duty. Pretty much one riff all the way through with some layering and using the circuit tracks randomised pattern for a “lead”. Hoping for that 80s synthwave/cyberpunky sound again. I think I need to get better at simplifying things on the circuit - maybe stop adding extra synths and really work with the 2 engines that you get, might help me work out other melodic sections rather than layering. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 42 - scy - Unstuck

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 23:47:55 GMT

I had an Ableton Push, never really produced anything with it. Upgraded to a Push 2, same story. Bought a Synthstrom Deluge, which collected dust as well. Then WeeklyBeats came along and forced me to make a track. Every week. I got better. I'm having fun. But the soft touch coating on my Push was all sticky, so I did it all on the Deluge. I've finally cleaned the Push and used it to produce this week's track. And oh boy, is it different from the Deluge. Not better or worse. Different. Having made ~ 40 tracks on the Deluge, the Push seems unnecessarily, almost comically large. Some of its workflow and UX choices feel clunky and slow compared to the Deluge. But the display and the velocity sensitive pads are a really nice change. And I mean, it shouldn't be a surprise, but holy shit, Ableton Live is a whole different beast, sonically, compared to the Deluge's onboard synths and effects. This week's track is somewhat long and ambient, simply to revel in these sounds. However, "switch from the thing you have almost a year of experience with to a DAW you basically haven't touched in years, one day before the deadline" wasn't my brightest idea ever. I ran out of time, the arrangement is rushed and unfinished, and the mastering doesn't deserve that name. But: It's a track, and I'll probably use Ableton more and, again, get better. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Another stream-of-consciousness sound collage track. I started this one after listening to a few Oneohtrix Point Never tracks. This one started as heavy sound textures that broke into a subtle guitar sample, which is where this one stars. Tons of sample chopping, pitch-shifting, manipulating, and tweaking. I also treated this as a test-bed for the new Transit 2 plugin, but it was giving me some issues so I kinda kept it kinda simple as far as layering and automation goes. This is a small snippet from a larger composition. It's kinda neat but I feel like I need to start break some old production habits and try some new things. * Ableton bass synths and Wavetable for more synths and bass * Drum, percussion, pads, sax, trumpet, vocal, texture, etc. samples from Splice * Ableton Simpler for drum sample chopping * Valhalla, Transit, Transit 2 plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: ~6 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

This track started out in Ableton Note with a Drum Kit I loaded with a handful of different vocal samples in the same key that I found on Splice. Then I created a Drum Kit with actual drum sounds that I already had in my library. I decided to use two different sets of kicks and snares with two kicks and two snares in two different patterns. I like the feel of the beat when I do that because it creates a sound more like a real drummer who plays each hit in a pattern at a different volume. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 42 - Cursory - The Set Sun

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 23:22:22 GMT

Happy Week 42! Definitely procrastinated on getting started this week until it was a bit too late. Had a loose structure for a track I thought would be easy to flesh out and record but had some trouble with timing/latency again and couldn’t push through. Either my own sense of rhythm/timing is rapidly deteriorating (oh god >.>) or it’s something simple like my computer is getting old or I’ve accidentally changed some settings in Logic without realizing it. Flipping through old unfinished tracks, this was one where I got stuck after the first “chorus” section. Was able to noodle out the last bit today and get a quick one-mic recording. I have an old Logic file of the first part with some layers/instrumenation, but didn’t give myself time to give this treatment to the whole track. It’s a bit of a slow burn, tbh I’m just here for the loud parts :lol: › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Don’t run, don’t chase the set sun Change can seem certain, you learn until it’s done For how long years feel when young Those fears won’t hurt you, it’s been years Some pains are real, others just seem near For how long years feel when young Well I see them crumble away Time’s tides will wash night from every day You let them lap your feet So you will walk away clean There’s doubt, there’s burned and there’s burned out But if you could let your hair and your guard down For how long you’ve held it all Well I see you turning your fate Imagining clear days through every rain You jump and splash your feet So you will walk away clean 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 42 - LeBernd - FINDING A GROOVE FOR MR. GLITCH

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 23:12:53 GMT

Busy week, hosting a Berlin M8 Meetup in Berlin on Saturday, followed by an almost catatonic sunday. Started this one early and therefore had tons of time for more daring sound design experiments and to figure what story these sounds wanted to tell, so to speak. The result is a little strange, quite minimalist, but I kinda like it. It has restraint, but throws a lot at you at the same time. It used to have a busy bass line that is hinted at in the last section, but I decided it was too much air away from the main attraction, which I think is the groove. If I were to revisit this some day, I'd take more time in building up the sections - but for now, I'm happy! › Technical Bullshit‹ Technical Bullshit Started the main glitch sound using an FM Synth patch. Using the filtered noise operators (NHP/NLP/NBP) and messing with the feedback gives great, gnarly screeches when running into one of the POST distortion types. Abused the ARP/ARC commands and got myself the base for every idea in the track. Also quite happy with the weird harmoy around 1:36 which I got from rendering the melody to a sample together with a bass synth (that doesn't appear anywhere else in the track), chopped it up, distorted and pitched it and played in reverse. Very colorful! A happy accident from showing a fellow M8 user some tricks with the sampler was turning a hihat into a triangle with a high-resonance high-pass filter, cutoff turned up and tuned to the song. Using the CUT command let's you set accents! The lead melody is being played by a WAVSYNTH patch, using one of the wavetables introduced in firmware 4.0. There are so many fun timbres to be discovered, just in one wavetable, using very small amounts of SCAN modulation, i.e. with the envelopes as I did here. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Should it have a better name? Probably. Should I have done something special for Week 42, the number of Life, the Universe and Everything? Probably. Oh well. Learned what a paradiddle was this past week, and got this one started by quoting a rhythmic pattern from a song in a totally different genre (metal) than this wound up being.

Week 42 - miraclemiles - Sustain Gains

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 23:08:10 GMT

Here's the result of something I've been wanting to do for a while: feature my son on the sax-o-ma-phone! He likes the hip hop and the jazz, so with that general direction in mind, I laid down some foundations on the Push: bass, chords and finger drums. I finally managed to get him in the room Saturday night after dinner, he was a little reluctant but he took the leap. Hearing my foundation he immediately had feedback, which was great: moving chords around, changing the key (loving the new Ableton Midi tools that made this easier). Then I sat down on drums and we jammed together with the backing tracks. He got more and more confident as we went and when we were done he said, "I'd do that again." Proud papa here. He's on tenor sax, and he just switched to that this summer from alto to get into the top jazz band at the high school (they only needed a tenor and the teacher thought he could swing it). Can't wait to see how he evolves. He's also starting to make beats in Ableton with friends. I hope experiences like this make a lasting impression and he does stick with music beyond school, but who knows. His path is still unfolding and that's wonderful. We see the gains every day we want to sustain! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 22:35:02 GMT

Spent the entire day working on this track! A few days ago, I put together a playlist for inspiration and also had some AI-generated DnB tracks created to see what the algorithm would come up with. One of those tracks had a Baglama-like riff, which I ended up sampling and weaving into my own track. It was a lot of fun bringing this together, and my old love for Drum and Bass has definitely been reignited.

Week 42 - onezero - Headland of the Birch Trees

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 22:09:25 GMT

Here's a bookend to last week's piece in 7/4, with another take on this time signature. There are similarities, but also differences: faster tempo, a looser structure, and some parts that really leaned into the double-3/4 + 1 structure. (Some maybe wanted more to be 3/4 than 7/4, but I've pulled out the golden shoehorn to make them fit. There might also be some timing wobbles in there, but I've left them.) The usual signal chain, though you'll hear some breakup on the guitar, especially on the bridge pickup in the right channel: each of the three channels got some UA Volt 1 vintage circuit, which breaks up a bit below the clipping threshold. The title comes from Rossbeigh or Ros Beithe (headland of the birch trees) in Ireland, off R564. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 42 - jegasus - Por Favor Para de Cagar no meu Travesseiro

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:46:41 GMT

Well hello, my music making compadres! How did this week treat you? Quite well, I hope! This past week was a super busy one and I unfortunately wasn't able to listen to or comment on almost any other submissions, my apologies for that. And also thank you so much to all the VERY kind comments I got on the last one (pepperonis). Who would have thought that the nipple song would be such a hit? Hahahahaha... Ok, so first and foremost, I need to apologize for what you are about to listen... The instrumental parts here were super fun to mess around with and put together, but for some reason, I really wanted to add in tremendously stupid vocals. I couldn't really think about any interesting or worth adding, until I remembered an inside joke I had with my brothers from when we lived together. We once had these neighbors who were quite the handful. They were a family of three siblings in their fifties and their elderly mom. We shared a wall and we could hear them often engaging in wild fights and shouting matches. At one point, we heard someone shouting that something had happened to their pillow. We couldn't make out what they actually said, but we started imitating them saying "VOCÊ CAGOU NO MEU TRAVESSEIRO!!!!", which translates to "You shit on my pillow!". Even now, more than twenty years later, we still quote that insanity to each other and laugh about it quite a bit. So when I remembered that whole "you shit on my pillow" thing, I thought it'd be kind of funny to record what it would sound like to have someone politely asking a third party to please stop shitting on their pillow. And that just so happens to be what the title of the song means. This is an absolutely dumb song. Probably one of the dumbest I've ever made. And that's really saying something!!! Hahahahaha... I hope this nonsense sounds at least a little bit fun. Looking forward to listening to what y'all've been cooking up this past week!!!! Cheers, musical homies! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 42 - Devieus - Charged Dolu

