First published as my week 13 submission for Weeklybeats 2024 (https://weeklybeats.com/xjs/music/u5-nach-hauptbahnhof), this track is based on a field recording from the Berlin metro that I made during a visit around Easter, and thus obviously needed to include Ableton Live's »Berlin« resonator preset.

U5 nach Hauptbahnhof

🎵 Sokkyo (即興) - Nouvelle Instrumentale 🎵

Salut à tous,

Aujourd'hui, je vous présente "Sokkyo," un morceau qui porte bien son nom. En japonais, "Sokkyo" signifie "impromptu," et c'est exactement l'esprit dans lequel j'ai créé cette musique. Ces dernières semaines, je dois avouer que je traverse une période de doute. J'ai l'impression que mes dernières créations n'ont pas le même impact, qu'elles manquent de ce petit truc en plus. En un mot, je stagne.

Malgré cette phase un peu compliquée, j'ai décidé de continuer à partager avec vous chaque semaine ce que je produis. La musique, c'est un chemin semé d'embûches, et même si je ne suis pas toujours satisfait du résultat, je pense que c'est important de rester constant, de ne pas lâcher l'affaire.

"Sokkyo" est peut-être né de cette frustration, de ce sentiment d'être un peu à court d'idées, mais c'est aussi un rappel de ce que la création musicale représente pour moi : un processus qui demande persévérance et résilience. Mon objectif reste inchangé : je veux travailler avec des artistes en tant que beatmaker, et je sais que pour y parvenir, il faut accepter les moments de doute et les utiliser pour se relever plus fort.

Merci à vous de m'accompagner dans ce voyage musical, même quand la route est un peu cahoteuse. J'espère que "Sokkyo" saura trouver une résonance en vous, et je suis toujours ouvert à vos retours, qu'ils soient bons ou critiques.

N'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire, à partager, et à vous abonner si ce n'est pas encore fait. Votre soutien est essentiel pour moi et pour continuer à progresser.

À la semaine prochaine pour un nouveau morceau !

Sokkyo

I went to a couple Thursday night blues jams in a bar attached to a Chinese restaurant. Fun to get up and play some drums (on a decent house kit) with various people. Do some shufflin, some rocking, hold down those 12 bars. Blues and bluesy rock are not something I listen to often, but a good genre as a jumping off point for open jams in bars. I made a living for about year as drummer in blues band in my early 20's actually, but that's a story for another day. So down at the jam, we get some blues dancers moving around on the tiny dance floor, a good little friendly scene I'll probably go back to get a little live playing fix.

So that little tidbit relates to this week's song in a way. This week's song samples the public domain song St. Louis Blues by TED LEWIS and HIS BAND (https://archive.org/details/78_st-louis-blues_ted-lewis-and-his-band-handy_gbia0268157b?utm_source=DisquietJunto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=disquiet-junto-project-0660-louis-blues-st). I started playing with this for the Disquiet Junto (https://disquiet.com/0659/?utm_source=DisquietJunto&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=disquiet-junto-project-0660-louis-blues-st) project last week, which I didn't finish. The prompt was to: "Break a public domain song into parts and reorganize them." After hearing so much blues lately I had been thinking about doing something like that. After some false starts trying to execute on my first plans, I finally decided I needed to get up a boogie, so I followed the muse and this is what came out. Took a break from making this to do some chores and words popped in my head so said them into the phone. Played with Ableton 12.1's new Auto Shift auto tune device to edit that voice recording, I'm liking it. I wonder what the Thursday night blues dancer's  would think about this track?

Hitting another Slump oh joy.
Tried for a Follin style breakdown and solo at the suggestion of snyderman. Breakdown a-ok (inspired by BGM 2 from silver surfer) but the solo turned into a no go…
