A submission by rain26 for Weekly Music 2025 51

my dream has happened. people are releasing 'music' at only 1 minute long. i can soon call myself a real artist according to the new standard. so i can keep making 1 minute songs. the stuff i enjoy writing yaaaayyy

@rain26 interesting, I never thought of automating the frequency range of the EQ for a buildup. I’ll need to try that up.

@Kedbreak136 haha i agree, the buildup is actually the only part i like when it hits at 0:45. i know what ur talking about, just gotta get the rest of the track in that vibe! i can do it. i might try start more tracks from buildup even. its the rising eq automation that does it, i swear: a simple lowpass rising in frequency. u have a good ear for this type of nonsense

Oh yeah I like when the heavy piano hits from 0:45. Great buildup!
The drop at is really cool.
Good luck with more tracks!

nah i dunno what the point of music is

rain2623 days ago

what is the point of music. if there was a point to music i wouldnt do it lol

rain2623 days ago

and i have time at the moment. the most valuable resource. and i have rsi. another great resource

i cant really work from "inspiration" caus i like to make music too much. and im not very inspired

rain2623 days ago

im confident enough just with the amount of music ive made. does it mean ill ever make good music? i dunno. maybe. maybe not. i enjoy what i make often enough i think to have something to say

rain2623 days ago

i dont really see myself as an artist, more like a craftsperson. dont ask me for artistic advice i couldnt give u any

rain2623 days ago

idk if i have a philosophy on making music. i think its mostly making the same thing over and over again though. and not fighting it but still finding ways to make it new

rain2623 days ago

my philosophy on making music. caus ive made a lot of music. 1000s of hours of playing piano. probably a thousand hours in the daw i dunno. is i pretty much make the same things over and over. so now ive found something im not used to using: the pads. so ill get better at that for a while. sometimes i think id benefit from spending a whole year just making buildup drums. not very practical idea but eh

rain2623 days ago

the pad intro on this upload is pretty lazy. but its a preset ill use again

rain2623 days ago

my educational music content is 'i wanna get better at using pads'

rain2623 days ago

im not really focusing on specifics at the moment. i feel like the 3 important things for the electronic music i wanna make are

  1. sound-selection
  2. arrangement
  3. possibly layering? but this is also just sound-selection

i dont really care about midi patterns all that much and whether they work or not. the other 3 things are more what im focused on. ive played drums and piano so i sort of have enough experience on drums and melodies and harmonies so im not really interested in the actual midi patterns. and im definitely not too concerned with things like sound-design or weird effects. but this will probably change in a year or a month, i dont know. i dunno if id prescribe "only focusing on sound selection and arrangement" to everyone. but its what i find works for me at the moment

rain2623 days ago

i like the track mrjay remix of 'playboi carti - philly' at the moment

rain2623 days ago

i use a lot of Echo Sound Works serum1 presets, especially wanna get better at using the pads from them

rain2623 days ago

mostly want to keep combining presets together in one minute arrangements. want to use more piano. want to use the presets ive set as 5 stars in serum

rain2623 days ago

i do really enjoy making 1 minute to 1 minute 30s arrangements though

rain2623 days ago

most of it is phonk/whatever the new percussion genre is. i dont really make that genre
