Picasso SNES music (for @musicweeklies.bsky.social)

Special challenge this week! 🎨 "A tune with a view" >> Compose a song inspired by this Pablo Picasso’s painting *The Three Musicians* It’s up to you how it sounds :)

Nothing more sensual on a Sunday evening than some Gameboy pulse bass 😆 My entry for this weeks @musicweeklies.bsky.social prompt which was #sensual so I tried to get my sexy bass on… #MusicChallenge #Muwee #lsdj #gameboy #sexypulsebass

SNES sensual music made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social

The world is quiet, suspended. Nothing demands attention… I sit down with my gameboy and try to create a still, peaceful track. Started out with that kind of feel, but my brain said no on this occasion 😅 #Stillness (in motion) #chiptune #gameboy #lsdj #MusicChallenge @musicweeklies.bsky.social

The new theme is #Sensual Yep, it's hot today 🌡️

Short entry for the #Stillness #MusicChallenge @musicweeklies.bsky.social #OriginalMusic Challenge I set myself was not to use orchestral instruments. All sounds were by the Pigments Soft synth by #Arturia

The world is quiet, suspended. 16-bit music of stillness for @musicweeklies.bsky.social (theme : Stillness) #MusicChallenge

A little Korg gadget (mobile version) tune for the #wanderlust music prompt from @musicweeklies.bsky.social Not fully fleshed out but the melodic/harmonic ideas are there. PS1 era rpg vibe attempted 😅 #musicchallenge #korggadget #mobilemusiccreation #muwee #ps1 #rpg

The world is quiet, suspended. Nothing demands attention. Beneath the calm, there may be peace, reflection, or quiet tension waiting to surface. Compose the music of silence, space, and the emotions that emerge when everything finally becomes still. This week, #Stillness! #MusicChallenge

Entry for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge #WanderLust . An orchestral retelling of the children's song/finger-play "Going on a Bear Hunt" 🧵👇 #SoundCloud #OriginalMusic #Orchestral soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

Here's "Discovering my Heart" for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social #wanderlust challenge! Decided to write a rondo (more or less) this time, inspired both by the theme and by @tinelinen.bsky.social reminding me to break out of my form box more often m.soundcloud.com/james-youngm...

Adventurous SNES music for @musicweeklies.bsky.social (theme: Wanderlust)

here's my entry for the #FrozenTemple prompt from @musicweeklies.bsky.social Using korg gadget on the go again - great for wip, I'm just not going in and finishing stuff off properly at the minute. Fun to take part and be creative though!

The road stretches endlessly into the unknown. New places, unfamiliar faces, and distant horizons call you forward. Compose the music of movement, curiosity, and the desire to keep exploring! This week, #wanderlust!

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #FrozenTemple

Personally I do a lot of wild impro composing, and don't think much about structure for my general pieces, but for my groovier stuff, I automatically fall into AABA(CA). I wonder if I could challenge that in my self and something more "through composed" (as we say). Symphonic poem style.

It depends on my mood & how much mental energy I have. When using hardware synths I tend to just improvise freely. When working exclusively in the DAW I use a more structured approach where I often go for a verse+chorus structure. When producing techno then it’s more flow based build around grooves.

Time for a @musicweeklies.bsky.social discussion! (Inspired by my kamikaze composing technique while trying on the #FrozenTemple prompt) How do you approach structure of a piece? E.g. AABA schemes, verse-chorus schemes, typical chord progressions, random improv, autopilot...? #musicproduction

made "temple of snow" in Renoise for @musicweeklies.bsky.social's #FrozenTemple! mastered in FL Studio after and while covering nitrofurano's "aa9" on botb I've used lots of simpler interpolation or no interp for more crunch less cpu use #digifu #independentmusic #indieartist #musicsky #newmusic

Frozen game music for a frozen temple level ❄️ (made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge, theme : frozen temple)

I haven't shilled this in a while. I created a feed for the @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenges to make it easy to follow along. bsky.app/profile/did:...