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:45:52 GMT

Time for something different. No real power chords out of my guitar other than those arepeggiated. You can call them charged chords if you like, and it would fit okay, but really, it was a generated word (the file has it as "cherged", but this is nicer). That also goes for Dolu, it probably means nothing, it was generated. Aside from the melody and the sound of the instruments, very little else was. There's plans of following up on this format for a few weeks, there's some creativity not yet explored, but who knows what that's going to look like. Big thanks to the birds for covering up any mistakes I made during the guitar playing. You probably can't tell, that means they're doing their work very well. - Spider 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:28:16 GMT

Nothing like a bit of a techno journey. Lots of Access Virus all being processed through my modular skiff. I also put some percussion samples through the Assima8or sequenced using missed opportunities. I had a blast sequencing and sound design this week so much that I had to stop myself. I could have doubled the length of this track given another week.Really rough mix, once again just the stereo out from the Digitakt into Ableton using the exact same chain from the past couple of weeks (I didn't even move a dial) Turns out I couldn't actually double the length, the first upload was 19MB, second upload was 16.7MB, third upload 16.1 MB. Fourth time a charm at 15.9MB. I hope everyone is staying healthy and grounded as we all fall towards the new year. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:25:07 GMT

Haven't been here for awhile since I haven't been able to finish anything, but this week I wrote a song that I really want to perfect. I'm in between two different versions here so I just uploaded both (with a quick little transition in between to put some space in between) But I'm torn on which one to go with haha I was thinking of maybe adding a bridge or more instrumental in the middle of it later on. Looking forward to feedback on anything in it (writing, performance, mixing, etc)! --- Lyrics: Singing bird, oh won’t you stay Don’t dream of home so far away I’ll be by your side Right now And always When you move, a dream you make And On and on things start to change But after all this time You’ll find That it’s always you and me In your wake, a song you sang It takes my heart, now yours to claim Through the end of time You’ll find That it’s always you and me 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 42 - Daisy - Halloween

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 21:00:37 GMT

I started with something calm-- then went into something frantic. I featured a tuba with a melodic line. When things got frantic the Tuba thunders, the strings rise in 1/2 steps. I wanted to call it Introduction and Scandal. I pictured myself on my usual walk, and then caught a glimpse of the neighbors house and saw some weird-unbelievable scary things going on in the front yard-- and got myself home where I slammed the door and caught my breath. My husband said just call it Halloween. Perhaps there will be children trick or treating in my neighborhood, and something truly scared them. Maybe... it was me? I do a really good witches laugh-- I have promised my family I would never ever do again--I has been over ten years.... Halloween is coming up..... But..... I promised I wouldn't. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 42 - hhuwoa - 42. was it worth it?

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 20:33:45 GMT

42. was it worth it? callback to sub letting using field recordings from this same house where i stayed in april. this time in very heavy rain, with water spilling off the roof onto the porch. huge 3-day rainstorm passed through here. the meteorologists call it an "atmospheric river". trip has been more fun than the last one in some ways and much less fun in others. this was the third week here - time to reflect. time to face some consequences, feel some pain. learn some lessons - maybe. appropriately, it seems some flavours of in vain and carry me into the night seeped into this track. that hadn't been my intention but i like the result, as this is sort of chapter 2 of that whole trip i was on at the time, after all. this needs more but as with many wb tracks it's "finished enough". there's a half baked alternate version using the forward guitar sample instead of the backwards. might polish that one up and put it somewhere. the final section is part of the recording where i had the "guitar" chords playing on loop in the background while recording the rain at the door, having the music playing in the actual space. hhuwoa on soundcloud - 42. was it worth it? 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Welcome to spooky season week three! My dear friend Diana, a great and powerful witch, provided vocals for this week's mid-tempo spooky techno track and they are absolutely terrifying. Thank you Diana! It's good to know someone will know where I'll go when I die. Created on the M8 once again, which will finally get its battery replaced if I get time today now that the song is safe and sound. I am pushing the 8-track limit a little. Final mix was done in Ableton, the creepy poetry added there as well. No Jenny Holzer truism this week - kind of made my own, as you'll hear. › Creepy poetry, by me, read by Diana‹ Creepy poetry, by me, read by Diana Mirror, mirror, quake and shiver Blood-dimmed glass and frenzied fever What there lurks beneath the stain, Gazing back with ravenous eyes?

I saw the news that the magazine "Computer Music" had ceased publication. I was saddened by the news, as I loved purchasing the magazine and getting the sample packs. While they have been digital access the last couple of years, I remember I still had the CDs and DVDs that were originally packed in with the magazine. So, using a program that I first remember reading about in CM (along with a regular tutorial feature they had in the magazine for several years), I pulled some of the earliest discs I could find and used those samples in this week's track. I built out several instruments from bass and pads to arpeggiated synths and drums and built out a fakebit/chip style track. I think I'm going to keep going back and exploring these discs and seeing what I can pull out from them. Long live Computer Music. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Because SBAM is awesome! I really need to remake it in Max and like export it as a M4L instrument and/or JUCE it or something. At least, I have to play with it more often.

Another week where I leave everything to the last minute, then end up being busy with other stuff and have to cram in another last minute special… Continuing the generative chiptune experiment. All m8, some patches made by me, most presets by avrilcadabra. As usual, heavy use of chance and randomising notes, using seed again to make repeatable sections. Added a few parameters in the tables, so the bass keeps the same note for a bar but oscillates to the octave to give movement etc. Tried adding a few different sorts of synths and feel like I’ve thrown too much into it this time! Still, quite impressed by the melodies generated by the device! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 42 - mukti - BATI

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 19:35:38 GMT

For the first time this year, I set out to create a DnB track at the beginning of the week, and continued with it through to submission time. I built a basic drum sequence and bassline, then sampled scenes from Blade Runner that featured either Roy Batty or Eldon Tyrell (responding to Roy). I also tried to play with Roy's howl in the ending scenes of the movie, trying to make it feel a bit more like a siren/instrument. I think the vocals are still a bit meh after trying to clean them up, but they mostly work. Overall pretty happy with this one! Any critical feedback is appreciated! Since this was filled with lots of beats and drum... hits... I called this one BATI, the basic Esperanto word for "to hit." I also though it was fitting because of the similarity of "BATI" to (Roy) Batty, and some of the glitched vocal samples also (kind of) sound (almost) like a woman saying "BAH TEE". I might be stretching the pronunciation and meaning of the language a bit on this one! The image this week is a recording of my m8 screen while playing this track, glitched together with a picture of Roy Batty: 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

this song is named after my friend Jake, a budding m8 user. We were hanging out and talking about m8 when I started this track so it is named after him. continuing with my sort of minimalist writing/maximalist effects approach as of late. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 42 - horatiuromantic - HEMNE - Hydrasynth Explorer Meets Nord Electro

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 17:40:33 GMT

a jam on my own while a bit ill. this is the first ~6 minutes of the full performance you can see on youtube. the concept was to use the organ on the nord electro (which I fixed recently and is in tip top condition, had it since 2009) and the hydrasynth to create similar sound layers and bounce between them. had the inspiration after watching "Evil does not exist" with music by Eiko Ishibashi. very nice, recommended. it was a full improvisation but I'm not fully satisfied with the performance because it could use more thematic phrases, this one is a bit all over the place. I noticed this afterwards but didn't have energy to do another one. but whatev. I'm sick. can't focus. better than nothing. oh and contributed some vocals to home taping association, not sure if it made it into their final piece but let's see! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Both my piano and improvisation skills are at beginner level, so it's nothing too sophisticated. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 42 - Tone Matrix - My Soul Is So Afraid To Realize

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 16:16:06 GMT

Hello frainds, I've been trying to combat the creaky, achey, breakiness that is my body the past few weeks. Sitting at my desk (where I work on music) has apparently been taking it's toll on me. Afibs and chest oddness o'plenty. For the past 5 weeks I've been walking and doing a mini stretch routine at the local park. Something to get me out of the house and breathing some fraish air and out of my dungeon. Unfortunately it hasn't made a difference yet other than a bit of those positive endorphins from getting out. So my stubborn ace finally made another appointment to see the whitecoats this Friday. **fingers/toes criss-crossed** :) So since I've been avoiding my throne of slouch that meant I put off everything til Saturday evening. I remembered way back in Week 34 (before I took a left turn at Albuquerque and ended up in space for about 6 weeks) that I had a sorta droney/ambient loop sitting in that folder. Two big pads are from Spitfire's 'Albion One' library. The drums are from Butch Vig's drum library. So a few filter applications and rearrangings led to me doing one take of rhodesy epiano over top. A tiny jam with Week 34 me. :p If I were to pick my nits, I'd say I tried to make this session as quick as possible. I did not dedicate any time to the mix, eq, vol etc. But all in all I'm happy with at least finding a lil niche for this previously unused progression. Where did this year go? 10 more!? :o **straps in, goggles down, mouth-piece bit** GO!! ps. I hope you are well and look forward to this final fall run with yewz all. <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 15:47:36 GMT

This one is a bit of practice in not rushing song sections and letting things linger a bit. I ended up scrapping a project I had been working on all week, just wasn't feeling it. I'll likely revisit but I started a new thing last night and really dig it this morning so I expanded a bit on it and here it is! Not the most complex song and really had to push myself to let things sit and develop despite feeling like some parts might repeat a bit too much. But hey, weekly beats is all about experimentation.

