Here’s my tenth free track done in as many weeks.

Here’s my ninth free track done in as many weeks.

Kind of amazed I haven’t done a track title where I flip the order of words in an English phrase. I thought there’d be a few pieces and bits out there, some ends and odds. But no? Anyway, here I am writing about the eighth free track I’ve submitted to the WeeklyBeats challenge. The name hopefully fits the idea of being jaded and over everything, but also describes the music’s noisy textures and that it’s actually finished within a week.

This is week 7 of posting a track for free over at WeeklyBeats, trying to do something a bit different from what I release as Jet Jaguar usually.

This is week 6 of posting a track for free over at WeeklyBeats, trying to do something a bit different from what I usually put out in the world as Jet Jaguar.

Only 4 months on, here’s some music I’ve been really enjoying recently.

This week’s track is kind of a grubby dub thing, which is certainly not a massive stretch for me stylistically, but process-wise I tried something I haven’t done in a very long time. I played something live, off a ukulele (an ukulele, if you say it Hawaiian), and manipulated what I did live with no take backs. Of course I had a few practice runs, but still. More details on the page.

For week four of WeeklyBeats I have gone back to upbeat dance music.

For this week’s WeeklyBeats submission I moved away from the relatively upbeat, dancey stuff of the first two weeks and went the opposite way. The track is entirely “off-grid” – I made it without thinking about tempo or time signatures and without any kind of snapping or quantising to a grid. All elements are either played in by hand with no kind of metronome or are field recordings.

For this week’s WeeklyBeats I’ve gone even faster than last week, an up-tempo dance track that I guess you’d call “breaks”, or at least that’s what house tempo breakbeat stuff was called after big beat and before dubstep (when people weren’t calling it electro, yikes). Anyway, scene nonsense aside…
