Name: Abandoned World Lament by Fredrik Forsberg
Duration: 4 min 48 s
Description: Except for drums this is entirely the Proteus 2000 with some expansion cards (Techno, Beat, Peter Siedlaczek) with effects from Valhalla and Waves. The main silky pad was inspired from the track Aquatic Ambience in the SNES game Donkey Kong Country. I guess the Proteus 2K leads to a certain game soundtrack vibe and character.

Theme for a film noir spy thriller set in 1980's East Germany.

This track heavily features the STS Serge Modular synthesizer.

Photonic - First Light

Some sounds that I programmed with my DSI Prophet '08 analog synthesizer. More sounds compared to the first upload. Totally unquantized, recorded while testing the sounds.

F5D - Prophet '08 Demo

It started perfect
Back when we could work it
All the little notes that you'd leave for me

A sunset holding
All our wiltin roses 
A painting flowing red of our legacy

You couldn’t love me
Didn’t know how to be
I was the fool for losing you

You couldn’t help me
Help myself
So I planted my feet back into that mess

And they say
I’ll know
When it’s time to let you go

They say
I’ll know
When it’s time to let you go

So let’s get married
Pull up the horse & carriage
Anachronistic luggage in the danger zone

So why oh why oh
We swimming in the Nile?
When nothin' makes us smile when we’re on our own?

You couldn’t love me
Didn’t know how to be
I was the fool
For losing you

You couldn’t help me
Help myself
So I stuck my feet back into that mess

And they say
You’ll know 
When it’s time to let me go

They say
You’ll know
When it’s time to let me go
Go

{solo}

And they say
We’ll know
When it’s time to let it go

And they say
We’ll know 
When it’s time to let it
It’s time to let it
It’s time to let it
It’s time to let it 
Go oh oh oh oh go oh oh
Let it Go oh oh oh oh go oh oh

This is a re upload as i did not like the way the mix sounded :P
This version is available for download and streaming on all streaming services! :]
Thank you all again for your support!

I've heard before that ideas aren't thought up by us but simply exist in the Ether and we tap into that field for inspiration. This song is based off of that idea. To be able to reach beyond the veil and manifest songs that have always been but just need to be collapsed into reality.

Photonic - Coming Home To Asgard

Ableton Live with a couple of va, analogs, fm, romplers and various hybrid synths via a MOTU 828 and of course vsts. Style includes all sorts of genres, I guess film and games is the theme. As long as it resonates in my head even if its sometimes only the gear talking. Anyway, thanks for listening.