A random thought at work yesterday was 'bombs away, put your bombs away'. I didn't think much of it, but when I started working on something today, I was imagining a chant lyric of some sort, so here we are. I suspect the basic music pattern is either lifted from elsewhere or lifted from something I've already done for WB (or both), but I tried for a less typical-of-me style so it's at least different in other ways. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 14:03:52 GMT

I tried a bit of a more conventional song structure this week, and to have a strong melody line running through. I'm pretty happy with the result, but I found it hard to balance adding elements to build out the song to support the melody, without going of course and burying it in layers. It also didn't help that the starting motif was the genesis of the song and while it lead me to the melody I came up with, it also battled for attention in the song.

Left my job after 10 years. Received a volca drum as a gift. Made my first jam on this little synth. I can finally make minimal techno, somewhatish. It's hard to listen to with all the bubbly bass and kicky paramities I set (酔っぱらい的wな設定、意味なし). I played it in front of friends from my old job and they liked it. It's not final but an unabridged version amongst them. I'm still exploring how to sonically beat this drum machine to smithereens. The same asshat gave me the "bad bad bad badged bad badbadbadbabdabdabbdbad" CLAP.　So I'm just 大丈夫 when I ask for a bag, which sucks.

Week 42 - lament.config - Never Sleep Again...

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 11:28:50 GMT

It wasn't the plan to do the big 4 over Halloween but if I've already visited Michael and Bubba then it was only natural Freddy would be next. While The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is (in my opinion) the greatest horror movies ever made, A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) would be my favorite, a warm blanket of a movie. I wanted to create a sense of claustrophobia, trapped in a boiler room and the dread closing in. To do this I used one of Elphnt's Max for Live devices, whereby I widened the first of the high pitched noises as wide as the device would allow then each of the subsequent noises were brought in closer and closer to the centre. Those noises was an attempt to invoke the sound of Freddy scraping his knives across a pipe. I also wanted to blow all the sounds out like they are in the film...but I think I went to far. Made in Ableton...found in a furnace. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Planning for wedding. Looking at venues for the real deal version w/ family and friends. Guest lists. Planning care package for brother and TC about Alphonse. Met with D to finish up organizing practice space. Power cable and gear spread sheets. Talked about plans for Delorean Overdrive and work load for upcoming cross country gig. a lot on scope, stage management, and logistics of travel with gear. Conversations about artistic freedom when money is not involved. On our halloween movie kick with AL. Syntakt update release drama. Discord. Talked about friends who have transitioned and remembered their struggle. Hope they are well. Been years. Bike day out with Partner around town. Talked about needs and communication. On the ride grabbed coffee, picked up some supplies from Diaso, and stopped in the park to read talk and play. Had dinner at the german place w/ T and K. Sold Strymon El Capistan. Talked about time in art world when we were young. Gallery hoping, drinking, playing shows, school, wierd scenes, and debaucherous. Fitting in and realizing things are predatory and a scam. Not everyone is bank rolled. Doing things for the sake of doing them and having a need to for continuing making. Next day went to visit L, R, and P. Had a nice day walking P around. AL talked about our Childish Gambino Tickets due to canceled tour. Canceled appointments with CL until the 4th (after legal wedding). Received voting ballot. Frustrated and deeply saddened about worker politics and Gaza. Continually un-optimistic and skeptical but hoping to see change. Do what we can locally. Thinking of time pushing for worker organization and solidarity. AL shared passages from book Abolish Scillicon Valley. Dread but also optimism about working again. Clearer path this week. Thinking a lot about Optimism of web 2.0 and slow colonization of the internet by corporations with min maxing algorythms (takes over thoughts for years now). Lovely evening walk and talks with AL (feeling lucky and grateful).

Structure built on mutes and improvised parameter tweaking. Decided to film the session. It's been a while. Ran out of natural light but didn't want to wait. A bit rushed in result. Grain and poor lighting to prove it. Used Stereo recording. Stacked some of the stems to boost volumes on certain frequencies and help with stereo spread in post processing. Mastered and exported. Made 2 exports. Video export is closer to original mix. Uploaded mix is more balanced to my ears. Happy with the session. Less happy with the video. Could have spent more time.

Week 42 - CatchinAshes - The Syntax Shuffle

Sun, 20 Oct 2024 09:44:49 GMT

Attending the Syntax demo party has always been a highlight of my year, and this time was no exception. The energy and creativity at Syntax Demoparty are unparalleled, and this year, I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with some amazing artists to create a track that I’ve titled “The Syntax Shuffle.” Over the weekend, we passed my Gameboy around the room, bouncing back and forth with Dok, OneHitKill, Xzxxzy, Aday, TommityTom, and myself. Creating music in such an unconventional way was an absolute blast. Each artist brought their flavor to the mix, resulting in a track that is as diverse as it is cohesive. The spontaneity of passing the Gameboy around meant that no one knew exactly what the next person would add, making the process exciting and full of surprises. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Really cool experience this week where I just reduced the number of modules I was using, back in a smaller case. Manis Iteritas being pushed with modulation from the Serpens Ara and a Korg SQ-1. Lots of sequence messing around. I don't use melodies often, however it was nice finding a good one with the Pam's Pro. This was part of a huge hour long recording, it was really hard deciding what to release for WB, and what might be used for a future release. Less is more. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

The bass is a wavsynth saw, all percussions are the standard M8 samples, bells are my usual fmsynth patches, and there's two synth samples for more fun.

this is the song I wanted to make, after I had the lucky and nice chance to get a monochord treatment and could record it at the same time at my friends place. The monochord is laying on the body and you mainly feel the sounds. it is tuned to 432 Hz. this is as close I could get to the increadible experience, in a song format. I also had the chance to play some clarinet to the gongs, he uses for gongbath sessions. I added some effectpedalstuff at home and constructed an intro of the birds around my house, with 2 mics out of the windows. I wanted to create the stereoimage that my house would hear, if it had ears. I am very proud to say, that this record lath came out very good. I changed the length of the needle by accident. After 42 records this year I think I made an improvement. The whole thing does not sound like 1938 anymore. And making such a long track on the Wilcox recordio always is very risky. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 42 - Paisleyfrog - Barbara

Sat, 19 Oct 2024 17:42:09 GMT

More spooky season music, and bringing the noise. lament.config had used samples from Night of the living Dead a few weeks ago, and it was really inspiring. I had used these particular NotLD samples eight or so years ago and decided to revisit them - also, "They're coming to get you, Barbara" is iconic. Childish and creepy. Also one of the best opening sequences in a horror movie ever. Tried a few new techniques in this one - first, was actually putting my samples into a sampler and playing them, rather than clipping and dragging regions. I love the kind of sample chopping that MRDRCAT does, and wanted to try it out. I didn't do it a ton, but it was fun to try. I often let dialog just play, but I wanted to isolate some samples this time. Also tried out the tempo track to add space at points in the song. I've done that before by physically dragging my regions, but that messes up the session drummer. So, I just dropped the tempo to extend it out a bit. Worked well, but there were spots where you can hear some glitching from the tempo change on echo and delay. Considering how noisy the track is anyway, it's not really an issue. Also added a slowdown to the end like the band was ending. Also played around with some glitch effects - really liked the added texture and randomness it gives. It's most evident in the percussion, but I also added it to a layer of guitar to add some noise. The bridge is mainly three layers of the “groundskeeper eats Johnny” sequence. I like how it sounds like Johnny is drunkenly telling a story while Barbara is in mortal peril. The guitars are maybe a little close to week 28. But I guess if I'm gonna plagiarize anyone, it should be myself. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

