Wanted to wrap my head around Charlatan3 (http://blaukraut.info/) and took the KVR One Synth Challenge as occasion to do so. Sticking to the Demoscene tradition, this jam's recorded using 10 plugin instances, without further additives.

Edit: Thank you very much for your comments! You can find a little bank of 20 patches for Charlatan3 here: https://files.abraum.de/f/5528efa880f54a33babc/?dl=1

I mean, you kind of have to wonder what they're thinking. "Yeah, that's it. Violently quash pro-Palestine protests at universities, ban TikTok to ensure the suppression of pro-Palestine content, and saturate the boomer media with obvious propaganda. That'll make the kids love Israel."

"On this planet we discovered an abandoned underwater settlement, probably built by an advanced alien race. We established a research facility called "New Atlantis" where we will continue our further exploration. We don't know exactly why those species left the planet or what made them disappear, but their technology could be valuable for Humanity. And there is more. Some of our crew members frequently report strange activity. People are talking about the feeling of being observed or followed by an entity that suddenly disappears. This could be due to stress, but... We don't know for sure what to expect in this world..."

Created with "Charlatan 3" virtual synthesizer. 31 instances used to create a track.

I used some of the factory presets and a few sounds designed from scratch.

Glennie wants a 303

So let me get this straight. The US wound up building its "floating pier" a few miles off the coast of Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid, but nobody will be able to ship the aid directly to the pier to get it to Gaza. Instead, the aid will be delivered to Cyprus via air or sea, and then from Cyprus the aid will be shipped 200 miles to the pier. From there the pallets of aid will be loaded onto smaller US army boats, which will then carry the aid from the pier to a long causeway on Gaza's actual coast. Those pallets will then be carried from the boats to the shore via the causeway - possibly by British troops or possibly by Israeli troops depending on what source you're reading - and taken into Gaza by IDF troops after careful examination and approval of their contents. All to deliver some 90 to 150 truckloads worth of aid per day, which is far short of the 500 truckloads the UN says Gaza needs.

And this is all being done because Israel isn't simply letting people drive an adequate amount of aid through the custom-built gates directly into Gaza. Since Washington doesn't want to exert any pressure on Israel to allow such a self-evident move, this immensely complicated and expensive dance is being performed to deliver a pathetically inadequate amount of aid instead. Aid that is only necessary because Israel has been destroying Gaza in its genocidal bombing campaign which it has been carrying out with total impunity.

Cool. Very normal and cool.

The Bizarre Gymnastics Of The Gaza Aid Pier

Israel is the only issue where the western political-media class treats people's feelings as a matter of supreme importance.
If you're a stressed-out single parent struggling to pay bills and keep a roof over your kids' head, they don't care about your feelings.
If you're an American who's been cast into destitution and homelessness by medical bills, they don't care about your feelings.
If you're a Palestinian whose apartment complex was bombed with your entire family inside, they definitely don't care about your feelings.
But if you're a western Zionist who doesn't like the cognitive dissonance that comes with encountering anti-genocide protesters, or even if you're an Israeli who's upset about anti-genocide protests in whole other country on the other side of the planet, they're very, very interested in your feelings.

Israel's Defenders Talk So Much About Feelings Because They Can't Talk About Facts

I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I love Hamas or hate Jews or love Islam or hate America.
I don't oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm a lefty or a commie or an anarchist or an anti-imperialist.
I oppose the butchery in Gaza because I'm not a fucking psychopath.
