Hard to get the creative juices going sometimes. Sounds like you managed to push through anyways. Feels sound track ready to me smile

swept me away yet again, Wizard.
windows open, raining outside. these beautiful sounds filling the room
heart

PIANER! Lovely as always. Certified great travel music through Swedish landscapes. Feels very hopeful and I hope you had an incredible week.

Piano and pad! THat works! To be honest, I would argue that the 6 different albums of the Ghost albums by NIN are also a bit like that. smile The removal of the pad and then adding piano brings a sense of scale and hope.

I like the multimodal art that you bring each week, with a nice picture.

This rules, the synth, especially the low parts, adds an awesome texture. This track really breathes to me and just feels good smile

This works really well together.
The contrast between ominous, looming synths and the simplicity of a reverbed piano, muah. 🤌

I know how you feel, really struggled with the motivation this week.

Love the laid back feel on this, almost like The Melody at Night with you.

The drone takes it to another place.

I feel you, man : "ohh, the only thing that I want to do is music... and then when you're in the studio ... I kinda feel like playing solitaire a little bit more smile"

It is quite a beautiful piece, as usual. The Vangelis-esque pad works quite well with the harmonies of the piano. Sounds cohesive, not like you just "threw some pad as an last minute filler".

Quite melancolic piece. Nice work

You've got the muscle/brain memory to create works of beauty even during uninspired weeks.  It has a meditative quality, but also a bit of a triumphant and epic feel.  I could see this soundtracking a scene in a movie where something really important and profound is happening.

That subtle bit of noise/distortion is running around the mix like a fly that can't be swatted. I love what it's doing against the smooth piano tones. Thanks for letting that hang in the air at the end.

Beautiful. There's a wonderful delicacy to the mix and arrangement here that creates a breathing, open space that's very peaceful and immersive, really lovely heart

Super smooth. I really enjoy those. Wish you a great week.

Wonderful. Tentative and lovely. The drone underneath anchors everything and gives a great weight to it. So well done for not feeling it at all heart

This is lovely, so peaceful and deliberate.

This has some really nice movement to it with the drifting drone and airy pads, lovely piano as always.

Opens up so wonderfully, like a flower unfurling it's petals to catch the sun

Time got away from me these past few weeks and I didn’t get to listen to WB much at all. Now that I have a bit of time to catch up, this track feels perfect for finally getting to catch my breath. Thanks for the much-needed sound of relief this week TM!

The drone in combination with the upright(?) piano gives new Fallout New Vegas vibes, although your piece sounds a bit more optimistic towards the end. Nicely done.

Gorgeous. I adore the drone synth with the keys. It rides this edge of unsettling with the synth, but the major key piano really colours it beautifully. The way the synths open up around the 1:40ish mark is beautiful.

Sometimes things do have to decay, for a while, for new things to bloom. I think that's just the way it is.

Fantastic combination of sounds. So spacious. SO calming. I can definitely relate to the brain not wanting to cooperate, but that's part of the joy of weeklybeats I suppose. Thank you for sharing this!