··· I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if needed, just ask. Seeing Josh and Cursory mass-producing amazing songs week after week, I always wished to get better at guitar myself. I only got one in 2020, but never really got any good at it. I recently discovered the bizarre world of 5-string guitars and the DAEAD tuning in particular. I blogged about this in more detail, here it's enough to say that this was the push I needed to start practicing. To put things in perspective, there's literally 16 different guitar chords in this tune. That's not something I was ever able to do with standard tuning. The track today was supposed to be just solo guitar, but once I started adding things, it was hard to stop. No vocals, though. It became unexpectedly progressive, I wonder what you think of it. 126 BPM, B-major, 4/4. Yamaha Revstar recorded separately for the left and right channel. Also captured acoustic string reverberation (and buzz) via a condenser mic nearby. Bass from Opsix. Drums played on Yamaha FGDP-50, two layers. Solo synth from Iridium. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

vcv rack again this week. I ended up playing with a number of things that I definitely think I'm going to be keeping going forward. one thing I really liked was cv mixing the melody. I have a random melody from turing machine, a fixed melody from a sequencer that's basically just octave jumps, and a second random melody from the turing machine volts expander. you're always hearing the octave jump sequence, and every 4 bars it's randomly mixed with either one or both of the turing machine lines. you get that happy brain pattern from the fixed line, and then we've got 3 options for what notes get played. if I adjust the turing machine to get new notes, we get _3_ new lines that all act off of each other. definitely something I want to try and emulate in hardware now. I've also realized that with melodies pulled from the aether like this, shorter is better. I can generate and quantize a massive sequence of musical, logically played notes in a scale, but unless we're shooting for remaking eruption, shorter grooves way better. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sat, 19 Oct 2024 06:34:32 GMT

I'm reading the book Trouble Boys which is a fantastic biography of The Replacements, and apart from being fired up about all the punk and rock and roll there was a line that struck me. Paul Westerberg said, "In general, music that's flawless is usually uninspired." So while my girlfriend was at the gym for an hour, I quickly recorded some guitar and vocals and spent another couple of hours putting some more stuff over it. I only have an acoustic guitar and a midi keyboard right now so I did my best. I mixed down a version and then started trying to mix it and clean it up but I was quickly sucking the life out of it -- so this is that first mixdown. It's probably the most energetic thing I've made since my high school days. Enjoy! › The lyrics are vaguely about some clown I keep seeing on the tv.‹ The lyrics are vaguely about some clown I keep seeing on the tv.

I really like this track in a dazed high, but the more I listen to it the more I dislike and want to fix it. I knew I didn't have the time to do the work I want on it, so it's a catch and release scenario. Just riffed a little on my jazzmaster and it had some Godspeed you Black Emperor sensibilities and so I went with it. Probably coulda gone a lot lighter on the delays and not just shoved that synth arp in there in the second section. It does have a fun and cathartic buildup and release though.

Week 42 - Minnamari - Four Birds

Thu, 17 Oct 2024 16:05:01 GMT

This song is dedicated to the four birds that flew against our windows. I'm ashamed it had to be so many, until I finally did some research about what would help the most, and got some curtains (I researched it, and it seems light curtains in particular help to reduce the reflection and thankfully no more birds have flown into the glass these last weeks so I hope it will stay that way). This was a very spontaneous song that came through the same day as bird number four happened. I recorded it by my keyboard, the microphone swallows some sounds but I think it's good enough for such a spontaneous recording and I feel I managed to express the emotion. Lyrics: Why would you kill two birds with one stone? I don't even want to kill the one but a third bird flew against the window and now it's time to dig a hole below the oak tree, it told me, that it wants to guard these tiny bones We pick flowers, purple, pink, yellow, white and blue, and lift the little body in, maybe sing a little tune saying, be at peace, farewell, or enjoy living a new life somewherever that may be, hope you fly free Why would you kill two birds with one stone? I don't even want to kill one but a fourth bird flew and hit the glass just like before and now it's time to dig grave number four why do these windows have to be so damn large for? It wasn't my idea, who knew, that just to have this lovely view four birds would pay for it with their lives, these little birds that flew into that lovely, lovely view and found out it was glass, not a tree Be at peace, or fly free somewherever you may be Be at peace, or fly free I promise to get some curtains 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

In addition, I use LFOs to influence velocity ranges for each instrument to have them flow in and out of the beat.

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 04:52:56 GMT

Ok... it feels VERY strange submitting on Monday... but here we are. I'm kind of double dipping on this one, as this is a track I did this week for a class assignment... hence why I finished it on Monday... but I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out. This track was mostly done on the Tracker Mini. I sampled most of the sounds from VCV Rack over the last couple weeks, with the exception of the second lead voice, that's the trackers WTFM synth engine. Then I did the final mix down and master in Logic. Gotta say I'm really digging the workflow on the Tracker Mini, it's just very immediate and intuitive (for me anyway). I'm really looking forward to getting a few more tracks done with it, though the newest beta community firmware for the Deluge has multi-track stem exports ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ!!!! FINALLY!!! Which is like the one feature that has prevented it from fully being my daily driver. I mean it lets you do a LOT to mix in the box, and there are a few work arounds for getting multi-track recordings out, but they are tedious. So, I feel like having multi-track export means there's gonna be a LOT more Deluge music making in my near future. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - Napear - Rack'm Up

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 23:51:36 GMT

I have a couple irons in the fire at present that are going to take a little longer to get them where I want them, so this week is another VCV Rack Jam. Conveniently most of my focus for school this week has been sound design anyway, so I've had an excuse to be patching away. I tried to tone down the CPU intensive stuff this week to get something that I could record in one pass... I didn't quite pull that off, so there are a few little digital artifacts sneaking around in there that weren't intended and I did have to turn the sample rate down a bit to get it to record without major glitches... but still a fun exercise. I did find as I was mixing that something went wrong with the stereo imaging in the multi-track, so I got all my stems this week, but they were basically all in mono, and I had to do a little rescue work so it wasn't sooo bland, but I lost a lot of ping-pong effects and the like... I guess these are all just good arguments for using VCV Rack as a plugin in Logic rather than doing everything it it... sigh... I digress. I had indented to add some transitions and maybe some old movie samples or the like, but I just ran out of time. I also tried like three different melodic lines with it, and I just kept hating everything I put on it. I'm generally terrible about coming back to things after I have marked them as "done" in my head, but this one has strong potential for a V2. At any rate, I really feel like I have a good workflow for the Keystep Pro (which is like 60% of why I wanted to do these). So there may be a few more of these type of things coming down the pipe... though the next ones are more likely to be with hardware than VCV Rack I think ʅ（´◔౪◔）ʃ. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - tarsiidea - Searching For Clues

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 23:48:59 GMT

I started this one by chopping up an old loop of mine with some synthy chords. The beat evolved a lot along the way, but I got stuck in loop land and couldn't work out how to get the song to build out of it. And I struggled with how to get the melody I heard in the chords to be carried by other instruments in the mix without it all getting muddled. If I had more time I would have liked to expand the song out so the first melodic idea comes back and to have the energy build throughout the song, but I guess that's a goal for next weeks beat. I still had a lot of fun making this one! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - Tomatron.Jones - Let's Pretend (v3) (In the Style of Temples)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 23:48:29 GMT

I saw the British psych-rock band Temples play this week so I was inspired to try to create something in a similar vein so I noodled around with my 'Let's Pretend' chords on bass and guitar. I tried the psych-rock sound of Temples - compressed drums, big and fuzzy bass, vintageyy, low-mid heavy sound. Unfortunately chords and melody aren't necessarily in the psych-rock vibe, and I neglected the guitar tone the synths as well. I'm not in love with the arrangement either, I ran out of time, kinda did weird stuff with automating the BPM and transposing a B-section. Anyway, I'm not in love with it but it was interesting and I have much more to practice for getting that vintage rock sound. * Fender Strat guitar + generic 'Fender' P-bass * Neural DSP Plini and Guitar Rig 6 for guitar processing * Ableton Wavetable + Helm Plugin for Synths * Drum samples from Splice * Valhalla, Transit, RC-20 plugins * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: 4.5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Well, I sat down to bounce this song and upload it, and Ableton decided to do a full plug-in scan including some that I was using. I'm glad I gave myself a small window of time so I can still get this uploaded in time! This song is in 13. I count it as two measures of 4 followed by one in 5. I started another track in 4/4, but I wasn’t inspired to finish it. I am really liking working in non-standard time signatures. I can see myself taking a track like this further if I were able to spend more time with it. I started out in Ableton Note, which only lets you have a metronome running in 4/4. So I had to create a beat to keep time to and then adjust the length of each scene to be 13 steps. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 41 - laguna - Dark water

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 23:06:46 GMT

I found this one quite advanced inside the 2023 projects folder, however the beat felt quite stale on the early arrangement so I tried hard to add some variation in order to make it less monotone. The sparse melody is really one line of Native Instruments Rounds and two of its bounces, slightly out of sync (like a sixteenth note or so). Nothing really that clever, but like in techno, I take some of those tracks in and out every 4 or 8 bars trying to add some interest. The beat comes from the killer 808 start of the super dope killer ballad "Lady in red" by Chris de Burgh... and I DO f***ing love that song :) So yeah, not every powerful drum machine is on an 80's electro record. I chopped it manually on my Akai s3000xl... and some day I must finish the whole song that was programmed with it. Hope you enjoy this one. It's nothing too fancy, but I'm glad I finished something with at least an hour of margin. Lots of love to you, WB people around the world !!! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Unfortunately I then proceeded to have a Very Good Weekend, which resulted in Not Much Sleep. So I didn't make a fleshed out track, just quickly expanded the loop and rendered.

