Every Once in a while

50 days of Sounds

Last year in July 2020  during the lockdown, I started a self-initiated challenge to compose 50 tracks and I sucessfully completed the challenge in a year :) This challenge certainly helped me to stay sane during tthe pandemic aand helped me grow as a musician/ producer by the means of experimenting only. The reason why this project is called  'Every once in a while'  is that literally, I would make a track keeping some gap since I know I can't keep up with every day / consecutive day challenges, so gave myself some leave on that.

Most of the tracks are made in synchronicity with what I am reading, watching, or hearing. In some of my tracks I have used voice-over samples, thanks to everyone who contributed, I’ve credited all those whom I approached for sampling their voice, while in some of them I’ve used voice clips from YouTube videos (I don’t have any rights but none of the music is used for commercial purposes) and when I couldn’t find perfect voice over I even used text to speech functionality on different software.

I am aware 30 songs to go through at once can take a lot of time, hence here's my recommendation list: Entropy of a black hole, Voyager, Heliocentricity, Starship, Code of Hammurabi, Hit-enter-to-play, Computers are in control, Illustris & S4. I do agree a lot of tracks are not perfect and there's a huge scope of improvisation, but my aim was to get better as I aim for numbers. 

I also plan to release an album with 8 handpicked tracks from this list, so keep a watch. :) 

Gear used - M-Audio Midi;  Ibanez GSR200 Bass; Xylophone, Mouth Harp; iPhone (voice sample and ambiance sampling) and a bunch of free VSTs.
