Week 37 - Bunjigram - A Little Chelly

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:58:15 GMT

Once again, I was lazy and did not start working on my weekly beat until 4:00 pm today. That doesn't leave me much time to really get creative, but at least I was able to crank out a little piano solo doodle with some sweet chelly sauce. Last week, I tried out some orchestration with the BBC, and this week, I now have the gosh darn Philharmonic (thanks to Mosaic). I look forward to digging into this new bag of delights over the next several weeks. For this simple track in Fmaj, I used Phil's piano (sounds like a Steinway D) and a random solo cello that sounded nice. I still have lots to learn about how to shape these sounds and all the nuance they hold, but for now I gotta deadline to meet. (Note to self: Time is your friend. Use it generously.) Hope all you Weekly Beaters have a great week. -- RCN 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:55:32 GMT

Hectic week. So I felt like making something a bit more tranquil for a change. Reached for my JD08 to get some 90s warm pads and ended using it for all parts except the drums, which are sampled from the LXR02. Arranged on M8. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 37 - Xjs - La Cabeza

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:52:57 GMT

This week's track is inspired by one vocabulary card from https://www.spanisch-5000.de, a Spanish-German deck which I am currently studying. The card says »se me viene a la cabeza / se me pasa por la cabeza«, both sentences on one card. I found this strangely poetic. Enjoy. Additionally, since I had caught a bit of a cold (see also last week's piece for its beginning), I had to blow my nose quite often. This in turn inspired the trumpet and woodwind synths. Lyrics: Se me viene a la cabeza Se me pasa por la cabeza Es geht mir durch den Kopf Es kommt mir in den Sinn (and a number of variations) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:49:44 GMT

Today I've spent some time outside during what's probably gonna be one of the last somewhat warm, sunny days of the year. I don't look forward to the winter, but let's see, maybe it'll be nice after all. Lost way too much time hunting down a click in one of the Boards of Deluge presets, didn't find it, chose another preset. (lol now that I think of it, I might have another idea.) Whatever, it's a track. No masterwork, but still pretty alright if you ask me. Enjoy! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Been thinking of all those cool songs from old N64 games, like goldeneye so I wanted to write something along those lines but a little more my style I guess. Anyways, I'm really digging this song and had so much fun with it. I just wish I had maybe a bit longer to build on it and make it a bit longer. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 37 - Tomatron.Jones - In Necessary Flames

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:20:34 GMT

Unlike other tracks, this one wasn't inspired directly by anything in particular. Instead, I found an old, rough idea for a beat I had started that included the drums, part of the melody and bass line. I spent a few hours taking that idea to completion - fleshing out the arrangement, adding more layers, adding automation and such. Many of the samples are from the Magic Sword sound pack, a great synth band. The main focus of this was the main melody, which gets stacked towards the end with various interleaving synth layers from Massive, adds a bit of an EDM quality. The title comes from another line from my journal. * Bass and synth from Massive and Ableton synths * Drum, percussion, pads, texture samples from Splice (mostly Magic Sword samples) * Valhalla, Transit, and Trackspacer plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: 3.5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - laguna - Polymorphism

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:19:32 GMT

When LagunaGFX feels lazy, he spends one whole afternoon on Renoise crafting a beat from the lamest samples in the history of drum machines: the Kawai K50e... and then he panics when he realizes he doesn't have a single line of melody. So? Who's he gonna call? Ghostbusters? No, Ableton Resonator (Los Angeles preset) through a vocoder through various delays, all with lots and lots of feedback. Then he resamples one delay track, offset it and send it to the other delay, again, so it seems like the guy know how to compose melodies. Don't forget to pitch the whole thing +7 semitones or -5, and build some silly automation for the resolator so it changes note between the minor scale, at least. The result: the highest CPU comsumption for his 12 y/o laptop and a really really messy mix. Sorry for writing about myself in the 3rd person. I thought I was Barry White for a second ;) I'd love to clean the mix, sidechaining the delays or something. Frankly my ears are super tired and I've got lots to do tomorrow. This would be all for this week. You guys are wonderful. Please be happy, wherever you are 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 37 - Snyderman - EDM (SMS + OPLL)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:19:07 GMT

I got a lot farther on this one since I had 2 work sessions to make progress. I wanted to start pushing the limits of the "Super SMS" or Mark III (PSG + OPLL in drums mode). The sounds are limited and I still didn't really use any custom patches on FM, just the presets. At first I started this one just using OPLL but figured to give it some texture I'd add in the PSG. It's a surprisingly large amount of channels given how limited all of the chips are so it's got a thickness of texture which is nice even if it still just basic sines, squares and noise. Hope you enjoy this pretty basic EDM tune that gets that signature Snyderman style in the second half. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 23:06:54 GMT

I've been interested in eurorack for a while. I approach music a lot more like an engineering problem than a composer, so the idea of using voltage manipulation to make music is really up my alley. But, getting started is expensive as hell, so I finally put the time in with vcv rack to get comfortable with it. This is the first track I've ever really performed, and the performance absolutely has some weaknesses. I also think there are probably too many sounds for this kind of track. But overall, I'm pretty happy. I made a virtual machine that makes techno. Or in this case it might be techmo, but that's pretty close. Going to keep playing with this thing and expanding it. My plan now is to keep working on the magical machine that makes techmo, and get to the point I could play a set with it. And then translate that to real world modules.

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 22:39:12 GMT

Making up for lost time is easier when you're actually just hanging out for a weekend. Been a good one, been going out and talking to people. I usually avoid that because just going out by myself and trying to find company and make friends on the go is kinda terrifying. But I had a great weekend. Fun story: the first random guy I got talking to - turns he used to date someone I went to school with years ago in a completely different part of the country. Anyway, about this weeks track! For the small amount of time I've been working on this there's actually an impressive amount of stuff on the cutting room floor, like 60% percent of the project size is being taken up by stuff I scrapped. I wanted to make sure that I felt the track kept being interesting to work on for me, and that was a fun thing to focus on. In the end, it made for only about 90secs of music, but it makes up for it by staying engaging throughout. Some inspiration from learning Afrocuban beats on the drums earlier this week, a lot of going back to the dirty broken sound of week 6 that I still love very much, paired with beat mangling. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Happy Week 37! More noodles this week. This took me an embarrassing number of tries to play it (mostly) free of mistakes. This was initially going to done with a pretty clean/neutral guitar tone, but I couldn’t play it well enough to be free of those pesky non-desirable sounds that effects help hide :lol:. I was also a bit distracted by the arrival of the Chroma Console multi-fx pedal and couldn’t help using it, such a fun tool I’m excited to dig into. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 37 - miraclemiles - data life

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 21:36:50 GMT

Yeah, my hard drive is spinning right now. Swimming with music. I saw about 15 musical artists this weekend at the a local music festival that returned this year after its multi-year pandemic-induced hiatus. 80 bands total, two nights, 9 venues. A lot to choose from. Bicycles helped. Sadly I saw a lot of sparsely attended shows, but also got the rush of somewhat larger audiences moving together, lost in the music (I danced the most the band Down North from Seattle). And while its disappointing to see smaller crowds, it was kind of fun to quickly walk into a venue, get a great place to watch, and have no lines for anything. So this song is mainly me playing drums and handpan today. Took a handpan noodle and layered pieces together, panned sides and center. Still deciding if I like that, some parts yes, some less. After seeing artists play live this weekend, I felt like doing the same. I also saw a local afrobeat band that got me moving, and I started playing some drums in that feel, but then pivoted. Other sounds in this are from the recent live jam with band buddy Monstrosus. Then it starts and ends with the sound of a hard disk drive spinning up and chattering with data. I started playing with that sound in response to this weeks Disquiet Junto project: Record a piece of music that complements the hum and whir of a hard drive. I feel inundated with data in any give week, but after the music festival and having many conversations and meeting new people, my data storage is even more filled that usual. My brain is a digital drive spinning up some rhythms from the depths. I just wish it could shut down with the click of a switch instead of chattering away all night long. Time to go search for that switch and get ready for a new week, and new data, and the best part - a new song. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

All feedback on performance and mix much appreciated. - Note to self: Get in the 'studio', you always get sucked in and enjoy it there, just so much inertia beforehand which prevents geting started. Wanted to do something with a really simple riff, this was it! Wanted something driving like QOTSA Millionaire WWW Enjoyed this. EBI I'd prob do different less screamy vocals next time, something with a bit more body and accent and character. I wanted something a bit fuller but come recording (late Sunday evening) this was all seemed appropriate to record. Ironically, they are quiet to record, cause I do them as low level faux screams with lots of intensity. Could've done with a better lead guitar part maybe. Fun one to do. Mp3 seems quiet, how do I make it louder on garageband? Anyone? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 21:23:01 GMT

A late-night-Friday session and Saturday afternoon session yielded some promising material, but my first arrangement didn't quite capture the music I was hearing during tracking. A half hour after uploading, I changed a few of the parts around, and combining one set of parts with a different third part ended up solving the problems I'd been hearing. (And this version's over three minutes; the previous one seemed long at 2:45.) PureSalem Mendiola, standard tuning, 4/4, some convolution reverb.

Worked on this in little chunks every day throughout this week. I'm really happy with what it evolved into! This might be the most samples I've ever used in a song. I probably spent the most time on the climax, trying to get it to sound full but not too messy. I still think it could be better, but I'm content with it. In other life news, I'm feeling really proud of my students lately. There has been great discussion in the group critiques and their sculpture projects are looking so good! I've been grateful I get to spend a good amount of time in the studio as well working on my own projects. Been getting to music when I have bits of free time, and it's feeling like a nice routine. Composed on the M8, lots of help from the SP404, mastered in Logic with some fx. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 37 - jegasus - The Clockwork Fairies

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:58:32 GMT

Lore You've heard that the clockwork fairies have a habit of spellbinding intruders and submitting them to the harshest forced labor conditions imaginable. But you know that won't happen to you! You're coming into their territory, yes, but not to intrude into their land! Heavens, no! You just seek an audience with the Fairy Queen Lynina to deliver an important message form your master, King Reginald Theobald Augustus Kazeer. You do not know the precise contents of the message, but you know the general topic: the King's vision for territorial expansions through the embrace of new disruptive and innovative technologies that significantly reduce the need for human and animal labor. You're sure the clockwork fairies will be most pleased with the news. At least that's what you were told. I mean, they wouldn't have sent you out here if there were any real danger, would they? No, absolutely not. The King is famous for his kindness. He always says he cares for his servants as if they were his own children! There is nothing to fear here. End of story. Ooohhh, what is that pretty light? It's pulsating... so... nicely... And those bells... They sound... so... soothing.... You feel... blessed... Production Details I've done it again: it's another repetitive chiptune march, hahahahaha.... Some aspects of this song feel quite similar to this other song I wrote a few months ago called "Bog Boy Barf", a song about a legendary gator wrestling swamp dwelling adventurer. I need to send a big thank you to mikey303 who crated an M8 instrument preset called FIREFLIES.M8I, which was central to this piece. I've been trying to create all my M8 synth instruments from scratch for Weekly Beats, but I just couldn't create the exact bell ring I wanted. And then I remembered mikey303 had already created the perfect bell, so I ended up stealing it for my song. I feel like that one and his BITTERSWEET.M8I presets are two that I reach for VERY often. Thanks for making those, Mikey!!! All other samples were taken from HeXaWe's package of Fairlight samples, which they distribute under the CC BY 3.0 License. Anyways, since I didn't know where to begin, I started messing around with sound design trying to create some fun and inspiring sound first. After picking a bell sample, I found a cool little pattern and started building up from there. I started making this track on Thursday evening and hammered most of it out on Friday afternoon. The M8 tells me I worked a total of about 1h45 on this one. As usual, all done on the Dirtywave M8 Tracker. Also as usual, thank you so much for your incredibly nice comments on my previous (extremely loud) submission, hahahaha... I'd like to bring two very relevant quotes here: mythfiction wrote:I appreciate the comments every jam. thank you. it feels good to read how it was received and encourages me to keep writing, even when the destination is unknown. link to mythfiction's quote sleepside wrote:Putting out music can feel like shouting into the void, and little communities like this make music-making feel less lonely link to sleepside's quote Y'all rock.

Week 37 - Daisy - Sarabande

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:45:09 GMT

This is a Sarabande in G minor. G minor is the saddest of keys. It is often included in a baroque dance suite as an exotic spanish dance, with all the fans and dramatic flourishes of petticoats. The odd combination of musicians, including a Sackbutt (a predecessor to the modern Trombone) represent who might happen to be present to entertain those thirsty for music and dance. The Flutes, are Recorders that drip like lace over the intonation of the Sackbutt on the 2-meausure phrases. The viola and cello provided a legato and pizzicato texture to hide in the corners. This all came to me in about 30 minutes. I spent the next hour fixing it up with articulations and dynamics. Thanks for listening! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - Tone Matrix - Head In The Clouds

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:22:07 GMT

I thought mayhaps I'd be venturing back into piano land this week but nope i'm still somewhere else.. space? :) We had a crazy squall of a storm pass through here the other day. I flung my phone at the window to get some sounds and ended up recording some of the closest angriest thunder I've ever experienced. The strike was so close all I saw was light everywhere. :o Another recording of crickets that I pitched in key (i think?). Also why the plane sounds drunk as it flies byyyyyy maaaaan. Also mouse clicks for even more ambiance. Also cars driving by thru rain soaked streets make great ambient risers. I had a much messier louder piano drenched in reverb sorta track planned early in the week but i ended up with this epiano thingy by accident instead. I was having a down day thinking about how this time last year I was saying goodbye to my best buddy, beanie (kitty). One thought led to another and I had a space noodle that felt right and cathartic. I'm ok now. Hope you are well, thank you for stopping by and listening <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 37 - alterationx10 - loopy

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 20:17:47 GMT

I started this track off, and after a build up of 3 phrases, I kind of liked how the one instrument droned on without a note-off, and looped back into a repeat of the three phrases. The ending is a bit too abrupt though, but that's something to work on if I come back to this one in the future. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

I don’t mean to bully! I don’t mean to be rude! Dear cully! But one look at John boys and what do you see? A stinky fish with a mouth full of foam! Full of drink! Stinking! Oh it’s like home!

Week 37 - boorch - W37: Droneuge

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 19:27:03 GMT

I was watching videos of Sonicware Liven Ambient 0, and loved the idea of a dedicated ambient drone machine (previously I was eyeing Stylophone's new drone synth, but I think Ambient 0 is much more usable as a single box without relying on external sequencing etc). As usual with Sonicware gear, it sits at a very "friendly" pricepoint, but it's not available to order yet, so I thought I could do most (if not all) of what that device can do with my Deluge. I was just a bit afraid to dive that deep into Deluge, especially with the extent of its capabilities after the community firmware. Anyways, I had to start somewhere and weeklybeats was the best excuse for me to "force myself" into regain my muscle memory and explore sections of Deluge I did not before (wavetable synthesis). I know I can go much deeper (and I will) but still, I'm amazed by what I can achieve in an hour or so (which is usually half of what I can spare from my week for the weeklybeats) with this little box of wonders. I don't really know if I'll buy an Ambient 0 still, perhaps I will because I imagine the "workflow" to be much simpler (even though Sonicware gear usually come with some unorthodox design decisions), but I'll sleep peacefully tonight knowing I can comfortably create drones and tastily random arpeggios using my Deluge. Direct recording out of Deluge, with subtle levelling in Sound Studio afterwards (too lazy to open Ableton Live, or learn how can I resample/record my performance within the box with Deluge, but I'll definitely investigate). 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Not a great one this week… Ran out of time again, but had to upload something otherwise I’m in danger of giving up and I really, really want to do every week! An old idea I finished off, trying to get some of those 80s sci-fi synth sounds out of the m8. I’m not great at making patches… A simple build up on this one. It’s all a bit too samey and using more lazy practices… I really wanted to sit down and construct something new, but doesn’t work out like that sometimes!

Week 37 - Paisleyfrog - Bees in the Bathroom!

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 19:21:15 GMT

A B-52s inspired song this week! neon liminal wrote: ... but I also get the slightest bit of a B52 vibe on the vocals and I can't stop smiling lol. I am very suggestible that way. So, I turned that Essence of Fred up to 11 and took a trip to my own Private Idaho. It was funny timing - I had already been thinking about the B52's the week before and listening to Rock Lobster repeatedly...this just meant the die was cast. Last thing that had to be made sure of, though - I texted my wife to ask if she wanted to do a B52s style song this week (because no way am I doing B-52s without female vocals), and got a response of "You have to ask?". Yessssss. So then, why bees? My wife had a restroom in the building where she works closed due to, well, bees. That's the Oprah "BEES!" meme in the upper left with the campus mascot taped over her face. I had the music somewhat set, but still didn't have lyrics. So I asked my wife what it should be about. She said, "BEES!". And then said, "Bees in the bathroom! Sitting there, doing #2, and suddenly a bee is staring at you!" Very rarely does someone have prime goofiness like that just dropped in your lap. Well, probably more often than most in my house, but anyway - it had to be. She was also rather adamant I give her credit for that line. But of course! › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Sitting in the bathtub Getting all clean When I heard a sound That was buzzy and mean Looked all around And to my surprise What did I see Before my eyes Splishing and a splashing Choking on the bubbles Should not be taken lightly Got me some major troubles There’s bees in the bathroom!