Week 41 - horatiuromantic - Hold my hand (and push me off a ledge, but hold it tight so you can save me)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 22:25:37 GMT

Here's my new song that I'm still kinda working on that I composed this week (or last, but "finished" as much as a song is ever finished, this week). It's an intense, heartfelt and absurd ballad with some wacky deep lyrics that truly transcended the dream world to come through me into this one. I played it live for Copenhagen Listening Room last Sunday, and that's the version you can hear on weeklybeats. I played it again this past Wednesday at Blågårds Apotek where I had a 30-minute solo set, and that's where Dave took a video of me, if you wanna check out the second version (the piano is far more wack but the song features more profanity and a hidden bridge that I skipped in the first one). › Story‹ Story I woke up one day and had the main chorus in my head - "Hold my hand and push me off a ledge, but hold it tight so you can save me". There is something pure about this feeling, a reckless abandon, a yearning for self destruction and salvation through trust, and also something very absurd and contradictory about it which I absolutely love. The rest of the lyrics are literal mumbles I recorded into my phone right after waking up, afraid to open my eyes from fear that I would forget even a single word. They came to me as you hear them, mostly, and I transcribed them from the recording. They weren't in tempo or anything, and there was a bit of adjusting to fit the music and a bit of rhyming but mostly it's clean cut from the dream. Which makes this song my ~4th song from a dream. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. I took longer to make the latest songs I've been making (I don't count the weird quiet day and noise uploads as songs), but they have gotten quite good if you ask me. I'm very excited to record them in the studio eventually, for now I am practicing them live around town and it's a blast! After playing it twice to a live audience, I got a lot of good reactions and love from the audience and fellow musicians. This song is definitely something and I can't wait to record it properly someday, I intend to give it a nice orchestral treatment - maybe not as cheezy as some of my older work (or maybe even cheezier still - I think it has a lot of capacity for cheese) but in any case it can support a lot of nice layers because the core is quite sparse and goes from very soft all the way to high intensity at the end. The only thing it needs compositionally is a stronger or better defined bridge. It's basically there, but the melody is not so clear, the chords are not so clear, and the transition to and from it could use some work. In the WB version, as opposed to the blue video version, I do some nicer stuff near the end - because I sang some lines out of order by mistake, I had to reinvent the melody, and it worked v well because the change was needed. On the other hand, I am not too tight with the entrances so for example I wanna say "Hold" right on top of the piano chord, rather than a bit later. Ehh anyway, it was a blast to play it! I love this song and I hope you will enjoy it thoroughly! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics (note that these are my lyrics from my notes, but I misread them, I think in both versions, so what you read here is not exactly what is heard) We made it again to the promise land The questions we never got to the bottom of Iiiii can see the lights at the end Ain't there a bigger truth than a lie It's a mystery and a deep concern How we shall ever love one another We might just fall into a great hole And get smashed up against each other Iiii never thought I could learn to fly expanding my infinite horizon in truth I expected to crawl like a worm for the rest of my pitiful existence R Hold my hand and push me off a ledge But hold it tight so you can save me Hold my hand and push me off a ledge But hold it tight so you can save me Pull my finger and grab me by the hair you always knew how to bless me I don't need you, need anyone can be alone forever Read my lips as I tell you to fuck off The online spaghetti of nanofiber dreams The spider in my bathroom sings loudly of his daughter I sit and weep in the shoooower R hold my hand I could see you there in the foggy dark reflecting the lights of the fireflies all them pretty bugs would love to fly around circling and entering your eyes you had your tongue out and shake your head ain't nothing like it so scary I stopped to breathe and you punch me in the throat I gasp and remember beauty bridge??? oh you treat me so nice and kind I couldn't believe the power in your voice to save and cure my weary mind you're gravitational and I never had a choice You found me in the dark lookin like a fool look like a scary motherfucker (bastard) I tell you no lie if I die right now I'll still remember your laughter R hold my hand self destruction that's the name of the game isn't my life so special? Iiiii'm closing my eyes to time ain't nothing that I can't see walking in a straight line into paths I never seen feeling the rocks from under my feet thru the blood and callouses watching close as my eyes start to bleed I become a walking fountain eventually I lay myself down on the side of the mountain R won't you hold my hand and push me off a ledge but hold me tight so you can save me 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Plot twist this week! Structure and chord changes, haha. I was making this song on my multitrack recorder, but then ended up doing it on the m8 (which is usually the opposite of what happens). I like how it came out on the m8, but I plan to make a "live" version of is still, once I have time to work out the lyrics a bit more. The song is about how I hate people telling you to smile - you might be able to "hear" it in the pre-chorus "Why don't you smile more?". I'll try and post up the lyrics I have so far when I have a chance. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 41 - jegasus - Don't Touch My Pepperonis

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 22:05:33 GMT

Howdy, music peeps!!! Hope y'all had a great week! Were you able to go to that thing you said you wanted to go to? That sounded nice. First of all, thank you so so much for the incredibly kind comments on my last submission. I have so much fun making those comedy raps, but they take A LOT out of me for some reason (even though I feel like I've rewritten basically the same song almost three times by this point, hahahaha) I definitely want to do at least one more comedy rap before the year ends, but I don't know when exactly that'll happen. So, after making that goofy ass song, I felt a little depleted musically and didn't find much inspiration anywhere. I started two or three little projects that didn't really go anywhere beyond a tiny little loop or a cool sound. And then, I made this bass line which felt super fun and I started building on top of it, having lots of fun with the percussive elements. I was sitting on the living room couch and messing around with the tune while my wife was watching something on TV - she is a saint for putting up with my music making during TV time, hahahahaha... Anyways, I had most of the elements already going and she started singing "Nipple" along with the beat. I thought it was kinda funny, so I sampled her doing the same thing and used it to make some cool silly vocal chops. We then discussed what the name of the song should be and we came up with "Don't Touch My Pepperonis". Makes total sense, right? After I added her vocals to the track and rendered the song, I felt that there was still something missing... And then it hit me: the title of the song would fit perfectly to the beat! So I sampled myself saying the line a couple of times and chopped it up. This started out as a SUPER DUPER low effort tune and turned out as one of the things I most laughed while making. By the way, my apologies about the mixing. I just listened to the final render while walking my dog and noticed that there are two voices that are WAAAAYYYY too loud (the saw wave that comes in at the halfway mark and my vocal samples). Sorry y'all, it seems like I still haven't been able to get a grip on how to master my tracks appropriately. As a side note, I guess I was a little envious of folks like jwh & emily and Paisleyfrog who get to collaborate musically with their partners, so I wanted to enter the exclusive couples-making-music-for-weekly-beats group. Does this count? I sure think it does! Hahaahahahaha.... Anyways, take care of each other out there, folks! Looking forward to listening to what you've cooked up this week!!! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!!! JUST ELEVEN MORE WEEKS!!! Peace, y'all!!!! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 41 - miraclemiles - Preparing

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:56:12 GMT

Decided to keep it simple this week. I was focussing my energy on preparing for a short gig that could lead to more opportunities. Will be sitting in on drums with a band for a few songs later tonight. Kind of jazzy funky stuff which I enjoy playing. Practicing the songs a lot, I want to nail it, but still a little anxious about it. So I decided to do a jam, hope for the best, and make a track out of just that. This setup is something I'm exploring to see if I could turn this into something to play live. Not there yet, but has some potential perhaps. So what you see on the video is all that's in the track: handpan, handsonic through the 505 looper. All sounds from those instruments, and only edits were cutting parts out for length since it was 20 minutes long. The looper can be a lot of fun, and with some happy accidents on loops and the FX chains led to some happy accidents and parts I liked, thinking more as basis for building upon, but I stuck to the plan and only kept sounds from the jam. Recorded video for posterity, added some quick video FX in CapCut. 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Week 41 - mzunguko - WINE

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:54:18 GMT

Been listening to this one with my eyes closed all day. Cruising the streets of a broken city in an old Caddy, taking in the sights as the sun goes down. Parts of the city shutting down, bodegas gathering their goods outside on the sidewalk, the daily garbage is just starting to pile up on the curb. Other parts of the city are just to wake up getting ready for the evening action as a light rain begins to fall. No destination in mind just out for a cruise. › Show Spoiler‹ Hide SpoilerPerhaps a bit heavy handed on the MS-22 filter overdrive but I really liked the over-driven dust it added to the track. Using the same modular skiff as the previous week, sampled 8 mono tracks into the Assimil8or, fed that through the filter and then resampled into the Digitakt for pretty much everything but the drums. Virus was on Sub duties and the bloops. I spent about half the week finding samples, by midweek I found the vocal samples that seemed to fit the mood. Really rushed arrangement and mix, I finally had to stop fiddling with it, tracked the stereo out from the Digitakt song arrangement and a pretty simple mastering chain and called it done. Pretty satisfied with the final result (though I always feel I could spend another week or so mixing/mastering) I hope you all had a great week.

