At first, I thought the snare sounded a little hollow, but overall, the drums are an instant highlight.

I wish the bass was a little bigger to the drums....  great sound - maybe just a little louder?

Cool - nice filter mod on the bass and that staccato pianoish thing really works.

At first, it's like a rap beat. At this point, I was expecting someone to start reciting)

But instead, it turned into a full-fledged, wide and beautiful piece of music with interesting transitions!

hey that drums, very beautiful, and a great range of well used sounds.

Madrigal OSC146

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...

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.

SiL3NC3_SWX - Grenzerfahrung [OSC197]

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. :)
