Oh, right, last week we did music concrete.

I'm gonna organize this shit eventually. Arrow, link to your weeklybeats page, or if you're not using one, your soundcloud or something so I can gather all these tracks up!

Arrow! Nice to see you back.

This week I have a lot of free time so I'm taking the sketches I did from Week 2 and I'm just writing and writing and writing. I'm just gonna keep going until it's time to stop. I've got 8 minutes so far lol

Arrow · February 20, 2014, 10:00:09 PM

I should make a soundcloud. I had just been slapping em up on tumblr, but I'll do that. I'll link it here when it's done.

Irock · February 20, 2014, 10:03:33 PM

What's your tumblr?

haloOfTheSun · February 24, 2014, 04:50:52 AM

I ended up reaching 15 minutes lol. I may take this next week or two off.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TIM GETS BORED AND SPENDS TWO HOURS FUCKING ABOUT ON A KEYBOARD

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME PLEASE.

i'm sorry the ending is nowhere near as beautiful as the beginning

i got even more bored.

also would it be silly of me to make an account on the website this late?

There's some nice bits in there. Sometimes all it takes is being bored and noodling around on a keyboard. Maybe you can develop on it later.

Go ahead and make an account, it makes it easy to keep track of things and then you also don't have to use your own dorpbox space for stuff. Most people there don't end up making a song every week. I've seen profiles of people who joined in the beginning but still have only put out 2 or 3 songs so far.

If I close my eyes I can imagine this playing over a professional RPG opening. Like, a Final Fantasy, the way they made them around X, possibly even VII.

Blagh. I cannot write for the life of me lately. I'm working on something though, so here, a WIP. To prove i still do music...things.

I'm just trying to get the basic structure down and get the notes right. The percussion is whisper quiet except for the snares and the bass is hard to pick up on in places, and that makes this hard. I'm hoping to start off with a mostly faithful playthrough of the original material, then build on it with my own ideas. Y'know, the same shit I've done with megaman since I was 14 and dicking around in tabit.

WIP - Very rough:

That is awwesome, Arrow!

Arrow · March 02, 2014, 06:17:49 PM

Thanks. : )

Moss. · March 14, 2014, 04:01:45 AM

So who's still in this!?

I've been hyper-shitty about keeping you guys updated, but I HAVE been keeping up with the challenge ... even if I haven't been keeping up with uploading said challenge tracks to soundcloud. But I HAVE kept up on the actual weekly beats site.

edit: damn, tried to link to a set, and it totally just linked to some dude I don't know's random track, haha

haloOfTheSun · March 14, 2014, 05:13:27 AM

Ugh I wish. I thought I'd be getting back to this soon, but now I don't know when I'll be starting again. A few weeks ago I did notice you were still uploading tracks even though we weren't posting here lol

pacdiggity · March 28, 2014, 02:41:58 AM

Hello everybody and welcome back to SNES-inspired cheery-as-fuck chiptunes.

Note: irrelevant after the first 10 seconds. the rest is superfluous.

Moss. · April 11, 2014, 10:56:36 PM

Pacman, sorry I suck at keeping up with this thread, but that was awesome. Also, I just caught a pokemon on your post.

All my tracks are on soundcloud (https://soundcloud.com/ryanleber/sets/weekly-beats-2014) ... though there's like a ... bit of a delay. I swear I finished them on time (http://weeklybeats.com/#/ryan+leber) I just don't want to upload them and share them on the due date, because that's Sunday at 8:00 pm, and who the hell is going to listen to it at a time like that? And then I forget completely.

OKAY. From now on, I'm going to catch up. I'll post one on here every couple of days until I'm caught up, and then I'll DEFINITELY post it every Sunday.

Moss. · April 11, 2014, 11:00:31 PM

Here's week 10
