Mastering the art of bubbling
I created a semidecent but really short Sega Master System chiptune on Deflemask, and I'm quite new to the program so I didn't knew where to go from there. I thought I could make it work in a slower context, so my 16 bars lasted more and I wouldn't have to write that many music wink Also I was...

A decade in bleeps
I choose to open this year remastering a piece I created a few months back, using Linux own Hydrogen drum machine as a chromatic sampler. There's something funny (for a little while, at least) about trying to do electronic melodies with an instrument planned for acoustic real-life sounding drums....

Encoded affection
This week I worked on a different project, even on a future video for a track. However, I had to work on different other things, my own Linux Server included, so around Friday I started looking around my old Reason projects. I know, I know smile It's quite monotone and really sparse. I had not...

Weird kid lookin' at cha
Well, I don't know if I must feel proud or embarrased about this one. I think it's kinda fun but pretty weird, and as usual I would have loved to add some more melodies to it, because it was basically born as a ProTracker exercised that was then moved to FastTracker (running on DOSBox within...
-
Tumbao
Well, first of all, this hasn't any "tumbao" feeling at all, I'm afraid, but just 10 minutes before the deadline I couldn't came with a better title. Not honoring the afrocuban rhythmical tradition, I'm afraid, thouht I think the swing is kinda neat. I just came off-duty yesterday, and after...
-
Pearl dust
This week the weather has increased my workload a lot, so less time to make music. Also, I started some sort of "spring cleaning" since I had to change some cabinets... therefore even less time. I was working on some ambient guitar and some other beat oriented stuff, but then the bad weather came...
-
Tiny dub
This week's been pretty busy, going back on duty and rewiring and redistributing my studio on my spare time. I'm discovering the joys of using a looper and slowly learning how to lay ideas on it. I've practiced every day but just a small part of that is recorded. So, after a very musical week,...
-
Bye bye tristeza
Ok, this week I went in a different way: after I completed the whole 3 seasons of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix, I felt like doing something more uptempo and positive than my usual stuff, thought my "upbeat" skills are quite limited. I've been improving my own server and self-hosted…

Diamond sound
This one was cooked in the weekend after a week "without direction". I mean, I wouldn't know which path to follow so this ended up being build with a strange arrangement of layers: One from my previous Linux Qtractor sequencing experiments, twisting some TR606 samples inside an Akai s3000xl...

Thirty three is the new eighteen
Hello Y'all !!! I'm so glad to be back for my fourth WB smile Lots of both new and familiar faces. The Weekly Family has gathered again!!! This week I've prepared a half cooked downtempo track, and I can help to feel that itchy "something is missing here" sensation again. Uploaded and rendered in...

First Light (discovering Automatonism for Pure Data)
My first jam with the wonderful Automatonism modular toolset for PureData. My deepest thanks and appreciation goes to Johan Eriksson for kindly creating this and sharing it to the community. Visit his work at https://www.automatonism.com and start patching! Watch this little patch in action at...
-
Hive boogie
This one started as a last minute jam went bad, but I reworked it and tried to make it funkier and more interesting. Hope you like it!

Prelude to the unexpected
I cooked this one from an almost finished track that never came to life back in WB'12. Tried to apply everything I've learned in terms of production, but I still fill the song is half baked. Anyway, Weeklybeats is just about that, so we have to throw our "still missing something" creatures out to...
-
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...
-
8kbXmasCard
Merry Christmas, y'all! Well, this one's got out quite crappy. I had a great one that happened to infringe one of Weeklybeats base points: I was using a prominent sample of a beautiful song by Cat Stevens, obviously recognizable and maybe suitable for another project in 2015, so... I decided to...
-
Past shadows
Just two weeks to go... Whoa, man!!! Sometimes in life, you better be afraid of what you wish... in case you finally get it ;) Musically, I wanted an Akai MPC 1000 for years, but now, in 2014, after I finally get it... So unintuitive sometimes, so crippled and limited... big moment of "meh" :(...
-
Nyman algorithm
Just three to go, fellas! It's almost unbelievable This one's a little bit different from my usual stuff. I've been messing lately with the Monome emulator for Launchpad and tried some MIDI only, melodic weird sequencer called Polygome. Made a quick jam with it plugged to my trusty Modart…

Hidden feelings (Stubblefiend Singularity mix)
This one took a lot of time, really... It all started with a skeleton from an old ModPlug tracker piece from back in 2001. I bounced and resampled a lot of tracks until I rescued something decent from that. Then, it came Ableton and lots and lots of automation, trying hard give it some kind of...
-
ASCII Love
Today I present you another almost uncooked piece. Very quick mix and mastering, and a lot of details and tricks missed from the programming. I've got to be in a family appointment... 10 minutes ago! (And still rendering) Tools of the trade: Ableton Live 9, Volca Beats, Meeblip for the nasty low...

