Weeklybeats speed run. Track written today (5/3/26), in under an hour before I need to head off to work. Life was getting in the way and I was about to write off this weeks track but no! I will press on!

Ableton live and a controller using presets and a bunch of effects. Sometimes I can fake being an actual keyboard player.. sometimes.

I was resigned to not having anything again this week until last night. Sat down with my modular and accidentally made a track of what it feels like to live with crippling anxiety.

Warp core, Odessa, TR-6s.

Very little time as I wrote this on vacation, and a short one at that. I wish I had the time to actually write a proper guitar line on top instead of just slightly rearranging it around the piano notes, but well.

We had a couple of awesome days at the north sea coast, much warmer than anticipated and incredibly sunny weather. Still, with everything going on right now, it felt a bit like borrowed time, hence the slightly somber mood of this.

I was feeling as little soundtracky this week. Definitely a do something else while the music goes on and on type a track.

Atticus Ross inspiration partially baked into my music DNA, though that wasn't an inspiration when I started this.

Felt quite inspired with this one :)

Have a good week!

This is my first microtonal (or xen-harmonic?) song.

It exclusively uses 2 microtonal scales, one where the octave is divided into 5 and one with 9 notes, mostly 5.

I have been interested in this idea about harmonic-sounding music outside of the traditional chromatic scale ever since hearing Caftaphata, a song I highly recommend.

Many of the microtonal chords used in that song sound much nicer than what we normally think of microtones.

Earlier this week I saw a short video about how the intervals between Schumann resonances, which are sometimes said to have healing or spiritual properties, are actually dissonant.

I don't have any beliefs about the Schumann resonances, but I thought I could try taking the intervals between the Schumann resonance frequencies and find some harmonies.

The second order of the Schumann resonances is almost 4/5 notes above the fundamental mode in 5-TET tuning.

The third order is almost 4/9 notes above the second order in 9-TET tuning.

The song uses these intervals and many related intervals.

I am happy how this worked out.