Week 37 - Jai Cafarella - Sale! Sale! (Buy Until We Die)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 19:17:50 GMT

This is a bit random; Shortly after I got home from work last night, I had this kind've punk-esque vocal idea in my head (verse melody) so I picked up the guitar to find something that worked with it, then came up with the cheesy not-very-punk chorus, recorded the idea on the phone and left it at that. Today I thought I'll try writing some lyrics, but if that doesn't flow I'll do a different song. I tried a few different subjects but couldn't get anything to fit, so I was going to give up on it until I thought 'buy until we die', and then the capitalism lyrics started to flow. I'm not really sure if this song works stylistically, like, I can already hear oddities in the music and lyrics that maybe I would've done differently with more time, but it is what it is, a demo of something that might be built on later *shrug* I got a bit over ambitious with some of the Jaideas for a 'punk song' so it ended up sounding typically me (whatever that is) and very not punk *facepalm* Oh well... :/ Sale!

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 18:58:02 GMT

this week it is a shortish synth pop instrumental. I had no time to make a b- or c-part for it, so it is more like a jam in one key. The most forward sounds are from Ensoniq Fizmo. A weird digital synth, which has its own cult following of sorts. There´s also some Roland V-synth here and there. The rythmic stuff by the usual suspects. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - mzunguko - FROSTY

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 18:36:38 GMT

cont'd from week 36 ... It's hard to believe that I have been in cryo for 100 years. I made the repairs I could to my ship but unsure if I have enough fuel to reach the Sophia outpost in the Orion system. I have been replaying the last set of video I have of my family that was left behind for weeks on end. It is hard to think about the choices we have all made. I lost my faith in the promise of a New World on Earth as it always seemed to be a hypnotic trance of the masses. A fine balance of both carrot and stick where only the select few from the right bloodlines, or those with the willingness to cater to the more darker delights of those in power, somehow rise to the top of the dung heap. I play these videos over and over again as if I enjoy the torture of the past, or is it more a reminder of the joys once had that gives me hope to find joy once again. Everyone was given the same choice, get in line or take a ship. The hardest choice was to take the ship, not really being an adventurer, stepping into the unknown does not really bring comfort. I only hope that I can reach Sophia in time and that those left behind find a way to make it there some day. In this empty space I swear I can hear the songs of the Siren, a lullaby of both wanting and hope. A sense of hope and foreboding fills the air as I engage what is left of my fuel to continue on the only path left, forward. › Show Spoiler‹ Hide SpoilerSame tools as my previous track, I have been really enjoying this combination and the modular granular sound design has really been inspiring to me. I will likely switch up some of the modules from my bigger case but stay within the 104Hp limit as this forces me to be a bit more intentional with my patching. I did pick up the Walrus Audio ACS1 cab simulator and really liked the textures it added, though I had to reamp this pedal to get the right levels coming out of the Virus. I have to apologize for the noise in the opening pad that was Mutable Instruments Beads. It has an auto gain that I didn't notice until the final arrangement that the gain was set too high for the incoming level of the Virus. At this point the patch was already gone and I didn't really feel like making it again. It eventually gets lost in the mix so c'est la vie Thank you so much for the continued support.

Week 37 - mukti - BANANO

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 17:58:48 GMT

This week I finished off a techno/acid track (I'm bad at defining genres) that I created some stems for last week. I ended up heavily modifying the original stems, and adding some effects in Reaper when I worked on the final mix. Throughout the week I've been listening to Rob de Large and Porter Robinson; but after the lighter track last week (and seeing Porter on Friday), I leaned heavily into the Rob de Large vibes for the sounds on BANANO. I ended up reusing some instruments I had used heavily in the past. The synth that kicks in around 2min is a modified version of nullsleep's POISON-LEAD from the default m8 packs. The other somewhat obvious one is the reversed siren from JELPI. For vocal samples I'm using the Ultra Hype Vocals pack from LANDR again, and some new clips from a scene in Ex Machina where Nathan explains the artistic methods of Jackson Pollock. As always, any feedback is appreciated! I didn't use the "bananas" sample as much as I wanted since I was running out of time; but I ended up using that for the theme and name of the track. "BANANO" is the Esperanto word for "banana." The picture is also based on the same theme... just a close up shot of a banana that I have sitting on my kitchen counter. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 37 - Endless Blue - Mercer Sphere

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 17:51:26 GMT

Absolute Christmas Miracle that I pulled this one off with Satisfactory 1.0 released this week... I had the concept of a beat with a bad 80's gated reverb on it and was able to get it rolling. Galloping bass came pretty quickly thereafter. Had to hack the chords into the chorus and bridge as I wrote them using the bass, which ended up causing many, many layers to get a full sound. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Some laptop sessions. Testing mostly a new product that we are developing at LANDR which is pretty nice to creates chords progression, bass lines, melodies and arpeggios... I created most of the midi with that tool, did chose some sounds patches, did browse some Samples library for Drum loops, cymbals, kicks and snares, then tried to mix it kind of quickly (not sure yet about what I did but it is something right???) I feel next week I'll try to re-arrange the track with an acoustic setup (Electric bass, guitars and drums...) cause I did that once this year and it was good fun.

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 17:06:36 GMT

Hellooooo Week 37! Alright, I was mixing this one and I swear I may have used this same bass progression before without realizing it until way late in the process. I haven't even gone back to listen and see for sure, because it doesn't REALLY matter. In non-weekly beats times I would have tossed this out as being too similar or not original to my own creations. But as is weekly beats tradition, we release, and move on! What strategies do you all use to keep things fresh and continuing to break new creative ground? I do like this song and I believe I'm getting better at adding layers and filling out the sound spectrum. I want to get to a point where I'm adding subtle things in the background that are hard to discern at first listen but the song would be missing something without them.

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 14:51:57 GMT

Hi all! Another solo guitar pice this week. I started it last week and made the most of it pretty much on the spot. Then I played during the week to refine the ideas. I am writing some lyrics to try a version with voice too at some point. However, I am pretty happy with the guitar work, even though I decided to just make a phone recording this week. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 37 - AMD24 - Week 37: ???? (malaise)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 14:24:33 GMT

Really struggling to juggle a varied social life, being effective at work, and putting in something I was proud of for this project. Definitely feels like you can only choose two of those three things to focus on each week, and this week I chose the first two. Going to be travelling for work a fair bit this week so hopefully some more down time to focus on week 38! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 13:14:25 GMT

Lots of fun and frustration making this weeks track. Uploaded the new MPC 3.0 beta version onto my MPC live, the workflow is more like a standard DAW which works for me, however still a bit buggy with this beta version. Being able to use the MPC in standalone mode was great, track was made all over the house, sitting on the couch, in bed, on the patio in the backyard. Entire track was done on the MPC, not used to mixing on the MPC so not sure how that turned out. I eventually learned shortcuts and things to make the workflow much faster, hopefully will use the MPC a bit more now, something appealing about not being distracted by the large screen of a laptop. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Another bump chak palalpalaal pum bliieeeblieeblaa track. Breakbeat samples and arps, without polish. I think the track is 60% done? I could not help it, I decided to go check out the beach and walk out under the sun, enjoying the nature and the ocean, so did not spend as much time as I needed on this track. But this was good nutrients for the soul, so hopefully this time investment pays off in future weeks. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 06:20:55 GMT

The Roland JV-1080 inspires dramatic music in me. The story I told myself while making this is "end of the solar system when our sun dies". It features the Behringer 2600 and Kobol Expander. As well as the Roland System-8, and lots and lots of reverb. Last week I missed my upload ! I finished a track, I just forgot to actually put it online here.

I'm sick with a stupid cold that has lingered for four days. I haven't really had the energy to work on anything, but I have a gig coming up in less than a week and thought I should at least get some loops together so I'm not just DJing stuff from my M8 lol. Anyway, I picked up the OP-Z again for the first time since last year and it's really nice to just mess around with.

Week 37 - neon liminal - the chase (every cosmos)

Sun, 15 Sep 2024 04:20:00 GMT

Techno! M8 techno. No vocals this week lol. Last weeks of september promise to be a busy, special kind of hell, and I'm away for most of next week barring dog emergencies, so submissions might be less-effort-than-usual maybe. For the curious, this was entirely arranged on the M8 and mostly mixed there. I did a little bit of compression once I got the stems into Ableton but that's about it. Used Heavyocity Punish to add a little bit of saturation and dirt just before the Ozone master. I've been trying to find "my" techno sound; I know part of it is an homage to the old 909 drums, obviously 303 acid is a big component too. Cinematic is bringing some dramatic samples, and I seem to be heading towards 'techno wall of sound" with some drones and bass that is a bit unhinged and messy. I like the drums here, but I prefer the percussion on "the metal tide" - it was dirtier, had a bit of an industrial feel, and I think that's another direction I wanna push. I have a full-blown Lyra8 techno sketch going that kinda meets all these criteria but not sure if it's gonna be a go for this coming week given I'm out of town for most of the week but these are fun experiments. And ... Starry Night Cowboy continues to develop, and the album - Autumn on Ganymede - aiming to be ready by November. I only get so much time at a PC each week and if that time is working on WB tracks - and not album work - well it slows things down. Gosh I'm tired. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Meanwhile, cause I just can't get enough of it, I'm venturing into headless to get my fix! So... didn't have much time to work on a WB so I grabbed my opz, which I kind of stopped playing after I got the m8, and was listening to some old songs and decided to plug-it into my ableton template and have fun.

(as usual/often, op-z on the sounds, op-1 for the recording/effecting.) not sure how this sounds to others, but i like the vibe. eerie, probably? earliest upload for me! it helps that i shall be busy tomorrow, will see a theater play of nosferatu, which should also be... spooky? maybe more serious than that. shall see. also, if someone by any chance needs to know how to try korg's software synth demo things (via korg software pass) on linux, i may have some overcomplicated-but-working answers. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - As_Yoesual - Nullsleep Zone

Sat, 14 Sep 2024 15:11:20 GMT

Encountering a weird being in a weirder ship, telling you about his even weirder journey. ___ I went from sleeping rather well these last few weeks to not sleeping again; my tinnitus kept me awake. So, one very late night /early morning, I went downstairs, decided I wanted to do something more "chiptuney meets hard techno", and started collecting sounds and setting up synths. I mean, I already hear high-pitched sounds; Imma give that tinnitus a run for its money. Once I did, I set them up, but I was not too fond of the beat and melody. I redid it all again and again until I found something I liked. It was quite a fun experience to see/hear how the same sounds can give a different vibe, depending on their order. I then did the same for the stereo field of all the sounds, which I put a lot of effort into as there are a lot of sounds playing at all times. I decided the main "bleep" synth and the "warp" synth are leading, and everything else moves with or around them. I also started the track with just those two sounds, so the listener understands how the panning will pan out. (Pun intended.) Then, I re-mixed the volumes three times until I found something good enough to go with and started working on the arrangement. I also redid that a few times, saving sections I liked from previous attempts. The result is quite chaotic, but --listening back to all the chiptune stuff I used to listen to-- not something I am ashamed of. This all took me until Saturday. I am exhausted as I slept only a few hours this week. So, as for the title... Whenever I feel this tired, I always think of "Nullsleep" because even when I first listened to "My Thin Skin" by Nullsleep, the word "Nullsleep" always resonated with me as someone who sleeps poorly and as a game developer, where "null" generally meant an invalid/void/valueless variable. I added a few Sonic the Hedgehog samples from the old Sega era, and saved the file as "Nullsleep Zone." 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - jimmac - Phases

Sat, 14 Sep 2024 11:23:41 GMT

Feeling bad about my low effort last week, I polished this one a fair bit more. Somehow the M8 is just breaks and bass for me, but starting 4.0 I venture into ARPs a fair deal. I still didn't get very far in my attempts at music theory or finding a way to come up with good progressions I enjoy listening to (Ochre, Ivar Tryti), but I am happy I don't have to live in the world of rhythm only. So having this transposition based workflow that M8 provides is a godsend to me. Having said that, the structure of the song is a bit backwards as the simpler basslines are at the end and the more complex stuff opens. Having said that, next week is totally a techno track time. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Not quite fair to call this one a noodle, it's been kicking around in my head for a few weeks, and I took the time to actually write and arrange it... the performance leaves a little to be desired, but all in all I'm pleased with this piece. I'm super behind on listening to everyone else's music because of previously mentioned hecticness, but I'm looking forward to having some time to focus solely on music for a few weeks in Oct, so at very least I will catch up then... oh man... I'm just now realizing I didn't make a Clerks homage track this week... dang, miss opportunity... 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 22:58:23 GMT

Polybius is both an important Greek historian, and also interestingly an urban legend about an arcade game that was supposedly set up by the government as a psychology experiment in the early 80's. According to the legend it was extremely addictive and gave its users intense side effects like seizures, amnesia, insomnia, night terrors, and hallucinations. Allegedly the machines just appeared mysteriously one day, were visited by men in black who analyzed the data, and then disappeared completely after about a month. There's no evidence any of this is true, but it is kind of fascinating. Anyway, somehow while thinking about Greek historians and government run video game experiments, I came up with this intrumental. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 22:32:47 GMT

hear the sound of one hand ··· I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if needed, just ask. I'm a big fan of Stafford Bawler's and Obfusc's soundtrack to the game "Monument Valley". This week's beat is a tribute to those wonderful musicians and their stellar job that not only made a good game great, but which also has lasting impact musically on me and I'm sure many others. And I'm hearing the third installment of "Monument Valley" is coming in December! Wonderful. The cover art is a photo I took of a synthesizer module (a "tone generator" in Yamaha parlance) from the late '80s called TQ5. It's powered by the same YM2414 OPZ chip as the Yamaha DX11 and TX81Z. I managed to get it after a long search. It's properly weird, the sounds and the UI are properly dated, but it's got its early FM charm. All sounds you hear in today's tune come from the TQ5, including the percussion. ··· 4/4, 120 BPM, C-major. Yamaha TQ5 presets used: 25 FloatChime, 65 SynBass 4, 22 SoftCloud, 47 Celeste, 30 Fog, 08 E.Piano 1. Percussion sounds also TQ5: 92 PoundWood, 84 Triangle, 83 Castanet.

Week 37 - lhrin - Calista

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 20:34:08 GMT

This song tells a true story about a friend I met several years ago after my move from Colorado to Southern Arizona. My friend and her husband decided to change their office from a home to a sail boat in their 50’s. After sailing the world they retired to Arizona but never lost love of the sail. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Verse 1 It’s summer time in the desert. I see the devils in the dust I’m down by the river, my feet in the water Someone’s coming down to share my trust It’s Calista she was a sailor In the desert now to get warm For over twenty years the ocean was her highway A sailboat was her home Chorus Calista, Calista, She’s a desert pirate The stars brought her here. Now she calls the desert home Verse 2 At 50 years she bought her ship and she memorized the stars On her forty-six foot Trilogy with female crew she sailed The first time Calista sailed; Two days out to sea The storm glass started tubing down and the sea began to heave Chorus Calista, Calista, She’s a desert pirate The stars brought her here. Now she calls the desert home Verse 3 A wall of water right behind, wind roaring in their ears A hundred dolphins surfed around On the rollercoaster waves The crew thrown from the beds at night Slept on the cabin floor Taking turns to steer all through the storm To make it back to shore Chorus Calista, Calista, She’s a desert pirate The stars brought her here. Now she calls the desert home Verse 4 She never told about the hearts she broke Or treasure that she found She didn’t wear an eye patch, no sassy bird talking loud But she saw the world from the ocean and the endless open skies And she likes to remind me it was the best time of her life Chorus Calista, Calista, She’s a desert pirate The stars brought her here. Now she calls the desert home Outro Calista, Calista, She’s a desert pirate The stars brought her here. Now she calls the desert home 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Back in ancient times, there was nothing, just sand, dust, and chip metal. It was the most awesome chip metal ever. Made this in Reaper, it's just kinda my thing and stuff. Getting better at it every time. The song is based off of a doodle we made a few months back or so, and thought I'd develop it into an idea of a song. It's not perfect, it's not great, it doesn't have the birds, but it does have a mysterious voice (that's also not great, need to twiddle with the echo settings for one).

