In December 2024, I decided to take the leap and learn music production. In January 2025, I took a challenge to make a beat per week for the entire year. I got up to 22 weeks of consistency for my Beat per Week challenge. Unfortunately, I had to stop because of IRL responsibilities, but in those 22 weeks, I've learned a VAST amount of things and exponentially grown my production skills.

These are all the songs I made from the beginning of my music journey in December 2024, up to before my first official single release in December 2025.

All these songs are rough -- they're raw. It's a record of my musical journey from the first year of my production journey. It's a record of all my learning from musical production & composition to mixing & mastering. So some songs may be louder than others, others may have really poor or wide mixes, and some songs are just bad lol.

Thank you for following & joining me on my music journey -- remember that it's never too late to start. :)

This one was a hefty project. I started streaming my process & recording my journey on Twitch!

Come join me next time at https://twitch.tv/ghostish_ 

Special thanks to @exophonicmusic & dumen0213 for stopping by the stream and dropping some producer knowledge & experience! I learned exponentially much with just this one track!

Laserbound Spirit

Reupload. 11/52 beat per week.

Happy with the composition, still super frustrated with the mix. Can't tell whether this version was better or worse than than the last one.

I concede further mixing this song -- for now. I learned quite a lot from this though.

Lessons Learned:
- Sound selection is more than what kind of sounds, but also what frequences. Low & High get filled very easily, so keep that in mind when selecting sounds.
- A "terrible" master is a reflection of the mix. I've had to redo this mix so many times.
- Fix the EQs, mix to the drums.
- Start with low db all around to give yourself headroom. (Now I really know what this means).

So that I can look back and see the improvement:

Moonlit Soda

Poltergeist Princess

13/52 beat per week.

Lessons learned: Sound selection is waaaaaaay more important than I thought.

Not as wide as I'd like it to be, but compared to my last two mixes, I'm quite satisfied. :)

Phantom Chase

14/52 Beat per week.

Finished somewhat early this week. This was one was quite fun, though I think the intro could've used a bit more work.

Ghostly Guide

15/52 Beat Per Week

I am SUPER happy with this one. Super happy with the turn out! I had so much fun with this track. This is the first track where I feel satisfied with pretty much every aspect.

Shout out to @exophonicmusic for the idea to chop up vocals. Wasn't planning on learning vocal chopping yet, but what better time than now, yeah?

エコーちゃん (Echo-chan)

Track 16/52 completed.

Struggling with the mix yet again, but another good learning experience. Really happy with the concept/idea though.

Spectral Dawn

17/52 (Remixed/Remastered)

Did a few changes. Remixed & remastered. Drums might be too loud. But it's fine, I guess lol.

Thank you, Loki! :)

18/52.
Sometimes you make tracks you like. Other times, you make tracks that are a learning experience.

Homage to  @shllw-1's 3:03PM. Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Production Notes:
- Melody sound selection needs work. Actually, it's just bad.
- Arrangement was okay.
- SFX arrangement towards the end seemed off when trying to piece it to the melody.
- SFX probably too much for a bgm track.
- Melody composition was okay. Maybe too complex for the vibe I was going for.
Overall, after getting to a certain point, I wasn't happy with the composition. 

Mixing Notes:
- SFX isn't loud enough to hear the sync with the melody.
- Melody seems too loud still.
- Lacking mids in the intro. Maybe it's just my ears working on this track for so long, but I absolutely hate the melody sound selection in the intro.
- Bell jingles sound too raw and harsh.
- Reverb during the pause is too much, takes away from the silence.

00:00PM

20/52

Honestly... this was kind of a very difficult track for me. So many days this week were spent uninspired. So many days I felt like I was on the cusp of "burning out". 

But I did it. I completed it. And it's... listenable, I guess. Not my proudest work. But still satisfying to be staying on track.

No falling behind for me this week. :)

In order to get to the song I want to make, I have to get through tracks upon tracks upon tracks that I sometimes end up not liking. And that's okay. How many tracks have producers started and scrapped?

I am determined to finish.

Float Signal

21/52 Complete.

The drums aren't exactly where I want them to be, but that's okay. Was having some trouble with limiting and compression on my drums. (Something I need to work on in general during my mixing phase.)

Overall though, I had a ton of fun making this track. Thank you so much @EXOPHONICmusic for teaching me about swing -- its's so fun!

Swingin' Spook

Track 22/52 done. I'm a week late, but that's okay.

Honestly not a fan of the mix. It's not terrible, but I think the drums need work. I need to figure out how to control my kick/snare peak a bit better.

The melody's my favorite part -- thank you @glxycomposer for the sick melody lesson! But that's probably the only part I really like. LOL.

But still, learned quite a few valuable lessons for this track.

Midnight Motion

So, unfortunately I'm no longer doing a track per week. It was a great 22 weeks, and half the year honestly isn't that bad.

But in those 22 weeks of what I'd like to consider my production boot camp journey, I've learned an incredible amount. And this is what I'd consider a culmination of that 22 week journey -- and the beginning of something so much more.

So now, I think it's time to really start fleshing out and giving my future tracks a bit more love.

Thank you @exophonicmusic & @stellaria_vt for teaching me along the way for this track. I've improved so much and it's been such a blast to create music.

I've named this track 「ありがとう」 as I'm so incredibly grateful to those who have taught me along the way, but especially to the God who continually blesses me and allows me to create in this newfound hobby I now have a passion for.

Thank you, Heavenly Father -- 本当にありがとう、神様。

「ありがとう」

This was the most difficult track I've worked on yet.

Original Sample by @kagimusic: https://x.com/KagiMusic/status/1946348422396592143

I had such a hard time trying to figure out a bassline for these colorful chords. Everything I did felt so dissonant and out of key lol. Thank you @stellaria_vt for the assistance in it! Simultaneously, however, this was such an insanely fun track to work on, and it taught me a significant amount.

If the bass still sounds off, I tried my best lol.

I had A LOT of fun with this track. Honestly, I’ve never been so attached to a piece before — so I’m really happy with how it turned out!  

The vibe is chillin’ in a café, but the deeper motivator is to find rest in the Most Holy of Ghosts — the One who can truly give rest. Come join me with a drink, and let’s sit with our Creator.  

"Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”"
— Matthew 11:28-30 NLT

Spectral Dawn was the first kawaii future bass track during my first year of learning music production where I finally felt like I made something as good as Polterpop, the very first KFB track that I made. 

Spectral Dawn gave me hope in my KFB journey because I felt that though it was raw and unrefined, it had a lot of potential. I wrestled with this track for a while until it became Spectral Journey -- the start of my KFB music journey.

Dedicated to my Lord, Jesus Christ -- the Way, the Truth, & the Life -- my guild & party leader in life -- and the One who blessed me with the gift & time to learn music.
