A formal jingle this week.

Left channel:

13 EDO, 130 bpm, sine wave, ascending thirds, six octaves

Right channel:

11 EDO, 110 bpm, sine wave, ascending thirds, six octaves

The idea was to create phasing both in time and in pitch, with the two channels gliding in and out of synch with each other. They end up in the same spot eventually, with the left channel needing 27 notes to reach there and the right channel needing 23 notes.

I'll look more into it at a later stage, possibly with more channels/divisions, possibly with Shepard tones.

Thanks for listening, peace and love!

Hey everyone :)

I’ve been wanting to try making a track with a rolling kick for quite a while now, and since I’ve never really done that before, I thought — why not turn it into a Weekly Beat?

So here’s my entry for this week, hope you like it!

Have a nice day :)

Cheers

KaZu

P.S.

As always, I’m really grateful for any constructive feedback, opinions, and so on :)

I could of spent another week on the vocals to get it perfect but I digress. Another week another beat, I hope whoever listens enjoys.

Phoscyon is an Acid Synth VST and one of my favorite synths to use, This track could be considered a hommage to that synth.

SQF makes a vocal appearance, using the intro of the "Chasing the Beats" podcast from the episode that starred little old me. God, SQF's voice is so rich and manly, if it was fluffy, I would hug that voice.

So, 10-minute track, even though I had no intention of making anything this week because my tinnitus keeps flaring up, but a quiet Saturday evening turned into an all-out four-hour jam sesh.

I spent another three hours today finalizing it, remixing, and remastering the track.

My goal was to make something more mainstream, peak-time-ish, techno-like music, and I'd like to think I accomplished it.

I hope you all are doing fine, keep chasing those beats!

*hugs*

Not my usual slop, artificial slop in this case.

I am aware uploading aislop is against the rules, but in this case I thought it would be a fun reflection of this week since I spent a lot of time working on the system that made this, mostly an exercise to get up to speed on systems that leverage multiple pretrained models and tokens all blending together. In the spirit of the rules of human creativity, I think I met that with this since it was not a 10 second "make a metal song" and swiftly uploading the output. It was much debugging, trial and error, learnings, false starts, AND THEN IT was a "make a metal song" which I swiftly uploaded.

My motivation is not "this that this that" -> produced music -> "oh more of this actually" -> produced music but more of a system of rich intermediate representations that can be converted to human intermediate representations such as transcription, midi, chord progressions, lyrics, genres, style, etc. Something I can grow from as a human musician. But this was a necessary first step to better understand what can be leveraged.

Also one thing that shocked me was I always assumed music gen models were similar to language models in that there's a pretraining phase followed by Q&A RL, distribution loss where there's a subjective "many answers are right" way of steering the model. Which I thought music gen would have many learnings different from my speech enhancement background which is very much "one right answer" space for what the model should do. Much to my surprise, Sota in music gen is basically just the pretraining portion where you do fit it to the "one right answer" methodology and just do things like topn and temp to get different results out of the distribution at inference time. (this assumes autoregressive but diffusion has a similar concept just happens in the conditioning part) (like most things, flow matching one recent example, there's no reason that can't be brought into the music gen domain. Probably Suno has enough thumbs up and down feedback to already be doing it)

Once again I don't feel too bad about "not doing a decent musical wb this week" because I hit some other music progression. Played two live songs and had a great time. We crushed!

For one of the songs played bass live for the first time which was amazing and fun. So fucking funny to listen back to it and sections where "the band sounds pretty shitty", really it's just the bass is off and missed the first note of the chord progression. And sections where "damn this band has a good sound" the bass was locked in. Much different from an instrument like vocals or guitar where if you are dragging the band down, the finger is squarely pointed at you hahaha.

Also pulled off a full bandwidth scream of at least a good 8 seconds, 100% distortion, zero pain, great technique. It was the scream entering into the keyboard solo. Have made a lot of progress in vocals especially distortion. Things are starting to come together in terms of control, consistency, comfort and not losing the coordination under pressure and timing alignment to the band, etc. Tone is also really really improved and that one instance sounded quite good imo and got a number of comments and questions such as "omg that sounded amazing but are you killing your voice?" and "ah I really want to do that, can you teach me?" and made some new vocalist friends to progress on our distortions together.

I'd love to meet some vocal friends here too and collaborate. One of my goals is to collaborate this year, and I also only plan on doing 26 weeks this year (may go more but that's my goal) so the time is half up already.

Now to work on sidechaining in latent token space!

I started with a chord progression, that I then built into a set of pads. After EQing the pads, I sent them to their own mixer bus for the mix. I then added pluck, using a synth and arpeggiator. I then created a simple baseline with Subtractor.

I added a second synth pluck and arpeggiator and then added the element of a Complex-1 patch to create a rumbling atmosphere. I automated the fading of this using a combinator and automation in the sequencer.

I then took the basic sequences into the Blocks sequencer to build out the arrangement.

After finalizing the arrangement, I went ahead and finalized the mix and mastered the track.

Un-related. I'm really enjoying Starfield on PS5.

This time a began with the analog rytm a beat and bass and added some splice samples and played a bit the autofilter of ableton- a device, i really like. And the end it's no more than an intermezzo. Do with it, whatever you want..

Another week, another quickly made musical creation. The baritone uke is getting lots of love these days. Also, reached for the mikey303 theremin preset again, since it just sounds so great almost anywhere!

Edit: the mix needs work lol! 🤪
