Hmmm, actually this might be a sequel to Coconuts for the Queen from a few weeks ago.

Our merry band of travelers (drummers, synthesists and the like) delivered the coconuts. We had a party and made some delicious lattes. Someone told a mildly dirty joke and the queen seemed offended, but had a good laugh in the end because that's what happens when partying to a funky break beat and squiggly synth business.

---

Started this on drums, went off on a kind of break thing I had in my head and riffed on that for a long while. Then went off on the Circuit Monostation and Circuit Tracks. Voices from voice memos recorded throughout the week. I think I did make, or wanted to make a coconut milk latte, which I will may go do now as well!

Cheers to you health and musical endeavors, citizens of the Weekly Beat realm!

I didn't start WeeklyBeats at all, then today (monday) just before school I quickly made it in 10 minutes.

This description is as much for listeners that care as it is for me as an archive when I return to this in the future and forget a lot of it.

I started this track as a reverse engineer of this early 90s house tune from 1992, something I found in the early days of YouTube (2008ish?) when it was a truly amazing tool for music discovery, before the usual tech incentives made it awful. "Untitled Track 1" by High Society from Spare Beat Records (SBRR05), 1992 from the days of piano house.

Obviously that very 808-ish tom right off the bat is one of the few things that the OPLL can do well.

I decided to put a lot of things together that I've been building up over the last little while. It's using the SMS+OPLL in percussion mode: 3 square wave, 1 noise, 6 FM channels, 5 FM percussion channels. I didn't use every single one all the time but I did use most channels throughout the track.

I took a lot of time putting together a session; pulling instruments from several different tracks so I had instruments for the percussion channels, variants for the 15 OPLL presets (volume envelopes work even on firm patches), a few SMS patches, creating the right swing groove.

I spent a lot of today just chugging away at a tune. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out but frankly I'm tired of looking at it since I've been working on it for 4-5 hours. I should come back to this one at a later date and really flesh it out.
