This one started with a grab-bag of samples that took shape over various iterations. I tried different drumkits and modulation sets in Renoise to create a set of core instruments, then in the mixing phase experimented with gates and reverb.

This time felt like opening ableton, since is been a while and to break a little from the m8 and get inspired by something different, I'm in this mood lately with piano and atmosphere, and wanted to give it a shot using vsts and couple of samples. I have some NI stuff which is really nice and lot of orchestral plugins, lot of which are free and sounds awesome!

I'm still not fullfilled in this genre, I want to explore it more and do other tracks around this theme, lets see how next weeks go :)

Thank you so much for passing by and listening!!

Produced mix and master in ableton <3

I had a little bit more time this week and I managed to get 2 HOURS to work on this one!!

I managed to slow down a little bit this week, and had some nice nights at home. I took a bath, and my cat decided to be brave and came and sat on the edge of the bath nestled up against my head for the whole time which was very sweet. Unfortunately, some new knee problems have been a slight setback in my running training, but hopefully they shall pass soon! Work has continued to be fun, with some good work progress being made, as well as some nice memories with colleagues too! It has been an interesting week though, some ups with good times, and then lots of downs feeling frustrated with other things. I felt a bit stuck at times, like I was just going through the motions and not knowing how to get out, I spent a lot of time in my car feeling like traffic. Slowing down, sleeping better, practicing mindfulness all help with this, and it's a timely reminder to keep those good habits for me.

This weekend it all got a bit busy though (in a good way!). I went and saw a musical with my friend on Friday night. It's been a while since I went and saw a musical, and I forgot how fun it is - how glamorous the building is, the costumes, the choreography, and the musical talent. Some insanely good vocal deliveries, even on comedic songs! We caught up with another friend who had been working on the show afterwards and accidentally had quite a late night going to a very cool alleyway bar that I'd been meaning to visit for a while but had never had an excuse to!

Sadly I had to forego my social Saturday long run, but I did join up with everyone for coffee afterwards which was fun! I did a lot of odd errands, got some blank CDs to make mixtapes for friends (it's been a decade since the last one I made, but a friend gifted me one and I remembered how fantastic they are, so let's bring them back!!), and failed to get some beans for a half-filled beanbag that I have been gifted. Side note: transferring beans between beanbags is a horrendous experience. Who thought having tiny polystyrene balls loose in the world was a good idea?? I don't really want to add more to the world but I also have a half-full beanbag and idk what my other options are. Saturday night I spent at a house warming with friends and accidentally ended up going dancing until 2:00 am. I don't think I've done that in a very long time, and it was really wonderful.

I spent most of today paying my past self back for that. I got a lot of chores done, but was quite tired - unsurprisingly! I went and saw a showing of Spirited Away at the local cinema with a friend which was beautiful on the big screen. I felt I was able to fully appreciate all of the detail this time! Each frame of the animation is so rich. I cleaned the house thoroughly. I made a big dinner with leftovers for lunches. Aaaaand then I sat down to do these weeklybeats.

I'm pretty please with how this one turned out. I had a little more time than the past few weeks but it was still a bit of a rush. I'm happy with the vocal mix on this (had enough time to multitrack) and figured out a few vocal technique and EQ tricks along the way. The guitar part was another tongue twister and took faaaar too many takes, and even so there's still a few hiccups. But it is in standard tuning for once! I also added a little droning synth in there for some extra depth too.

Planning to spend an evening this week catching up on the weeklybeats listening I have missed. Very keen to hear all your wonderful work <3

breathe in

breathe out

leave the ashes

on the tiles

see your friends

through the haze

see the stars

in a daze

there's no easy out

only time you borrow

there's no quick relief

you'll feel it tomorrow

but tonight

let it pass

drag it out

make it last

This week's scale is Raga Madhakauns 1 with tonic note B. I'm really pleased with the solo melody around 3:56. This is my first time making a song with earbuds instead of my usual headphones.

I find myself feeling like these present days are days I will long for in the future... I try to soak up as many moments as I can in the day to day.

The mad rush between waking up for school run, getting home to start work on time, leaving work on time to get to school and then dance classes or netball games. I know I will miss it, as much as some times I stop and feel sorry for myself being so busy.

This music is like, future me, wishing to be right back here while all the kids are still kids (they are 6, almost 12 and 13.)

The world is also a mess, and I just don't know how many levels past 40 I will reach. Am I half way? Less than? More than? I've been trying to take care of my body for about 18 months, and am bloody grateful for it. I feel better now than I did in my 30s, even late 20s. But I hope it's not too little too late. I shot hoops over at the school this afternoon with my 3 girls. I hope they remember their old man as someone who gave a shit about himself and them.