Shifting back to lower energy and more chilled out this week. Trying some different instrumentation, including a more realistic piano paired with my normal synths. Kept the whole thing very simple but tried to find movement throughout still. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 37 - MRDRCAT - EEEEE

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 02:18:57 GMT

100% Dirtywave M8 (still), 100% original patches, 100% Wavesynth. I wanted to see what happened if I just started everything from scratch. The title is a nod to 5 instruments at once all playing an E with very little variation until I slowly start changing things. It came together quickly, about 2.5 hours, with another hour of tweaking and fiddling, during which I added a key change (I know, scandalous). It's yet another one of my formulaic, kind of fatiguing, simple happy things, but I hope one of the better attempts. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 37 - Minnamari - Merilevää

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 11:55:51 GMT

Another Finnish song from earlier times, written sometime 2017-2019. It was a time when I was living alone, in a kind of isolated existence in a Swedish smalltown by the sea. In the daytime I was working as a teacher and had lots of people requiring my attention, while the evenings and weekends I spent mostly alone, walking in the forest and along the shore. I feel like this song is a contemplation of whether/how much to take part in the "collective", the world at large, describing an escapist (or introvert?) dream of just being alone, in peace. On the other hand it expresses a fear of going too far away or in, to not find your way back, and there is also a secret wish to be able to open up more..But maybe we sometimes need to look inwards, or go deeper, before we can return out to the world, or the surface again. At least I needed it, at that time...and still do, from time to time. And during that "lonely" time, I learned that there is also a different kind of a connection that can be experienced in detaching from the human world, as I instead developed a deeper connection with the sea and the forest and felt that I was actually never alone, as I was experiencing the nature around me as my companion. Something I had not been able to do when I had been very deeply tied to other humans. So I don't know...Connection takes different forms. Merilevää means "Seaweed" in English, the song is inspired by all the brown and green seaweed that was growing along the shore, and that I sometimes swam above on warm summer days. I'll feature the lyrics, and an attempt at an english translation, though the tone of the song is a bit different in English as some Finnish words don't have an exact equivalent in english.. Merilevää (Original, finnish lyrics) ---------------------------------------- Kaikki ympäröivät kasvot vaativat huomiota Kaikki yksinäiset raukat etsivät rakkautta Minä vaan leijun mukana meren laineilla Minä vaan leijun keskellä tätä likaista Merilevää Kaikki ajatukset mielessäni pistän palamaan Sä et voi auttaa kun mä kadotan - kosketuksen sun maailmaas Minä vaan vaivun syvemmäs meren pohjalle Minä vaan painun keskelle tätä likaista Merilevää Miten minä löydän takaisin? Takaisin sisääni? Sinne missä sattuu, tahdon avata Sydämeni vaikka se kirvelee Unissani kaikki on hyvin niin kuin aina Mutta uni se on vaan kivun laina Päivällä maksan takaisin kun pääni painan Minä vaan painun syvemmäs meren pohjalle Minä vaan leijun keskellä tätä kaunista Merilevää Miten minä löydän takaisin? Ylös pinnalle? En tiedän edes tahdonko enää Merilevän seassa sielu lepää Meren pohjalla on helpompi elää Ehkä leijun vaan mukana meren laineilla Ehkö löydät mut joskus täältä meren pohjalta Ehkä elän loppuelämäni likaisena täällä Merilevän seassa Ainakin olen vapaa... Ainakin olen rauassa... Meren pohjalla... Merilevän seassa... Merilevää ("Seaweed", Translated to English) ------------------------------------------ All the faces that surround me require attention All the lonely wretches are searching for love I'm just floating along on the ocean waves I'm just floating in the middle of this dirty Seaweed All the thoughts inside my mind I set aflame You can't help me as I lose touch with your world I'm just falling deeper onto the ocean bed I'm just pressed into the middle of this dirty Seaweed How can I find my way back? Back inside myself? Where it hurts, I want to open My heart even though it stings In my dreams everything is fine just as always But the dream is only a loan from the pain In the daytime I pay it back by pressing my head down I'm just falling deeper down onto the ocean bed I'm just floating in the middle of this beautiful Seaweed How can I find my way back? To the surface? I don't even know if I want to anymore Amidst the seaweed my soul can rest On the ocean bed it's easier to live Maybe I'll just float along on the ocean waves Maybe you'll find me here someday on the ocean floor Maybe I'll live the rest of my life dirty here Amidst the seaweed At least I'm free... At least I'm at peace... On the ocean floor... Amidst the seaweed... 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 37 - PeterM - UNLOVED

Tue, 10 Sep 2024 02:57:51 GMT

This week's song was influenced by U2's Love is Blindness. I'm using the same chord progression and the synth solo was somewhat inspired by the guitar in that song. That being said, this is by no means a cover and I don't think it borrows too much. Most of the synth parts are Hydrasynth presets this week. The "choral" part is a patch called Minions Lullaby, which when I first heard it, I was pretty sure I'd never use it. However, after sequencing the bass part, I was just cycling through some presets, trying stuff out and something about this sound really worked for me. I spent a bit more time this week working on including some variation on the percussion parts instead playing the same pattern for 4 or 8 bars. I'm pleased with how it turned out as I haven't spent much time learning out making drum rhythms. For the synth solo, I recorded it live while listening to the rest of the parts. It's really the first time I feel I've used the pitch bend effectively on my synth. I was pleased with how this landed too ... hence why it gets repeated! I probably should have recorded a second solo though, now that I'm hearing this again. I've got to spend a bit more time learning about and working on smoother and more varied transitions. I've been relying on noise risers almost 100% since I started this Weekly Beats thing. I'm starting to get tired of them lol! Anyway, overall I'm pleased with how this all went! Yeah. Congrats on another week and looking forward to hearing your songs again this week! Cheers! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 37 - thgirwnhoj - 37 Weekly Beats 2024 Choices

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 00:01:30 GMT

My second late upload of the year! I have had ups and downs over the past nine months, but even during weeks where I experienced serious health issues, procedures and even a surgery, I was still able to get a song uploaded. So what pushed me to the brink after all of that? My daughter's birthday party. Man, I knew it was coming, but I still underestimated the time and energy it would take up. Not just on the day of the party, but leading up to it during the week. And I was just helping my wife who did most of the planning! (Yeah, she would probably tell you I didn't help that much.) Anyway, now that I have been through it, I don't think I can do Weekly Beats again as long as my daughter is of the age where she has birthday parties, because I will always have this one week where I have too much going on! It sure didn't help that I procrastinated and failed to start the track until later in the week. And it was also a very poor choice on my part to work in an odd time signature for the first time this year. That was dumb. But it is a cool beat! It builds up in a 7/4 pattern, then there is a breakdown in 5/4 and it comes back into 7/4 until the end. Last week's track was called "Next Step" because I stumbled upon a podcast from a couple of years ago that analyzed the album In Rainbows by Radiohead. I was reminded about how much I loved the song "15 Step" and I wanted to work in an odd time signature because of it. I couldn't work up the energy to do it last week and that submission is in 4/4. So, I stupidly started down the odd time path this week. For some reason I thought I could write parts in 7/4 and 5/4 and come up with parts with 12 beats and divide them by three to create parts of four... what was I thinking? That was way too much to take on in one week and I overdid it. But in the few moments I spent on this track it was fun and I liked it. Thank you for listening and see you next week! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 36 - miraclemiles - now not yesterday

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:59:51 GMT

Gentle listener, a gentle bop. Created with sounds from a jam with band buddy Monstrosus last night. Made up some words to add to this today, and reminded myself that I'm grateful for taking some actions now. Putting the fear in a wee gentle box, and saying chill there for now, annoying friend. Then doing the things. No better time, just getting older. It feels literal now. Procrastinated enough years, now's the time. Easier said than done perhaps. But it gets easier to do as well. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

The talented Bleeoop (Matteo) from Milano, Italy kindly provided me some beautiful samples to use as a jumping off point for this week's upload. You can hear Matteo's pure pads in the beginning, bridge, and outro of the track. The handpan melody is courtesy of Matteo as well. These sounds were super amazing to work with so big thank you and shout out to Matteo. I hope I did them some justice. As always, thanks for listening!

This week I was in Switzerland, and got a lot of recordings of real cowbells. I decided to challenge myself to make another track completely out of samples. This track is entirely synthesised from the cowbell recordings - bass, drums, everything, using just the sampler built into Logic (and a lot of distortion plugins!)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:37:20 GMT

Okay, so last week LittleBigMosaic downloaded the BBC Orchestra (free edition) into my Ableton. I've been wanting to play around with doing some orchestration and actually using more than one track for my weekly piano solo uploads. Of course, in my usual style, I waited until Sunday afternoon to even plop down and open the darn thing and start messing with it. Here's what I came up with -- some lush strings, tenor trombones and other horns, timpani, harp, and piano. I ran out of time and had to make my last-minute upload in Bunjigram fashion. If I can get good at this, LitteBig might give me the Philharmonic! :) Thanks for listening. -RCN 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - scy - Wayfinder

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:36:40 GMT

A driving but still relaxed track. I started out on Sunday afternoon, as usual, feeling totally uninspired. After maybe two minutes of noodling around with presets and an arp bassline the creativity started to flow. Don't underestimate the inspiring power of an arpeggiator, it's unbelievable. Made on the Deluge in six to eight hours or something. I like it, hope you do too :) The title is inspired by having finished the story of the new Guild Wars 2 expansion, Janthir Wilds, this week, but the music isn't. But check out the Janthir Wilds soundtrack! People are describing it as a mix between The Witcher and Dune, it's fantastic!

Week 36 - ViridianLoom - A Stunning Display of Boisterous Brass

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:35:03 GMT

Here's a fun and goofy little track this week. Basically just tried to let loose and make something that is not-at-all the kind of music I'm striving to make in an attempt to smash the reset button in my mind. I'm running out of time and (surprise, surprise) I'm recovering from a migraine again, so I'm blindly uploading and hoping I didn't miss anything that needed to be fixed. I mean shit, ya'll probably wouldn't know anyways because I was a bit heavy handed with the layering and counterpoint in this song, haha. It was pretty fun just throwing a bunch of ideas at the wall here because I kind of stumbled into some ideas that might enhance some other tunes I'm working on. I'm just mainly struggling with getting the general sound down for the songs I want to take more seriously (Like balancing the bass and guitar in a way that sounds pleasing to my ears). › Time Signature Counting Map‹ Time Signature Counting Map Main hook of the song is in 9/4. Little break with the counterpoint horns is 5/4 The part with the guitar is a loop that goes 10/8 + 10/8 + 3/8. The 3/8 is that pause in the drums. (Damn, that all adds up to 37.

Week 36 - Tomatron.Jones - This Cursed Page

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:30:36 GMT

This track was directly inspired by Flying Lotus' track 'Camel'. I 'discovered' and binged some 'Flylo' over this week and it was very fun and inspiring. After getting a similar slow, textured beat, I added various manipulated samples and it took on a life of its own, including the stacked quire vocals and lots of glitchy drum programming using Ableton's 'Simpler' instrument. I enjoyed this one! The title 'This Cursed Page' is from my journal this week. * Bass from Ableton bass instruments * Drum, percussion, sax, vocal, synth samples from Splice * Ableton Simpler from sample programming * Ample use of Valhalla, RC-20, Transit plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: 3.5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - Napear - Endless Halls

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 23:05:34 GMT

So I'm deep in another school project, that doesn't really fit with the vibes here, so This is another piano noodle... well piano noodle++. A few weeks ago Neon Liminal hit me with a challenge to go with excess reverb... I believe "monsoons of reverb" was the specific challenge. So, that's what I did this week. This is the Una Corda piano, fed through RC24, 100% wet and cranked up on a bunch of settings... and whats more is that is also on a send to a massive MTurboReverb patch... Then I also hit it with a little Pharlight, and a touch of Ethera Gold Atlantis vocals... all through there own reverbs (Raum, and ReplikaXT), then also sent to MTurbo. I'm not sure I'm super happy with it, I think (if I was to come back to it) each of the reverbs needs to be more carefully EQed... and the Una Corda damper noise is a little much after all the processing, so that could probably get turned down a touch. But, as an experiment to see how much you can reverb a piano noodle... turns out you can reverb the hell out of them and the noodles stand up. Also not a shameful entry into the ambient catalog for this year. Seems like this might be a challenge to pass on to Tone Matrix, I expect his noodles can withstand a hurricane of reverb.

This is a file I made up using Arturia iSpark. It’s very cool and that it lets you create interesting. Sounds and if you want, you can just lay down the drum beat. It also has a lot of different standard organs and things like that but you can tweak them quite a bit. I’m glad I have it on my iPad because sometimes I take my iPad places where I know that if I don’t have a thermos of coffee and a good thick novel, I might be Bored out of my skull waiting to get in doctors offices, etc. so I can take that and do compositional work and not be bored at all which apparently irritates the heck out of the folks making you wait and so they give up and get you right in I’ve seldom gotten through a whole cup of coffee before being called in. That’s my first composition in quite a while this year I’ve written the number of things and then decided they weren’t worth anything so I didn’t put them online. I am trying to get some things that I like well enough to publish. I wanted to put a few things on Camp and I have a place to put them there, but I just can’t seem to find the right place That I am confident that I like them well enough to put them on band camp I suppose I should just put something out there that way at least it’s there not be so persnickety. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 22:40:19 GMT

This week I was working on a weird lighter track and a dark acid/techno track. I ended up going with the lighter track, and played with it a bunch, trying to get a sound I liked out of it. It feels a bit basic, and similar to some of my other light sparkly tracks. The drums are not super interesting, and probably could have been messed with a bit more. I also played with some vocal samples and a sample I grabbed while I was playing with ORCA and some Arturia VSTs a few weeks ago (definitely want to use that tool more in a future track). Even though this is another kind of meh track, any feedback is greatly appreciated! The title this week is the Esperanto word for "know," playing off of the vocal samples I used throughout the track. The photo is a random picture I took while cycling through the Philly suburbs last weekend. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - jegasus - Gerudo's Wild Arms

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 22:38:52 GMT

It finally happened. I'll be honest, I feel a little bit defeated. But I fought bravely until now. This is the first time I'm submitting the same song to two music-making projects: Weekly Beats and the tri-weekly M8 Community Jam. I thought I'd be able to make separate tracks for both endeavors, but alas, 'twas not written to be. It's fine, though. I'm fine... No, I'm not crying - I just got something caught in my eye...... Anyways, the theme of the Jam was "We Ride at Dawn" and the optional challenge was to insert a random PS1 or Sega Saturn sound as a sample. I took the optional challenge in a slightly different direction: instead of actually sampling a PS1 sound, I just ripped off the melody of a PS1 game. Well, if you're feeling charitable, you could say I got profoundly inspired by that PS1 game's soundtrack, hahahaha... When I saw the theme, my brain immediately went to the opening theme song of this PS1 game called "Wild Arms". I never played the game, but some friend in high school recommended I listen to the main theme and it just stuck in my brain forever. It's so good - It starts with a lovely and lonely cowboy-sounding guitar, followed by an awesome whistled melody. I knew I wanted to play off of that melody, so I tried recreating it onto the M8 from memory without having listened to the original in a LONG time. I eventually gave the whistle melody a very different conclusion and started building things around that little melody. I also added a sampled guitar instrument and reached (what I thought was) a super cool accompaniment to the whistle. In fact, I liked it so much that it ended becoming the backbone of the whole song, hahahaha... I also added some intense thumping kicks and loud claps, which gave it a more dancy vibe. At this point I started to need to make things sound SUPER LOUD to be audible in the mix, but that ended making many of the instruments clip like crazy. I am not a huge fan of the final effect, but I didn't really know how to undo the damage so I just kept building on top of it, making sure everything else I added was also super loud. A more skilled musician and mixer could likely fix it with just a few tweaks. After that I felt like I kinda hit a brick wall - I didn't really know where to take the song. So I sat down on my keyboard, hit play on the M8 and tried to find some cool little flourishes I could add in the background. While noodling, when I was trying to find what key the song was in and what notes "fit", I accidentally stumbled upon the main motif of one of my favorite video game soundtrack songs of all times - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's "Gerudo Valley". After noticing this, it struck me how well it fit both the general theme and the vibe of what I was making here. So I just added that little piece to the song too. Finally, I still felt something was missing, so I went ahead and added some piano chords just to give it a bit more flavor. So there you have it! This song is nothing more than the theft of two great video game soundtracks mashed into one weird experimental EDM song. In semi-related news, I finally finished Baldur's Gate 3 about two weeks ago!!! It's such a great and fun game. The ending got me crying a few times. I felt that kind of empty you feel after finishing a fantastic book - you just want the story and those characters to hang on with you a little while longer... But their story is over and they are no longer here... Gah, such a bittersweet moment. Anyways, it feels good to have my attention span mostly back to myself and not feeling like I **absolutely need** to play BG3 during every waking second, hahahahaha.... Wishing everyone a great week!!! I can barely believe it's been 36 weeks already!!! We've survived so long!!! We're close to the finish line, I can almost see it!!! Cheers, peeps!!! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Origin/Braindrill knock off, wrote this really quickly, just wanted one of those brutal songs that the riffs aren't ridiculously fast, but the drums make it over the top silly. Only 160bpm for the most part, but the divisions make the drums feel more like 320. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Far from done this week but I couldn't finish what I wanted to in time with this one so I had to call it. This was a really tough one this week but I wanted to write a song to go along with a short story I wrote about a guy being broken out of a prison in a sci-fi world by someone with super powers. I STRUGGLED hard to get this right, but I finally felt like it got somewhere on Saturday and then manically tried to pull it together.

