This month is the turn of the rather lovely Odin2 by The Wave Warden. Another track with a title that is almost completely but not quite totally unrelated to the tune. When a cheese sammich just won't cut it, I present: Odin's BLT.

Back to Bitwig this month for another track created from a bunch of launcher clips adlibbed into a track in one take. A few other wee bits and pieces were added and here we are. All patches from init apart from maybe the kick which started out as a preset. There would have been some automation of Odin's parameters only there seems to be some sort of clash between Bitwig and Odin2 when using automation.

Anyhoo, 15 instances of Odin2 and some of the usual suspects:

- dpMeter5, Blue Cat Audio Gain 3 and KClip Zero on clip to zero duty
- kHs Stereo
- kHs Trance Gate
- OTT
- ZL Equalizer
- the ubiquitous Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Kotelnikov and Nova ably assisted by KClip Zero on mastering duty
- percussion sequenced with Beat Scholar's MIDI rendered to the track
- arp MIDI generated by Eternal Arps

For those who care about such things:
-10.6 LUFS INT
-8.8 LUFS ST

Apologies for the repetitiveness: listening over and over and it still doesn't feel like six minutes to me so I didn't cut it down. Also there's nothing to induce a boyband to stand up from their stools...

Another wee escape from the strictures of the One Synth Challenge. This time the theme is "predominantly sample based" so here's a bunch of related samples mashed together! This is the first time I've made a track just using sample packs. And a wee bit of lift from Klevgrand's OneShot.

Something Something Roses

Made for OOOSC#5 using all samples from my hard drive, no synth patches.
Tuned in 22edo.

-- Lyrics --

Look around, at night and you'll find out
The stars only show up if you dare to cut the lights out
Sighing like you're tired of the sun but when it shines out
Low on the horizon you'd never dare
To turn out the lights
No
We turn out the lights
Whoa

On the sound, you cling to the lighthouse
Staring at the shoals, you would never dare to strike out
Farther from the shore, where the land is out of sight now (but)
Looking at the stars to navigate, we turn out the lights
And sail away
A ship in the night 
Hey

(if you turn the lights off, you can be your own star)

Don't be afraid of the dark
Look around and you'll see the stars
Don't be afraid of the dark
Look around and you'll see

If you're afraid of the dark, join us,
You'll be surrounded by stars
If you don't know where to start, join us,
You'll be surrounded by stars
In the night there's a place for us,
Where we're surrounded by stars
And from the moment you start to to trust,
You'll be surrounded by stars

You look around at night, and you smile now
Basking in the light, coming from a trillion miles out
Beaming in the distance, no resistance, no fear
Just all of us here, and our thousand closest neighbors radiant,
Sending us a gift from decades past like a broadcast stating this:
"Don't be afraid of the dark
The lights are always on out here"

Turn Out the Lights / Surrounded by Stars
