Been having trouble coming up with the songs the last few weeks, but making this one felt like I got into a kind of flow state again, which was nice.

I spent a little under 2 hours making this, which seems like I'm getting faster, but I'm not sure how long the others have taken me haha.

I got a late start this week, Saturday morning before the sun came up - first was the guitar chord progressions, and built it from there. Drums and bass weren't added until this morning (Sunday) - My cats decided 4AM was a good time to start the day, now it's almost 10AM and I'm calling this one done.

Here's "Vagabond"

back again even though i technically never left

This time with a Octatrack Live arrangement and a video!

It's not the smoothest or most engaging track,

I wrote this this morning and felt like it could be a cool WB track

would def need more work and / or better arrangement and more ear candy stuff

this is where M8 really shines, but i am lazy and i got other shit to do

Don't have a whole lot to say about this one. It was another busy week, so I didn't have a lot of time to make something for WB. I was playing a bit with Sunvox on my phone again, picked up a project I started last summer (only a small loop) and decided to build it out into this week's WB submission.

Apologies for not listening to a lot of WB (and not commenting a lot) last week.

Sunvox is really nice; I think I should play with it more.

Another M8 week.

I was on a bike ride yesterday and kids had written "checkpoint" in chalk on the sidewalk and I took it as a sign for a song title.

Catch ya'll in the comments!

Nice and easy one this week because I had to travel, so I called on a smol guitar bit I found in the idea vault from 2015 as the basis for a quick trial demo of a guitar I recently acquired with a Sustainer pickup, which operates similar to an ebow, using alternating magnets to cause the strings to vibrate and sustain more. Not a great explanation, am tired, but I hope to tinker with the guitar in future WB songs once I get a better hang of the pickup quirks.

I am happy to be back home in front of some studio monitors! This tune ended up a bit cheesy but I'm pleased with it, with the exception of the snare. I need to return to this sometime in the future and give it a better snare sound, or some variation.

I started the week trying to doodle out something on the MPC. That ended up falling flat so I fired up Maschine and got something more exciting going. The drum tracks got dropped into Logic. I sprinkled an Analog Lab arp on top, then got the bass line going in a gforce SEM VST. The lead is gforce OB-EZ. I fat fingered that melody out, then tidied up in piano roll. The little pad swell is a sample. The vocal thing late is an apple loop from Logic. The rhodesy chime thing came from a sample. 15 DAW tracks total.
