Weeks 11 and 12 of WeeklyBeats - I guess I forgot to share last week? 'Crossworld Puzzles' and 'The National Apple Congress of 1883' are I guess both different angles on noisy (not in the sense of aggro) downbeat grooves. These last 3 have been the most "beats" beats so far.
If you want to hear what I can do in just a couple of hours each, give them a listen?

The track isn't sure itself in the beginning, but it's worth repeating, and eventually, with work and persistence, it will become true.
Alright, let's do this. I sing. I am nervous about what y'all might think about this. I poured a lot into this. Partially mantra, partially pushing myself beyond my limits. That being said, it came to
Holy moly this Weekly Beat is an absolute pain to finalise. I'm trying to make this sound good on a wide variety of speakers and headphones and I can't can any of those to agree on anything.
I did this to myself, of course, it's a wicked combination of sounds, all in a similar spectrum.
At least I am *somewhat* used to hearing myself sing by now but it's still scaring the heck out of me.
Week 10 of WeeklyBeats, here's a shuffly downtempo groove that reminds me some of Afrobeat and a little of Herbie Hancock's Headhunters.
Free to listen to and/or download.
Plenty of process notes on my blog as usual, if you make music yourself and want to know what I did.
This week's beat was a bit of a weird experience. On one hand I am extremely proud of having made this largely from scratch including the reese and the breakbeats.
On the other hand, this track did not want to get done. Not at all, it was resisting at all fronts - I couldn't get the arrangement right, the mix was super challenging and I am still not super happy with the mixdown.
It is what it is, I guess.
Concluding my Ambient-Adjacent March (with the notable exception of last week's drill thing) with this droney breakbeat meditation. Partially Boards, FSOL, hey, I am what I am because of my electronic music intake in the 90's)
I was planning on doing a bit of music during a short vacation but somehow that didn't pan out as planned. I did sketch out the basic idea on my way home in the train and then it took me another 1 1/2
Week 9 of WeeklyBeats, here's a murky, icy-cold techno track. Lots of process notes on my blog, mostly not #Bitwig specific.
Week 8 of WeeklyBeats, here's a beatless track with ever-increasing distortion. Lots of process notes on my blog, mostly not #Bitwig specific.
Week 7 of WeeklyBeats, here’s a 5/4 dub (?) track. Plenty of process notes on my blog, I try not to be #Bitwig specific.
This week was a slog. What am I doing this for? etc.

Week 6 of WeeklyBeats, here’s an uptempo dance track with growly bass and blippy percussion. Plenty of process notes on my blog.
