Description: For OSC 128, made with 28 instances of OB-Xd and no reverb.

this is interesting, like an electronic raga or something

I enjoyed this track - feels like a very authentic traditional performance of an isolated electronic species.  The drum kit feels a bit "human"/"Earth" compared to the rest =P

Very interesting, maybe i'd have gone for a darker mix, shelving some hf :)

hi frequency build up is a little distracting but I really like the sounds and the concept -- it seems to keep getting more cohesive.

this changed just in the nick of time.....

I really like the ideas but feel like your playing it a little safe harmonically.  Fun listen.

James Mullen had his first day, or rather his first night in the London police force on that foggy 31 August 1888. He was excited and proud at the same time and he was scared... He shouldn't be afraid, he was a policeman after all! Nevertheless, an uneasy feeling crept over him that simply could not be suppressed. He didn't like being out at night and yet he tried not to let on that he would rather be at home in his bed than prowling through the darkest streets of London in the middle of the night... 

He turned into Buck's Row and suddenly stopped... ‘What's that...?’ He walked slowly towards the small pile in the alley. It was dark and he couldn't see his hand in front of his eyes. Only now did he realise that he had not yet lit his lamp, even though his instructor had told him to do so again and again. 

He lit his lamp and shone it in the direction of the heap on the road and immediately wished he hadn't. Staring in fear and horror, he couldn't believe what he was seeing and without realising it, he cried like he had never cried before in his life... 

‘You'll never forget your first day at the police station’ said his mum with a smile as he said goodbye to her. She was right...

Because of their great love for the nature of their planet, the inhabitants of Ottakota, familiar from almost all over the universe, were the last to approach the development of interstellar flights. The first launch of the Chaika Starship was celebrated on all planets of the United Space. 

As is their custom, ottakotas recorded all important events in the music language. This is the first part of the narrative received from a starship all the way to the outer asteroid belt, where the direct signal was interrupted. Perhaps we will receive the following parts only by subspace transmission or from the next planet, which is included in the list of visits to the ship's log of the Chaika Starship.

This month's One Synth Challenge uses Dawsome Myth. This synth comes with a massive sound design rabbit hole so this month's effort might be biased towards sound design with a rather more lame composition than usual. Created in Bitwig Studio 5.2.7. All patches were created from init and used various samples including vocal phrases, oohs and aahs, my dog barking, a wok lid, hitting metal things and at least one sample generated with Deep Sampler. There might be a patch in there using audio dragged from another patch too... In addition to that, although most tracks were almost exclusively using the synth's built in effects, the following plugins were also used:

- Myth x 19

- Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Nova
- TDR Kotelnikov
- dpMeter 5
- Blue Cat Gain 3
- KClip Zero

Asking for a Friend

Leonard Bowman - Asking for a Friend

A musician and engineer, or at least someone who makes music and engineers things.
Mostly tracks for the KVR One Synth Challenge.
Some of my newer music happens under the name Wrenharmonic.

If I've taken down an old track, it's probably still available somewhere. (or you can just ask me for the file)
