My favourite entry is probably "To the Top!" I like how tight it is with the soaring melody and the lower counterpoints. @musicweeklies.bsky.social was a great starting point for composing music with different approaches. I'd love to do it again when I have more time. 😅 youtu.be/DgpnErz9ZLM?...

In 2023, I wrote so many tracks Music Weeklies’ challenges. I’ve been thinking about getting back into these challenges. This here is probably my favorite entry. I struggled HARD with mixing and mastering back then. Still a good piece tho imo 🥰 #composer #indiegamedev #vgm #gamemusic

I’ve made a start on this and it’s shaping up to be a fun one. I’m keen to know if the nod I’ve put in there gets picked by anyone 😃

This is such an impossible task! I like pretty much everything I made but I will go with this one. It’s not the most advanced or complex musically or technically but it has a sentimental value. Call me cheesy😂 stephaniemerchak.bandcamp.com/track/beyond...

I think my track for the first MuWee birthday celebration was the one I had the most fun making. It was a silly piece that I made almost entirely with my mouth and post-processing. 😅 soundcloud.com/brandon-writ...

This is not only incredibly fun (and challenging in a great way), but also the very definition of "lean".

I didn't know which track to choose for this, but I've gone with one I did for the Mars theme in January 2025. I guess it's a bit more front of mind than others as I've been half way through a Jupiter themed track for some time now. This is "The view from Phobos" on.soundcloud.com/tlm9W9IAmCyz...
The View From Phobos
A track for the Music Weeklies "Mars" challenge. I had it finished a little after it was due (January 2025) and never posted it.

I really enjoyed the co-op challenges, think I did a few with @micheldebois.bsky.social so cool to see his musical brain in action! On this one we worked with hefkanekopunk too, to create a bonkers, day of the dead chiptune romp 💀🤘 youtu.be/zPR4Rf3FzW8?...

Been participating in Music Weeklies for a couple years now (ever since 2023 iirc!), and while I like a great deal of the material I've written for it, I think "Nitro Blur" speaks to me the most. @musicweeklies.bsky.social and the small but tight community built around it is great! Happy 10th!

I'm super proud of a lot of the pieces I made, and hoping to soon get back in the saddle. But the piece I'm most happy with, that made me realise I can write the #jazz I love is this one: (Don't mind the mixing, though...) #composer

Jazzy take on the Middle East meets Norway. Includes theme from Mannen og Kråka (Norwegian children's folk tune). #Arabianprincess submission for @musicweeklies.

One? Other than time,doubt, work, etc? Ok. Inconsistency. I can make a good track one day, and spend my next 15 tracks being close to awful. It's very discouraging. Ideally, I would like to set aside (or create 2 add'l hours a day) and get a grasp on what works and what doesn't so I can produce.
