Fun beats, great vocal chops... and then the molasses... XD
Seriously great track
Exhaustification is a fun word, I'll be re-using that one.

you beat me to the video! thanks for listening 
It's funny how the new tempo sounds completely normal after, like, two loops.
48 minutes until deadline?? Wild, and you still made a video...
love that beat but REALLY love it once it goes chopped & screwed – gave me some inspiration and ideas for future weeks 🤔✍️
I was surprised by the slow down. You hit the brake on the tape and we went to a wild place. Loved it
What a meal! While the vocal is lovely, the final is definitely not just the sum of all the great ingredients. Lots of magic behind the counter.
I was waiting for Brendon Urie to come in with a gnarly verse in the beginning. Cool beat!
The massive tempo changes/slowdowns/coming to dead stops were really cool.
Oh man, I struggled this week. The slowed version sounds really good, was that just you bringing down the rate on the source playback?
i know i said it on yt, but that is a great sweater! hope you can get some rest this week, buddy
love the slow doooown, such a fun and interesting transition. gonna use exhaustification a lot in my life
+ RE-SO-NANCE to TASTE! yais! This angle was appreciated and neat harmonies on da vocals. I like how it goes from power step to smokey vhs vibes. Go go octatrack go!
Damn, playing around with the tempo like this sounds o fun!!! Awesome job getting something so elaborate and fun from just those very bare bone ingredients, this is very cool to see, especially in the video where you get to see the performance aspect of it, too. Anyways, again: awesome job!!!
Wow, that beat on 1:16 is great! I love it! and that tempo changes were amazing haha, great job!
Nice beat! And the tempo change and bitcrushed outro were both awesome.
I like the drums, but once it slows down it loses momentum. first I listened on the phone and there you can really feel it. I always rate grooves in terms of how much you can repeat them before they get boring - the more the better. This one I would say needs something extra to keep it interesting after a few repetitions. The voices do give it a little something, but they also get a bit old when overused. Good practice tho! keep it up!
Hi Frank!
Great work for such a time crunch. I love the way slowed-down vocals sound. If you keep this as part of a set, maybe you could develop a vocal part on top, then use a pedal or your orange drink magic to downshift the vocals when the tempo slows down. Anyway, I think you've captured an exhaustified time for many in this moment
Yesssss, love the slow down. Really think you're on to something with the live performance every week thing. You're definitely coming up with ways to make things interesting that I wouldn't have thought of locked inside a DAW.
awesome, was just checking out some tunes realized I wasn't logged and had to comment. Awesome work once again.
Love it. I really like the slow down, almost scratch, at 2:50. I think you should do a song with the octotrack that is all DJ-style scratching. more fake scratching!
Nice beat! I like the usage of that voice sample, with its sight lofi sound. It is a nice contrast to the electronic sound, bringing organic life into it. I enjoyed the slow down section, this was fun.
Yes, a super good groove in a super groovy sweater. Cool to use only a few samples. That vocal one is tasty. I like the cooking show setup, tasty delish
I love what you did with only three samples. My mum would say "Oh, this is just a scratch dinner" usually right after cooking something delicious. Thanks for the feed!
god i know that running out of time for weeklybeats feeling so well. This is a fantastic jam with that little amount of time and high amount of pressure though!!

This is actually my favorite piece of feedback, thank you! I ended up doing this again on “infernal interloper” where the end is slowed down

Feeling it! Very pleasant to listen to at any speed.
Glad it worked for you on the slow down! thanks for listening

it was three elements on three tracks, then all of those bounce recorded onto a 4th track and set to loop regardless of sequence steps. then brought the rate down on that singular 4th track!

Thanks for the notes! I do agree but I have a permission slip from Frank:
Dear Horatiuromantic,
Please excuse Drew from repetitive loops as he was dancing at the time.
Signed,
Frank
ha ha ha, joking but I really do agree with your notes and that’s what I will do if/when these get to album versions. Cheers buddy!

I love your idea for a set and hope to execute on that some day!

Thanks, the Octatrack really makes me think differently and also it’s impossible to do some of my go-to-gimmicks. I don’t think I could do this as easily in Ableton Live without a lot of exporting and automation.

The Octa is really built for scratching because it has a DJ fader on it! I gotta look up OctaScratch videos now
