Honestly, I'm kind of disappointed in you for not including a recorder solo in this one (jk).

This is incredible. Love the sample work and the insidious vibe.

Double-posting to comment on the incredible guitar/drum work that comes in the "later movements". Paisley for king!

this song is absolutely chock full of amazingness, but I think my absolute favorite bit were the harmonizing guitars near the middle. so so many incredible different pieces, voices and sections. tons of variations and IMPOSSIBLY different vibes, all stitched into one cohesive thing. I am absolutely floored. holy shit.

Not enough words to fully express my thoughts (this one demands a re-listening)... wild progressions and use of field recordings; wild use of atmospheric textures to control the energy; just stellar work on this one - truly!

omg, i love this so much!
the tape of your sis telling the tale is soooo good. i'm a sucker for that kind of thing, especially when there is a connection to the artist's childhood.

and the way it keeps building to that big guitar section and then back to the tipping of the toes...

Doris and Moose!!

Hail yais! \m/ The sound design with the samples is awesome! Drums sound great with all the lil percussive synth elements.  The guitar solo rocks ooof then that drum fill to open it up even more? Yais! Love this!

Ooh man, so much variation in these nine minutes.

That intro is moving over to the actual track.
In the first few minutes, I almost wish I had a car with hydraulics and could do a stroll along the beach while playing this and staring at the people.
The second half I just want to raise my fist and headbang.
Even my non-rock-loving wifey thinks that part sounds really cool.

Thank you! I told my sister what I was planning, and told her it was going to be creepy. Her only request was that it remain somewhat wholesome. And I'm like, yeah! That is in no small part what drove the major key change at the end

Also, there will be more SpeedWhistle: just ordered a new recorder, it's coming this week

So glad you liked that section! It was very much a late addition - I needed something to ease the transition into the first heavy guitar part. I don't have a lot of things that sort of define my sound, but I'm finding that harmonized guitar lines like that are one of them. I love figuring out harmonies like that

Thank you so much! And on several levels. I was in no way sure about posting an almost nine minute song...but yours last week was 13+ and I loved it. Thanks for helping me follow the creativity and going with what this song needed to be

That tape is sort of family legend at this point...there's a LOT of awesome stuff on it. I turned it into a CD years ago and gave it to her for Christmas. Funny part is that her kids listened to it later and were quoting it back to her. When they found out that was their mom they looked at her like she was a rockstar

Daddy has been provided

This is one of the best compliments I have EVER received, thank you...having an artist I admire say "I want to remix ur shit" is pretty goddamn epic.

Thank you! This track was almost like assembly - I knew where it was heading, needed to click the parts into place. Ended up being a bit like IKEA where I didn't read the measurements, it was a bit bigger than expected

Thank you!! I've never done a track this long before, I'm glad the sections and variety worked

What a vibe!

Solid.

Beautiful cover art as well.

Love the guitar solo! Those octaves-or fifth, or something harmonies are great. Then the heavy rock vibe contrast with the more electronic vibe is super cool. If you plan to release that and would like an acoustic drum part for the second part of the song, hit me up, I'd be happy to try. (I feel I could do "decent", and it would give me another week off composing lol)

And yeah those stems separator are getting pretty good...

That's one truly awesome guitar solo. I wish I could take just that and absorb it into my being.

This is is dark and i LOVE It

You came highly recommended and I am not disappointed.

This is like some kind of amazing acid nightmare

Did not see the frankly amazing post rock section coming.

Mind fully blown!

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED   Thank you!

It's funny...my sister wanted to hear the track when I was done. I sent her a link to my almost done version late Saturday night. Later on she was like, "I started listening that night, but I had to stop....too creepy!"

I love how one of my late additions to the song has been jumping out at people. It's like, fifths and minor thirds...very much pulling from the harmony work I was doing last week with the Dowland song, and renaissance music in general. I should map out what I'm doing for those harmonies...I'm not really thinking in terms of intervals, I just play and see if it sounds good

Cannot WAIT to hear what you do. I wanted the drums at the end to be a bit more nuts with more cymbal work, but I am very much Not A Drummer. Like I said to you earlier, I think one of the finest compliments I can get as a musician is, "something you made inspired me, and I'd like to do something with it." Love this community.

Inasmuch as I have any sound, I think harmonized guitars are part of it. I need to do an extended piece with that sort of feel - harmonized guitars, and pull in some of the things I've been doing for the past few weeks.

Oh my, thank you So glad you enjoyed!

The guitar section at the end was a bit of a surprise to me as well - I was planning on adding textures like 80s darkwave/industrial texture, but it just....grew. The high black metal-ish lead is actually an 8-course electric mandolin

Thank you so much!

This is great. A psychedelic fuck show that simply is. Favourited.

Ooooh this has a very spooky haunting intro! I was not expecting where this went! The use of the vocal sample is really well done!

The speaking sample is great too! This all came together so well! This is what weeklybeats is alllll abouuuuut!!! Great stuff!

WAT indeed!! I love how nightmarish this is (and the sudden upbeat switch at 6:37??). Absolutely epic all around. Great use of the two recordings and an amazing arrangement. Pushing 9 minutes and captivating the entire time? Holy cats, what an accomplishment.

See...this is the stuff I miss when I let the random playlist dictate what I listen to each week...

IDK if this is a call back but a spooky recorder solo could’ve gone hard on this 😂

This was my coffee making soundtrack. It was the most haunting coffee I have prepared.

The live drums really hit nicely, and I like how the major and spook goes minor and uplifting over the same sample and gives it a bit of a different meaning

Might’ve been cool with some like really Lofi vintage brass like a tinny trumpet or something to really take the instrumental back in time with the sample to the 20s-50s

Psychedelic Fuck Show is the most amazing descriptive I have ever received, and also one of the best compliments. Thank you

Thanks! Tiny Tim loved early 1900s music, and was always unabashedly himself. I like to think he would have enjoyed the weirdness

Thank you! This is one of the weirdest and most sprawling things I've ever done. So glad you enjoyed - having a time and place to explore and share ideas with each other really does make WB a magical place

Thank you - I had a feeling you would enjoy this one

Thank you! The trumpet is a great idea...I'm thinking I want to revisit this style somehow, and weaving the old and new together with some trumpet would be awesome.

And yeah, the recorder comment is a callback....my week 17 was renaissance metal (with recorder solo), and week 18 was a recorder arrangement of a John Dowland song. But I think 0x_colt is right, a recorder would have fit LOL
