Blaud - Dillbeat - Bday beat

Megamix time...
I told yall I was gonna make up for 'missing' weeks 1 and 2... and well, sticking to my word is about one of the most sacred things I hold on to.
So here is 3 tracks ... and not even totally cheating, either.
The first track you will hear is one I started and finished this week, as one does. It's a subtle exploration into some of my more favorite techniques I've come to really appreciate on the m8 (wavsynth triangle, big slices of even beats, on-the-fly bouncing and manipulating sections). Also, in the spirit of over-delivery, its actually two versions of the same track... the lo-fi version morphs into the hi-fi version for the end.
Second track is one of the very first kind-of-coherent, not-just-goofing-around, meant-to-share things I did on the m8... and on time, during the first week of January too! So see... I'm hardly cheating here. This one is all played live, I pretty much lived there for the early part of my m8'ing.
Funny now that I think about it, because if the first track is an exploration of techniques I have COME TO love about the m8, this second track is a workout of techniques I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT I would love on the m8... ie heavy sample mangling and a metric shitton of randomness.
I have waaaay cooled off on the random thing now... but when I first got the m8, this was easily the most fun to explore.
And finally, the 3rd track is sort of in the middle of those experiences... just simply having fun and making a quick beat. Also extra appropriate as this is one I did on the fly for our resident homeboy @ilzxc's birthday. No pretense, no flex, no real goal, just having fun with chords, recording, chip sounds, and all the goodness you feel making something specifically for one of your oldest friends (he's not that old, mind you, we just go way back).
Oh yea why is that extra appropriate? Because that is the dude that convinced me to jump into this whole WB stuff.
And THANK YOU for that.
And THANK YALL for listening.
And THANK TIM for the m8.
It was my goal / exercise this year to restrict myself to only submitting wb tracks using the m8 as a way to really force myself to get in there and explore all the nooks and crannies. Loving what I'm still finding there... but its time to turn on some neglected gear now.
Happy 2023 kamrady
