sorry, am trying.

@Kedbreak136 @soulfish Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words! It felt good and I was overall happy with it, and ended up continuing to work on it afterwards.

@Ranranzeau It's less my perception of it being "good", and more just my struggle to consistently make something! I like what I've made here, and I always do what I like. When I make music, I don't usually have a sound in my head for what I want, just either nothing or a few key words for direction. More often nothing though, lol.
That's good advice, though not necessarily applicable to my situation.

What @soulfish said. Sounds a lot like 70s instrumental experimental stuff. I liked this one more than your previous pieces. This speaks to how your perception of what is "good" only reflects your expectations towards a given audience. Just do what you like and go further in that direction.

If what you posted doesn't sound like what you had in your head, this is what you need to work on, the translation of your ideas into your music.

Just don't beat yourself too hard, the challenge of these weekly streaks is to continue! You will not always be super happy with the result but sometimes when you listen back a few weeks later you'll realize it was never as bad as you thought. Good luck for the next one too!

The melody reminded me of some of the Zappa instrumentals from early 70s. There's potential here, you should spend more time one this one if you have time.

More submissions by Ashedragon for Weekly Music 2021

Just something short I made as a non-functional harmony plaything.

Something peaceful, as I felt as much lately. It translated to this.

I don't make beats but someone asked me to make a beat and it's kinda something?

I whipped something up really quickly and now I'm hungry from using my brain.

Legit not sure what this is but ok.

Very rough but eh.

Finishing things I started.

Still tossing things together over on this side, maybe it's interesting?

Second: here's a piece of something I started a few weeks ago but made some progress on.

Something.

Forgot to submit my creation for last week so I'll do that hopefully tomorrow.

Started this and I am trying to use nicer sounds, though I do struggle with them. Currently comparing the sound without versus with the sustain pedal on the piano, thoughts?

What I'd forgotten to submit the other week. Just a short, cheerful loop. Might flesh it out.

This was an attempt at making something more fast paced. I think it is still quite slow, so I stopped and will try again with something else. It is not as high energy as I was wanting, but not terrible I suppose.

Been very busy with work so I'd forgotten to upload this work in progress that I started...

I'm still practicing, but I played a melody that I liked and ended up trying to play a harmony to go with it. I can't quite play intricate things, but I tried my best!
(The repeat bass was added later, of course it definitely can't be played in tandem with everything else)

Pardon my Scottish. Partially influenced by Anomalie.

Worked on the instrumental for a song I started writing a while back.
I really hate how the guitars sound but I'm not sure if that's just my guitar or the amp sim I'm using so I didn't touch it for now.

Something very short, not finished. Didn't spend a lot of time composing this week.