Growing up I listened to whatever was on the radio or what Indian music my Dad was listening to. In 1986 I discovered Hip Hop and that changed everything for me, loved it, obsessed over it, it was all I listened to until I started University. I then opened my mind and realized there is so much other brilliant music out there to listen to and enjoy. I only discovered Aphex Twin in the mid to late 90's, I was blown away by Selected Ambient Works Vol I. I then listend to Selected Ambient Works Vol II and was surprised with how different it was, I had never heard this "ambient" music before and the sounds were so unique and foreign yet so pleasing. That album has always remained very important to me, so it was with great delight that on October 1 I was able to grab a copy of the vinyl repress of SAW II. I don't think I have been so excited about buying an album since "Wu-tang Forever." As a bonus the record shop even threw in a SAW II poster! Have been listening to that album all week, they did a great job of pressing the vinyl, this weeks track is loosely inspired by the album. Thanks for listening, and everyone give SAW II a listen this week. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - neon liminal - much was decided before you were born (spectral door - spooky season two)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:30:58 GMT

Spooky season week two was a struggle - my M8 battery is suddenly not holding charge longer than an hour, I can't seem to hear anything accurately, and it took three masters to get something that was listenable ... I just don't have the time I need to focus. I'd aimed for something a little more low-key and open mix this week but I've arrived somewhere busier than I'd like. It's a learning process. It's also descending rapidly into industrial which I don't mind, but there's things I want to learn about mid-tempo bass techno that I'm missing. Jenny Holzer truism this week is "MUCH WAS DECIDED BEFORE YOU WERE BORN". Creepy spoken spooky poetry, by me: › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Where does it come from, that voice in your head?

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:20:17 GMT

The idea of this song has been set in motion a few weeks back. The idea is... well, it's obvious when you listen to it. So go listen to it. Hint, it's not the 5/4 it's in, though that is a nice addition: neither is it the stereo guitar, that's just because I recorded it twice and didn't want to discard anything, though it too is a nice addition. I did kind of forgot why it was called this, but it's a good enough name, so why change it. It sounds cool and so does the song, so it's a good fit for that reason at least. - Spider 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:19:56 GMT

Before the last of 3 dark ambient shows at this year's Melbourne Fringe, I recorded a quick ambisonic drone performance using only the Waldorf Blofeld. The Blofeld was routed throguh ableton to 4 JBL LSR305s and 2 x krk subwoofers. Panning controlled by LFOs, sounds played via push 2. In retrospect, I should have had the ambi mic closer to the ground to capture a fuller sound.

Week 41 - onezero - Lough Leane

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 21:08:28 GMT

I started on this one late Friday, with the first phrase coming to mind (heard as the first theme in the left channel) manifesting in 7/4 time, so I kept with that time signature. The challenge was making the parts make sense with that constraint, since many of my reflexes are in 4 time--in some cases you'll hear an idea run out before the bar, or seem like it would naturally end a bit later. Still, the creative friction was interesting. Unexpected melodies showed up, and were definitely worth keeping. As I've been doing for most recent pieces, this is three tracks of the same guitar with no effects, this time with the PureSalem in standard tuning. (I really have to change strings soon--there's quite a dent in the wrap of the D.) Some convolution reverb (small theater), and some multi-band compresson/eq. The title comes from Lough Leane, near the R563. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Instead exceed! Surfeit with which mineself to feed! A putrescence unbound, unfeigned: Olfactory fulsomeness unwaned. Potty training sorely lacking, So, alack! with shrieking! Snapping! Oh, alack! a poor sign indeed: Surfeit of fulsomeness unbound escapes from this mine contour round with sickly saccharine scent and sound. No, don't deride! Instead concede to effervescent blameless greed! More is lost, yet more is gained Sweat drops 'neath this mine body craned and bent, by exudation stained, yet unspent and I shant be shamed! All foison, and all abundance, glut my gut, meat, mind, my tendons, though separate once are now alloyed: augmented me! The-rotund spheroid. No, do not hide! Do not recede!

For this week's track, I started by recording in some random notes into Audacity to both stretch in Paulstretch, but also to use in Reason's granular synth. After creating the stretch track's, I placed them in Reason and created some automation for the volume as well as a bus track to glue them together. I created an initalized patch in Grain, and the imported my initial recording. After finding a part to use, I used the patch matrix to create unique modulations that fed into the synth's internal effects and finalized the sound. I then used a MIDI controller to live record some notes; playing along to the droning stretch tracks. After EQing and adding effects, I mixed and mastered the final track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 19:09:13 GMT

This song has always been a little cursed. Fitting for a ghost story. A 45 degree turn from last week - still country music, but as Devieus said last week, this time that country is Ireland :) I have NEVER been able to get this song to behave in front of a microphone. I thought week 41 was a good opportunity to try and bring this one to heel with what I've learned this year, and also because of spooky season. Even still, this song fought - smart tempo in Logic works great, so long as you give it 4/4. Give it some 6/8 tempo, and suddenly it will decide that the song is going as 180bpm like a toddler with a basket of Pixie Sticks. I had to take Logic by the hand (much like the aforementioned toddler) and mark the downbeat for the song so the tempo would work. As it was, smart tempo wasn't THAT essential here - nice to have a steady click, but everything is recorded live (except for the bass, ran out of time to record that. Sorry ol' #12). Smart tempo should have been useful for quantizing my bodhran, but it just made it a stuttering mess. There's a long tradition in celtic music of spooky season stories. Jealousy, murder, ghostly lovers returning for one more night, musical instruments made from body parts. The lyrics in this one came from a dream my wife had - definite elements of the paranormal here, but exactly what is left as an exercise for the listener. I used two different whistles for the song - standard D for most of it, and an F whistle for the high parts - it let me get around having to use a lot of half-hole fingerings when the melody goes minor. Also, air is just getting dry enough that I had to wet down the bodhran before playing so it didn't go PANG PANG PANG. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics You were wet from rain and windblown When the song and dance began It took a bit of convincing To get you to take my hand We danced and twirled the night away While we listened to the storm But I wasn’t quite prepared for what came knocking on the door What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never would expect what came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never will forget what came knocking when you were here Her hair was long and flowing Blown by an unnatural wind She glowed with unearthly beauty As the torches and fires dimmed She reached her hand in longing Pointed pale hands to your heart I felt your whole being shudder As if her gesture hurt What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never would expect what came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never will forget what came knocking when you were here I couldn’t help but grasp your arm As you started to move her way You briefly stopped and caught my eye The sorrow too deep to explain Reluctantly I let you go To drift o’er to her side The storms fierce wind howled louder still As you both went outside Break I rushed to the window To catch a final glimpse To my surprise you were alone Standing on the plinth As waves went crashing on the shore And wind beat on our door Your figure drifted out of sight Ne’re to be seen no more What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never would expect what came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here What came knocking when you were here I never will forget what came knocking when you were here 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 18:53:19 GMT

I challenged myself this week to write a track only using Ableton Live Lite. This whole track was made entirely inside of a single Ableton Live Lite project using the latest version of Live (12.1). Any samples used all came from the Core Library or the two packs that come with Live Lite, all synth sounds come from Drift (I actually didn't use any presets), no third-party effects or other plugins, and of course I also used my own vocals. This was a lot bigger of a challenge than I had thought it actually might be, and I ended up with so many lanes of automation and so many sounds shared across the same track using multiple racks, but it just goes to show that you really can do a lot with even the most limited version of Ableton Live if you know what you're doing. Would I do this again? Probably not. But it was a very fun experiment and I'm actually really pleased with the track! Enjoy. :) Lyrics: I’ll chase the light Into the sky I feel a fire burning inside I’m gonna rise Break past the lies There’s nothing holding me back tonight (Break my limits) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - Ashen Simian - Comet chasing

