This is very very beautiful. The track is wonderfully composed and has a calming effect. Love this one.
This year I discovered that experimenting with a saxophone and a clarinet can be a good extension for my music.
These instruments are completely new for me, but I can produce instantly sounds that I knew from so many records.  Now I think the tracks gain from it and I can start a new chapter.

That piano's quite emotive, it carries the song forward. I like this, there's something hopeful in those best regrets.

I've grown a lot through consistent work on weekly beats this year. I'm still on a 100% streak and I gotta say it feels great. I look back and it's just so obvious how much stuff I learned.

How about you?

ahhh this is so relaxing, now i want a nap!

this year has really been great for me musically. i do really well with a deadline, so it helped me to wrap up some ideas that i had floating out there.
i also learned to work quicker and (hopefully) smarter, and to trush my instincts and ears more.
and i think (hope) that i have made some improvements with mastering.

i've been doing some work on myself this year too - trying to take time each day to find some quiet and calm, and also journaling. and i think that has greatly helped my creative process, and just my relationship with music in general.

looking/ listening back there are some things that i can focus on that make me cringe or that i would do differently now... but overall i'm happy that i have this body of work and this year documented in this way.

i am also curious how you are feeling and what you have learned so far?

Thanks! "but I can produce instantly sounds that I knew from so many records" I am excited just from the very thought of this...maybe I should buy a new instrument! I've noticed this stuff in your tracks and I'm loving it.

That's awesome! I missed my upload deadline one week and never got a response, just trying to live with that lol. It's definitely the way to improve though, even if every week isn't a glorious winner I always learn something or hone my ear or theory just a little more.

I agree with working faster and smarter this year, but I really need to work on myself. It's been such a busy year between work, and spending my days off helping my girlfriend start her own thing (involves lots of photography and hiking) so I feel like I never get a proper day off, or have energy for the gym or journaling or whatever. I'm really happy that I squeezed in WB for the most part every week though. For the most part I've improved my workflow and with the palette of instruments I normally use, I feel confident that I can work quickly to come up with something quite nice most of the time. But I'm bored so stay tuned for next week's track where I flip everything I've done this year on its head!

Thanks for taking part in the discussion here, and as always thanks for listening
