Hub of the Highways

By onezero on September 4, 2022 6:55 pm

This week's track I tracked fairly quickly--a return to no-drums, but with guitar and bass. I structured this one intuitively, tracking the parts to a click, against an unplayed reference. (Some friends will recognize this as modified-scaffo methodology.) Not a groove or a pulse, but definitely a vibe piece.


Guitars: PureSalem Mendiola, sometimes through Balls Effects KWB, and sometimes through AudioThing Wires. Bass: 80s Epiphone Embassy II, no EQ-8 rolloff this time.


Sends: Valhalla Supermassive, one large convolution reverb, and Ableton Delay. Inline: Audio Effect Rack on Wide&Warm preset.


This being my 453rd weekly piece, the title comes from PA Route 453, which goes through Tyrone, PA, once known as the Hub of the Highways. I've stopped here a number of times on the way up to Troy for Deep Listening and spatialized audio events, so there's a bit of a personal resonance as well.

wait, WHAT

No wonder your stuff sounds so good; you've definitely put in the practice tongue

also: HOW?

Weekly Beats has been  every other year since 2012, right?  Oh... weekly piece.  tongue  Damn, that's persistence. 
I'd  be curious to know what some of your favorites are by this point (but not if that would distract you from week #454).

Thank you! Yeah, in odd-numbered years I've kept up the pace elsewhere--first at SoundCloud in 2015, and then at https://streak.club (thanks to WBer leafo).

That's a good question! I'm really due to go back over them all.

It's coffee made with a siphon or vacpot/Cory pot. Most days that's what I'll make, though it's also nice to do a pour-over now and again.
