10,000

Documenting every hour until the 10,000th. They say you gotta put in your 10,000 hours, so I will be showcasing my music (mainly Hip-Hop) production on this blog for the purpose of documenting my progress on the road to 10,000 hours. I started taking this seriously in the middle of the summer (of 2016), so for all intensive purposes, I'm gonna start off at 100 hours. I've easily put in more than 100 hours so far, but I'll be humble and start at a nice base number like 100. Basically, by the end of this, I hope to see a dramatic difference in my ability. If not, fuck it. I've also decided to scrub my SoundCloud to make way for a revamped sound, 'cause all that old shit was trash. Since there's like a grand total of 4 people that probably follow this, I don't think anyone will care, but if people do care, I'll re-upload all those at a different time. LATEST PROJECT

Here’s another thing I think I forgot to post on here. My most viewed sound yet somehow (and it ain’t my best), I guess the power of meme remixes is real.

Here’s one I made a while ago but never uploaded. It’s a beat that reminds me of like Japan or some shit, but with a hard Hip-Hop element. Hence the use of the word Guapanese, which seems to be used a lot.

I’ve put a lot of hours in recently, haven’t kept track, honestly, but I’m gonna generously say that this is hour 150.

Sorry for going ghost for so long, I haven’t posted a lot of my stuff here recently, but here’s my most recent sound I made for a rapper.

Spent a few hours on this, was trying to find complimentary melodies because I don’t know a thing about keys lol. Still a WIP as always.

Would say this is 130/10000

still a WIP. Started it on 4/20, not that it’s related to 420.

Took a different approach than I usually do when making instrumentals. I still plan on adding switch-ups and extending this into a full length song.

Sounds came out surprisingly balanced, I might extend it a bit,b ut i t took me a while to find these complimentary melodies.

This is something that kind of took me a while to figure out.

Here’s a ‘finished’ version of my previous track. I say ‘finished’ cause everything’s a WIP lol.

Only used 2 different synths for this one, they’re called Grandma’s FM Radio 1 and 2, respectively. Yeah, I know, I know, no variation, but I think it came out pretty bangin’.