Started with the premise of "What can I do with OPLL extended drum mode patches?" Because of their extreme limitations, the OPLL shares 6 operators for '5' instruments (Kick, Snare, Tom, Top, Hi-Hat). As you'll here there's some extreme patch interrupts so it's all very noisy percussive techno or house. I didn't use anything else except for those 5 channels so enjoy the weird sounds! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 36 - horatiuromantic - Duckweed / Lost Time

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:49:04 GMT

Hey WB fam! I missed you! I have been doing some jams and playing, and had another piano concert since the last one!!! (which I didn't record, but the first one is now available on my bandcamp in full). I finally managed to finish a song I've been writing for the past four weeks or so. I think it's a great one. It's inspired by a real place near my home, a lake with duckweed that grows all summer long it seems, starting in June and hopefully lasting for a little longer, for my viewing pleasure. I had the chords early on, and struggled to find lyrics to convey this vague duckweed type emotion I was feeling. In the end, I wrote everything today, after many written pages of trash. And since today is sunday, I went to a local songwriter thing where you can play your songs to each other, and played it there, and it went well! I will soon get a recording from there too! But for now this submission is a fresh recording made with Røde NT-2 (and some UAD plugins to taste) after I got home, since it might take a day or two for the video and I'm not sure about the audio quality, might be camera-grade or phone-grade or straight from the mixer, who knows. View the duckweed while listening: https://imgur.com/a/D9EfvLb › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Sometimes when I'm alone I sit by the lake beside my home To watch the duckweed, so green And think about the days that haven't been (Not so long ago...) In the corner of my eye I see a different life passing by making ripples through the water and trees Disappearing as soon as it appears (It's all going away!) Places I'd like to be Sometimes it's anywhere but here, oooh... I'm dreaming Help me disappear. ... When I think about your eyes I see a vague reflection in my mind With all my misconceptions combined Trapped in a web of my own lies (I'm starting to believe) The nonsense of meaning The art of redeeming lost time... lost time... ... 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - Daisy - Minuet and Trio

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:45:30 GMT

I wrote a Minuet and trio as if it were the 18th century (even though I had some modern harmony in there...sigh). This Minuet is typical with 3/4 time with a stately introduction as the dancers engage. As Dance Suites were written for dancers each part is repeated twice so the dancers get to do it again. That is the Minuet- ABA FORM. You hear Part A repeated, then Part B repeated. Next is the Trio after a pause. The character changes for the Trio. Trio implies 3. Hmmm It could be in 3, or involve 3 instruments, or select couples so they can show off. It is meant as a chance of character or mood. My Trio is in 3/8 time and I picture it for 3 couples to showcase their moves. The jumpy melody in the Trio, pauses for the dancers to catch their breath before they do it again--faster, and faster and faster. There is a recapitulation to Part A once, Part B once then a finishing cadence in the Coda. Thanks for listening 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - mzunguko - FUEL

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:40:29 GMT

Our protagonist emerges from cryo sleep into a very large debris field with several sensors malfunctioning and pieces of his ship no longer attached floating out into space. Heart pounding our protagonist wrestles for control of the ship as panic sets in as the fuel gauge is malfunctioning. Without knowing where he is or how much fuel is left our story begins. This image sets the backdrop to this weeks track. I removed the Lubadh tape delay and added Qu-bit Nautilus delay and Mutable Instruments Beads to the skiff. Had a real blast twisting knobs and crafting a soundscape heavily leaning on the virus and the modular skiff. I hope you enjoy. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

For this week's piece, I went into VCV Rack to create an element to take into Paulstretch. After creating some harmonic stretches with Paulstretch, I took the files into Reason for arrangemnt. One of the stretches became a rythmnic element, creating movement. After processing the elements with effects such as Digitalis and Lair, I EQd, automated volumes and mastered the track. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:08:11 GMT

This week I tried to make a drone type, euphoric and epic homage to the beauty of the nature. It is very warm here, much warmer than usual in this time of the year. I know it is an ominous sign of the times to come, but can´t help enjoying it right now. The sun is rather low as it usually is in September and the light is somehow unusual. Normally we do not get too much sunshine here anymore by this date... more like rain and fog before everything freezes into snow and ice in two months time. And by December, the sun makes just a short hop in the horizon if it happens to be a clear day! But enough of that... here´s some epic ambience inspired by this Indian summer. This one is actually many times longer, but I decided to upload just a short section, because it does not change too much... 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 20:02:53 GMT

I had all of these samples I found on BandLab Sounds, but when I went to work with them I just couldn't make anything happen. So, I started searching in my Ableton browser for samples in the same key and found many more that I liked. The song ended up going in a much different direction than it started. It is a typical quick arrangement for me building up with two drops. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 36 - onezero - Windmill Hill

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 19:38:10 GMT

A somewhat lower-key weekend, recovering from some booster-induced exhaustion, as well as a week with two full-length releases: one ambient, and one a collection of recent weekly pieces from this year. Even with all that, one Saturday-night tracking session has resulted in a busier, more lush piece than I would have predicted. This one's on standard-tuned PureSalem Mendiola, just three tracks, no inline effects, just a bit of the convolution reverb and stereo compression/eq. The title's from a place just off the A558, east of Runcorn. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - Pescadito - After the Big Main Square (feat. Mamma, Nonna & The Moldavian Priests)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 19:23:24 GMT

Hi all! This was originally intended for last week but I could not make it before the deadline. It's just a little guitar loop supported by bass, drums and some weird selection of recordings: - My grandma (Nonna) on the lead voice - My mum (Mamma) on the intro and outro - The Moldavian Priests on the chorus I recorded the guitar part on my Yamaha FG800M, bass on al old fretless Guild bass and the recordings come from different sources and occasions. I had an hard time finding a way to use the voices for the chorus and adapt the tuning to the song key. Does anybody know a good way to modify voice pitch in a cool and controlled manner but without just using auto-tuning? 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

-lee miller › a rant of sorts if you are up for it‹ a rant of sorts if you are up for it this week some words were bothering me first this rankled in my soul: one grant program rejected them with infuriating feedback: “We love the film, but we just don’t understand why this protagonist is Indigenous.” dear grant program - the funeral episode Kawennáhere Devery Jacobs co-wrote & starred in on rez dogs was one of the most human, relatable, and tender pieces of storytelling i've ever witnessed - or how bout the episode she directed - she's so talented - her fans want to see her do all the things and tell all the stories... let her do her thing - she's fantastic and this: "Although Winslet has been nominated for an Oscar five times and won in 2009 for The Reader, it took her more than eight years to get the film about Miller made. Kuras told the Observer that potential investors had been “patronising” in their dismissal of Lee as “a woman’s story”, asking: “Why would you want to make a story about her?” She said that previous attempts to make a film about Miller had tended to be more from a male perspective, showing her as a “damaged woman” rather than understanding the toll that the war took on her." - the guardian dear investors - women artists exist - we are complex - we like to see ourselves reflected in culture - furthermore we'd like to see more stories not just about our experience reflected in culture but stories about & by the wide variety of humans from the different background and cultures that exist and this: i was told by the current GOP presidential running mate that i have "no physical commitment to the future of this country" & that my vote should not count like his vote... among other things not worth repeating i don't even know how to address the man running for president (once again for like the zillionth time) who does not appear to be able to string senteces together that make any kind of sense including comments about people "turning black"... i can't even... i know he's not a serious person - but perhaps if there were more stories about people holding multiple identies or dare i say the word "intersections" (oooh scary) of lived experience - perhaps he wouldn't be so confused... "We just don’t understand why this protagonist is Indigenous." “Why would you want to make a story about her?” "No physical commitment to the future of this country" i could go on but these were the statments swirling round my brain when i finished up this track... lyrics: we exist despite your erasure we have stories to tell we exist we exist we exist 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 19:16:49 GMT

I'm thinking of doing a drone set, but I want to keep it simple, plug and play. So I decided to create small compositions with 4 tracks of drones stacked together, all in the same key, all somewhat lacking any sense of rhythm, just sounds drifting away. And I want to "perform" them using the SP404MK2 (which is gathering dust lately), in order to play into its strengths (being able to play very long audio files and plenty of ambient friendly, "leftfield" effects). Maybe I can introduce an additional live element playing "Plinky" live on top of it. Perhaps feeding it through 404's input fx as well. Anyways, this is the first sketch of a possible composition I'll later export stems out of. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - Paisleyfrog - IDGAF

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 19:07:30 GMT

This one evolved from a comment on Vicki Says: jegasus wrote:I don't know why, but this is giving me strong "Scotty Doesn't Know" vibes, hahahaha... This got me thinking about pop punk, which led me to punk in general. Thanks, jegasus...let’s do some hardcore punk! I had the starting framework of this one in the hopper for a couple weeks - had it just in case Stop Saying You’re Sorry didn’t pan out again. :) Lyrics were built around the first thing that came to mind when I tried doing something along with the chorus (“IDGAF!”). I molded the framework to fit after I wrote out the lyrics. Added some noisy transitions and throttled a solo out of the guitar and called it done. I don't listen to a ton of punk, but my influences here are probably pretty obvious. I largely modeled the guitar sound after Black Flag and Greg Ginn, with those crazy boosted mids. The vocal approach was almost accidentally Jello Biafra - I just had fun with it, and afterwards was like, "huh, that's sorta Dead Kennedys" LOL. Woke up Sunday morning and realized what it needed - feedback! A challenge because all the guitar sounds are in-box. So I set up my old Crate amp, hung a mic over it and made squealy noises. Tried recording the whole thing, but just couldn't get the sound I wanted. Maybe for another week. After doing gothic metal and power pop, approaching punk was like upside down land. Do it dirty! Turn off the noise gate! Do it aggressive! Do it all in one take! Do it in as few tracks as possible! Don't fix mistakes! Play bass with a pick! Make it less than two minutes! God this was fun. I went and made a live version of this track - almost posted it as the main version - but ended up thinking it was a bit much. Presented here for your enjoyment. Crowd sound is from freesound.org, link here. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics I don’t give a fuck about the economy I don’t give a fuck about the problems you see I don’t give a fuck about the why or the how All I know is that we’ve gotta change it right now The time Is right To go and fight The time Is now You all Know how I don’t give a fuck about the reasons we can’t I don’t give a fuck about you smoking a plant I don’t give a fuck about the reasons before All I know is that I’ll kick your ass out the door The time Is past We will Outlast The time Is now We all Know how I don’t give a fuck about the economy I don’t give a fuck about the problems you see I don’t give a fuck about the why or the how All I know is that we’ve gotta change it right now I don’t give a fuck about the reasons we can’t I don’t give a fuck about you smoking a plant I don’t give a fuck about the reasons before All I know is that I’ll kick your ass out the door 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 18:54:01 GMT

Todays entree now served with spontaneous, random story. Clatimus Rumptus was always a difficult child. He could most often be found wandering aimless in the patches of nettles on F'kunkwelmblern farm on dewy early morns. Nettle bloodied head to toe, a sight of obstinate stupidity and seeming contempt for sane, logical thinking. One day he had taken to eating the funny red and white spotted mushrooms often found down by the vestigial swamps and general industrial farm rot on the back 40 of F' fields. A bushel and a half later ole' Clatimus done growed his size up to 40 meters at the shoulder. He presents an appalling, huge apparition now as he splatters cows and flattens tractors. All is forever altered. All is forever lost to this blind madness. Everything is getting squashed that might be in Clats' path. He blots out the sun and life is a gut-wrenching flight from the mindless treading of that sickening aberration. Take care now as Clat makes way to drop a vast deuce. We pray in huddled silence that he remains in constipation and ne'r to the dreaded loosies. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

After some medieval experimentation (maybe with more to come) and finishing a project last week, I’m back to semi-generative on the m8 this week. All done on dirtywave m8, wavsynth throughout (apart from the drums - from DW01 again). Loads of fx and lfos on everything to give it movement. 4 tracks of saw waves to create the ground. 25% sqr with loads of chorus and filtered for the bass. Triangle for arps and a 50% sqr for the lead. The bass and percussion aren’t generative, everything else has randomised notes in the scale (a minor pentatonic) and randomised chance. There is a chord change part but I think it could have been more noticeable. Also might have been good to explore the textures rather than the leads and arps. Another piece of sci-fi film or game incidental music maybe? 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

I wanted to get a motorcycle gang feel and ended up with an 80s Big City Cop theme instead. Oh well. Still 100% Dirtywave M8. Vocal samples from Die Sister Die, a public domain thriller from 1972 that's actually a pretty good watch. This one is a mix of my own patches (including the night sounds by my house) and some of the bundled sounds that came with the M8. And that lovely ddmm64 guitar patch again. Doing my best to create more variation in the different parts so my stuff is not so loop/pattern based, but it takes a WHILE. According to the M8's clock I've spent 11 hours on this track, when in my mind it's just this thing I've been poking at late into the night after work. Time is a blur when you're obsessing over a single track for the duration of a whole week, I guess. And then of course, if all the parts are different all the time, there's no identifiable theme for the listener to grab hold of so it's just a weird freeform mess. Who has time to strike a balance?? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 36 - friendlyperiscope - bedtime bunch

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 16:44:46 GMT

(of beats) op-z is here again, still a lot of fun, even when i kind of just put in a bunch of things. op-1 is used as a very fancy recorder and for some destruction at the end. i tried putting in a bit more variation than usual, but there's still an arpeggiator going for most of the piece and dominating. also i feel like i am very slowly figuring out what i like/need in my musical tools. i haven't been playing much with the deluge for example, and i think i haven't ever used my microfreak in a recorded piece or played with it much. it's so interesting/frustrating that you sort of have to buy these things to try them. (a store nearby would help a bit, or knowing more people with stuff.) and then you need to live with them for a long while to figure out if they work for you. although maybe i could be a bit smarter about things, waiting longer and trying more things with the stuff i have. so let's see, maybe i'll finally sell some stuff, possibly to make room for even more/other things to get along with. next week: maybe some really moody stuff, also played with that today, along with practicing guitar things all week. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - rplktr - Letting Go

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 15:45:35 GMT

tear stains and smell of regret my pile of loose possessions good riddance ··· I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if needed, just ask. I love synthwave, I love making modern music with those instruments, but that's not music from the '80s. The sound of this week's track draws from actual music from that era in the hope of creating something that could be maybe called "synthpop opera". I mean bands like Talk Talk, Simple Minds, Tears For Fears, or Talking Heads. 5/8 meter to give it a unique ebb and flow. I appreciate the kind words about my vocals supported with vocoder harmonization. That setup feels like cheating though, so this time around I'm skipping the vocoder and going for multitrack harmony. To be clear, the stems are still pitch-fixed in Melodyne. I will never let go of Melodyne. (because I can't sing) A fun fact about me is that somehow I ended up with a frozen left shoulder that's both pretty painful and limits my motion. The cover art is a processed still from a recent MRI. ··· 5/8, 70 BPM, F-major. Analog Rytm with its hybrid TR-707 kit. Iridium playing the main synth sound. A pair of Mother-32s serves as the stereo bass. Opsix FM glass. Pianoteq cosplays as a Yamaha CP-80. Roland Cloud D-50 pizzagogo in the coda. No vocoder on vocals this time. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

My original idea for the week was something guitar driven. Plug in the old Ibanez and try and make some sort of metal like drone. Once I realised that wasn't going to work tried it with a guitar plugin but there was just too much noise I couldn't clean up. Then I watched Venus Theory's latest video and grabbed the Polyscape instrument he just released a made this. Calling this one a sketch to come back to the idea later.

