Something fun for this week's #weeklyBeats again. https://weeklybeats.com/xjs/music/butter
And maybe next week I'll actually get around to listening to others' submissions again and write a few nice comments…

Butter

This week, a song about butter. B major, of course. › Lyrics‹ Lyrics Can you imagine a life without grease Give your heart a stress release Fry the world in a double pan Like in England, beans, eggs & ham Listen to the words I utter This is a song about butter Listen to the words I utter This is a song about butter Beat the milk until it gives A block of grease that no longer lives But you know it makes everything better So I'm writing her a love letter Listen to the words I utter This is a song about butter Listen to the words I utter This is a song about butter

This week's composition, kind of a grab-bag of time signatures on an alternatively tuned cheap guitar. There's kind of a cubist insistence to this. https://weeklybeats.com/onezero/music/curlew

Curlew

It's been a few weeks since I used the $60 Univox for a track, so here's an arpeggio-heavy one. The first part I recorded (the arpeggiated theme at the beginning) turned out to be in 5/4, so I went with that where I could. As a rock-marinated person from small times, I kept falling into 4/4 and 6/4 in places, but I liked the interplay with the 5/4. Also inevitably, I ended up tracking a couple parts in 11/4. Is there a time signature I didn't use? (Yes, there are time signatures I didn't use here.) Three tracks of Univox Coily hollowbody in Bb F Bb F Bb C tuning, no effect pedals. (I did try using my Montreal Assembly Count to Five here, but there's already so much going on, it didn't work in the ensemble. It would work as a solo guitar thing, though.) There's the usual convolution reverb send and the eq/compression/limiting on the stereo mix. The title comes from the 646-ft. prominence of the Curlew Mountains.

A bit late to get this one out the door, a little something I cooked up while deathly ill. Moby style jam. #weeklybeats https://soundcloud.com/endlessblueband/weekly-beats-18-twice-broken

Weekly Beats #18 - Twice Broken

Feeling sick but powered through it to get this done today. This one ended up a Moby style jam. Nothing too fancy, just fun stuff. Love that Film Octaves on my Juno-G.
