This one started off with some noodling on my guitar along to a delay. I recorded some melody and counter melody ideas and then wrote them out as tab to try tidy them up. I then put the midi back into Reason and made them synth tracks instead.  Was a fun way to work, searching for patches and layering instruments for the already written melody and chords underneath.

Since the song is about fragments from the fragments of melody I stitched together, I thought I'd add fragments of drum breaks and voice recordings to crunch it up and make it extra messy & noisy.

Been having a good week, spent a lot of time in the garden. Realized I just can’t consistently deliver weekly beats without them getting sloppy. Switching to a two-week cycle feels way better — more time to let ideas breathe and actually finish things properly.

Since my last outing with the Stylophone DS2 drone synth I wanted to pair it with my Monotribe for double the analogue goodness, which is what I did this morning. I did 8 takes, and the first one was the best - more subtle, better build, less messing around, so...yeah. It was still lots of fun to explore noise thrills.

The Stylophone is doing the drones, and the Monotribe is the lead line and percussive elements. The filter on the Monotribe is notoriously dirty, so there's an audible click on the envelope when notes are triggered. Usually that's a mild annoyance, but I was delighted with it this time around because it gives a fun, uneven rhythmic pop throughout even when notes are (technically) not playing. Free marching percussion! The Stylophone is working mostly with just one of the oscillators, with the other repurposed for modulation to add some grit. I did try harder to reduce the hiss this time around.

Anyway. I wanted to get something weird and dark and have the Monotribe's glorious grunge part of the action.

Made this as a 'thanks!’ to Trash80 for how much of an impact his M8 has had to me, and so it seems, so many others!

The title, Hanx, borrowed from the Stiff Little Fingers album of the same name isn't the only 'borrowed' part of the track.

I took Trash80's Datafall bundle, cleared all the patterns, & used some of the instruments to start the track.

I love the way the bass has a link to the next track in tables. And the kick & bass sit so well together.

So I made a new tribute track & added trance gates & acid bass.

Thank u Tim!

This one started out with the bass sound and me messing around, then some droney sounds and it started to gain some atmosphere.. fleshed it out from there between Friday and Sunday, early mornings, a little bit at a time.

Seems like soundtrack music.

Wrote the basis of this quick on a break in work, sort of a mad scramble but I liked it. Ended up keeping it short and as a sort of interlude piece in an imaginary album.

Written on the M8 mainly as the chord part, then added small drums so they hopefully didn't overwhelm that part.

Enjoy.

Weeklybeats has been my tiny version of online therapy.

I’ve always felt comfortable letting my feelings come out in these descriptions because of this awesome community.

I was in a bit of a dark place last week.  Everyone’s supportive comments last week meant a lot to me. Thank you for that.

Feeling comfortable enough to express what is effecting me and the music process has been very much appreciated.. 

I do realize I’m not alone in this.  It’s just sometimes the outside light gets blocked and all I see is what’s behind me.

I know I have to break that.

I’m trying to get outside of my mind a bit so that I don’t overthink things.  Focusing on music and the WB community has been a lifeline for the past 12 years.

I am eternally grateful for the kindness and support this community provides.  I will be ok. 

This week was better mentally but physically well the Afib decided to rejoin the band after being on vacation for 68 days.  I can’t complain.  The new meds have helped but apparently my dosage needs to be re-evaluated… Even though I’m on 3 days straight fibbin now I’m hoping things even out eventually.   

Thank you for stopping by and listening <3. Hugs to you all