The science of perplexity
This saturday some people at work were sick and I had to cover for them in the last minute, so my whole music weekend went south, in a way. I had this track which was supossed to be a tribute to our King Of Glitch, Perplex On, but I'm posting a much rushed, muddy and almost unfinished mix which…

Vectorized rain
Here's some chilled ambient for pixelated rainy afternoons. Reason 2.8 with internal effects only. Two samples. Two tracks. Two sends. Only seven more weeks to go. I'm starting to miss you all guys already :) Peace!!!
-
12 Bit State Of Mind
So, although this week's been still challenging personally, I managed to find a second hand Boss SP-505. It's a wonderfully limited and sometimes slow machine that takes minutes to make what you could achieve in Ableton in seconds but... It has something, at least for me. So I pretend to be Pete...
-
Shores of NAND Sea
This week's been pretty hectic for me. I've lost my wallet and some money, and it's been a little ruff at work, so I didn't achieve the kind of peace of mind to do some worthy effort sampling an excellent track by my fellow WB Tone Matrix. Instead, I made this one as trying to get a brief relaxed...
-
Feverish
This week I had another hardware project planned, but due to work schedule I ended unable to have those machines at my disposal, so I migrated to a different idea, using the great and still mostly unknown Ardour Linux DAW... However, last friday I got sick and wasn't able to do much music (or...
-
Polygonal bloodstream
A huge hello to all weeklybeaters out there!!! Glad to see both regulars and new faces around!!! This is my first submissision, including some original CGI artwork (just started with Blender...) The whole melody is quite simple, so I ask all of you real piano players out there not to laugh at my...
-
Ich bin der Rabe
Hallo, Weeklebeats!!! This week is hardware-based: Korg Volca Keys, Meeblip, Casio VL-1, Korg Electribe ER-1 + ES-1 and Korg Minikaosspad and Electro Harmonix Memory Boy for the nasty feedback delay smile Lots of small toys to play, and Ableton Live 9 and iOS Nord Beat for sequencing. I tried to...
-
M is for mellow
This week new hardware arrived: two Volcas (bass and beats) and an amazing string machine emulator, the Waldorf Streichfett. I wasted a lot of time just grooving and jamming without getting any actual work done, so this one is still ruff in the edges and does not even scratch the surface of the...
-
Night over Crystal Lake
I offer you all this little downtempo piece this week directly from my hotel room. Inspired somewhat in one of my old pieces and the latest work of fellow WB sensei Matt Nida. As usual, I'm very slow creating basslines, so there isn't any here... yet. Maybe I'll try to play some real bass and…

Electric flowers
This one should be a soundtrack for one of my CGI animations. Volca Keys, Arturia microBrute and Ableton Live 9. Trying to make a good Berlin School drone atmospehere, I'm actually too sleepy to write a proper introduction smile Hope yoy relax and enjoy
-
Xenon bright blue eyes
This one took a lot of effort. Maybe is not even good, but it's already week 39 and I do have to struggle for ideas! I've listened to that stacatto synth so many times in the last 3 days... I personally don't think I can take it much further right now so... Hope you like it. Tools of the trade:...
-
Disk Wrecka
Wrecking my nerves rearranging my studio and putting all those cables back together... I make this really poor 1 bar idea and tried to give it some movement. As usual, Ableton Live 9, Meeblip and some guitar pedals. No automation, just tweaking knobs. Very tired and rushed to make a proper mix....
-
Pixel mist
This week I rearranged some crucial elements of my micro studio and worked on a hardware based project. I had to travel and most of my stuff wasn't either with me or ready enough for Weeklybeats, so I sat down with Reaktor and messed up a little bit until I got this evolving drone. Feels a little...
-
Kleinemuzik
Dear fellow Weeklybeaters: I'll be leaving for Berlin in less than an hour. It's Friday morning and the only thing I could came up with was this tiny piece of music, intended to be used as soft background music in a friend's audiovisual project. Not my usual blips and beeps. It's five tracks and...
-
Mends
Hi, I finished this one in about hour and a half, after a really crazy week with no time at all to make music, but finally... I'M ON VACATION!!! Tools of the trade: Ableton Live 9, Kasio and Analogue Drums MaxForLive instruments. D16 Phoscyon for the acid. Three tracks, very few patterns... I…

Deep rising
This week I've arrived really tired from work everyday. Did this simple one last saturday night in about three hours, and since I was on duty on sunday also, there weren't any moments left for nothing more than a few EQs and compression adjustments here and there. Extremely simple: Ableton Live…
