Yo JC! This is really nice dude! I like the chords a lot. You've got a cool unique DnB style. Only one critique from me - I felt like the kick drum could use some more presence. Right now it's very low, and doesn't have much treble volume at all. This is a chilled out DnB track, so the kick doesn't have to be huge, but it'd be sweet if it was a little more punchy. A great example is in the song Still Grey, by Pendulum. Have a listen to the kick drum there. That song is kind of chilled out too, so the kick drum isn't super heavy, but it has the high frequencies I'm talking about. Other than that, sounds great bro!

Congratulations on placing 2nd in the 58th MTS Contest!

My small hardware based studio grows and the gear start to find their place. Bass from SE-02 this time and the Korg Minilogue XD Module is hooked up permanently now, for the lead this time. The SH-01a shines in the simple yet central arpeggio and polyphonic sequence department. Drums from TR-06s, not very elaborative but I'll get there. 707 is the best! Microfreak does the chorused saw keys. General reverb from Valhalla and compression from Waves. Can you spot the sampled sliced lo-fi voice?

In highschool I wanted a Roland JV-80 but could only afford a simpler Ensoniq workstation. Some decades later I am slowly being dragged towards romplers again, perhaps its the sound of now. So I bought a used JV-880, the rack version of said Roland flagship of 1991. It's neat, like a baby brother of JV-1080, and it has that Fairlight vox sample in its rom. Here is a ballade I wrote with mostly JV-880 sounds. Bass is from Waldorf Pulse 2, although this specific JV is known for and could easily bring as deep bass as an analog to the table.

Dont be fooled by the simple start, I promise it going to be more complex :P

The story section for part 9 is really long and I don't think it will fit here. It's on the bandcamp page as the album description, and it's also on my page with the full story to this point:

#10 will be the final section, and I'll probably release it in a couple of weeks. 

I've been mostly gone from online stuff for about 3 weeks. Work's been slammed and I've been struggling to keep on top, and my eyes are all twitchy and uncomfy when I try to look at screens any time after 5 pm. I hope all of you are well. Seems like things have been in a continual downward spiral, but there are rays of light here and there. 

Oh, while I'm here, a couple of interesting things I observed or learned recently, that may or may not be of interest to you:

1. There's a spider called the "ant spider" that looks and moves like an ant. It pretends its front legs are antenna, and it's kind of adorable. Also terrifying. Very fast. 

2. The black-capped chickadees went away from my back yard. My aunt said they had left her farm too. But then they came back. Or at least two of them did. I'm happy to see them. 

3. The hierarchical division seen in public school and in modern business derives at least partially from the Prussian Army?!

Alright, that's all I have. Stay safe, stay positive, and I'll be back to listen later.

The last final piece is in place for the Synthony track - Game Over. Nothing is left, absolute nothing.

EDIT: 2 nd place for the track in the 62nd MTS contest, and I am very happy!! :) Thank you MoreThanSkrillex.com !!
"Game Over, by jCoke, has an incredible orchestral feel to it. It starts off with some deep, dark melodies and are then quickly added in with some drums and other great sounds. It's a really amazing track to listen to, and contains so many surprises that add on to the other aspects of this song. Congratulations jCoke!"

This track was first created as an instrumental track. The samples came in when the song was almost finished. All samples were basically from the movie The Giant of Metropolis, and at a later stage samples came from the TV series Space 1999. Just when this track was almost finished, some samples were replaced with Greta Thuberg's speech she gave at the UN

Been working with this for a while, I couldnt get it where I wanted until now. Maybe some song sync issue with the song my remain.

Got an honourable mention in  MTS contest nr 68:
