This one came together quickly, out of playing with a fingering pattern in 3/4 (the first thing you hear), though it doesn't sound to me like waltz time. Suddenly, a western-sounding rhythm guitar figure emerged and kind of took over. There are intuitive pauses throughout, which felt right. In places I also make intuitive choices about section length and structure. it seems to work, and it&#0...

Realized Week 44 will land *after* Halloween, so you get two short Halloween songs in one! "Polterheist" was a special request from my wife to make a swingy Halloween chip song in the style of "Hand of Glory." Forever 1421 was written as part of a sound effects compilation album for a haunted mall. For those unfamiliar, Forever 21 was a trendy clothing store that closed last ye...

This is track using only the m8 and the sample and sound i have on itI've been booked to play a jungle set for Halloween. I only have about 20 minutes of drum and bass on my m8, so I'm quickly trying to make more tracks to fill a hour.   2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Made with the M8. Since I'm not currently using iOS, I decided to dust off the SP404mkII and use that to record the M8 with cassette sim and 303 vinyl sim efx applied. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Unsettling, disturbing, uncanny, and largely un-musical. If it creeps you out, that's a win. Short version of this weirdness: I was going through the exhaustive and annoying process of patching and hooking up the pulsar to my audio interface, as well as the midi, to use it directly in DAW, and started fucking around recording, and then plugin vomit, and then fucking disturbing result. I feel...

Here is another part of a series I started around using Polyend's Palettes samples. I still added a few synthetic sounds to complete the soundscape and make it a bit musical. I don't have much else to say this time since there is nothing new in the way I produced this track. Thanks for listening and have a great week. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Reimagining another 2024 WeeklyBeat: fetch quest Not sure what made me want to remix this. Still like the original better, but I had fun with trying out the new direction at least. Happy Week 43! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Well, this year has kind of gone off the rails with regard to music production. I finally found enough time this week to get back into the studio and knock some of the rust off.

Storm Boelo is blasting through the Netherlands right now (it's only very windy where I live, so there is no imminent threat), so here is a piano-based track inspired by and dedicated to it. For the background noise I took my microphone and walked through our village for a few minutes to catch the noise the storm is making. Since I do have a wind protection on it, the recording not as clear a...

Our area was hit by the first big storm of the season, lots of rain, wind and flying debris. Excellent or the moodz, so I stayed indoors and jammed out another minimal acid track on the Behringers and the Fostex. Tried to make patterns that would follow naturally from last week's track. Haven't tried it all in one go yet, maybe I'll perform this material live at a party next weekend...

Welp, I cut my finger yesterday, so tracking guitars for the song I was working on is temporarily off the table. I took the opportunity to lean into spooky season a bit and whip up a quick horror-esque theme, imagining a classic 'seeking shelter in a creepy, deserted mansion, wandering around the halls while being watched from the shadows' scenario. Storm samples from freesound.org 2026...

Thinking matters - but, ideas are romanticized. If an idea is a good one, it was likely thought of before. It's still good that it occurs again - but, execution is how ideas are reified. On their own, ideas are cheap. Featuring alto flute with reverb. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

I had another really shitty week (work wise) and wasn't really in the mood to make music. I am somewhat happy with the outcome but this is definitely not my best work. 2026 CC Attribution Share Alike (BY-SA)

Wanted to add some lyrics and vocal, alas. Will definitely revisit this one in 2027. New physical guitar effects! Now I can jam without PC and have consistent sound. Seems like bongos x congas is a better preset for this style of guitar than previous one, so I'll probably stick with it for some time. My guitar playing is also starting to feel good, I'm experimenting more, exploring more...

I have spent the weekend packing in anticipation of my upcoming move. I've had a lot of help from my Mum and Dad who are visiting and staying with me for the weekend. This meant that I didn't get any time alone, which meant recording a weeklybeat with an audience!!! I roped my sister into helping me write and record this. I love singing along with her. I think her voice is a wonderful co...

One take performance on the original OP-1 with custom firmware.  This uses the Pew engine (pipe organ) with the Palme fx.  Snowglobe fx was tweaked in realtime whilst recording the track.  Extra tape hiss was added in post to add to the lofi sound of the OP-1. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved
