Dreams

Here's my entry for the OSC #200 challenge. A few people in our OSC Discord responded enthusiastically when I said I was planning to make a contemporary hippie piece. A promise is a promise. Dr Bob immediately sent me live recordings of his band from the good old days. But with my background, with Zebralette and the OSC rules, I can't quite match that. But don't worry, I've tried to capture the spirit of the Flower Power generation which was great fun.

eraze the borders - Night Of The Fists [OSC 200]

Composed for KVR One Synth Challenge 201 using only sounds from Kontrast by Dawesome.

Mid-1990s, somewhere in rural West Germany. A teenager wanders aimlessly through the foggy streets of the small village. The lanterns glow dim and orange through the mist. A dreary, cold November day in the loneliest place in the world. The boy inhales. Cold air fills his lungs and wraps around his soul. The boy exhales. Warm breath evaporates in a cloud before his eyes. He has to get out of here.
