Each week, I have been summarizing my adventures in making music. Lately, I have been composing tracks for the Disquiet Junto, the Naviar Records Haiku Music Challenge and, this year for the first time, Weekly Beats. I also have other projects and collaborations I have shared occasionally. This blog primarily contains slightly annotated posts originally found on Mastodon.
I remember when I first stumbled upon Weekly Beats and I remember reading comments from participants about how hard the last few weeks were. Now I am feeling it! I did a more ambient track last week and now for this week I am returning to the trend I was following of working in odd time and focusing on chopped up vocal samples. This song is in 13/4 and really had to come together fast under a tight schedule. It didn't help that my DAW wouldn't load to bounce the final version, but I finally got it to work. Phew!
