One thing i dislike about throwing songs together all in a week like this is the lack of opportunity to shelve a song and reset the ears before doing a final mix. I'm sure this will be one I listen back to and find simple things that irritate me, but on the whole it sounds alright.

Been keen for a bit to do more dnb again. Doing this i got a little back into the swing of breaks and have a few ideas i've been nursing, so will probably do more dnb in the coming weeks.

I got a B-Verb rack unit recently which i finally hooked up in the rack. The reverbs on it actually sound great to me, so i put it all over this one.

Robot / Factory music or something. I don't have too much to say for this, I think the breakdown sounds really good. The Drums are all Loops from Damage and the voice recording is me

My first submission!  Made in Bitwig, and newly using SFizz and sampled instruments here from Karoryfer - one of their free basses and a free guitar.  Mixing this was really difficult and still not entirely happy with it, even though it's basically just a guitar, bass, organ, and drums, but it's done.  A little bit harsh, but some pleasing bass lines too, I think.  Hope some enjoy it.

I finessed the MPC thing I abandoned last week into a better place for week 18. It's still very mid. Just gotta keep things moving for week 18.

I bounced the samples from the 8 bar MPC loop to Logic, sequenced, EQ'd, added reverbs + compression there. I also added one little four note lick from Zenology to hopefully add some additional interest. I have trouble manipulating vocals so I fell back on condensing a sampled public domain diatribe into a much smaller clip than originally intended.

Lots of weird new things hidden in this track.

I've been picking up some hardware for a noise performance in about a month, and this features an 'Ovum' which is just a tone generator and a very fun resonator thing called a Wingie2.. I didn't use them much, but they are warbling away in the background.

The rest of the track is my usual mix of things.. I wanted to capture some guitar tones I don't usually go for, and a bit more 'live' that I normally would too.

I also used something called 'compression' on the drums, which is something I forget to do often.. so now you can hear them! Maybe..

I'm in California right now, my gran passed a few months ago, and I'm down here helping pack things up, and I'm absconding with her amazing mid century dresser. It's been an extremely difficult last few days, but I slept in her bed while I was here because it was the only bed available. I was apprehensive to the idea at first, but after a few days, I'm feeling more connected to her. I'm the self appointed family archivist, so I've been gathering all the random boxes of photos, and family photos on the walls. I found a letter her father wrote to her in 1948 about her trip back home to North Dakota for the first time since the war. I found a photo of my 17 year old grandpa the day he was shipping out. They met at a dance while his ship was docked in Seattle for repair after it was hit by a torpedo. I found a picture of her at a different dance, not with my grandpa, spicy, hahaha. Some really amazing family story telling going on.

I started working on this beat earlier in the week before I flew down here from Portland, and spent some time on Friday getting it into a place where I felt it was worth sharing. I think ideally I'd have a more pronounced B part, but for now I'm happy with the results.

This track is a mashup of three loops I made this week. They were very different styles to start with, but a whole bunch of tweaks here and there and they gelled together way better than I thought they would. Was a fun challenge, and created ideas I wouldn't have thought of otherwise.

I only had a few hours to spare this week, so picked a different tempo and looked through some violin samples for quick inspiration. Found this cool lick that tickled my fancy, and wrote everything around that.