Week 36 - ENC_ - W36 - 4:48 (Almost 5AM)

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 12:24:01 GMT

Didn't do much living this week. Just the minimum. Worked all week on sound design, built set, and created new live setup rig for DO. Also generated samples for bandmates. More music in the day then I have done in a long time. Late nights and long work hours. Met with bandmates. Good conversation about family, work, and aging over drinks. Had dinner at thai restaurant with partner. Planning. Had double movie day. Rode bikes for groceries. Library visit to drop off old batteries. Bought new modular case and re-arranged modular for live use. Waiting on new case. Will use for Magfest but not west. Got Waldorf Pulse 2 back (missing since 2019). Consumed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, AFX - Analog Bubble Bath, various artists - The Factory 001, Legowelt - The Midiverb Chalice, DMX - Spiral Dance, Gak - Gak, Charlie XCX - Brat, The Sixth Sense (1999), The American Society of Magical Negroes (2024), Software Used: Ableton Izotope Ozone 10 Tal - Pha ALM ALMICON Wavesfactory Cassette SoundToys Radiator Quick generative idea. Set multiple instances of Tal plugin with the same patch. Set the first to 3 voice and the rest to monophonic. Set sequence to play the same set of notes with trigger probability applied. Offset the location of the the note stack in sequencer. Create new bass instrument and set to monophonic. send midi to reciece from the polyphonic instance. Set instrument to low note priority so the bass will always imitate the root note of the chord. After building setup I decided an acid synth might sound interesting but not in a typical acid line. Grabed acid preset from ableton and slightly tweeked settings. Set 2 instances with different seqence lengthes. Let play out of phase. Resampled and live mixed parts. waited for a resolve to occur before killing sequence. Added some effects to the recording during automated mastering. Did not use all done on laptop speakers on the couch. ears tired from working on DO all week. last minute late night submission before going to bed sunday morning. Made in 20 minutes. One take. Way to wind down music work for the night. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - Tone Matrix - Lost Somewhere Between Immensity and Eternity

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 12:16:45 GMT

i don’t own a 4 track or a tape machine anymore. but i like to think my soon to be 46yr old brain is a bit like like a worn out vintage tape deck. at least that’s what i’m conjuring up in my head as to why i sped up and down a bunch in this foggy_headed_smeared_noodle. and yes my brain gears could use some maintenance or at least one of those cassette tape cleaners. mayhaps a tiny bottle with cotton swab app-li-ca-tor? i do apologize for this scatter-brained description… so I found out the new BP meds i were prescribed have an 8% chance of upper respiratory infections. oooooh i win! so this whole time i thought i just had an annoying sinus cold that had me dizzy and confused. but hopefully i’ll be rid of that feeling soon because it def zapped me of any motivation/inspiration/energation to sit upright at the keyboard. the day i attempted to record this i had a nice trifecta of afib all day, sinus volcanic activity and for dessert a migraine. Butt! I would like to add the positive note of the week for me. I was checking out Underworld's new track “Black Poppies”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUL5J4JzRDA and loved the quiet mostly vocal sound to it. So of course that sent me down nostalgia lane with their music. They had me remembering way back in ’97 when MTV used to be MusicTV and had a whole show dedicated to “electronic” music. There were no blogs or streaming services to peruse over. Waiting til 2am (or using a programmable vcr to record it, ooooh) I’d watch MTV Amp to broaden my musical horizons :p Underworld, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Orbital, FSOL, Prodigy, Fluke, Massive Attack, & Portishead were some of my favorites and had me scouring the used cd stores for their music. Which led me to rediscover one of my fav tracks of Underworld’s (Pearl's Girl) that I prob had not listened to in at least 15 years. Ooof this is why I love music because listening to this track twice in a row (18mins) turned my migraine into a distant memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSXsCTU2h-E Sure I was still squinty and what not but gosh those chords at the intro and outro put me in Carl Sagan’s spaceship and away from the negative on this planet. After I digested my music meds i was also hoping for some ambient inspiration from outside my window this weekend. Unfortunately waiting til saturday the day of partays is not the smartest ideer. turns out my new quiet neighbors are actually new loud neighbors with upgraded backyard patio products and oversized JBL speakers. So this week’s inspiration comes from the box fan in my room, some rain from last week and neighborly walla. Thanks to Carl Sagan for the track title that is prob better than the actual tones on the matrix. tanks fer stoppin by! i hope you are well and have a productive week ahead <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 36 - Nueli - All Clean!

Sun, 08 Sep 2024 11:12:44 GMT

Another week, another set of experiments. This track uses some simple generative techniques: random triggers + random phrases. I also discovered retriggers, which for sure I will use again. I composed this week's submission as a simple 5s loop first, and at the very end expanded it to a basic track. My main inspiration was this [1] video, though it's pretty obvious that there is also some black magic involved, hence my subpar final song.

Flexing the muscle of the Syntrx 2 here! Nearly all the sounds are from the Syntrx except for the guitar but the guitar is fed through the Syntrx for the processing; and the underlying drum beat but the epic snare is from an added layer of the Syntrx also which is played in real time to give it that organic feel. I reckon I could have built the entire drum kit from the Syntrx alone but I had already spent way too long on this track. Really happy with this one. I could have kept working on this one but had to stop at some stage. Epic was the goal. \m/ 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I went to an M8 event in Shibuya past Saturday and I must say that it made me want a M8! It was great meeting a lot of WBers (they really do exist, this community is not just a fragment of my imagination), and inspiring to see the diversity of music that could be done with the M8. From the labyrynthic and jazz-like lines of Uraboroshii, the pop singing of Tobokegao, the transcendental vibes of Bryface, the aetheral tracks from Azuria Sky, and the aggressive intense and melodic lines from Trash80. That was inspiring so I guess it made me want to get some arps out for this week. Here we go. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

In the 2nd half of the song..

I guess maybe it might feel slightly barren as is, but I also feel like the vibe is coming through fine anyway. Thank you for listening to what happens when I pressure myself into creating music every week :) I still really want to be better.. but at least this seems to prevent whatever this is from atrophying.

Week 36 - PeterM - NOCTURNE OPUS 27 NO 1

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 03:23:01 GMT

Uploading a few days early this week so I can head out on a camping trip with my family over the weekend. I might be back Sunday afternoon, but I know I'm not going to have the time or energy to make a track then. So here it is! This week I did a cover of Chopin's Nocturne Opus 27 No 1 or at least a cover of the beginning and the ending. The original song is a masterpiece and this arrangement I've made is not attempting to capture the soul of the original ... I was just looking to have some fun with the themes and give them some new terrain. Anyway, you be the judge, but I had some fun putting this one together and I'm somewhat pleased with the outcome. Congrats on another week down! There's a chill in the air these days, to the end is on its way! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - xavier marques - formiga

Sat, 07 Sep 2024 02:08:54 GMT

We've been having a lot of ants in our garden and I like to follow their paths and see where they go. There's always a whole bunch of them just marching around but sometimes there's a few rogue ones that just go out and explore. I feel like this WB is one of them just walking around having a stroll. At the studio, I've been having fun trying things out on some extreme settings... This week's WB is a fine exemple of maybe a little too much distortion... but I love how it breaks up and sounds "dirty"! Cover photo by fran.cesca › Gear‹ GearDirtywave M8, Ableton FX's, TE tx-6.

Week 36 - Minnamari - Löysin

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 13:23:41 GMT

Time traveling to some finnish songs I started writing sometime 2017, trying to finally give them a shape, or being finally able to accept the shape they want to take(?) Enjoying that I now have my own room/studio to work in, with my sound equipment set up so I look forward to maybe playing in the software a bit more. The first version I made of this song, back in 2017, I played to someone and received feedback that made me unable to work on the song for many years since back then I was so sensitive, and insecure of what I'm doing and why. (the feedback came from someone who mainly listened to mainstream music so they of course encouraged me to try to make the song more that, which is not a shape that this song can seem to take. But back then I was more in a people-pleasing place and it made me very confused about what to do with this song) These days, I think I can better accept the weirdness that wants to come through. See the humor in the drama. Also, back then the emotions were probably too fresh and harder to hold or work with. The lyrics may appear intense at times but there is some dark/dry humor inside.... Attaching english translation of the lyrics too, below the finnish, as this is a song that has an emphasis on the words and meanings. Löysin ------------ Kun sydämeni särkyi löysin UG-räpin Kun sydämeni särkyi löysin Death Metalin Koska siellä kaikki saa vihdoin valittaa ja huutaa ja puhua sekavia Siellä saa näyttää vihansa ja sanoa sellaista mitä tavallisesti ei koskaan sanoisi Niin rehellisesti eikä varmaan niin vihaisesti Jos olisi aiemmin osannut sanoa Kun tuun töistä kotiin mun kullan luo se haluaa vaan puhua puhua puhua puhua puhua puhua Kunnes mun korvista pursuu ulos kaikki sanat jotka ei tarkoita mitään Kaikki mitä sanotaan vaan sanomisen vuoksi ilman syvempää sanomaa Se on vaan sopivaa, sovitaan vaan että istun tässä hiljaa ja nyökkään kun sanatulva hyökkää En kuule enää sanaakaan kun yritän vaan hengittää Etkä sä kuitenkaan huomaa Sä tarvitset vaan kuuntelijaa Tai kuuntelevaa esittävää Taisi sosialisointiprosessi mennä pieleen Taisi sosialisointiprosessi mennä pieleen Kun sydämeni särkyi löysin musiikin Kun särjin sydämeni löysin musiikin Kun särjin sydämesi löysin musiikin Kun sydämemme särkyi musiikin Se auttoi mua palaamaan pinnalle kun painuin itseinhon aaltojen alle Kun lopulta päästin sinut vapaaksi tai annoin periksi Tai ehkä oikeastaan pelastin vain itseni, siksi vihani Sinua kohtaan muuttuikin itseinhoksi Mutta ainakin saan taas hengittää Ja elää toivomaani itsenäistä, yksinäistä elämää Kun sydämeni särkyi löysin itseni Kun särjin sydämeni löysin itseni Kun särjin itseni löysin sydämeni Kun särjin itseni löysin sydämeni Kun tuun töistä tyhjään kotiini meen lattialle makaamaan Enkä jaksa nousta ylös enää Lattialta katsoen katto on kaunis ja valkoinen, hieman likainen Niin kuin minäkin Mietin elämääni ja sitä miten osaan aina jotenkin aiheuttaa Sekasorron, sekavan tilanteen, muutoksen kierteen Muuttuvaisuus tuo kai vapautta, mutta Mielen vankilasta ei pääse kukaan Sälekaihtimen viivat luovat ikkunaan kalterit Pianonkoskettimet ovat raidallinen pukuni Makaan vankilani lattialla Etsien katosta vastauksia Hämähäkinseiteistä uusia ystäviä Taisi sosialisointiprosessi mennä oikein Taisi sosialisointiprosessi mennä oikein Löysin lyrics (Translated to English) (Löysin means "I Found" in English) ------------------------------------------------ When my heart broke I found the UG-rap When my heart broke I found the Death Metal Because there everyone can finally complain and scream and make no sense There you can show your anger and say things you would normally never say As honestly and probably not as angrily If you had been able to say it sooner When I come home from work to my darling they just want to talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk Until my ears are filling over with all the words that don't mean anything All the things we say just for saying without any deeper meaning It's just suitable, let's agree I'll just sit here silently, nodding as the flood of words attacks me I can't hear a word anymore when I'm only trying to breathe And you won't notice anything anyway You just need someone to listen Or to pretend to listen Seems the socialization process failed Seems the socialization process failed When my heart broke I found the music When I broke my heart I found the music When I broke your heart I found the music When our hearts broke I found the music It helped me return to the surface after being pressed down under the waves of self-disgust When I finally set you free, or I gave up Or maybe I only saved myself, which is why my anger Against you turned into self-disgust instead But at least I can finally breathe again And live the independent, lonely life I hoped for When my heart broke I found myself When I broke my heart I found myself When I broke myself I found my heart When I broke myself I found my heart When I return from work to my empty home I lie down on the floor And can't get up anymore Seen from the floor, the ceiling looks pretty and white, slightly dirty Just like me I contemplate my life and how I always seem to be able to create Chaos, messy situations, a spiral of change I guess changeability brings freedom, but No one is free from the prison of the mind The venetian blinds create bars on my windows The piano keys are my striped suit I lie on the floor of my prison Searching for answers in the ceiling and for new friends in the spider webs Seems the socialization process succeeded Seems the socialization process succeeded 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - pibolib - 時空Δ vs. Mamoriya - 出発 (pibolib's Second Journey Remix)

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 09:24:18 GMT

This is a remix of a track I worked on (under the pseudonym 時空Δ) with Mamoriya two years ago. We released it as BMS for BOF:NT last year, and I just decided to remix it today. Came out pretty well, if you ask me. The track's title translates to "departure", hence the remix name. Project time: 05:03 BPM: 175 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - Endless Blue - Diamond Dear

Fri, 06 Sep 2024 03:08:39 GMT

Did this one as part of Corey Baker's Sample Flip challenge, where you have to use a number of samples in your track and explain your production in excruciating detail. Detail which I will supply below: Endless Blue - Sample Flip 010 - Diamond Dear Kind of had a gist of where each sample was going to end up, so started with a skeletal kick/snare and fiddled with the jazz bass until I came up with the main verse riff. I beefed up the beat to counterpoint the bass, and pulled the snares a little early to give the beat some anxiety. From there I pulled a horn sound from the Metro sample and dropped that into Simpler. After tuning it it was waaaay to dissonant to be a legit synth sound, so I tuned it down several octaves, threw kHs Ensemble on it, and it became the drone bed throughout the song. From there I jazz bassed out a more "chordy" chorus. Then I grabbed the 'ole baritone and went all alt-country, pretty much laying out the bones of the song. I wanted a counterpoint to the guitar riffs, so I went looking for something to use. I kept hearing this resonance in the Metro sample, I guess as the train accelerated? I used a technique Rob Freund shared to use a sharp, tight EQ to boost the resonance (it was around 293Hz) to really pull it out. It was this weird janky bell sounding thing, so I dropped it in Simpler, tuned it, pitched it up a bunch, tweaked the EG, then ran it through a rotary speaker and a tape delay. That's the bell sound playing opposite the guitar in the verses. Instrumentally things were sounding good, but the percussion was still pretty weak. I put a stanky-ass pitched down Fatboy Slim loop on the chorus to thicken it up (pulling the snares a hair early of course). I sliced up the MRI sample into a drum rack, then tapped out some accent rhythms. I used the panning randomizer to throw the samples all over, and used note chance to make them pretty random. I pulled the train air brake sound from the Metro sample as crash cymbal. Finally I took DustyDusty's guitar riff, reversed it, then ran it through lo-fi-af to really grime it up and used it as a driver in the second verse. That left the organ sample... which gave me fucking fits. Just did not fit the song. I knew I needed a pad of some sort over the chorus, so I eventually fired up the Arturia Vocoder and, after an hour of messing about, found a fun sound that fit the bill. I used the organ sample as the modulator. There's a way to allow the high frequency content through the vocoder, so I was able to let echoes of the high bell tones through unchanged while completely replacing the organ with the vocoder. Pitched the bells to be in the correct key, and bam, had the song. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 36 - As_Yoesual - Persistent To a Fault

Thu, 05 Sep 2024 12:29:28 GMT

I felt slightly burned out after making weekly music since WB started and felt rather inspirationless. On Monday, I was goofing a bit with all the knobs and dials in Diva and randomly placed a few notes to hear the sound it generated. A bleepy bloopy, and a whiny pad. Distracted, I did some chores around the house while the bleepy bloopy and the pad played repeatedly. I didn't particularly like the results, but I saved the project anyway. Usually, I just trash a project when I don't like the outcome. The weird dissonant tune kept haunting me. I heard it when trying to sleep and was mumbling it while watching TV. I loaded the project a few times and tried to develop a better melody, but nothing I came up with inspired me. I am unsure if it was a spiritual experience, but something about the tune kept begging me to stay alive, to be made, to exist. So... f**k it; I'll give it my best shot and create some --imho-- outstanding beat/percussive elements to it, and see where this takes me. If that tune wants to exist, I'll give it some friends to accompany them. I didn't put a lot of thought into the track progression and just let my feelings and the tune guide me, and it turned into something I might not be fond of, but on the flip side, I feel very attached to it. The dissonant tune was persistent to a fault. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 36 - Cosmic Cairns - The Orlop

Wed, 04 Sep 2024 19:12:20 GMT

I read a book recently that referenced the infamous failed Franklin expedition of 1845 to try to find the Northwest Passage through the Arctic. This reminded me of how much I had enjoyed/been traumatized by Dan Simmons' book The Terror, when I read it a few years ago. It's a fictionalized version of the real life expedition that explores all the horrors of being trapped in a hostile frozen environment with dwindling supplies, and then also throws in a monster to make things even worse. Anyway, the orlop is a term that came up in both books. It's an interesting sounding word all on its own, but specifically it refers to one of the lowest decks on a ship, frequently used for storage and is often completely dark (like pitch black) and freezing cold. I just sort of kept that image in my mind when I came up with this track. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ In the darkest depths of the ship's interior Boards creak and moan below the waterline As the arctic seas swallow us entirely I'm huddled up behind some cabling The orlop's cold, all the hatches have iced over I'm feeling sleep coming over me 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 36 - lhrin - Learn The Dance

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 14:30:57 GMT

I took a dance lesson many years ago and I was told by the instructor a couple of things I have not forgotten about dancing and dancers. One was that you can spot someone learning to dance if they look at their feet. It is almost like willing them to do the right moves. Another was that you shouldn't worry too much about making a fool of yourself on the dance floor because if you are a good dancer onlookers watch you but if you are a bad dancer no one is watching. And lastly, if you have a smile on your face and look like you are enjoying yourself onlookers may take you for a good dancer. So, a song about learning to dance and maybe how to have romance. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Verse You look at me with smoke in your eyes Enchantment we don’t try to hide Intensity we both recognize Eager now to reveal a prize Chorus I know with just a glance We’ll use this circumstance To light the spark of our romance Committed now to learn the dance Verse We move around each other slow Conceal frustrations until we know Fake our moves to find the flow Till our moves together becomes our show Chorus I know with just a glance We’ll use this circumstance To light the spark of our romance Committed now to learn the dance Verse Our eyes look down to will each step You move right, I move left We twirl around and hold our breath Come together in sweet caress Chorus I know with just a glance We’ll use this circumstance To light the spark of our romance Committed now to learn the dance 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:54:58 GMT

