I liked my submission last week, so started in the same way. But this one went in a different direction, needed more layers of stuff. That probably says something, but I like some of the swirl. Still trying to get everything to show up in the mix though.

This began with the thought of fingerpicking an arpeggiated pattern, to try to break out of my recent 4/4 practice, though this one ended up being bang on 4/4, so here we are. I disallowed some of my usual key centers, which does shake things up a bit, but it's not a deviation from the kind of thing you'd expect.

The chord progressions ended up feeling emotionally expressive, and even though I wrote fewer sections than usual, I wrote longer sections and a fair number of variations, some of which just didn't fit with the final flow. This didn't actually need a lot of effort to assemble.

Three channels of PureSalem Mendiola (first version), with neck (right channel), bridge (left channel), and both pickups (center). Bit of send to a convolution reverb, and the usual compression/eq/limiter on the stereo mix. I almost changed strings before starting this, and then figured heck, just leave 'em for a while longer.

The title comes from the wavelength of the spectral line for Hydrogen-alpha, 656.28 nm--probably the most common light in the universe.

Thank you Nuée from last week, you saved my ass by completing an extra song. Impossible to finish anything this week. Every demo or experiment would end up being scrapped or saved with a random title never to be touched again. The ending is a bit weird but

Wow week 30! Perhaps I will make a song in 30:16 next week to celebrate this milestone?

Anyway have a good week everyone, please continue making music it is a delight to listen all your tracks!

I  have a friend named Selma Sucil who is publishing her first novel on August 1st.  It is called Manifesto for the Black Eels and I was was privileged to read it ahead of her publishing date. I believe what fell out of my head this week is music inspired by the exciting and wildly imaginative things that happened in this book.  It was a page turner and I can't stop thinking about it!  My piece, Escapade tries to capture the spirit of this book.  I hope you read it and enjoy it as much as I did.  There are more books coming in this series.

Been meaning to try making Juke/footwork since WB2024. If I’ve figured right this is more on the Juke side.

Made in Deflemask Mobile using the

Sega Genesis/Mega Drive module

How do you do metal guys? Because I have no idea how, this is a very late submission and just pure whinging it.

Spent all week trying to find time at home to record something. Found this riff very late, put some overdubbed guitars and read some verse of Faust by Goethe in an hour approx…

I have no clue what I’m doing but it might be the fattest stuff I’ve done in my life and I think it’s also quite funny :’)

For the last 6x years i’ve participated in the GMTK Game Jam. This year’s theme was “countdown.” I provided the music for the three levels. I also have a credits theme that we didn’t have time to implement that i’ll be finishing and uploading next week. Check it out!

All iPad, all Logic. An unstable program (GeoShred) actually ruined my projects Saturday evening so I had to rebuild all through the night, but I did it.

This is the continuation of my last two tracks. I think I'm done with this concept for now.

This is all in M8. Really happy with how this one turned out.
