TPF Beat Cypher
Good morning, everyone! It is time for Week 4 of the TPF Weekly Beat Cypher. Just post in the thread below 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, July 2nd at midnight Pacific Time (UTC -8:00), 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 this thread that you are joining AND private message me with your track in 32 or 24 bit, 44.1 kHz WAV or AIFF file format 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:
Here’s last week’s cypher:
Here’s the Beat Cypher playlist:
Now, onto the fun part: This Week's Challenge!
Our first sample is a
live recording I grabbed on the streets of San Francisco of a street performer playing on a homemade drumkit. Quantized and ready for chopping!
Our transitional sample is
a sweep I created out of some noise and the sound of a mechanical knife sharpener.- 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 122 Beats Per Minute, so you need to write 32 bars of music to complete this week's challenge - well, a little bit less but let's make it even.
Challenge starts now, so get to beatmaking!