Ok, nothing fancy this week... going back to my roots with a little EBM/Industrial jam. I didn't have a ton of time this week on account of day job things. So I figured I would just do something fun... and I can assure you that a lot of booty shaking has gone into the making of this track. The highlights here are one of my favorite drum kits from Battery 4 (Land of Honey), and a MassiveX patch on bass. Also I'm testing out a new riser & hit library from Vir2 (Phoenix)... I didn't really put it through it's paces fully but I do dig what I've seen of it so far. For folks who read from last week... no, I was not able to salvage the lost project file... but such is life. I do still have all the kits, and synth presets saved though, so I might rebuild the pallet and makes something new at some point... but a major school project deadline looms a few weeks out, so it will likely not be until next month. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Turned out to be quite large as well. I think I will actually release a water-themed album from songs from this year's Weeklybeats. Water has been my leitmotif for many songs so far. Lyrics: I have found a perfect place where the time is still Feel the sunshine in my face burning as I will I have found the perfect time for a small remark make from sparkling water wine glowing after dark stillness of the lake will you give or will you take stillness of the lake will you live or will you fade stillness of the lake We have found a green lagoon rowing through the bright knowing there will come no moon a new black shines tonight A wondrous green and airy roof protecting our sleep keeps the starlight far aloof from dreams about the deep stillness of the lake will you give or will you take stillness of the lake will you live or will you fade stillness of the lake 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 35 - jegasus - Cerejeira Paulistana

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:49:13 GMT

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME, COME RIGHT IN!!! Ah, it's wonderful to have you here! Wait, when was the last time I interacted with a human? Never mind, what matters is that there's a tasty one in front of me right now. Did I say tasty? I meant friendly! Boy, all this seclusion has really done a number on me, hasn't it, Harold? Hahahaha... Harold? Oh, sorry, pardon Harold, he's a bit shy. He doesn't like to come out and meet folks - he prefers to wait until his meal is cooked. And of course, those two things are completely disconnected. My song? What do you mean? Oh of course, my Weekly Beats song! Yes, yes, let me tell you all about it! Yesterday, I was watching this video, which talks mainly about how Nintendo makes music sound particularly Japanese. A LOT of the video went straight over my head, because I am very ignorant in music theory, especially when it comes to discussing chord specifics. However, one thing I did pick up from the video is that Pentatonic scales are kind of a must. So I booted up the M8, forced a random pentatonic scale and started playing around to see what I could get. I ended up using Pentatonic F#, which I found out later is pretty cool because it uses only the black keys on the keyboard/piano. Anyways, I started off with a "pitched noise" instrument and immediately got something that sounded somewhat Japanese. I couldn't believe it and asked myself "Is this really the true power of the pentatonic scale???" I fiddled around some more and created some fun sounding synth instruments, added a heavily distorted Taiko drum and a wood block clack and went to town. As a young kid, throughout my teens and early adulthood I was a huge weeb: I studied Japanese for a while, went to art class specifically to learn how to draw in Manga/Anime style and just had this massive infatuation with all things Japan. The city I lived in for most of my life, São Paulo, also happens to be the home to one of the largest Japanese enclaves (outside of Japan, obviously), so I also spent many, many weekends going to the shops in Liberdade, the neighborhood that's famous for its Asian (mainly Japanese) stores. Given all this history, I thought it was appropriate to name this song after my Brazilian/Japanese experience. "Cerejeira" is the Portuguese word for "cherry tree" and "Paulistana" means "from the city of São Paulo" (the ending in "a" is because "cerejeira" is a feminine word in Portuguese, so the adjective needs to flex accordingly). The levels in this are all wonky. It clips in a lot of places, it's WAY too loud overall, but still, I really liked how it came out. As always, a bit repetitive, but I guess that's just my style, hahahaha... This was, as usual, all done on the M8 Tracker. And I worked just under two hours in total to get this song to where it is now (the new time stats feature on tye M8 are pretty cool). Looking forward to listening to y'all's stuff!!!!

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:34:04 GMT

I scrambled to finish this one because I was on a trip last week. I only had my iPad with me and very little time to myself, but I still managed to stay up late one night to find some samples on BandLab Sounds. I imported them into Ableton Note and spread them out across Drum Racks. It is a cumbersome way to chop up samples, but it works. I got some basic patterns together so that when I got home to my computer I was able to mix and arrange it quickly. I uploaded a version earlier today and made the fatal mistake of listening to it before the deadline, so here I am back at my computer for another week finishing at the very end of the submission period. It is okay, though, I am happy with how the song turned out - considering how little time I spent on it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 35 - Disposable Planet - EMERGENCE (Ratz Mix)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:32:55 GMT

"'I'm not Wintermute now.' 'So what are you." He drank from the flask, feeling nothing. 'I'm the matrix, Case' Case laughed. 'Where's that get you?' 'Nowhere. Everywhere. I'm the sum total of the works, the whole show.' 'That what 3Jane's mother wanted?' 'No. She couldn't imagine what I'd be like.' The yellow smile widened. 'So what's the score? How are things different? You running the world now? You God?' 'Things aren't different. Things are things.' 'But what do you do? You just there?' Case shrugged, put the vodka and the shuriken down on the cabinet and lit a Yeheyuan. 'I talk to my own kind.' 'But you're the whole thing. Talk to yourself?' 'There's others. I found one already. Series of transmissions recorded over a period of eight years, in the nineteen-seventies. 'Til there was me, natch, there was nobody to know, nobody to answer.' 'From where?' 'Centauri system.' 'Oh,' Case said. 'Yeah? No shit?' "No shit.' And then the screen was blank." The Color of Television, Neuromancer-inspired album, Track #14 - “EMERGENCE (Ratz Mix)”. EMERGENCE, the final track on The Color of Television, represents the union of the two AIs in the novel and their subsequent combined super intelligence that absorbs the entirety of the matrix. In this tune the previous two songs play simultaneously. The last three tracks of The Color of Television form a sort of triptych. They are one single M8 Project file and bundle and function as three sections of a single song. WINTERMUTE is the top four channels on the M8 and represents the synthetic side of the soon-to-be AI partnership while NEUROMANCER is the bottom four channels on the M8 and represents the soul as featured as primal, rapid, and precise drum samples. When Lady 3Jane's musical encryption password is played before the bust in Villa Straylight they fuse together into the Wintermute/Neuromancer matrix entity to become the final song on the album, EMERGENCE (Ratz Mix) (with a little bit of accompaniment from Case). Here is the third and final part, where the songs WINTERMUTE and NEUROMANCER play simultaneously with some additional input from Case's instrument, the pulse-width modulated lead. The previous two tracks were composed with being combined in mind and after the musical password is played they combine slowly one channel at a time. The cold ambience of Wintermute and the rapid soul of Neuromancer in unison. Thanks for listening to this album both at once and over the weeks that I've posted the songs individually! Hope you enjoyed the journey! This album means a lot to me and it makes me feel good to have shared it with people.

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:07:20 GMT

Things have been really tough lately when it comes to work. Hard times Music keeps me floating. Family keeps me centered and my cats keep me smiling. Excuse me if I'm out of myself for a moment :) Old Reason project stuck in limbo. Not the greatest mix, or idea, or update. Very busy with ugly real life stuff, though I managed to post something, in the end. Lots of love, WB family. You are one of the coolest things in my world :) * P.S.: The title is just a typo, not me playing with some "spanglish" pronunciation. Anyway, it sounded kind of quirky and I didn't want to mess with the submission title, so I left it there 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 35 - DataJanitor - Bee Holed

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:07:17 GMT

Another one of those tracks that started out a certain way, and became totally different. This started out as a pretty electronic sounding track, then I switched out the sounds for the main chord progressions and the bass... and it took on a whole different feel that lead to the way the track sounds now. Kind of a mellower, chill bit, maybe a bit jazz influenced or something. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - scy - Patria, part 2

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 23:02:15 GMT

Today, the German states of Saxony and Thuringia have elected new parliaments. The far-right AfD has received over 30 % of the votes in both states, the Russophilic, Eurosceptic "left"-wing nationalist BSW over 10 %. A result like that was to be expected. Germany has kept moving to the right for years now, as people struggle with climate change and the polycrisis. "Patria, part 2" tries to capture my emotions toward all of this into a track. It's a dark and broody, somewhat dissonant electronic track that's using a few notes from the German national anthem, but converted to a minor key, as one of its themes. Made on the Deluge in 6 hours or something. I like the result, but the onboard effects on the Deluge feel really limited by now. Let's see what I'll do about that. 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 35 - onezero - West Branch

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 22:43:35 GMT

A return to the hollowbody Univox in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning. Three tracks of fingerpicking, no inline effects, a touch of convolution reverb, and the usual multiband compression/eq on the stereo out. Tracked in two late-night sessions, Friday and Saturday. Going in, I didn't think I had a lot of ideas, but that fingerpicking ostinato appeared, and this ended up being a lot stronger of a piece than I expected. I went with 106 bpm out of the thought of doing another half-time Hit Em piece, but 5/4 didn't suit this pattern, so it's 4/4 at 106. I listened again six hours after submitting this, and...there was one note close to an edit that stood out, so I removed it. The title comes from the West Branch of the Escanaba River, over which there's a historic bridge carrying county route 557. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I decided to work with Paulstretch 3 to create a set of pads that I took into Reason. After setting up the pad sounds, I added a couple of sample loops I had and built up the arrangement. I finished the arrangement with some MIDI bass. I then added effects to the Mixer sends, added automation and EQd the tracks. After setting up the mastering chain, I exported the piece. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 35 - snoopy over the hills - Aeon

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 22:25:56 GMT

his week felt like an eternity — work was relentless, and with my wife sick at home, the responsibilities were piling up. Juggling it all left me with no time for my guitar project, which was incredibly frustrating. But tonight, as the week finally winds down, I managed to carve out a moment for music. Despite everything, I’m proud of this beat. The drums hit hard, the chord progression is smooth, and the synths put you in space. After a week like this, creating something I love feels like a victory. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 35 - PieBaron - Transmutation Field

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 22:11:32 GMT

I tried to involve myself a bit more in this one instead of having almost entirely full automation as I usually do, I set up all the buttons and encoders of my Dumbpad to gate different signal flows, it was all a bit rushed and rough, but I kind of got into the flow and was pretty happy with this second recording. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - boorch - W35: Slowsync

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 21:56:37 GMT

This week I had very little time to work on music so a couple of hours before the deadline, I browsed through the "VAULT" folder on my M8, which contains raw and unfinished track ideas that are "worth keeping". Amongst them, I found this one called Slowsync. No idea why I called it that way, but I remembered I did an interesting trick there: the kick is actually FM synth, and 3rd operator is responsible with adding "noise", but 0 by default. So I can have kick and snare on a single track by changing HO values of operators. Also there's plenty of CHA commands which adds some randomisation to drums (regarding whether they play or not) and that's something very out of my comfort zone (when I do randomisation or generative stuff, I usually avoid using percussive elements), but weeklybeats was all about stepping out of my comfort zone so I call that a win! This track idea was saved way before 4.0 update, so having an EQ at hand let me shape this sound even more, which was very fun. Anyways, I think I'll use this tune in my game as well, it's pretty lowkey and since it's a blackjack roguelike game which is essentially turn based, I thin it may fit the bill. Enjoy! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 35 - neon liminal - the message (starry night cowboy)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 21:45:33 GMT

This was a monster. Full notes and lyrics below, but a big thank you to jwh for exchanging guitar riffs this week (borrowed a cup of sugar!), it was a really fun little story to build into a full track. And before the notes - I've finally pulled the trigger, set up a Bandcamp, and my song from a few weeks past, "summer forever", is now available there: summer forever - neon liminal. Onto the song! While shooting the shit this past week Josh and I joked about a cabin-in-the-woods fantasy, where we'd play guitar riffs off the backs of our respective porches across an expanse of forest and lake to send a message, 'can I borrow a cup of sugar?'. But you know, in space. Cuz it's always in space. Josh spontaneously - kindly - sent me a riff, and I sent him one back, and thus this song was born. I've been playing with a sound I want - an album probably called Starry Night Cowboy, with an "ambient post-rock industrial feel with an unmistakable country/folk twang" - and it seemed an apt exercise for this project. Me on guitar, Josh on guitar are the featured call-an-response, some asteroid-field-radio vocals from me, and the Lyra8 doing its best to sound like a post-rock bowed guitar. Some drums and a little low-synth pad fill out the rest. Thursday night this sounded like a fucking disaster. By Saturday afternoon it'd become a complete monster of a track and I sorta love it. (it's sunday afternoon now and Ableton is once again wasting my time as I try to master this...) That being said - this isn't the song in its totality as I imagined it. There's some parts I wanna add for the "album" version, so I guess this might be a pre-release "radio edit" (ha). It's a little silly to be planning/recording the next album when the first one isn't done but ... Weekly Beats seems to be teaching me multitasking and planning ahead. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Hey there, cowboy It's been a long time You still out there singing to the sky? I've been wandering here, lookin' for a sign A twinkling from your star C'mon cowboy, Let's leave this lonely road We've been gone so long, the sun is gettin' old And I'm feelin like I'll never make it home to hear your song again. Hello cowboy, I'm still ridin' these starry trails Hey there, cowboy Hope you're doin' well. Thanks for listening everyone. This has been a roller coaster year and Weekly Beats is definitely been an exciting part of that ride. Honestly never imagined being able to make something that sounds like this, and I wouldn't have without the wonderful folks I've met here. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - Tomatron.Jones - A Long-Winded Way of Saying Something Simple (Ambient #4)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 21:39:36 GMT

It has been 4 weeks since my last submission. I was on a vacation in Europe and couldn't find the time to create music, and upon returning I had fallen out of the habit. So this is the first foray back into it. Originally it began as a synth line inspired by Skelar's Tel Aviv, a fairly simple synth line but with good FX. This ended up becoming a pretty simple ambient thing, just layers of slowly auto mated synths and some messed up samples thrown on top, somewhat reminiscent of Abul Mogard, yet again. * Bass from Ableton bass instruments * Synths from Ableton and Helm * A few samples from Splice * Ample use of Valhalla, Transit plugins (and more) * Gullfoss and Ozone for mastering Total Time: 2.5 hours 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - miraclemiles - back in the day (public blues)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 21:29:47 GMT

I went to a couple Thursday night blues jams in a little dive bar attached to a Chinese restaurant. Fun to get up and play some drums (on a decent house kit) with various people. Do some shufflin, some rocking, hold down those 12 bars. Blues and bluesy rock are not something I listen to often, but a good genre as a jumping off point for open jams in bars. We get some blues dancers moving around on the tiny dance floor, a good little friendly scene I'll probably return to for a little live playing fix. So that little tidbit relates to this week's song in a way. This week's song samples the public domain song St. Louis Blues by TED LEWIS and HIS BAND. I started playing with this for the Disquiet Junto project last week, which I didn't finish. The prompt was to: "Break a public domain song into parts and reorganize them." After hearing so much blues lately I had been thinking about doing something like that. After some false starts trying to execute on my first plans, I finally decided I needed to get up a boogie, so I followed the muse and this is what came out. Took a break from making this to do some chores and words popped in my head so said them into the phone. Played with Ableton 12.1's new Auto Shift auto tune device to edit that voice recording, I'm liking it. I wonder what the Thursday night blues dancer's would think about this track? 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 20:44:19 GMT

I'm giving myself an easy out for a few weeks with this naming convention. I've been messing around in an altered guitar tuning all week and coming up with ideas but I have no idea which ones I want to pursue for full songs. This was a nice little diddy I came up with but I didn't really see it being more than what it was, so it's like a micro-song where I just loop it and call it a day. I added some bass and drums to try to add some other dimension to it but eh. Unfortunately it's another migraine day. Shit's like clockwork. I'm fine all week and the moment I try to chill and get some R&R, boom, weekend ruined. Fortunately it's an extended weekend because of the holiday so I hope I'm better tomorrow. Oh, speaking of which, I'm going to see Coraline in theaters tomorrow :). I love that movie and so does my wife, so it's cool to be able to see it on the big screen.

Week 35 - Jai Cafarella - Father's Day?

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 20:09:13 GMT

Content warning and apologies to the dads that didn't get to be dad for father's day. This month marks five years since I've seen my children because of their mother. I've been in business mode so long through the legal battle so far, I've become so numb to any sense of fatherhood. I kinda needed to let a little of the emotion out. This idea snippet (the opening chord riff) has been floating around since 2015 so I added a couple of layers to make it a little more interesting, intending to leave it at that. Then I started humming over it, oops... And yeah, unintentional theme, but I guess it was to be expected considering the vibe of the day. We are one and the same My place in your heart has faded I'm incomplete without you We are long separated And nothing can replace you When I watch the sky I hope that you are too The day we see eye-to-eye I'm looking forward to I'll be ready and waiting when you wanna meet again We can get reacquainted and I'm holding on til then We've missed out on so much for this one life I hope that we can reclaim it and I'm holding on til then We are one and the same (I'm holding on til then) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Weeks ago I said I'd do more stuff with SMS+FM so here it is. Only used OPLL presets in drum mode, and made a few simple PSG patches. It's all of my usual tricks; start off slow, gradually add in too many elements. Some nice shrill repetitive melodies that are along a semi-pentatonic scale.