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 18:50:02 GMT

A very simple and straightforward track for me. Of course there is a bit meandering leads and pads, but the momentum is pretty much from beginning to the end. It is a sort of synth pop, but a bit more esoteric. I think it is in some ways perhaps refreshing... The usual gear, the stringy bits are form Elka Rhapsody and the leads are Crumar DS-2 and Ensoniq Fizmo. Some pads also from Roland V-synth. Micromoog takes care of the bass department and the other sequences are form Moog Slim Phatty. Drums from Akai RW and Roland TR09 + Korg ES-1. The sequences are controlled by my 16 track Korg O1/Wfd workstation. I have used that for decades now! Old and simple, but works fine. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - Jai Cafarella - Body Double

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 18:43:34 GMT

Ugh, this one was another last minute struggle (and yet I keep doing it to myself)... The music is built off an oldish idea, came up with a lyric theme fairly quick and wrote some new music bits, then lyric block... -_- Half of what is here is absolutely placeholder territory, but it's done, still on the wagon, kinda. I made a bunch of shortcuts in build and production out of frustration with the lyric struggle, very much a demo of sorts to build on another time maybe. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - djippy - Princent Vice synth melodies kicks asses

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 18:42:49 GMT

Hey! Collab this week with @Princent Vice https://weeklybeats.com/princent+vice/m … ing-djippy I was lazy to start something by myself so I asked on the discord channel if anyone wanted an acoustic drums track for this week submission... Princent Vice took the deal and sent me a really cool m8 track. I did track quickly some of my acoustic drums. Then did my own mixed version with the multitrack he sent me(which is pretty dense and a bit messy as djippy track should be!) It will be fun to hear his version as well this evening! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - friendlyperiscope - renovation blues

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 17:22:21 GMT

little guitar piece again. played with this little melody last week, recorded it this week. maybe next week i'll figure out what key i played in! doing some renovation/rearranging/sorting, thus the title. blues because it amused me as a title. as usual, guitar into quad cortex, external distortion pedal for some spice in the overdubs/solo parts and op-1 recording all of this and crushing it for the outro. tried ardour this time for "mastering" (which still means guessing how loud i should make the thing), might use it again next week. also tried ableton recently, but it really does not want to run on my odd machine/on linux, it runs fine for a minute and then crashes. maybe i'll figure this out before the year ends. might be interesting to actually record more than ~one take for things. all in all, fun week, surprisingly. next week: further renovations and maybe a new entity will arrive. shall see. (what to we call these updates? synth-blogging? surprisingly fun also.) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - Q-Rosh - tuesday jam

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 17:07:04 GMT

on tuesday I had a very nice jam with Günther on the Rhodes and me with my guitarpedals. this was the basement for this track, which I extended with clarinet, saxophone, flute, harmonica, sitar, edrums and some hiphopbeats I sampled from several EP`s. I ended up with 150 audiotracks, which are up to 4-8 different channels from the microphones or effects, just for a single instrument in mono. It was a monstereffort to find the right parts and to balance, EQ and master them. It took me the whole weekend. I did not know what the song would be like in the end, but I was going for a journey through different genres and spaces. You can hardly hear the initial music from the jam anymore, but who likes, can listen the Wilcox-Raw-Cats recording on polycarboate on weeklybeats. there you find some minutes of our session. I am grateful to be able to play with Günther, who has over 70 years practise on the jazzpiano. The windinstruments just sound the way they do, because they have a great jazzfloor underneath. Such gigantic projects like this, I probably cannot make this year again, because my 2 weeks of vaccation is over now and the cliniclife gets me back. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - SQF - only memories W41

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 17:05:27 GMT

A bit of a continuation of some ideas from last week. The beginning parts were similar samples or some ideas that didn't quite fit. I wanted to do a larger rap but it wasn't flowing but maybe cathartic on the writing side of things. The only thing that made it in was a spoken word intro. The topic of this weeks song is related to a friend of mine that died suddenly last week. Still in a bit of shock. He was 43. I kind of reflected my shock in the song structure. Around when I do the spoken word part I let all the samples play out kind of chaotic. The synth lead that comes in at 1:25 is a repurposed song sample from a previous WB and the timing is slightly off but it works in kind of an odd rushed feeling kind of way. I needed something in the middle to break things up so I used some more repurposed WB sub 37 samples I had. That part in particular feels like an unexpected moment that in the grand scheme of life is short. The song picks right back up after that section kind of like how life presses on and we just have to keep going. It's been welcomed to pour some creative energy into a moment in life that doesn't make sense and isn't fair. Thanks for coming along for the ride!

I’m currently on vacation with my family in Puglia, Italy, and I don’t have much time, so I put together a quick sketch inspired by some 70s Italian library music. This is how a lot of my tracks begin: as rough sketches on the laptop. Later, I bring them to life with my guitar in the second step.

My intent with this track marks a transition back to higher tempo, higher energy :-). I also wanted to focus on the bass and drums, I'm fairly happy about both. The bass is a saw shape in the wavsynth; the drums are samples; the piano is samples; the high pitched glitchy thingie is a moog sample as well. Pretty fun, but I plan to go faster next week :-) 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 41 - Tone Matrix - Spiral Waves of Fibrillation

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 14:50:37 GMT

Hello. This was a weird week for making music. As usual I put everything off til Saturday morning. Only problem was I had the genius idea to try and update Ableton to 12.1 whilst also trying to get out the door Friday night for a teensy bit of so-socializing. So in my haste I accidentally quit the plugin-approval thing it does before an install. So when I went to open it later thinking it was updated it kept freezing/crashing. At first the midi wouldn't work, then it froze some more. Then my brain finally decided to thaw out as I realized "oooh mayhaps if I move the plugins out of the folder and back it will rescan them and bippity boppity"... So after about 2hours of aimless foul-mouthed troubleshooting I finally had it back up and updated. **insert_canned_cheers** Then of course by then the notes emanating from my fingers sounded like a cat composing a score to a horror film. So I figured oook I'll nap it off. Nope. Woke up with one of the strongest afibs I've had in awhile. (Three this week for those playing the home game). My personal way to describe what they feel like sometimes is how the intro to Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" sounds. The afib beat is a bit more jazzy and off beat though. Otherwise I'd be rocking out if it was a signature Alex Van Halen beat. **shrugz** Whilst in full afib I decided to try and distract myself and attempt to finish the track. I had at least the bass/chord structure down but needed to flesh it out a bit more. I've never tried to work on music like this but woah it was like trying to swim my way out of a damaged sinking sub. I couldn't quite catch my breath or the normal rhythm you usually hope for. The repeating arp line stuck around mainly because in my struggle to concentrate I kept trying other pads and such. My feet were jittery, my hands were schwetty. But fooling a bit with the fx of the arp kinda hypnotized me a bit into finishing the track. It definitely needs some volume/eq edits cuz all I focused on was getting a chunk of sound down. So if anything is shrilly or l0ud... "I-apo-lo-gize-a-trillion-times" Thanks for stopping by and listening. I hope you all are well and avoiding the bad weathers. Miami narrowly missed 2 hurricanes in the past few weeks. Good Grief Charlie Brown! :o **awkward_poly_waves** PS. For shiz_n_gigglez: When I first realized the afib was back, I wanted to share what it felt like. So in my tiny brain I thought to myself "oooh consult YT for a vidjo link of Van Halen performing Hot For Teacher". I opened up YT, did not type a thang and somehow the 2nd thumbnail on the right was a dude doing a drum cover of H4T. So I guess I have bluetooth in my noggin or YT is a bit stalkerish.

An uninspired week resulted in me playing on Sunday afternoon with a few sounds and a very simple chord progress (C and A, not even going for a third chord). I sprinkled even some action strings towards the end. This track is a bit half baked but I don't dislike it.

