Chad said you should tune your kicks to the 5th of your key... is this truth.... or lies??? Only WB can decide. I tried that out on this one, and the kick is tuned a little higher than usual. I liked this chord progression so I just kinda went with it and built the whole song around it. I feel like something is missing when the main chorus comes in, but I'm not sure what. Any ideas? (did I ov...

While I was mastering this week's track (a very simplified version of mastering, nothing fancy), I was wondering what title I could give it. Then I started picturing the rays of the sun piercing through the foliage and it really fit what I was hearing. I searched for a way to express this and found the japanese term "Komorebi" - 木漏れ日 - which is exactly that: the sunlight through...

Seems like I am running out of ideas, looking forward for my new synth to arrive :) let's see if I can try some new things. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

This is my first song made on the dirty wave m8, pretty happy with the workflow and how the song came together. Being a noob though, after exporting, I put the SD card in my computer, to fetch the export, and found /renders had 8 files. I assumed I'd messed up and had exported stems by accident.. so deleted those and went to re-render. When opening the song again to render 'properly&#039...

Glad I started before the heat wave hit us. Initially wanted to make a fast paced track with 155bpm, but it somehow doesn't really feel that fast. Like looking at the beach while riding a motorboat. A soft breeze would be nice right now. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

Another silly guitar loop driven by the mute noodle. Recorded the guitar parts, then left on a trip before finishing. Used a combo of clicking in the drum pattern and Logic's drummer feature to add some oomph. Not sure these drums fit the bill but oh well! 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

Bit of a rushed composition this week. I was in the mood for something cheesy and 90s-ish, using some of my soft synths. I'm heading out on a road trip and may not be able to post next week but will try my best to get something up. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial (BY-NC)

What a rip cord life can be. All coiled up one minute, then just pulled in another direction to start running immediately. It's more useful to my survival to be inclusive. I guess that goes for my thoughts, too. 2026 Copyright All rights reserved

I can't believe we're already at the halfway point!  Okay, we just gotta do everything we just did one more time.  :) This week I decided to re-visit a song I originally wrote back in 2007.  It was part of a pseudo-concept album I did back then called "Swelter" that was sort of about deserts and heat.  As we're starting to get some hot temperatures arou...

This song was built during the heatwave that hit France/Europe this week, mostly between 3am and 5am as I would wake up (voluntarily) during the night to open the windows and lower the temperature. Last Sunday I expected to finish another track but it seems my muse had other plans. I have to say I greatly enjoyed the process. There is a comforting stillness at that hour. I felt refreshed. A bit li...

Halfway through the year. Still messing with ambient. No knobs, only MPE. Knobs would be nice. Should I buy some knobs? 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Inspired by the hfjONE soundtrack by cheesyhfj and spellcasting. I kind of wanted to make something that sounded sort of like a video game menu :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

No particular aim this week other than to get something done. Process notes on my blog, as usual. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Cut from a long session of running various FMS loops through a granular Max patch and messing with the parameters. These are meant to be used as ear candy samples or percussive/noise bits in various tracks I'm working on but they kinda sound funny all together as a silly musique concrete kinda thing, so here you go. 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial No Derivative Works (BY-NC-ND)

Took another crack at the same style I did for the last SID2(x2); the Beatmania IIDX Hardstyle or Nu-NRG from Toshiyuki Kakuta aka L.E.D. tracks like "The Earth Light", "Theme of Denjin J" and "The Strong Jaeger". It's a little shorter than the first one, and I admit I cheated a little bit by essentially copy-pasting the last few sequences from the first SID2x2 s...

Hello again, Weekly Beat friends. I had to go way back into the ancient archives for lyrics for this one because I just did not have time to write anything new. I added a quick bass and guitar part and lotsa reverb, et voila! I squeaked in a June submission right under the wire. Whew... Thanks for listening! It means a lot. › lyrics‹ lyricsInstincts tell me to go slow What you're...

More FMS long form jams this week. This is a short excerpt from a 13 minutes long recording where I picked out the best bit. I like the half tempo vibe and restrained percussion being a main feature. Programmed and performed with NanoBoyAdvance emulator and an 8BitDo hand controller. Recorded to stereo in Audacity. Slightly mastered in Ableton. Thanks for listening, peace and love! PS: Go Plastic...

Week 26 Goal at start 6/23: Do something simple because I need to put some time into other music projects this week. Also I want to do a quick beat for extra practice once this one is done and uploaded. End notes 6/25: Thinking about what is being “stated” emotionally through the music seems to be the thing that gives me the most edge. Not sure if the kick placement could be improved but I’ve work...

Felt like closing out June with *my* kind of techno. My dubtechno tracks are usually not that fast paced, but this felt appropriate and could be a nice segue into the massive dub step warbler I have in my head for next week. The "fast" stab is a shaperbox special and lots of extra stuff on it. The arpeggio in the background almost sounds like what I had in my head, so I got that going fo...

Hi everyone :) This week I felt like playing around with longer transitions, so I ended up making a track with way too many of them. Hopefully some of you enjoy the result. :) Have a good one :) Cheers KaZu P.S. I’m super grateful for any constructive feedback and opinions :) 2026 CC Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike (BY-NC-SA)

I'm not interested in polished perfection Give me the irreverent presenter The stuttering orator Give me the sands lost in the desert And parade their uncompromising uniqueness in a sea of silicon I'm ready for the half-baked half-wit on display The messianic message of apathy I'll take it all in partially and discard the capacity for empathy as "too involved" Therefore kn...