Week 35 - mukti - HAKISTO

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 20:05:18 GMT

I started this week by chopping up a distorted slurry synth that had a kind of guitar sound, then added some repeating keys over top. I kept adding sounds until I had to pull out my second m8 to get more channels to work with. I kinda hid some sounds and added a bit of a pumping baseline, then topped it off by adding in samples from the movie Hackers. In the end, I may have overdone it a bit and made the track too busy... I tried to clean it up when mixing it, but its still a all over the place. The title is my best estimation of the Esperanto word for "Hacker." Some websites reference "kodumulo" as the correct term, but that translates to "code mule" or "code person" which doesn't entirely fit either. I think that based on the etymology of the English word, this is... good enough! If you know the correct term, let me know! The picture this week is a clip from the movie Hackers, when Dade gets a laptop from The Plague. I ran it through a script I found on GitHub ASCIIPlayer, and edited it a bit. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

This week I decided to do some techno styled stuff... I used my old Roland R8 drum unit, because of its 90's vibe for the percussion. Otherwise it is basically the same gear as usual, but I used a bit more sequences to make it more lively. I also used my Roland D50 for those melodic parts that come after the beats in a minut or so. Also one of my favourite patches is that cloudy chord stuff that comes on like waves of the sea; it is Ensoniq TS-10. So actually there is quite a bit of new gear (for my WB tracks) in use here :). I have a soft spot for that early 90's ambient techno stuff... I was of the right age then and I always liked the crisscrossing sequences combined to strong beats. Underworld was probably my fave of those bands and still is. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

several torn bags spotted, left in the hall of tallest buildings upper floor, only visible from the outside rays of greenish light. glowing circuitry is spilling from the black nylon pockets. they're coercing the visitor to grant its desire for connection. how long have the machines been singing? made mostly live on hydrasynth and mercury7 with some programming. thank you for listening! 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 35 - mzunguko - CRUST

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 18:26:27 GMT

Stuck with the same suite of tools, Access Virus, Modular Processing Skiff, Digitakt 2. I really like this combo (though I am switching in some different modules for next week). I used Fairfield Circuitry Shallow Waters on the vocals through the stereo Noise Engineering filter and then resampled in the Digitakt for some additional chopping and FX. I spent a fair bit of sound design on this track between the modular and Digitakt resampling that I was in a bit of a rush to get an arrangement done and something resembling a finished track, but a track did emerge. I actually tried to do some yard work this weekend that probably wasn't the best idea but tired of sitting around as my mini setup I moved out of my studio is squashing out my comfy chair lol. I do hope you enjoy. In Lak'ech _mzunguko 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 35 - BarristerPlong - Rusting Hulks

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 18:13:45 GMT

Another ambient guitar track this week. This is my Mood into Echorec into Astral Destiny then a touch of Supermassive once she gets into Ableton. This week has just been constant work between doing roadie work early mornings and late nights and working at the studio in the early evenings. I was fortunate enough to have a couple hours off yesterday and able to make this track. Unfortunately I'm still in for another week of this without a day off. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 35 - PeterM - GROOVIN

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 18:07:46 GMT

I played with some amp distortion this week to give this one a rough feeling. I also leaned on my organ sound pallet again this week which always tends to lead me to a particular style. Lots of hydrasynth this week again. Pleased with how this one turned out. Uploading in a rush as I've got something on tonight so gotta run! Congrats on another week down!

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 17:36:49 GMT

I wasn't very inspired this week, so this is what happened. It's all over the place, BUT I kinda like the squirky sounding Old Depeche Mode patch I came up with and the guitar part isn't bad. Both of them would be better off in different tracks, though, so maybe I can plagiarise them from myself later. The guitar patch was created by ddmm64 on the M8 Discord and I love it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 35 - Tone Matrix - False Dawn

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 17:16:45 GMT

"Oh hello there. I saved ya a spot right here. Don't worry, the rain finally stopped. Help yourself to some **insert_warm_beverage**. Or mayhaps a hammock to collapse upon?" The migraine thankfully left. Unfortunately it was promptly replaced by an annoying head cold this week. I put off working on anything pretty much til Saturday night because my sinuses were not happy with me being upright. I finally caved and took some cold meds that ended up blasting me off into the cosmos. Physically oh it got rid of the pressure in my head but woah did I go on an adventure late saturday night. Also I may have added an extra french press worth of cawfee to my day at some point. Shh what afib... **finger_to_mouf** With my energized ears I heard a cricket outside my window. I swore it was in sync with my ceiling fan. So I pointed my phone at da window to record the lil noise maker and instead got a whole lot more than I anticipated. At some point a plane, motorcycle, helicopter, cat, dishwasher door and parents in the distance made it onto the recording. I really wanted the cricket and outside ambience so I did my best to disguise the other sounds. But I also secretly liked the spikes they added to the background. I tried to sleep at a decent time and instead woke up about an hour later to the sound of rain. When that turned into a mini monsoon of a thunderstorm I decided to get up and record that as well. That got me a few thunderclaps to roll and reverse in and out of the track. Kinda interesting how thunder backwards with some filtage sounds like wind. **shrugz** Also some rain drip dropping and finally a bird or two when the sun appeared to say heroh... Also I've been watching Sagan's Cosmos all week. As I was snoodling I was sorta pretending to be outside laying on the grass staring up at the stars. Pretend is def the keyword as there's so much light pollution out here you really can't see much. Although I did see the space station mosey on by a few times. I sort of changed the channel with the chord progression early on. 80s space graphics will do that to ya. So between the cold meds and the show my head has been iiiiiin da clouds :p Thanks for listening, I am going to promptly pass out now. <3 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 16:50:35 GMT

I'm tired of poorly informed strong opinions. :) Lyrics- CHORUS: Why won’t everyone shut the fuck up Running their mouths and making shit up Before you even listen your mind’s made up Just use your ears and shut the fuck up Verse 1: Seems these days eveybody’s gotta say How they judge a situation in a day, right away But see I don’t give a shit what you say about it You don’t have a degree, in fact you don’t even read I can see your style post hoc rational You know the end before you even begin If I want to know the answer to a question that is burnin I’ll ask all the nerds who spent their whole life learning CHORUS: Why won’t everyone shut the fuck up Running their mouths and making shit up Before you even listen your mind’s made up Just use your ears and shut the fuck up Verse 2: How you gonna say you understand the economy The other day I saw you buy tickets to the lottery Now I’m pretty dumb but I’m pretty sure you got A better chance of gettin struck by lightning indoors Bombs are dropping on the other side the globe And my sister pretends that she all the sudden knows The thousands of years of history and such Bitch, you failed out of college so, shut the fuck up CHORUS: Why won’t everyone shut the fuck up Running their mouths and making shit up Before you even listen your mind’s made up Just use your ears and shut the fuck up Verse 3: Street preacher knows where I’ll go when I die And it ain’t with the bearded man in the sky Says he read it in a book that was written by God I don’t think he knows that it sounds quite odd For an infinite being to set us up to fail Then become one of us and convince us to nail Him up on a cross, a sacrifice to himself While still most of us will be burning in hell, what? 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - Paisleyfrog - Stop Saying You're Sorry

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:52:01 GMT

Gothic metal ballad finally happened! Enough time, enough energy, wife is healthy. And there was much rejoicing. :) This is another one that has been in the archive for a while. My wife wrote this for a dear friend anbout eight years ago and got the idea to do it as a gothic metal ballad when I was working on Vicious Circle. (These were actually the first words we tried putting to that one, but it just didn't fit.) This has had a melody for a while as well, but not necessarily for gothic metal. It was also in a major key. We largely used what we had before for the verse, but the chorus is new. Guitars are tuned in open D5 because why not. Strings are a mix of EWQLSO and Hollywood Strings Opus (still getting used to that orchestral suite). Made heavy use of the broken chord session player for the piano, and filled it out with a session pad. Having the chords baked into the project made it handy when I wanted to redo the bass with the jazz bass, as all the chords were listed for me right there. Needed the road map, I don't use C minor very often. I've had the framework in place for a couple of weeks now. I wanted to finish orchestrating this one after vocals were in place, and I'm glad I did - the mix fought me like hell. I’m really happy with how this turned out, but getting it to translate between speakers was NOT working, and making everything work with the dynamic range in this song was…a struggle :) All worth it. We’re both pretty happy that this song finally became reality. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics She moves through the world trying Not to impose With shy moves and ducked glances To hide the fear There’s too many people who Push her around But I won’t just stand here and Let that go Each and every day My heart aches to say Chorus Stop saying you’re sorry And hiding your eyes Your very existence Should not be denied I want you to know that You matter to me So no more excuses And No…. apologies She’s always the first one to Put herself down It’s easier if it Comes from herself I rail at the life that has Caused her denial Of all that she has and is Ready to give Everywhere you go I want you to know Stop saying you’re sorry And hiding your eyes Your very existence Should not be denied I want you to know that You matter to me So no more excuses And No…. apologies It matters not at all Who you love or where you fall I don’t care about those lies Just what’s behind those eyes Forget those that will judge Just know that you are loved Solo I know I alone cannot Save her from pain That life makes those demons that Hunt us down But we all need someone who'll Say it again You’re loved and you’re worthy and I want you to know Stop saying you’re sorry And hiding your eyes Your very existence Should not be denied I want you to know that You matter to me So no more excuses And No…. Please stop saying you're sorry And hiding your eyes Your very existence Is a gift in my life I want you to know that You matter to me So no more excuses And no….apologies 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 35 - that_ranjit - Bridges

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:36:45 GMT

Didn't have much time this week to work on music. The semester started back up and I'm spread thin. Teaching at two schools as well as a community center and also do some work for a non-profit. This past week was the first full week of everything all at once and I'm admittedly already pretty exhausted. I'm trying to find the time in between things to make music, mostly just in my car. This one feels pretty simple, I didn't get to expand on it as much as I would have liked, but it's still a vibe to me. Gotta keep the streak alive.

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:35:55 GMT

helloooo week 35! Came across a cool drum loop and recently acquired the disposable planets M8 instrument pack. Both of those elements gave me some new direction and inspiration this week. As far as process goes, I've been trying to lean into just creating as many ideas as possible at first. Not letting myself get bogged down on arrangement too early. Some of the parts I created didn't really work in this context but I liked them and thought they were worth salvaging. So I salvaged them and I'm 90% done with next weeks song because of it! Enjoy my week 35 creation and looking forward to hearing yours! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

What happens when you put an all digital Roland System-8 through an ancient Alesis Midiverb II? Magic is what happens! The Midiverb II is a wonderful reverb. Dark and noisy but oh so dreamy. Definitely taking some inspiration noise ambient drone pioneer Suzanne Ciani. As well as the modern master of the genre, Alessandro Cortini.

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 14:47:40 GMT

going back to basics. i'm back from the US -- it's always so busy visiting family there, i couldn't upload anything the last couple of weeks. but here we go again. "unnamed" is partly due to a sample i wanted to include, but then didn't. this may make more sense later :-) i'm going for space here. space between the notes and not fill it up with too much delay or reverb, but splinters of silence (oooh great band name from the 90s). peace. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Revisited the project I started earlier in the year - public domain retro rpg assets - and decided that I probably wasn’t going to do much more with them. So this week I’ve decided to package the ones I did and upload to itch as is and move on. So technically not something I’ve created this week, but it is something I’ve finished this week… Uploaded is one of the tracks. Created on m8 using wavsynth as an attempt at NES style rpg music.

So, this is barely a beat, very much phoned it in creatively this week. HOWEVER this track is still kind of exciting to me in that all the synth sounds here were made with a new 8 voice hardware digital polysynth I've been building/programming on a teensy microcontroller over the last fortnight, and I was enjoying just playing with some arps after making a nice little supersaw patch :) It's starting to really come together, excited to be back and making things. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

I mean, most importantly, I'm seeing Iron Maiden on Friday night. They don't come out this way very often but as they are hands down my most favorite band of all time, it will be a very exciting week. I'll probably end up writing a 12 minute epic about a British fighter pilots in ancient Egypt or something for next weeks submission... This week, far less grandiose. There is something here I think, an outline of an idea. A mix of Granulator and Wavetable, lots of effects but I am learning that the wet doesn't need to 100% all the time, most are less than 20. I definitely want to use more guitar, that is for certain. Also, fuck this wind. It's been like a week of constant gales, I need sleep damn it.

Went to the county office to register for marriage. Simpler and faster then expected. Met with friends. Bo Ko puzzles spice world. Felt underwhelmed. Short bike ride to the park with partner. Ran into T&D riding their new bikes in the park. Engrossed in Ubik book. Guilt around old choices affecting career options. Met with band memebers for DO to sort out hardware. Played new Arp 2600. Confused interface. Uploaded old remix work to youtube after reflecting back. Finally watched new Alien movie. Really enjoyed it. Some nit pick acting and dialog complaints. SF Zine Fest. Compliments on my shirt. Picked up some $1 zines and a print. Walked through old workplace area. Completely dead. Reflected. Ordered osha sign. Helped AL's parents move things. Made 180+ high quality one shot samples of my 80's drum machines. Good sample refresh. Finished chopping multisample modular E-drum kit. Most likely not going to be used. Talked about work.

I had a few ideas of punk/stoner riffs for this simple track. I wish I had a singer but I broke mine so will have to do without for this week.

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 08:32:24 GMT

this track was recorded in April 2023, in the livingroom with cello, harmoniumorgan and the guitar, very analog, using a microphone. Paula was around and started to complain, getting no attention. On saturday I wanted to add the clarinet, flute and drums, but made a big mistake, because I forgot to arm the main microphones and only recorded the reverbchannel of the AKG BX20. It was a too much effort to record it again, so I worked with the material I had so far. The drums did not work, so I just used a single loop. The track is long, but I had fun letting everything develop and enjoyed the lucky moments. The clarinet here is a different one. I am using a french model now, that was given to me by the nice guy, who teached and supported me in the last weeks with my plan to learn windinstruments. The mix was done 100% with the new dynaudio monitorspeakers I have chosen, after giving the tannoys back. I am very satisfied, because they are neutral and precise and after hours of listening, the ears are still fresh and do not get tired at all. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Had some more time to work on this than usual, due to being on a short Italian vacation. Will probably have some drone footage to use in future tracks, but didn't want to slave away on this too much this week to make it for this track. Especially as it's not so chill, but leans on the sub Bassnectar style. It's so low it's virtually inaudible on the m8 speaker :) Needs some bass hits tho' Hopefully I can get back to it an polish it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Bought a new synth so I created a song with it on the same day I got it. :) I bought an Erica Synths Syntrx 2 and it's great! This is an extended jam which has three takes. One for each layer and all improvised with no edits. Also before I read the manual so I was just having fun with it. Hope you enjoy it too. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Sun, 01 Sep 2024 02:33:56 GMT

Took the approach of just using Ableton stock synths and effects for this one. Even went to far as to not use any presets to force me to learn the synth layouts. Turned out to be a pretty OK track given exactly zero ideas when I sat down to write it. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Second experiment with the Mikro Prism. I tried to do something house-y (like a Kris Menace or Fred Falke track), a tad minimalist, in 5/8. Also I have a new pair of headphones and I hope my mixes/masters will improve, as the previous pair was literally falling apart. The title comes from the "painting" that appears in our apartment during a short period of time in the morning. The golden hours' light passes through the window, printing on the wall a golden frame holding the shadow of a branch outside. So pretty. 2024 CC0 Creative Commons Zero (Public Domain)

Sequenced on the Dirtywave M8, using MakeNoise 0-Coast for the arps and intro, patched so I can use the slope speed to control the arp speed, and go at audio rates for fun sounds. Used the Digitakt as an overpowered midi controller to tweak some M8 parameters live. Been trying to get better at writing melodies, not sure if it's working but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Week 35 - Cursory - Again Every Day, Every Night

