I decided to continue with Atmospheric Drum and Bass, working on building out a track with a breakbeat.

After finding a good loop, I added some additional drums to create the end fills and an additional ride track.

I then added a pad track to add more atmosphere. I then added a bass (using two bass synths). I added a break with an arpeggiated line and then finished off the track with a piano part.

After mixing and EQing, I mastered and exported the track.

Made it a goal this week to spend some time learning to construct a drum kit for the NES DPCM channel to make better use of the full sound instead of limiting to the typical 4 channels. Got the NES SMB3 drum kit in there and had fun constructing something. I couldn't decide whether to do drum and bass or blues-y funk so ended up doing both!

“We live as we dream - alone. While the dream disappears, the life continues painfully.” -Joseph Conrad

Made using Dronage Terminal by fellow Weekly Beats user boorch. Some extra post processing (EQ, Fors Sala, saturation, limiting) in Davinci Resolve.

› Notes‹ NotesAnother busy week at work, another busy weekend, life, etc. Tried a bunch of things but couldn't find anything interesting on OP-1 or M8. After trying to brute force it for a while, I pivoted to Dronage Terminal. Messed around with it a bit and recorded this one fairly quick. It's real easy to make some excellent drones in that little program. Highly recommend checking it out.

The audio mastering and video edit took way longer because I was trying to do everything at the same time in Davinci Resolve. The audio kept messing up in the render, and I had a bunch of plugins and effects on that made re-exporting super slow. There's still a couple pops in there, but I don't have the time to go in and fix them anymore. They are simply part of it now. Find them all and win a prize!

The title sounds kind of ominous but it actually refers to riding a black mountain bike trail, which I did for the first time today! Black ones are the most difficult, or.. as difficult as they can get in a flat country like the Netherlands. A very rewarding experience nontheless, I really want to go ride it again soon.

Thanks for all the comments so far. Work and life are pretty demanding atm, so I'll be less active at listening and commenting for a couple of weeks. Hope you're all doing well, loving the incredible stuff you make, keep it up! <3

I'm almost sure I've already used this song, though I am really in a hurry, since my company changed my schedule and I had one day less to make music.

I found this Live 8 project between my unfinished 2021 projects. Again, I'm sure I did something with it but... whan I opened it, the mix was a mess, so let's call this (just in case) a proper 2026 "REMASTER".

The original beat is labelled "tapesync" so I guess it is a really convoluted experiment I did with my volca beats. One sync track, 3 tracks on a cassete 4-track recorder, external FX and mixer ... and the result is just a mediocre "analog-esque" x0x-type beat.

Just cleaning out the main arrangement trying to make it sounds less confusing. Drums to resonators and delays ... my usual book of tricks. Not very creative on my part, I know.

From the names of the tracks, it seems that I was exploring the idea of reworking my Ableton arrangement with outboard gear... I don't hear anything that interesting nor I can figure where I was trying to go.

I'm leaving my house for two weeks. I always hate leaving.

Hope you all are doing well. Thanks a lot for the comments and the feedback. I thought I'd had "plenty of time" to engage with the community but I basically spent my days preparing stuff for work.

Looking forward to just think about music

Was out of town so had to scramble to make this one. Guitars, piano, some strings, and a hint of drums. Enjoy.
