WARNING: Unintended distortion! I don't know where it comes from as i have a FabFilter L2 limiter at the output, so it's likely not that harmful, but just in case, you should keep your volume levels down on your playback device or Audio I/O, until you're familiar with the entirety of this track, then if you really enjoy it, you could raise the level after that upon second listening(not that i would expect repeat listening to this track).

I made this track in under 23 minutes, today Sunday June 21st 2026 just before the deadline.

(used older max patches i had and strung them together haphazardly)

not the worst track i've ever made, but also still not all that good, either.

BUT I DO NOT APOLOGIZE -> THIS YEAR SUCKS ASSSSSSSSSS!

I AM THE WEEKLYBEAST!! ...yada yada... you know the drill :/

reprise/remix from another time.  (i _think_ last year, but not sure, may also be new after all.)

in any case, i put the digitone back into my setup, found this piece on it, switched a tiiiny amount of stuff around and performed + recorded it again.  and then i processed it through another thing to make weird sounds.  i don't think that integrates super well, but that's how it is.

Hi Everyone!

I challenged myself this week to sing and play guitar and record the song all in one go.

Here are the lyrics:

Echo and echo and...

by Aamir

I looked into your eyes 'cause I

Couldn't remember my face

When I came back around

I knew I couldn't forget

How long'll it have to be til

I wanna see myself again?

I called out your name

And heard you calling me back

But you know before I left we agreed

That it'd be enough if I didn't forget

How loud'll i have to be

Til i know its not you in my head

I came to the end of the street

And now I'm looking back

Even when I looked on ahead to where I am

I knew it was me when I left

How many circles 'round'll it take

To tangle out myself from my head?

There's a new FMS version 1.30 out today with a ton of fixes and upgrades. The updated sound engine with less noise is the only new feature I get to try in this week's entry. Will have fun with all the new stuff later. The difference in the sound engine is very noticeable, anyway! Much reduced noise in the software, still a good amount in the hardware, lol.

I dug out my freshly made DIY GBA-to-minijack clock cable so that I could sync yellow TD-3 to purple GBA. Works pretty well, yeah! Mainly percussion from FMS, mainly acid from TD-3.

Focused on pentatonics and polymetrics for this one. Performed a messy 5 minute long jam, recorded it to stereo through a Mackie, then edited it down drastically. End result is kinda restless but cute.

Thanks for listening, have a great week!

This is legitmately Speed Trash.  Trying to get ready to sell some crafts at an upcoming festival and this was all I was able to put together this week.  Composed on LSDJ, and not very well mixed unfortunately.

For technical details, see below.

This is a very personal piece. On the evening of last week’s submission I told my friend @BurnedOutSun, while very drunk, that I would like to visit my grandparents grave on the way back.

I haven’t been there for 20 years.

It’s a story any family has honestly has. Time passes and you lose track of it, friends, families, arguing, loving, and just time passing. We went there on the way back, I didn’t quite cry as I was looking for their tomb. In truth, it was scorching hot, close the 30 degrees and high noon. The last time I was there it was pouring rain and I couldn’t remember when it was until I saw their grave. The feeling of them gone sank and I felt my throat tighten. It was alright, it’s emotions.

Next to it was a 16yo girl that died too young. In 1871. Grave unkept with just a metal cross on the ground.

This is a place where families of veterans and soldiers were buried. Many people died in 1870-1871 in a war with Germany most people forgot. Thanks for that.

The next day we travelled through Eastern France, then the Rhine and Germany. All those lands where so many died for useless reasons. We talked about it with my friend. And of other stuff that are in our lives.

Last weekend was the 24h of Le Mans, a celebration with so many nations, around motorsport, that expanded after the 2nd World War and joins people of diverse culture and origins, that can have fun, laugh and cheer together. Isn’t it funny how 160 years after so many things passed, a couple of guys from nations that would kill each other a few generations ago could just have fun bantering and enjoying such a weekend.

# Technical details

I had bigger expectations notably recording the drum parts on my cajon, but the time never materialised.

I also tried to record odd times but as my friend @dreat told me today, it’s just not how thought it was :D

- 3 classical guitar tracks (L, center, right) plus one solo

- 3 voice tracks (lead, bass and some alternative one)

I think it’s okay, the voices could be better, but as always… recorded on iPhone, so never had the opportunity to make it sound better. I am happy with the poly-harmonics and just being able to do something like this.

Anyway. New week, let’s see what I will cook this time.

Every sound in this is from FMS, but it is arranged and mangled on the M8. Had a weird time sorting all the samples out but I really like where this ended up despite having to drag it kicking and screaming into something.

Enjoy

Week 3 of pride month, week three of pride-related songs!

› LYRICS‹ LYRICS

You always said

That things were getting better

I always thought

We'd be free from our atoll

Turns out

That Pride

Comes before the Fall

The Fall

Before the

All I know

Is we're regressing

All I know

Is things have gotten worse

The dead sparrow

Is an omen of what's to come

All I know

Is we had it better

For a moment

In time too short

Feels like a reprint

With the pages torn

For a moment

Things were sorted

The algorithm

Made values distort

Things got better

As time went on

No scarlet letter

No longer pawns

But not long ago

Aggression dawned

Again

For a moment

In time too short

Feels like a reprint

With the pages torn

For a moment

Things were sorted

The algorithm

Made values distort

We thought we had it all

Felt it would last forever

Misinformation spread

And soon thing regressed

Still a good endeavor

But now, my friends

Too many dead

For a moment

In time too short

Feels like a reprint

With the pages torn

For a moment

Things were sorted

The algorithm

Made values distort

I do wish I had more time for another couple takes (specifically I didn't quite refine the vocal melody) but I really enjoyed this one!

Had this idea for a jazzy sample based hip hop beat, with chopping samples on the MPC.  That wasn’t working, doubled the speed on the drums and kept one of the chopped samples and some how it developed into this, kind of a drum and bass tune.  Hope everyone has a great week and sunshine, have been drowning in rain for a few weeks now.
