Good morning, everyone! It is time for the inaugural TPF Weekly Beat Cypher. Just post in the thread that you're joining the Cypher and download the samples, follow the simple rules posted below, and spend the next 7 days working on a 1 minute beat. Private message me with a download link to your beat by Saturday, June 11th at midnight pacific standard time, and come check out the thread Sunday morning around this time for the results and next week's Beat Cypher!
THE BORING PART - THE RULES (there's only two)
- You must use both samples provided, and you must compose in the BPM provided. One sample will be a transition sound you place at the start and end of your track, and the other is the featured sample for your beat.
- You have to both post in the thread that you are joining AND private message me with your track before 11:59 PM PST on Saturday for your submission to count.
If you're unsure of how the beat cypher works, here's
an article describing it,
a video that touches on it, and lastly here are all the Team Supreme cyphers, so you can hear how they did it:
Now, onto the fun part: This Week's Challenge!
Our first sample is a clipping from Kanye West's Get 'Em High -
"Uh-uh. I'm try'na catch the beat." Our transitional sample is taken from the concept music for the video game "Frozen Synapse", a track called
Nightpath - Place this at the start and end of your 1 minute beat so I can blend them all together at the end!
Our tempo is 96 Beats Per Minute, so you need to write about 24 bars of music to complete this week's challenge.
Challenge starts now, so get to beatmaking!
