KVRAUDIO OSC 64: Salt line's Swierk 

Title: Tracking the salt line.
This months was themed on the Salt line in Cheshire uk (also the synth devs. name also in cheshire ;-)) the Salt Line follows the route of a disused railway line.  The line was used to transport coal and limestone to the chemical works which used brine in the manufacturing process, hence the name Salt Line, but is now a countryside walk/cycling route.

You Wind Me Up (like Clockwork) - 'One Slightly Crazy 65 Mix'

KVR One-Synth-Challenge #66 ODsay by Elektrostudio

Brief: This months track came about after a chat whilst driving to work about how these days people depend so much on internet and social sites, compared to 20 years ago.
 Kind of got me thinking about the future dreamers, imagineers and the dream realisers (a bit deep this month ;-p).
An obvious one is the long documented one of man's venture into space, from the imagineers whose future dreams lead the way and some can be traced back hundreds of years, those dreams always seem fantastically strange, exciting new worlds, yet some with a dark almost foreboding tale and not least to the present realisers of those dreams and those that live them like the magnificent ISS.
Hence the picture is a merge of past and present worlds with a past image from a 1958 publication "How to Draw Rockets & Spaceships by Charles Sargeant and a recently present image of space shuttle docking docking at the international space station.
    
So I present an Ode to the future dreamers, imagineers and the dream realisers. The dream lives on.
