This is really beautifully layered swell of sound, so much texture! The secret ingredient might well be reverb :)

this little background noise is amazeballs

kick-ass arrangement and execution.  Bravo!

I like this bass part here at the end. Gives a lot of movement.

ambient with a purpose, like it's going somewhere. a nice balance of tension and calm.

Heist Planning

For OSC 161, made entirely with Synth1
28 instances + a few free FX in REAPER 6

I opened Synth1 a couple times when I was first learning that VSTs exist, but never really gave it any attention back then. It was really refreshing to explore it this month, having 4+ more years of experience with synths and production now.

The Lost Verdant Town

The Lost Verdant Town - V-Station OSC#162 (ChristopherWD)

Marimba Musings and Other Variations is a high-concept, genre-blending sonic feast. Each track is a theatrical ode to a culture, dish, or myth, centered around the marimba — a rhythmic narrator guiding listeners through whimsical, dramatic, and high-energy soundscapes. From the stately romance of Biscuit Marimba to the operatic grandeur of Wagner Marimba, the volcanic bounce of Tsunami Marimba, and the slapstick funk of Croissant Marimba, every piece fuses orchestral craft with absurdist charm and global flavor. Packed with Dolby-level production, Quincy Jones–style arrangements, and bursts of chantable magic, this collection is a genre unto itself.

Track 7 Marimba Echoes

Seaboards is the alter-ego beats project of Paul McNeill & Ross Buswell of Montane District. On this EP they steer things into some flowing deep house and drum & bass directions in their own way.