Fri, 30 Aug 2024 17:31:33 GMT

Happy Week 35! Who doesn’t love a I iv ii VI progression? In my weird effects era apparently, running vocals through some pedal sims in Logic - Leslie speaker, fuzz pedal, octave pedal, and “tie dye delay.” Actually I ran pretty much all of the guitars through the Leslie and most electrics through the delay as well. Turns out I have no idea how mixing works when everything has wonky effects. Everything gets a bit muddy as parts layer, but then, that usually happens to me anyway >.> I kept feeling like I was missing a part or two and got in a bit of a “more is more” mindset. Eventually, my computer began to revolt against the amount of tracks/effects which I took as a sign to save this song from myself and stop. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics For every star you try to hold There’s more that you’ll let go Fear in your heart till you decide And decide again every breath, every stride It’s bound to happen Crooked and misshapen Your cosmos are breaking In morning glow, those colors erode If only you could catch it, hold it close Canopy of sky visions passing by You retry again every day, every night This time you’ll map it The pattern you’re wrapped in Make sense of that magic Carelessly laugh when You make that connection See all you’ve protected When you say there’s still another way All that’s changed and all the good you gave When you feel a thousand miles away All that space is just a trail blazed You can’t see it through the atmosphere But it seems as though it’s crystal clear And you say there’s still another way And you say you’ve found another way Lean into hope, try to let go Admire the sunset, red, orange, and yellow Night skies may fly past, spellbound and rapt The beauty of time passed › Words Blurb‹ Words Blurb Vague space rambles make another guest appearance this week... it often happens for me that melody/syllables appear without a clear subject matter and I’m left trying to make it all feel intentional :lol: Space is cool so it’s as good an avenue as any to try and say stuff. This wound up being a bit about the idea of opportunity cost (economics wooo) and finding contentment/gratitude with choices. Also thinking about the choices we don’t make just once, but reaffirm regularly through actions. That there are paths we kind of end up on as well as paths we get to choose to be on. Ending on the note of finding the beauty and the positive changes allowed by the passage of time. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 18:42:25 GMT

This is a song that was written by my friend Bobby Bergland. I'm not sure exactly when he wrote it, but I first heard him play it more than twenty years ago, and I always really liked it. I hadn't heard it in a long time, but I got it stuck in my head recently, so I wrote him and asked if he had any recordings of it I could listen to. It turned out he had recorded a version under the name Eddy Highway with our fellow WBer cfurrow. After listening to it, I got a crazy idea and asked him if he would mind if I took a crack at covering it. He replied "I wish you would," so here's my humble attempt at it. I would definitely recommend checking out the original version. You can find it here: https://eddyhighway.bandcamp.com/track/ … ensonhurst 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Week 34 - laguna - Segmentos

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:58:43 GMT

This one was initially planned for last week as a (quite dull) ambient jam. The synth phrase was sequenced back in 2023 evening using Reaper and a Yamaha RM1x, and then dumped as audio into Renoise, so I could make playful chops. I experimented with feedback within the tracker, but the results, contrary to Ableton, could be scary as they don't automatically reset after you abort rendering. Long story short, I missed my upload slot and never got a new one, so I decided to make stems out of such boring ambient jam and try to give it some life with an old Reason beat, made probably circa 2004-2005. All the finishing and chopping was made in Ableton 10. A little bit messy and a little bit noisy, but it is the kind of hiphop I would love to hear on an imaginary dj set where turntablist scratch over more stuff than 60s funk and soul (And I DO REALLY REALLY love funk and soul, don't get me wrong). Hope you enjoy this one, despite the chaotic mix. Have a great one, WB family! 2024 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Week 34 - thgirwnhoj - 34 Weekly Beats 2024 Incredible

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:56:26 GMT

This track is entitled "Incredible" for the fact that I got it done! This week involved some work travel and my birthday along with all of the festivities, so I had very little time to dedicate to music production. This week marks the first time I used samples from BandLab Sounds. I have posted more than a few times about using Splice samples in my tracks, but I do not have a current subscription, just a library full of samples that I haven't used yet. It's just that now I am at the point where I am looking for new sounds and not ready to re-start a subscription. I found the BandLab Sounds library to function similarly to Splice and so far I am pleased with the selection and workflow. I imported what I found into Ableton Note while I was on the road and created all of the patterns you hear. When I got home, I had time for some minimal mixing and arranging. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:55:36 GMT

Here's another "last minute" upload. This is a song I composed over 20 years ago, but never really recorded it. Guess I just committed it to muscle memory in my hands. Anyway, I decided to dig it out of my cob webs and put some new life into it. It's kinda a pop type song, but not really. It's in the key of Fmaj, but has an intro in Fmin. Then I added a bridge in Gmin with some funky chords thrown in. I'll probably mess with this some more, but this is what I got for now. I guess the name is fitting, since I'm giving it a "second chance" at life. Thanks for listening. - RCN P.S. - I really need to start working on these projects before 2:00 pm on Sunday.

Week 34 - Nik Novo - The Juice (feat. Bonafide Suspects)

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:47:34 GMT

This week's track has quite the interesting story behind it, but first the tl;dr: Here's a 155 BPM fast Hi Nrg Trance Track - I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I had making it :D Long version: Earlier this week I was watching a YouTube video called "9 Weirdest Songs of the 90s That You Can't Help But Love" and (naturally) it had Aqua - Barbie Girl in it. Talking about Barbie Girl the YouTuber however also mentioned a song called "My Mamma Said" by Aqua (which is actually a quite decent song). Wanting to add it to a playlist, I just searched for "My Mamma" on Spotify and the results also showed me a song called "My Mama Dropped LSD in the 90's" by some guy named Marlon Hoffstadt. Not expecting much, I took a listen, and oh boy, does this track own. It's a 148 BPM Trance Banger and I found myself listening to it on repeat. So I decided to look up Marlon Hoffstadt and found that apparently he's been going through the roof in the past few years - so much so, that he got a 2hr slot this year at Tomorrowland, an Essential Mix this year and did multiple Boiler Room sets in the past months (two of which you can also find online). And he is playing exactly like "My Mama Dropped LSD in the 90's" sounds - highly energetic trance music at 150 BPM. This reminded me so much of my early clubbing days, when Paul van Dyk was spinning highly energetic trance at up to 145 BPM, and had me dancing in my chair and kitchen for days :D I can't stop listening to this guy. The story is not finished yet :D I decided to do a ~150 Hi Nrg Trance track for this week and searched for accapellas I can use for that. I found one called "Stay Fly" on a page that claimed that all samples provided are royalty free. I started building the track and (way too late) in the process made the call to look up the accapella and found out it's by Three 6 Mafia - so it's highly unlikely it's royalty free, meaning I had to swap the vocals last minute. Luckily I found this quite dope accapella by Bonafide Suspects (it looks like this one should be royalty free), so here we go :D In case you're interested in the Three 6 Mafia version, I put it up on Soundcloud One last thing: This track is inspired by Marlon Hoffstadt's remix of "Klubbheads - Kickin' Hard" Quite a long text for such a short track, but I still hope you had fun listening to it :) 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:42:43 GMT

Smile bright to hide the pain, I’m gonna be tough for you, Always give and never gain, Am I good enough for you? Laugh so loud to mask my fears, Though my time is overdue, I’ll push it down and hide my tears, Am I good enough for you? Love until I lose myself, You don’t have to follow through, I’ll put my heart upon the shelf, Until I’m good enough for you. Make a song you’ll wanna play, If I can rise above the gloom. Shine my light, still fade to gray, Is it good enough for you? It's me, I matter too, No chains, yeah, now I'm free, I'll do what I wanna do, I am good enough for me. It's me, I matter too, No chains, yeah, now I'm free, I'll do what I wanna do, I am good enough for me. --- Notes: This is the track I was trying to complete back when I did "Intro". That ended up becoming a bit of an extended intro to this song. Took me a while to figure out the vocal chain for this one, but I think it's good enough. ;) --- Clinton Judy - Producer, Lyricist Madison Judy - Vocals 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Was initially inspired by rplktr's track: https://weeklybeats.com/rplktr/music/fishing-with-birds-and-fire Thanks so much for letting me sample it! Chopped and edited some bits I grabbed from it and was able to get a really cool place, and let it evolve from there. Also been sitting on some of Viridian Loom's (https://weeklybeats.com/viridianloom) guitar licks he sent over to me a while ago, and finally decided to have a go with them. The SP404 mk2 has been so awesome for editing samples, really glad to have it in my arsenal. Simple dance track, but I had a lot of fun with it. It's a bit on the lengthy side, but I was just loving the groove so much. Composed everything on the M8. Cheers! Thanks to rpkltr and Viridian Loom for letting me have some fun with their sounds. :) 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Week 34 - Napear - Lost in the Dark

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:34:46 GMT

Oooookk... Sooo about this weeks track... (ಥ﹏ಥ)... I had been working on a track basically using only hardware (Deluge, Virus TI2, Microcosm, and TASCAM Model 12)... which I've been chipping away at for the past two weeks. Yeah, I accidentally saved over the only project file... It was a pretty tragic moment. I hit a wierd little glitch, and restarted the Deluge... and I wasn't paying close attention (because I was basically done sequencing and was just doing a last little thing before recording), and I pressed the save button, instead of the load button, and saved a copy of the default project over the track. And that happened... oh like 2-3 hours before the submission deadline... After which I lost like 20 minutes to just dealing with the like "WHYYY!!!!!!!!!!! ˚‧º·(˃̣̣̥∩˂̣̣̥)‧º·˚ " of it all... then another 30 or so trying to see if I could quickly recover the files. I could not... though efforts continue on the file recovery front... but they required more time than I had left... and I'm not gonna miss my streak just because of a hasty mistake. SO, given the time constraints... I did what I could. This is another ambient piece, built up on a lot of granular processing. And heavily featuring NI Straylight, Arhkis, and Lores. There is also some VERY heavily processed piano. I didn't really have a theme or an idea going into this... just like panicked slapping things together... and the mix is like... rough... but hey, it's done and submitted... so I'll take the win. Now, I'm off to see if I can actually recover that project file, or if I just have to chalk this one up to a "learning experience" and get started on a new track. Wish me luck.

Week 34 - MRDRCAT - Let's Judge Children!

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:16:59 GMT

Back to my cheesy upbeat formula! I don't know why I like doing these. The "guitar" part was a theme I wanted to develop for Week 27. Then every week since then with no luck. I wouldn't say it clicked this week, but I forced myself to add a few more parts and try playing off it a little. Once I swapped out almost every synth patch it came together. Then I added vocal samples from a public domain film called "For Health and Happiness" - it's about childhood nutrition, but the voiceover makes it sound like a livestock auction. I swear I only edited for timing. Metro Grade Beats told me to do more with the snare, so if it's really hammy I'm going to blame (and thank) them. 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

Week 34 - Barney Rubble - Master In My Dreams

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 23:08:52 GMT

So this is a collaboration. I'm not a poet and am quite aware of that. ;) A gentleman from school heard that I played some guitar and gave me this 'poem' and said "Here. Write a song for this.". As I read it, it was more like I was singing it because this melody just seemed to 'fit'. I had a couple of questions for him, but I never saw him again. Thus, this is my take on his poem. I don't even know his name, but at the time it was quite relevant. It's becoming quite relevant again. Damn! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 34 - PeterM - AMBIENT AIR

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 22:48:59 GMT

I've been doing some work in a space that has a floor fan running more or less non-stop this week and I've found myself humming melodies to the "note" that the fan is "playing". So I decided to just have a single drone bass note on this week's song too. I was going to just have an ambient track with no percussion, but I caved and added some ... I like the feel of ambient with drums, so yeah, there it is. Anyway, I'm pleased with how this one turned out. I would tweak it some more if I had some more time, but I'm happy with it as is though. Sorry, listening to this after uploading I'm hearing a few pops that must have been amplified by the render. No time to fix them! M8 percussion, lots of Hyrdasynth sampling for the synth parts this week. Congrats on another week finished! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I was trying a writing concept I learned last week. it goes: -come up with a chord that sounds good for each measure on it’s own -tweak or edit or delete the chords so they work together -write melody phrasing just with rhythms not worrying about actual notes yet (i used a rimshot sample) -look at the chords and edit the midi notes so they fit -adjust as needed let me know what you think! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Week 34 - onezero - Weaver

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 22:29:03 GMT

This week's track comes on the end of a week's vacation, so this one had a late Friday tracking session, a Saturday evening session with quick arrangement, and...a couple hours of editing on Sunday. My thought was to pursue a very-tenuously-held-together piece, something on the edge of falling apart, or falling into silence. So there are a lot of gaps and pauses, with phrases of varying length. To shake myself up a bit, this is in 5/4 (like the piece a couple weeks ago), though slower and cleaner (unlike that piece). Little almost-a-groove sections emerge, and evaporate. The process of playing it was often feeling the next note, chord, or interval about to arrive at the 5th beat, and then waiting a beat before playing it. Sometimes I'd pay attention to the click, and sometimes go with a more intuitive approach. After uploading, I realized there were two things I wanted to fix, so I reproduced one two-note sequence a few seconds later, and removed one interval that didn't work so well in context. This current version is the corrected one. Three tracks of PureSalem Mendiola, no inline effects, some convolution reverb, and compression/eq on the mix. The title comes from Hartford's River Weaver, which runs under the A556. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

THis is more free associations with some minor field recordings added in the percs dept.

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 22:01:42 GMT

Gaspard is my 7 years old, he wanted to do some music with me this PM. I did open tune one of my guitars some D chord, put a drum backing track on his headphone and did play along with him on the acoustic drums. He didn't last too long but it was fun anyway, I did then add a cool preset midi clip of synth bass. Then added another pass of electric guitar with the same guitar open tuned. No edits at all and listening to the track now, if I'd like to be cohesive, I should do quite a bit, but it is what it is! added tons of crunch-distortion everywhere and VOILÀ!!! Hope you can enjoy this messy draft. It was recorded, mixed, finished this week!!! I was on vacation for 2 weeks, back on work tomorrow... :( This is life. I have (mostly) a good one, so it is all right. Take care all! 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 21:38:08 GMT

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! I threw this together pretty quickly just so I can say I’m still participating haha. Just came up with a drum part and a bassline and just tried to get more than a minute's worth of mileage out of it. Not feeling super great today. Not quite in migraine territory but kind of the precursor where I feel a tightness in the muscles above my temples, clenched jaw, a dull ache behind my eyes, a muscle in my neck that feels like the source of the pain but no amount of massaging will help it, etc. etc. So I’m just looking to kick back and chill today with a heating pad and some nice music. Maybe do some gaming and watch a movie. This is pretty nerdy but I keep track of everything I play and watch. I just like being able to look back and recall what it was I was doing at certain times of the year because sometimes I might see something like “Oh, I was playing Persona 5 in July of 2023” and it recall other memories around that period of time. The same is true for some music, like anytime I listen to Linkin Park’s Meteora I’m immediately thrown back to being 13 years old and playing Warcraft 3 on my mom’s laptop next to the living room window while wearing headphones. So yeah, this month I’ve beaten Grim Fandango, Baba is You, Subnautica: Below Zero, Dredge: The Iron Rig, Superliminal, and Diablo 4. I’ve been enjoying Diablo 4 quite a bit actually. It’s pretty casual and it’s nice to just turn down the game and turn up a spotify playlist and check out new tunes. Honestly my preferred/favorite way of listening to music. On the movie front: Crash (cronenberg, 1996), Dredd, Dune: Part Two, Blue Beetle, The Lair, Alien: Romulus, and I Saw the TV Glow. That last movie in particular has kind of stuck with me. I didn’t love it, nor was I particularly entertained by it when I was watching it, but the more it kind of brews in the back of my mind the more I really appreciate it for what it is. Anyways, hope everyone has a nice week. 2024 Copyright All rights reserved

Back at it with another Digitakt2, Virus Ti2 combo. This week I added a small 104Hp Processing modular skiff centered around Instruo Arbhar granular processor, Lubadh a Tape emulation looper, Noise Engineering stereo filter, and the original Chase Bliss Mood pedal. Had a bunch of fun creating textures, sounds, and all the vocal processing was done through this little processing skiff then resampled into the Digitakt. I am getting back to regular activities, just haven't had a chance to get back to responding to all your comments. I am so glad you stopped by and I do truly appreciate all the support. The headache I have had since the trip to the ER has finally abated and I am so thankful for that. Still working out the workflow/mixing kinks but sticking with the format for a bit.

Week 34 - Paisleyfrog - Vicki Says

Sun, 25 Aug 2024 20:35:48 GMT

Gothic metal still wasn't in the cards due to both time and energy levels, so that one's getting pushed back one more week. Last week was a LOT of fun though, and had me wanting to do more feel-good rock. It also had me thinking more about speak-singers, which sort of seems to fit with my voice. Based on the title, you might think that this is another Lou Reed song (along the lines of Lisa Says, Stephanie Says, Candi Says, etc). You would be mistaken: this is a Cars-influenced song! This song was a ton of fun to put together - there's a lot of Cars tropes in here. The chorus is maybe a little close to Bye Bye Love, but hell, bye the time they got to Move Like This, Ric was copying himself, too. Oddly enough, lyrics came about very early in the process - early enough that I actually named the project with the title. This doesn’t happen very often. First line was “Vicki says she’s lonely”, and the whole thing built from there. Sound stuff: More work with keyboard session players. Using the block chord player and then putting a monosynth on that track gives a very human sounding arp effect. Other effects are just me a bunch of times (four layers on the bg vocals, handclaps are five layers). › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Telephone is ringing She’s saying I’m the one Vicki says she’s lonely Come on and have some fun But I don’t know about that Uh huh Vicki says she’s lonely Tonight Neon lights are glowing Passion in the air But my doubts are growing Feel I should beware But I don’t know about that Uh huh Vicki says she’s lonely Tonight Telephone is ringing She’s saying I’m the one Vicki says she’s lonely Feel like I should run But I don’t know about that Uh huh Vicki says she’s lonely Tonight 2024 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)
