A dream between nighmare and lively parts.

Dreaming

Composed for the KVR "One Synth Challenge" n. 186 in August 2024. Sounds generated from the free VST synth Tricent mkIII by Full Bucket Music, coupled with some instances of the VST reverb Solaris by Adam Szabo.

This track is dedicated to a very special place for me. Exactly one year ago, in this month, I was on holiday in Florence and on the second-to-last day of my stay I finally took the opportunity to visit the Church of Santa Croce in the morning. The heavily manipulated picture I've chosen as the cover was taken exactly at 9:58 AM and my composition aims to express the mixed sense of wonder, magnificence and... Stendhal's Syndrome I was feeling in those moments, while visiting this grandiose monument that also has an enormous value in the cultural history of Italy.

Fun fact: Stendhal's Syndrome phenomenon harks exactly to the sensations Stendhal himself felt after visiting Santa Croce!

Enjoy!

Created for OSC #186 = Any Two Synths using Odin2 and Vital.
Genre: Synth orchestral / trailer music / cinematic

Our brave heroes wait behind the castle walls as the enemy approaches. First the horns sound in the distance, and then slowly approach. Some notes ring familiar, while others are strangely alien. Three final eerie blasts as the ram begins its foul work upon the gate. When the enemy finally breaks through, not only men but twisted creatures with robotic voices join in the battle. As the fighting gets more and more chaotic, our protectors make a final stand. Can they prevail?
