Zweiundfünfzig

Finally, Weeklybeats 2014 comes to an end... And I'll be missing you guys a lot, really. We've never met in person, but your work touched me, quite often much more than any commercial release hyped by the media. Pleople making music for the sake of it, not caring about trends or audiences, just trying to give the best of themselves and learn in the process. This one is almost done, as always. Let's have 2015 for fine tuning and mastering. I thought about making something slightly different to close the year: an ambient piece, almost played live, mixed on the fly. Simple ideas, trying to be hypnotic and spontaneous. My humble take of the Berlin School sound :) Tools of the trade: Ableton Live 9 for sequencing, Meeblip digital synth through Korg Monotron analog resonant filter, Waldorf Streichfett for the strings, late analog bubbles courtesy of the Korg Volca Bass. Delay sends using a Korg miniKaosspad. M4L Convolution Reverb Pro and few takes. Manual tweaking and panning tricks, with some slight DAW touches afterwards. It's been a pleasure to discover your music every week, being both challenged and astonished by the quality and diversity of your music. Some of you will keep in touch and were present from day one, others came by, in and out. Some commented and some just listened from time to time. To everyone in the community, wherever you are, my deepest respect and best wishes for 2015. Looking forward to see you in the next WB !!!
