Well, Bob, this has great potential and the key sounds are outstanding and the composition is a cute motive that might've deserved a bit of a musical arc, but altogether you've done a really nice job. The string quality still stunns me!

I like an instrument front stage, like a conversation.  Maybe a few copied parts with additional sounds layered could have spiced it up a bit, but overall really pleasant on the ears.

Hey doc this is awesome. I think my favourite of yours I've heard so far. You do great work in this style!

Nice strings sound and composition, good luck and hope your feeling better.

Great job with the sound palette.  Nice strings! And the floaty feel works very well.  Enjoyed this

and the fluttering background pads - sweet!

-------------------------------------------------------

Although OSC is currently celebrating its 200th anniversary, this track was created for the 198th challenge – a small tribute to the series that nevertheless captures the groove of the anniversary energy.

With 92 BPM, catchy harmonies, a concise bass hookline, and crisp kicks, FractiQ takes you straight to the dance floor. The melodic fractals weave together into a catchy tune that sticks in your mind.

Perfect for all fans of melodic music, hypnotic chords, and pulsating energy.

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.
