Not as interested this time as much in critical feedback. (Edit: oh go ahead and be critical if you like). I realize it's a bit repetitive. Simplistic bassline. Not even any drum fills. But I really like it as is. A lot. The harmonica sounded like it was saying "down the river". From there I started thinking of a river on fire that was sort of like the infinite corridor in the castlevania tv series on netflix. I might try to find a more representative picture. (Originally uploaded on 5/7/23. On 5/9/23 I went back and changed the high pass on bass and kick from 50hz down to 25 hz or so. And made drums a bit more coherent in general.)

"Life in a futuristic mega-city turned out to be not so pleasant. Living in an over populated human hive, spending all of your spare time getting to your stupid day job, having to deal with bureaucracy and corrupt administration, being constantly stressed out. Not to mention a hot conflict zone nearby. Seeing military ships flying above your head became normal at some point. All of this, just like it was hundreds years ago. Nothing has changed. At least you can enjoy unearthly colors outside the window while having a mug of synthetic beer in the nearest barroom".

Submission for One Synth Challenge 171 featuring "Apricot" from Nakst.

Another synthwave track with my usual style. The synth itself is nice and seamlessly integrates with my FL Studio. The additions of internal samples and effects were handy for creating sounds. However there are some aspects that could be improved. The biggest disappointment to me was audio rate LFO modulation, especially with sample & hold mode. I cannot explain it correctly but it simply doesn't sound right. Other than that, this instrument would be useful for learning the basics of synthesis.

36 instances of Apricot used to create a track.

My entry for the KVR forum's One Synth Challenge #171

This time all the sounds are made using Apricot by nakst. BTW it's a CLAP plugin! And to be able to use it I had to try Bitwig Studio for the first time. If you are nerdy enough, here's the technical details about this track:

As always, finished OSC pieces are free for download.

Crackers And Apricot Jam

High Voltage

Ambient

So lately i've been binging a few playlists: one is a deep house playlist and the other is a playlist that includes acts like The Midnight, which have blown me away. This track combines elements of house, deep house, and synthwave and includes both a brief breakdown and a very brief drop. 

Late Hour Calling

I make noise which mostly resembles music.
