My submission for the One Synth Challenge #151 using Ableton Live 10 and using the excellent soft-synth GR-8 by phuturetone.

35 Instances of GR-8 with Live 10's stock plugins

H - Man - Ks-8

Track playthrough: https://youtu.be/QiOIzymRvwY

Created for OSC 151 using 31 instances of the GR-8 synth by Phuturetone for all sounds. DL enabled for WAV.

The synth has a classic sound, with a modern FX section, so I wanted to bridge the old school vibes with some new school sound and production. I always liked those darker drum and bass tunes, and wanted to push the sound design to see what it could do.

Be My G.U.Y.

let me sleep

i left the town
and he drove me home
i stare at him
in the parking lot

i quit the days
and he stays away
i disappear
after he leaves
i left the town
and he drove me home
i cry during sex
we lay in bed

i broke my legs
and he took me home
and we drank, we drank
and i died

my headache isn't gone
when you miss the rain
i had a dream
while taking a bath
he cries while i leave
and i stay quiet

the last ride home

Dancing with your eyes closed

i light
a cigarette
overlooking the holler
with your heart strings
on my mind
sure
it’s been a long time
since then but my
gut says
intertwine
nervous
to even say hello
i’m broken
let’s make this house a home
so
i’ll be your pen pal
under the condition
that you write back to me
oh, we’ve been using snail mail
this whole time
i need some more speed
i’d be your lover
if we’d close this distance
and i’d have you with me
oh, who would even count all
those miles, surely not me

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.

I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!
