nice dark melancholy ... resonates well with me. Well done.

Very nice break, cool to hear those pads exposed, Sounds good. Makes the subsequent lead synth sound better than before, I think. Your snare/clap sounds superb, btw

Such a simple but very hypnotic composition!

Really like this one!  Strong melodies and replies.  Cool sounds.  Solid stuff.

This part reminds of Kraftwerk The Model.

This is the instrumental version.
It was all made on my phone 📱 
Full version w/ Lyrics will be out soon!

Darksynth FX - Handle With Care

Written and created by me with a single instance of the free Apricot synth by nakst, for the monthly KVR One Synth Contest. This synth produces an amazingly rich sound!
As this synth cannot use automation with Cubase, I could only use one preset, using only a few mod wheel inputs plus reverb and EQ to change the sound.

Tell Me You Love

Verrrrrry much looking forward to a couple of October days in Suffolk playing and musicking with two favourite musicians @kate-gallaher and @stellato-strings. I'm mucking around today tapping into the iceberg that is Logic Pro learning how to edit and cut and do effects effectively. Blimey there's so much room in this universe. This is me taking some long notes of @kate-gallaher playing Handel and going wobbly. I'm pleased with this experiment on a train back from Stoke today :))

This is my response to this week's @naviarrecords Haiku prompt. Here's more info about that:

Lazing in shadows,
Conceding the drawing room
to moonrays

Natsume Seibi (1749-1816) was the son of a wealthy Edo rice broker and was acquainted with a number of other famous poets, including Oshima Ryota and Kobayashi Issa. In addition to his poetry, Seibi left behind a number of fine examples of haikai prose. 

Seven days to make music in response to the assigned haiku: to participate visit https://www.naviarrecords.com/about/naviar-haiku

Deadline: 6th September 2023

DREAMS - SYNTHWAVE TYPE BEATS (10)

From experimental unreleased album together with Puretexture.

Lost

Awakening – Ken Mercer
The dawn of a new world begins…

After the chaos and rebirth told in ReGenesis, the journey continues with Awakening — an epic electronic odyssey through the first moments of a brand-new Earth. The storms have settled. The machines have fallen silent. From the ashes of destruction, light breaks once again across the horizon.

Awakening is the sound of life returning — the heartbeat of a world rediscovering balance. The track opens in stillness, as if the planet itself is taking its first breath. Slowly, waves of synth energy rise, fusing organic warmth with digital precision, painting the birth of a world where nature and technology coexist in harmony.

This is not just a continuation, but a transformation. Humanity, nature, and machine consciousness all begin to stir — no longer at odds, but evolving together. The melodies build toward transcendence, symbolizing an era of unity, discovery, and hope.

A new sun rises. The planet awakens.
And the story continues...

🎧 Composed, performed, and produced by Ken Mercer
🌍 Part of the evolving concept album that began with “JarreMinator” and “ReGenesis.”
🎹 Inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre and the limitless horizons of electronic sound.

Awakening

Darksynth FX was born out of deep love for dark synth sounds and haunting melodies.
