I appreciate the extra trace gate.  but there isn't enough compositional structure in it for me. good sounds though.

I thought your track was going to be a lot more "found sounds" than this.

I mean -there is composition. maybe it's too sparce feeling for me. and of a continuous mood.

starts nicely dubby to my ear, but then remains suspended in some kind of eastern playful thing (yes I read you comment)

Myth was a difficult beast!  I think if your track told more of a story. Edited to tighten up. Probably a bit shorter. And it could get there.

I like the wackiness of it. Choir has some nice moments, too. Very nervous the whole thing with the tight delays, like it expresses fear somehow. But, HEY, it expresses something! That's good!

Considering how uncertain you are with this, you've still chosen to make it quite a bit longer than it needed to be. Shorter, stick to the strong theme you introduced and this could be a good statement for your Myth experience!

I agree with your description here, it has some really nice sounds in there but somehow it doesn't come together.

i really like the echoey drums, they set a good mood for me. Less fond of the melodic stuff in this case. Fantastic art!

I think it's cool, very quirky, maybe a bit disjointed but a fun listen.

"The Myth of Time"

November 2024 submission for One Synth Challenge #189

Synth: 12 x Dawesome Myth 1.5
Effects: ALL effects are synth-only.

Mastering: None. No limiter, so please dial up the volume a few dB.

Synth: 12 x Dawesome Myth 1.5
DAW effects: None
Additional effects: None
Master bus: None

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]

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.

This is my entry "Mythic Odyssey" for the 189th edition of the KVR One Synth Challenge. All sounds were generated using the Myth plugin with a mix of free and included effects in Ableton Live 11.
I hope you enjoy it and feel free to offer any comments on how I might improve it if I do a remix for a wider release.

I aim to make some artwork for the track tomorrow as I needed to post it before the end of the month.

Please also note that downloads are only intended for personal use. Redistribution to other platforms (except for what is needed for the challenge ), modification, or other commercial uses is prohibited. If you wish to use it commercially or do a remix don't hesitate to contact me first to work out a deal.

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.

OSC197 That One Door (Odin2)

the feeling of a cuttlefish trying its best to blend in, but everyone at the party goes "hey, have you noticed Sarah doesn't write with her arms, instead she has tentacles coming out of her face?" but you're able to just go with it and everything works out real chill ♥
