Some of the fun experiments in this track:
* All effects in-synth. No mastering effects. LUFS low to minimize clipping.
* The track features 3 different main time signatures with some effort into seamless transitions.
* Melody / arp lines time warped with non-linear time-warping homebrew scrips (sinus and exponential time mapping).
* Multi-instrumental 1/8 echo delay. I.e. the delays are using different Myth instruments.
* Tempo is linearly changing between 90 and 135 BPM during most of the track.
* Sound design. Just random knob turning to taste, LFO stuff and effects.
* All EQs and reverbs are in-synth.
* Most volume mixing with MIDI velocity. (not 100% though).

Theme song to the sci-fi summer flick "The Myth of Time (2031)"
Oscar winner 2032 for best original soundtrack.

In a sprawling, dystopian future where the rich control the flow of time, Alex Kane, a hardened "Time Hunter," is hired to track down and eliminate rogue time manipulators—individuals who illegally alter the timeline for personal gain. Time is no longer a fixed constant; it has become a commodity, and those who possess the power to control it live like gods. When Alex is tasked with finding Evelyn Roarke, a mysterious woman who has reportedly discovered a way to break the time loop that has enslaved humanity, he uncovers a dangerous secret.

Evelyn, once a brilliant scientist, has become a fugitive after stealing the prototype for a device that could allow anyone to escape the corporate-controlled timeline. But her discovery comes with a chilling revelation: the timeline is not what it seems, and humanity’s history has been deliberately warped to maintain a cycle of oppression. As Alex dives deeper into the underworld of time manipulation, he begins to question his own past, unraveling memories that don’t seem to belong to him and discovering that his every decision may have already been made.

Haunted by visions of alternate realities, Alex must decide whether to follow his mission and kill Evelyn, or join her in her quest to shatter the myth of time itself. In a city where past, present, and future blur into a nightmarish kaleidoscope, The Myth of Time explores the boundaries of free will, memory, and the ultimate cost of controlling time.

The Myth of Time [OSC189]

My Entry: "Centuries". Made of OSC 189

Style: Electronic Soundtrack Circa. With Pop, Classical and Drone
elements.

~8 instances of MYTH VST3 in EXT64 beta (see screenshot at KVR thread).
~1 custom sample imported in MYTH for 2 drums sounds.
~free VST effects:  RSS EQ302, EfektorGQ36, LoudMax64.

What about this MYTH synth? Surely it sounds good, but of the many
'mangling' resynthesis features some I found too grainy or useless, sounding to me
like many alternative types of harmonic distortions. Therefore too
expensive as CPU load for the actual results, those could be replaced
with focused external plug-in effects, in studio use.
What I liked most of MYTH is the easy adding of envelopes and
synced LFOs to modulate the parameters, very good.

Comment if you like but don't feel like you need to. I'm not happy with this one somehow. Feel like it slipped away. Don't feel like I figured out Myth so much. It is almost all init(as usual) with plenty of my own samples, some physical modeling, etc). Really tried to utilize what was special about Myth. But think I would have done better just with presets this time.

All sounds from init except the vocal pad is a tweaked factory patch. 

What does the title/pic mean? 
I have had many dreams throughout my life about finding hidden doors that lead to magical places. The picture is of a abandoned stairway in a house I lived in for a few years in college. Leads to the backside of a refrigerator. I had dreams about that house, that there were secret floors burrowed back into the hillside, etc. And at one point years later I couldn't remember if this abandoned stairway really was there or I just dreamed it.

Anyway making this triggered another of that type of dream.
