Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 24th May: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch407

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud GO tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks that have been previously submitted and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

Here is the legend of Shadhavar:

In the desert 
On the dunes
A Monoceros


Few have glimpsed him
Oh they hear him 
His song shows
your destiny 

 Divine spirit, protector of the land
Melody drifts calmly on the wind
some men, can’t quite comprehend

His tune,  not for all the same
Plays songs of love or songs of pain
tells a future of loss or gain.

Shadhavar Shadhavar Shadhavar

I will reveal your determination
Can you accept your own causation?

My horn umasks your fate
My melody is your destiny

Sultan comes to hear his tune
Jumping out from behind a dune
expects to depart appeased

But the notes they portend a life 
Wrought with sorrow, and his reign shall end
 slay him, say the sultan to his men
 
Break the curse he has cast upon me!

(bump bump bump part)
The chase ensues…..

Dead of Night
Torches bright
Sharpened spears
Time to start running the sultan he nears

The desert shakes
Shadhavar breaks
For the place 
The Sultan won’t find him, he cannot be seen

The men the move fast 
Shadhavar gasps
can’t slow down
Tips of the spears begin to surround

And at last 
 within their grasp
Nearing collapse
Spears into the air they are cast

In an instant 
Swooping down
Come the eagles
Catch the spears

Sultans camels
turn against him
 save their god
So Shadhavar remains….

In the desert, 
on the dunes, 
The  spirit
rightful place reclaims

And the Sultan 
 trampled down
As was predicted
Left for vultures to feast

Only want to test a module. I dont use my modular like an instrument. Every track i reconfigure/repatch my modules.
The DOEPFER A-188-1D is a raw MN3005 BBD-analogdelay implementation. By setting the internal clock lower than 10kHz for long Delays the clock is audible. I used the breakout-jacks for filtering the delay with large Bandpass from XAOC Belgrad. Furthermore i use the Tallin for controlling Feedback. I use Math as envelope-Folower->joranalogue compare 2->inverted-Envelope for limiting the gain stage.
At the end I created a little track. enjoy :)
