I was wondering what the credits would sound like but I wasn't expecting this.  So very, very good.  There is this thing that some video game composers do where they add guitars and lyrics for the games credit sequence - inFamous, Mass Effect, Bastion/Hades to a degree.  This closing track is akin to those and I really like it.  I'm looking forward to listening to your album as a whole...maybe new years eve after my wife has gone to sleep

what an incredible end credits coda!! and wonderful to hear your brother's guitar in the mix. NEON // PLONG

i'm so excited that your first album is live and look forward to a deep listen from start to finish.

it's been so great to get to know you and your music this year, truly

I see the long-ass beat squad doesn't let go even on W52! Way to end the year on a high note.

Woo, the shift to a proper climax post rock track in the middle is properly epic. The gentle lead against the heavy guitars is truly beautiful. The distorted drums and the rising tension straight from the golden age of post rock. Until it gets tranquil again. A wonderful collab with your brother!

I also want to thank you for your careful reception of my own work. I really appreciated your insight in the comments and that you weren't afraid to give me feedback. No matter how much I asked for it, people were somewhat shy to share any criticism. Your comments made me a better musician. I really appreciate that, Matt! Stay safe

Beautifully dense, eerily captivating. This is so cool as a finishing track - it builds intrigue and keeps the listener wanting more right up until the very end.

Solid work this year, and can't wait to hear what the next years will bring! Happy new year.

Daaaaaamn this is so good! Where do I start.  As I'm listening to this for the first time, I absolutely love how those drums sound midway thru.  I'd say it has a reznor-esque feeling how they bubble and churn.  I could easily imagine Ilan Rubin playing the drums doing that high arm wave slam down on the snare to this groove.  Ooof and the theme around 5:30 felt like you channeled some of my fav 80s scifi ala Starman.  Funny thing is after listening to last week's track and mentioning how I needed to devote a night to listening to the pulsar suite in full and bam i got gifted it shortly after! yay!  I'll be in the dark, eyes closed enjoying that.  Also the way you did these vocals for this inspired me to do vocals for my ambient thing this week.  Of course I have zeroh experience mixing vocals and totally made it too quiet lol but i was very much inspired and wanted something to say.. thankfully i had the jwh lyrics to give me that guide.  Also thank goodness for jwh because he's the one who helped me find your awesome music.  I look forward to listening and taking that journey through the rest of your music.  This was an awesome collab with your brother.  Guitar sounded epic. I hope you have a happy new year and hope to see/hear ya in '26!

Holy moly, this is such an epic tale of a song, amazing!!! I'm SO down for this journey. Amazing way to cap the year off! And it makes me profoundly happy that it involved a sibling collab, that's so magical ❤️

Also, congrats on the album release, that's amazing!!! Super excited to listen to it!!!

Wishing you an amazing 2025, thanks for sharing your awesome talents and kind words with us! Keep rocking, friend!!!

Wow, what an ending...the way my head jerked up when those guitars came in at 3:20, totally unexpected....what a collab to end the year with. Raw and lonely and wistful and emotional...and as the saying goes, not sad for what's over, but a small, sweet smile that it happened at all. So many chills. The way that chord resolved at 5:20 gave me a feeling of the Twin Peaks theme....that feeling of emotional resolution that reaches to the bottom of your soul.

It's been absolutely amazing to follow along on your weekly adventures, an absolute masterclass in electronic music. Cannot WAIT to get your album, and to go back and listen to some of your other tracks in sequence. (You should release a spooky season EP, hint hint).

Here's to a great 2025, and lots more music in the future!

I like those intro vocals, sets the mood and story being told, sounds great. Some anticipation builds then wow that guitar from brother Barrister Plong is huge! Sounds great. Then love the spoken word messagein the end. I remember your earlier songs about the starry night cowboy seems callback to that going on here, and fitting epic sendoff. Very cool. Love the stories you're telling. Great sounds, arrangement and edits as usual.
It was great hearing your music this year, thanks for all the great sounds and epic stories, the awesome collabs you did and the comments you shared!
Looking forward to checking out your album, and I'll check out your Jamuary jams.
All the best in 2025 and happy new year!

Thank you for an amazing year of music emily!

Absolutely inspired by some of those kinds of end-credit music pieces ... they are sorta a genre in themselves lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you enjoy the album! Can't wait to see what you get up to in the following year

Thank you Josh and right back at you, it's been an honour!

Thank you it's been wonderful listening to your music and I'm glad my comments were helpful, as were yours! It was also really great to see other mostly-solo musicians making big leaps in their practice and trying new things - I definitely felt encouraged by your experiments, and I'm still in awe of your vocal work, it was just tremendous. What a great year!

Happy New Year! And thank you!

Thank you high praise for the drums, thank you! I am trying to emulate me some rezone, the pulsar is just ... so good ... If you are ever considering something like a drum machine chat me up and check out the pulsar. It would suit your sound so well and is much less intimidating than it looks. Had so much fun with your music this year, just soooo great and yes - I will see you in 2026 on WB. And everywhere else meanwhile lol

And to you, thank you!!! Happy New Year! Can't wait to hear what you make in the year to come!

WAAAAAH YOU'RE RIGHT! There's a total Laura Palmer's theme moment at the end there! Also one of my fave soundtracks ever. And you flatter me sir - a master class in electronic music is very high praise. I hope you enjoy the album - there will be a spooky season EP, but it'll likely be a new batch of tracks, I loved what I did for spooky season on WB but it was also a learning experience and I think I wanna put what I learned towards Spooky Season 2 lol (ie; one thing I learned, a week is just not enough time for those tracks lol).

It has been absolutely amazing listening to your music and connecting with you this year, I can't wait to hear your new album and music in the new year, I will stay in touch

Thank you! it's been amazing listening to your music as well, thank you so much for that and for connecting with me this year, it's been awesome. Have a great 2025 and I look forward to the music you make!

(Jamuary is going okay but wow maybe I wasn't rested enough lol)

It has been a real joy listening and discovering your music, so much to explore on weeklybeats and so much I have missed as only have so much time to listen each week.  This is a great finish to the series and I really like what your brother added, the wall of guitar and piano certainly is a welcome reznoresque touch.  Excited to check out your album and have a great year, will be back in 2026!

As always, the layering is just so well put together.  You captured that distant, lonely, and expansive feeling sooooo well.  This suite has been such an interesting journey... really nice way to finish out WB. Speaking of which CONGRATS!!! What a hell of an accomplishment.  Also gratz on the album, I'm looking forward to listening to it. 

Thank you so much for sharing you're music, perspectives, and opinions.  You're feedback through out the year has been so valuable.  I feel like I'm better for having connected with you.  I will hit you up on the instra, and you know, I lurk on the Discord, I'm sure we'll be in touch.
