Im finding making songs that donβt just sound like chopped loops quite tricky using the koala sampler, still itβs fun to use & easily at hand. This is a wip for this weeks @musicweeklies.bsky.social challenge prompt which was #anxious
For the @musicweeklies.bsky.social #Anxious challenge. I was sitting in a hospital some years back waiting for my son to get out of surgery. That is a tough thing for a parent. #video #OriginalMusic #MusicSky #NoAI youtu.be/5VQV90uAsVs

This week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social theme was #Crabs What kind of music does a crab need? Well I shuffled sideways along to this so itβll do I guess. Used the koala sampler app, which is an ace piece of kit.
This week's @musicweeklies.bsky.social theme is #Unplug so I did a quick acoustic guitar ditty for it. Excuse my playing, especially in the second bit, itβs been a while! #musicchallenge #acoustic #guitar

Nothing more sensual on a Sunday evening than some Gameboy pulse bass π My entry for this weeks @musicweeklies.bsky.social prompt which was #sensual so I tried to get my sexy bass onβ¦ #MusicChallenge #Muwee #lsdj #gameboy #sexypulsebass
The world is quiet, suspended. Nothing demands attentionβ¦ 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 π #Stillness (in motion) #chiptune #gameboy #lsdj #MusicChallenge @musicweeklies.bsky.social
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 π #musicchallenge #korggadget #mobilemusiccreation #muwee #ps1 #rpg
