P3.2W3D5

Last workout for the week, going to make some changes for the upcoming week. Since I have a hard time enduring straight cardio I’m going to start tagging my workouts with a four minute tabita session. Four minutes is a lot easier to endure than 45 minutes of whatever hamster-wheel equipment is available.

leg press: 190×6, 230×6, 270×6, 310×6 (combo w/ calf press)
calf press: 190×6, 230×6, 270×6, 310×6 [45 sec b/w]

New Music: DT5

Uploaded a short ep of music that I’ve worked on to the point of annoyance. That usually means that it’s time to move on. This is four tune that took a long time to work out. It’s my first real attempt at emulating non-electronic music and the most sample heavy music I’ve ever done.

It was mostly composed in Reason, with a lot of production performed in the logic. For most of the tunes I took a rough sketch from Reason and added more instruments and production in Logic.

It was fun trying to make something with a groove.
