Like this a lot (and especially considering I have given myself the challenge to make a technical death metal album ;)

I guess how you use it would be two birds with one stone: showcasing both the M8 and how you make music!

This one does things with time in far more ways than just signatures. The fusio-style melody, and later the slow-moving theme. The early DeJohnette-style snare flams that later make way for trap-style hihats...this is fun, even though I don't know what "Deltarune" is.

Have you ever done something on the M8 (review, in depth demo, guide) in any format? I'm really trying to find out if that one might be "for me"

Twostep groove (but not really), hardbop chord voicings (but not really) and an early Japan-exclusive VGM vibe. I like it!

This is called "Metal"? What I'm perceiving is a gentle wind moving through the leaves in beautiful patterns. Who even cares about time signatures here? Nice!

Death and Bass (prototype), by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Death and Bass". I thought this up not having read the challenge (but after it had been started, so it's ok?), while thinking about a technical death metal album. D 'n' B production approach. Death metal sounds. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/death-...

Is there one? (One), by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Is there one? (One)". Is there a "one". Answer: at least not without the limits of this track. Or there's a lot of them - you choose! moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/is-the...

Where is it? (One), by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Where is it? (One)" is what happens if you just play piano. Or, more accurately, I do it. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/where-...

Metermaß, by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #3TimeSignatures "Metermaß" is a tumbao inspired by Bavarian folk music. There's also a guitar with changing delay, and a fake EDM drumbeat that changes its mind midway. moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/meterma

#3TimeSignatures? Smooth sailing I'd say (because) you also defined that as a lower limit, thanks! So, I give you (wait for it):

For many of you, this might just be part of another day in the office, but I'm currently excited and happy as a small child. #maxialbum

For those that wonder what I'm doing here, reallly...I mostly joined because @musicweeklies.bsky.social is here. So I haven't done anything except for responding to their challenges so far. This might change. Or not.

Properly punishing is always the right thing to do. Like Versailles. Worked splendidly.

There are a lot of things that were, let's say, "problematic" here. PE wasn't one of them. Kafka and Brecht wrote about all of them, though...

Nicht. Zu. Viel., by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

...and: done! Here's my contribution for @musicweeklies.bsky.social #minimal aptly titled "Nicht. Zu. Viel." moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/nicht-...

Just completed my @musicweeklies.bsky.social #minimal contribution - there's stil time until Monday (Feb 2nd) though!

Hehe, with that new challenge, I could do what I did last week over again ;)

I'd say "abstract IDM with prog rock instrumentation", but - what's the difference? ;)

Gratuitous Complexity, by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

So what's my #obsession @musicweeklies.bsky.social asks? "Gratuitous Complexity" I'd say. Like having polymetric/polyrhythmic/polytonal stuff, analogue processors and whatnot for no good (artistic) reason. Enjoy!

Schneemaß, by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

A Schneemaß, anyone? My choice for #snowyday moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/schneema @musicweeklies.bsky.social

"Would you tell Picasso to sell his guitars?"

(and I want to keep my supply chain simple. So "have one do the vinyl master and the other the rest" is not a valid choice).

Let's say you'd like to do a double vinyl record with printed innersleeves etc., and you're talking to two suppliers for the physical (master, duplication, printed matter etc.). Which one would you pick - the one that seems more mature in printed stuff - or the one that does DMM?

Now, is it really "one step away from a nightmare scenario"? Is that the case, or is that something the author invented? Curious, really.

Congratulations - that's such a cool job title!

Sparse Room, by Rainer Straschill from the album Wooczyk Meeklies

It's been a long time since I did something for MuWee.
Acoustic piano, a new tubular bell thingie I got, and generally acoustic recordings and hardware/analogue workflow. And a hint at blues even. Happy New Year, everyone! #tunefor25 moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/sparse...
