I like the way the melody is played here. Nice.

The percussion sounds a bit too wet in reverb. I would try reducing the reverb amount for contrast.

At the beginning (15 sec) the kick sounds like LoudMax/Limiter is distorting the sound a bit. I will double the good panning work on the percussions :)

got me in the first 8 beats!  Love the vibe.

I love simple melodies like this -- feels like it could have been slightly "looser" though -- should be floating above the backing track....

This is interesting and a good try but the first section works better.

I love the flamenco guitar stuff. so pretty.

One Synth Challenge #173: Bucket Pops and Bucket One by Full Bucket Music

Yo fam, 
 
We are less than 3 weeks away from going into full
BEAST mode with the FlavorWave movement. 
 
Here are a few things to know... 

The Mission:
 
We're standing our ground and rebelling against 
the trashy, recycled sound epidemic by creating 
the HOTTEST new genre.
 
Then we're gonna give it away to light up the producer 
community and inspire a new wave of music messiahs.

FlavorWave a.k.a. the hyperbolic prophecy (”SaviourWave”)
is now in full effect and we are already crushing it!

Yup, you heard it right – we're dropping this for FREE
right in your lap, no strings attached. 

So we can create the most revolutionary music genre
and give it away to the producer community.
 
This will help you break free from the chains of recycled 
styles and step into the realm of sonic excellence. 

*We can only give it away if we reach our goal*

The Goal: 
 
Our goal is to raise at least 5 points minimum per voter to 
invest in more tools so we can create the most epic genre ever!
 
All points will go into the making of this genre
so we can create a MONSTER like Dr. Funkenstein. 
 
With your support, we'll reignite the FIRE in the
One Synth Challenge and raise the bar like a bodybuilder.

Stretch Goal:
 
If you help us double our goal and vote 10 points...
(by creating a fake KVR account, posting 40 times and then voting 5 pts again)
 
We'll unleash the Black Bucket POPS Edition with one more 
preset for you and all other supporters.
 
*Black POPS will only be available for this campaign*

Rewards: 
 
The more you give, the more you get back.
 
You want super exclusive expansions of your mind?
 
You can choose from a variety of styles that 
grant you exclusive access to rare harmonies.
 
No one else will have access to them but you
and our community of rebels.

Let the FlavorWave begin! 
 
At 12 midnight PST August 16th... 
 
You'll be able to claim your badge in the ranks 
of FlavorWave soldiers pushing a rebellion in sound.
 
Get ready to join the FlavorWave Revolution!

Together, we'll obliterate the mundane, redefine the game,
and make music history!
 
Keep your eyes on the lookout for the results
at 12 midnight PST August 16th.
 
Let's goooooooo fam!
 
Peace and love,
GrizzlyBjörn (Fool Bucket)

Constructive feedback appreciated. 
Synthesizer reggae is a bit dubious anyway IMO. I made 4 tracks for 173 as I liked the synth so much. This is probably the 3rd best of those. But more curious concerning feedback for this one. If played loud on a good system I do enjoy it personally.

If I'm so enticing
Invite me
Into your home
The second you pick up
In sight of the one who can give us
Fell into the trap of a warlock
Can't blame the world for what's your fault
Showing the nice side of me
Hiding my spite quietly
Holding my hand out for the
Chance you may reach back to me

It's never enough
You must

Run for the door cause it's closing
You'll land with a brand of the chosen
Known for controlling
News of the broken
Chaining yourself to a token
Who's un-awoken
Spoke of the free
Burned down the tree
Mephistopheles
Has latched onto the

You're treading with the enemy
Watch your step, less your presence is meant to be
You'll find no sympathy
Cover up, hide your shame from the deity
Outcast of the century
Is left to seethe

And be left with just breath as your company
In exchange you'll see 
Changes in the life you lead

Darling, it has come to be
Darling.
Darling, it has come to be

It seems the wind blows colder
The sun can get no lower
So forfeit
This violence
We'll find you peace in silence

And as the clock ticks slower
No chance you're getting older
So forfeit
This violence
We'll find you... in silence

You're treading with the enemy
Watch your step, less your presence is meant to be
You'll find no sympathy
Cover up, hide your shame from the deity
Outcast of the century
Is left to seethe

Left to Seethe

For this track I used 11 instances of a wonderful synth named Thorn by Dmitry Sches (DS Audio). All modulations of the parameters have been done live by making use of aftertouch and/or the modulation wheel. So no automations other than some volume changes here and there. In a studio setting, I think this makes the music nice and organic. Of course, a DJ on stage always does this. 

The title “Anemoia” is referring to the phenomenon of feeling nostalgic to a time or place that one has not experienced before...

DAW: Reaper 7.34

Mixing: Plexi Tape, Space Station, Echoes T7E and Grain Space by Audiority. Sonsig Rev-A by Relab. Body & Soul by TSOM, Graphic EQ by Viator and UADx 1176 FET Compressor by Universal Audio.

March 11th: New mix and added WideFire by United Plugins to several tracks.

Mastering: Smart EQ4 and Smart Limit by Sonible

Anemoia (OSC #193)

Hyped4Dance 00

Inspired by the view out of the side window in the living room, looking out onto our back garden.
Recorded in a single take using a preset from Slate & Ash's Cycles processed with Output's Portal, with a bit of slow random modulation of Portal's parameters using Live's LFO Random. I pitched/slowed down the result slightly too.

The gremlins in Negoba's studio decided to steal snippets of his previous OSC's to create a monster destined to confound and disgust all listeners. Unbeknownst to them, their creation (Jenkins) instead prefers cuddles and long walks on the beach.

All sounds created using Odin2 Softsynth by Wave Warden for KVR OSC #197.

Mix of stock presets, tweaked presets, and init. Shout back a bit to a previous track where I used Odin on an open round. I think I’ve learned a little since then.

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

This month was a real challenge!

When I looked at Odin, I came up with the idea of a true One (!) Synth Challenge – just a single instance, no excuses.
I dove deep into sound design and quickly realized: this would become a real borderline experience.

While endlessly tweaking, I kept discovering new sonic paths – sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating.
Odin could be pretty temperamental when dealing with MIDI, but in the end, I managed to shape something that feels raw, tense, and expressive.

So here it is: Grenzerfahrung (borderline experience) –
a track born from limitation, chaos, and way too many hours. ;)

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.

Created as a response to:

insect tremolo
soberingly cools the heat
of farmland roads

Naviar haiku challenge 603, details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

Created using Voltage Modular and a lot of crickets from freesound. 

The synth elements are quite minimal and all driven semi-randomly, there's a fair amount of subtle random modulation built into each element so the final track, while a live take was mostly a mix with only a few other controls.

All the cricket samples were CC0, I'll add attribution and links when I work out which ones I actually used. :)