That first level I keep coming back to (made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge, theme : first level)

This week’s muwee challenge was #firstlevel & one of the most iconic for me is raystorm. The OG soundtrack rules, but I went for a more radiant silvergun vibe to start with & then kicked in the 90s dance jams @musicweeklies.bsky.social (ableton via korg gadget)

An ancient structure lies buried in ice and silence. Time feels suspended, as if nothing has moved for centuries. Compose the music of cold stillness, hidden history, and something quietly waiting beneath the frost. This week, #FrozenTemple!

@musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge #FirstLevel. Welcome to JMPR where you guide your froggy friend through a marshy world eating files (and dragonfly powerups) and avoid wading birds. Picture : Boston Public Library via Public Domain Image Archive soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

Remember those games that you started long ago and somehow never finished? And for some reason decided to give them another spin, starting at #FirstLevel ? As part of this week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge, my game was the Korg Gadget for Switch moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/tried-...

This new @musicweeklies.bsky.social looks great #FirstLevel. What's your inspiration? PacMan or Space Invaders? Hack? Or the opening/tutorial of a huge modern game? Or no VGM at all?

just made "level one zone" for @musicweeklies.bsky.social! theme is #FirstLevel made in Furnace for Sega Genesis! only one sample, the snare; all else is fm, pulses, noise channel #16bit #chipmusic #chipsky #chiptune #digifu #digitalfusion #dtm #segagenesis #sgen #trackermusic #ym2612 #vgm

Musicians, get involved! A chance to be involved in music making in a super supportive community. WIP, trying things out, seeing what you can come up with in a week is a joy (I need to post more wips 😅 as I rarely ‘finish’ a track these days!)

A new adventure begins, simple on the surface but full of promise. Compose the music of the first level in a video game; a beginning that invites the player in and sets the journey in motion! This week's theme, #FirstLevel!

Originally written as a response to the #pyramids challenge in @musicweeklies.bsky.social . But I couldn't make the original idea work. Based on the pseudo-science that the Pyramids were built to mimic the stars in Orion's Belt. The background is an 8/7/3 polyrhythm soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

You’re lying there in bed, feeling really cosy… but there’s this... thing in your head, you’re not quite sure what it is, but it’s really annoying and it’s got no business being there right now. Made for @musicweeklies.bsky.social (theme Out of Place)

Something doesn’t quite belong. It stands apart from everything else, drawing quiet attention. The surroundings feel familiar, but one element disrupts the balance. This weeks theme, #OutOfPlace!

How about a hike through the universe ? @musicweeklies.bsky.social #backpack The core of this was started back in 2022. Never could figure out what direction to take it. Apparently, I needed to take a hike. soundcloud.com/tonal_drift/...

"La memoria hidrostática de Lionel" (co-composer/performer: Rolando Tejeda) moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/la-mem...

"Deepsea Ruins" - lastkeymusic (Visuals from: Sonic Heroes) Dive into the edges of the photic zone to uncover a long-lost underwater ruin... (Composed for the weekly Underwater Ruins challenge for @musicweeklies.bsky.social!) #electronicmusic #dungeonsynth #ambient #videogamemusic

@musicweeklies.bsky.social #DeepSeaRuins First time trying to use OpenShot to post a video directly. Lets see how that works.

Cool thing about Korg gadget on switch you can start a new track w/ random parameters for gadgets (synths etc) tempo, scale & a time limit - encouraging creativity. With the rng I was dealt I came up with this for @musicweeklies.bsky.social #deepsearuins prompt (underwater tech city…?) #korg #gadget

Deep among the trees, a hidden camp waits. A fire crackles while plans are whispered. Maybe there are thieves lurking in the hideout, or perhaps rebels? Write something that fits this weeks theme, #ForestHideout!

Ancient stone towers rest beneath silent waves. Fish drift through halls where people once lived. Compose the music fitting of a forgotten city below the sea!

What's in the backpack? It's dawless, obviously! "A dawless Hike". moinlabs.bandcamp.com/track/a-dawl...

With your backpack on, you’re off on an adventure to discover the wonders of the world. Write a song that tells the story of your adventure.

The new theme is Pyramids. Let’s pay musical tribute to these magnificent monuments!