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:30:00 GMT

This week has been a whirlwind. With so much on my mind and countless things beyond my control, the stress has been overwhelming. Balancing work and life felt like juggling too many balls at once, and inevitably, some fell. The pressure built up until it overflowed, leaving me feeling drained and frazzled. But amidst the chaos, I found moments of clarity. I realized that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. It’s a sign that we’re pushing ourselves, and striving for more, and that’s something to be proud of. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:19:07 GMT

A hill I will die on is that Tobe Hooper's 1974 masterpiece The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is the greatest horror film ever made and is, in fact, the perfect horror film. I have written papers, given lectures and gotten into heated (re: drunken) bar arguments with other horror nerds about this. It is not however, in any way, a Halloween film - but alas it is what I had to work with this week. The low engine noise is a slowed down sample of a large chainsaw idling. The aim was to make a menacing kind of sub bass with it. Also this week I had to re-install my OS and try to put back together I terrible mess I made of things. Not the track I wanted to make, but I don't hate it. Made with Ableton and the Sawyer family. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Went to the Ren faire with friends and ate out of town. Took longer then expected and missed shows for lines. Watched the joust. Stuck in park lot fields. Talked with random woman with grand kids about life and faire. Thrift store shopping for costumes. Broke diet. Continued cleaning the practice space and sharing music inspirations with D. Went to the theater. Ate lunch with AL's family before sibling and wife left to China. Disassembled Eurorack and moved all modules to new case. Tried to catalog inventory. Talked about future. Brother's dog passed due to kidney failure. Extended support as best I can. late to let him know about dates. Friend/old roommate, reached out about high school jacket left at dry cleaners in 2015 and forgot to pick up. Asked to retrieve it for him. Some bike rides. Finished playdate game. Encouraged AL to buy url. Talked about setting up their project. Tried to support. L, R, and P visit. P is getting big. only 6 months and has progressed a lot. Talked with local shop worker about SF music scenes and DJ with local organizer randomly. Learned a lot about T know J from across the street book store and working together. Picked up 3 used blue rays in the process (Annihilation, Rise of planet of the apes, Gattaca). Consumed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, Wild Robot (2024), 88:88 (2012), House of the Devil (2009), Under the Castle, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol.2 (extended edition), The Orb - U.F.Orb, The Toxic Avengers - Missions, Teenage Bad Girls - Cocotte, Buncha random stuff with D, Software Used: Ableton monomonomono Tape Tal - PHA Fors Lode DO Basic Synth (custom Ableton tool previously created) Izotope Ozone 10 Phoned in submission this week. A bit burned out and short on time. Borrowed a friend's old Ableton Push 2. First time using it. Went in with no instructions or prior experience. Spent 30 min feeling it out. Tried to make something in an hour with it. These are the results. Fine as a proof of concept. Not fully onboarded to the workflow or convinced of its usefulness to me yet. Everyone is on the new Ableton Move hype train. I thought I'd at least try an old Ableton device to see how they approach ux/ui for their ecosystem. played in parts, live tweaked some knobs, tried to focus on using the push as much as I could. TBH I am faster with a mouse and keyboard. Time probably can close the gap. Frustrating for deeper sound design. Would make sense to build my own tools with macros. Added some generative choices for the computer to break up the looping a bit. Won't playback the same as the recording. File Name: "w41 - Push Test" Ableton, 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - Cursory - To Take Sides

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 07:20:41 GMT

Happy W41! In some ways this style of song feels like something I’d have written years ago before I’d ever recorded anything, kind of a meandering, strummy thing. I still haven’t decided whether I’d like this one more as purely a vocal/acoustic track or as something more produced/layered. Landed on a bit of a middle ground. Funny tidbit - I really wanted to double the main guitar and have one panned to each side, but for the life of me could not match the timing closely enough. After many failed takes I realized that “low latency mode” had somehow been switched off in Logic :lol: but even then I still couldn’t do it right >.> Landed on panned chord hits instead, more forgiving with time and gives things a bit more movement and dynamic range. Some clear inspirations for this track are things like Drawn to the Blood by Sufjan Stevens and (the chorus of) Creature Fear by Bon Iver, or any indie song where they just hammer eighth notes the whole time. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics It’s due But you will not fall Or undo unrelenting appall Say you won’t live to lose You fall To arms You say you want to sew into Words of old and nothing new “It’s true It’s true We’re right so You lose” Confide In only a song That maybe I’ve still got it wrong I thought we could get through Divided Ignite Feeling we’re burning through our time Could I cut off all who don’t align Or pardon all your crimes There’s a love I hoped we’d find I won’t ask them to take sides And they’ll give it their best try 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - mukti - BRILA

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 07:14:26 GMT

After playing with samples a bunch last week, I decided to use them a bit more heavily for Week 41. I found a trumpet sample, then recorded a slightly similar sample using Arturia's Augmented BRASS. I was kind of going for a similar sound to the horns in WAVEDASH's 'Stallions'; but ultimately got something a bit more simple. The "okay," "very good," and kinda lo-fi drum samples came from a zip I got on the Dirtywave discord years ago. I built on the drum samples and created a stronger (less filtered) drum beat using the DW01 Synthdrums pack. All the other samples are from the first five episodes, and final episode, of Yu Yu Hakusho. It feels a bit repetitive like many of my songs, but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out. Any feedback is appreciated! The title is an Esperanto word that means brilliant or bright. I was looking for a word that kind of gave the same vibe as the trumpet/horn sounds I was going for, and I think BRILA works pretty well. Originally I used AI to generate an image of a trumpet in a sort of 90's anime style; but I have very mixed opinions of using AI for art, and don't really want to use it for something I create if I can avoid it. I ended up spending WAY TOO LONG trying to merge a picture of a flower and a trumpet in GIMP, and make a somewhat cartoony version of it. It kinda works, but maybe next time I'll try to draw it myself! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - Snyderman - Percussion Only (OPL)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 00:52:02 GMT

Had a lot of fun with this one. I sometimes rely too heavily on melodic interest to keep a track going so I figured I'd go in the opposite direction again and only do noisy percussion. Don't really know what this is but whatever, I've been leaning into my ADD composition style lately. I enjoy using the OPL since there's a lot of secret power in that 2-OP synth even if it's tempting to go for the more complex 4-OP chips. Hope you enjoy it (or not, that's fine too). 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 41 - jbarket - david attenborough fever dream

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 22:00:17 GMT

I'm finally starting to get my actual eurorack gear together. maybe next week we'll get at least a few beeps out of it. this is once again all vcv rack, and it is... I don't even know. I really like it. it's funky and weird and like if herbie hancock wrote headhunters after suffering major brain damage. I started off trying to make some more typical, acidy stuff, but the minute I got the bass to start... toe jam and earling... this is where we had to go. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - SteveSkiano - It Is What It Isn't

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 21:41:22 GMT

This song was built from the phrase "it is what it isn't". I don't know what it means. Probably because it doesn't mean anything, lol. But it turned into a song about daddy issues or something. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 41 - BarristerPlong - Fever dreams

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 18:23:36 GMT

Rough week this week. Spent most of my time off in bed sick so I decided to be audacious and just fuck with my pedal board. It's a couple second loop subjected to the Mood, Astral Destiny and Echorec. It's a pure fever dream (literally done while running a high fever). 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 41 - NeonRebar - Phaser - notes from a Roland GP-100 and a better time in the world. Sort of.

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 14:56:58 GMT

So I have a Roland rack mount GP-100 for guitar. I think I got it in the late 90's. It can get any sound in the world (so long as that sound is a Roland JC-120 or the phaser sound you hear in this). Perhaps you remember the late 90's... The internet was becoming a thing, everyone was getting a computer, home studios were losing the embarrassment factor, people in the states didn't want to kill each other (as much as now), Chicago was on the map musically. Maybe its always been as bad or good as ones attitude permits. Dunno. Heres to the shotgun shack I was living in back then, happy in spite of it all. horrifying noise experiments continue next week. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 41 - eleventhstage - Dread

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:18:18 GMT

Another hard week for writing, maybe hitting the slump in the last and worst possible time to do so. Anyway, wrote something slower and simpler than some other weeks. I like it in a way but I deffo phoned it in slightly. As is right and proper. Enjoy. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 41 - halfbyte - Painkiller

Sat, 12 Oct 2024 13:00:25 GMT

Content warning: Severe health issues, detailed descriptions This is a bit of an unusual upload. I've prepared this for week 29 (yip) and then didn't manage to render and upload because I was having severe back pain and high fever. In the end, this turned into almost 10 weeks of hospitalisation in three different hospitals because of a botched procedure that turned a standard gall bladder removal into several emergency surgeries, various weeks of intensive care and more or less a lost summer. I was very hopeful this year to get a somewhat clean record on weeklybeats, but turns out, sometimes just surviving is all that matters for a while. I'm back home now for two weeks and slowly started using my computer again. Today I opened up Ableton and found this track. Technically, I worked on it a bit today, so I finished it this week and I hope the circumstances make it alright to upload it for this week. To me it's a view into the "before". I wasn't very happy with the track back then, but then again, I was already quite sick and I am not super happy with it now, but it has significance. I hope I can deliver new tracks from now on for the rest of the year, even though I am still quite awkward with the computer (and life in general). 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 41 - nedsferatu - EXW_WB_Y24W41.WAV

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 20:51:51 GMT

This is a bit of a departure from my usual break beats and jungle submissions and I think it is the start of a new project. I'm not sure what genre it really is so if you have ideas let me know. I felt the need to have a whole different process for making music from the one i use for jungle. more experiments to come. I also made a new instrument and used it twice on this track. It is just some springs on a board with a contact mic but I really like how it sounds and there seems to be a lot of different things i can do with it. I also used my lap steel guitar on this track which I built earlier this year. It is rewarding to make music with instruments I've made myself. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

nanoloop mono synced with lsdj. My entire years wb work has been "i want a 303" in different forms. This weeks attempt is with nanoloop mono. Its probably the closest chiptune centric gear to getting the squelch right. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)
