Weekly Beats #52 - Boxes 28.12.2024 6:03

Last one! (Well, until Jamuary...) Went back to the slowcore vibes, which I where I think I'm gonna go primarily next month. Been real in 2024 my dudes.

Weekly Beats #51 - Jade Plant 22.12.2024 5:22

Pretty standard process here, fiddling on the piano, build it from there. Really like the snare turn around at the end of the phrase. Obligatory baritone guitar sweeps in the chorus, yadda yadda yadda. One more beat to go my peoples.

Weekly Beats #50 - 737 to Nowhere 15.12.2024 4:15

Did this one on an alternate laptop while traveling. Gave me a chance to try some significantly different approaches and think outside the box a bit. A bit trappy, a bit industrial, got my 808 on.

Weekly Beats #49 - Nemesis 08.12.2024 4:38

This one turned out pretty dark -- kind of has downtempo darkwave/industrial vibes. Just followed the flow to see where it took me.

Weekly Beats #48 - Decent 30.11.2024 3:57

Holiday week gave me a ton of extra time to work on this one. Stuck with a single sampler instrument for all the synth parts, just stretching its legs and getting to know how to work it. Very happy with the feel of the beat, just quickly locked in.

Weekly Beats #47 - Graveyard Visit 24.11.2024 2:20

I've been working on this passion project of turning a film I like into a silent film and scoring it for, well, way too many years now. Thought I might score a scene for it this week. The scene is about visiting old friends from your past and then visiting with your new friends. Flowing acoustic guitar and strings, with a few thematic elements dropped in.

Weekly Beats #46 - Under The Wire 16.11.2024 3:48

Busy week, had to quick get this one done. Had some inspiration to do a very minimal track, using just a few instruments to get the point across. All about the automation, a lot of which I did live. Pretty pleased with the result.

Weekly Beats #45 - Casa 08.11.2024 4:13

Not much to say beyond the fact that I made this one entirely using the Liven LoFi-12 in a portable studio. That kind of week.

Weekly Beats #44 - A Bit Messy 03.11.2024 4:36

Although the studio is in a sad state of affairs (hence the beat name) I was able to get this one rolling really quickly. Really like all the layers of call and response instruments which just kind of happened organically. The chorus is a two-parter, something I was curious to try out. All adds up to a beat I like, one that will live or die based on the topline vocal melody...

Weekly Beats #43 - Uncharted 27.10.2024 3:22

Roughest week yet, almost didn't happen. But I was able to bang out a simple VCVCC playing with a bunch of synths I've never used before. Ended up a little dirty.

Alpo Toi 30.04.2024 4:44

Strings all the way down...

When I Grow Up 02.03.2023 3:25

A little Garbage for your consideration.
