Going to be streaming at https://www.twitch.tv/franztormer more often. Here's some excerpts from an hour long stream I did this week improvising an ambient piece.

If I can figure out a good place to upload it, I would like to share this full track somewhere. Not sure how much it aligns with my existing body of work so uploading it as Franz Tormer feels off somehow though.

Ghostly speed trash this time around. I remember sitting and sourcing sound for a bit early in the week and then didn't get to making anything. Spooky ambient something?

Felt guilty about how little I did so I added a bit of piano on the Soundcloud version

Quick thing I made because I had no idea and no time this week. Should hopefully be able to make something bigger next week again :D

Revisited a lot of previous ideas for this one and had a lot of fun.

We're half way there y'all!

Happy half-way to everyone that made it this far, I didn't think I would, but here I am. A little uninspired this week, but through this together Saturday when I still hadn't even started. Grabbed some vocals, my guitar, and my VSTS, with an ableton drum rack.

Here's to the next 26 weeks.

chiptune electro. 1 hr. dusted off a sketch from earlier but mixed on may laptop speakers so it probably sounds terrible.

found some cozy chords on the ukulele and recorded a spontaneous song, letting whatever came flow through me, inspired by this last week's heatwave and spending a lot of time in the garden with the kids.

› Lyrics‹ Lyrics

there's a summer flow

last year it had me feeling low

but this year it's a chance to grow

and know, after the low,

It's time to go

It's time to let go

and grow

just like the flowers in the garden that you pick for me

my dear little one

Or just like the bumblebees you tell me that you are

buzz buzz buzz, my little bee,

I know, that's what you are, at heart

'cause you're creating so much beauty

and nurturing the world and me

by sharing it so freely

it's something for adults to learn

just

share your magic

without being so tragic-ally

critical

the pollinators know, or maybe,

they just want to go, and let the flowers grow

and while they go about doing their thing

with their little bumblebee wings

they are inspiring a little artist

inspiring the barefoot feet in the grass

oh, why didn't I learn

why didn't I take my shoes off

until after midsummer's already gone

I'm too much an adult, I want to keep the feet clean

but what does clean mean, if your feet are not free to feel the grass?

what does clean mean, in this context?

I should take some notes from you

you're the one who's teaching me

and

it's time to learn

just as the midsummer sun, or now later than the midsummer sun burns through the night

well, not here, but up north somewhere, the endless day shines

bright

it shines here in you and

yes, in me

it's not too late

to join the game

to play

with your

barefeet in the grass

let's raise a glass

It's becoming a UK tradition for PMs to resign during Weeklybeats, so it's become a Weekybeats tradition that―when one does―I helpfully chop their resignation speech into a demo tape for their future career.

Of course, repetitive tasks like this can get dull―so I tried an additional challenge this time: make the entire track from the audio of Sir Keir's public self-h̶a̶g̶i̶o̶g̶r̶a̶p̶h̶y̶ eulogy.  No other samples, No on-board synths.

So: absolutely everything in the track―not just the lyrics, beatboxing, crowds, horns, or the on-the-scene-for-some-reason distant soprano choir (what was that about?)―but also every bass, kick, "synth", and sound effect are mangled from the same speech.
