One of the top tracks for this month IMO. Well done!

Oh yeah, this groove has got it going on.

Yeah, loads of details in this - too many to pick out individually.

ooh i don't like these trap hats! (sorry)

however i did enjoy the rest of the song :)

Love the intro and love the artwork. How did you make it/where did it come from (if you don't me asking)?

OSC 155: Any One Synth

I used Europa which is a synthesizer in Reason 12. It was great to get to know Europa although its basic sound didn't grab me initially. The architecture of the synth compensated for this as it is very well thought out with its easy to use modulation matrix. Europa grew on me though. Great synth!

For this track I only used the basic analog oscillators and the Karplus Strong physical modelling unit. No samples or wave tables of course. No additional mastering done. 

Instances: 18 instances of Europa

DAW: Reason 12 from www.reasonstudios.com

Most delays, phasers, chorus, saturation and reverbs have been programmed in Europa's own FX section.

Reason additional FX: compressor, EQ, reverb.

3rd party FX: Valhalla reverb for the atmospheric pads and Waves Abbey Road Studios Redd.37 on the master output.

KVR OSC #156 entry using only Synister: https://the-synister.github.io

Sinister Naps Snaps Synapses
Perhaps Like The Gaps On Maps Span Climaxes
Dreamless Downcast Eyelashes Outclasses 
All External Phenomena That Perpetually Elapses 

The Mood Finally Relapses 
Into Praxis, With All-Access
To The Feelings That Only Relaxes

While Inner Light Enhances And Advances 
Beyond Molecular Clouds And Solar Gases.
To The Point That The Ashes From These Light Flashes 
Even Surpasses The Sum Total Of All Atomic Masses

Entering The Eight Absorbtions Sweeter Than Molasses
Where The Kings Of Desire Never Lashes Nor Harasses
Stuck In Their Own Ignoble And Delusional Clashes

Leaving The Realms Of The Bashless
The Truly Rich Always Remain Cashless

Yadrichik Chaya - Beyond Molecular Clouds

Minimal Viable Product (MVP) is a development and commercialization practice in which a new concept is introduced to the market with basic features. The intention is to maximize the amount of learning, in order to assess product fertility, while minimizing the amount of resource investment.

The general template of an MVP consists of listing the key characteristics of the product that customers will deem essential, usually in the form of questions. These are then coupled with elements that can be designed and manufactured within aggressive time and cost guardrails. Subsequent iterations of the MVP render an offering of increasing maturity, ideally and hopefully, before it transforms the market for which it’s targeted.

Suss Müsik took an MVP approach to this week’s Junto project. The primary questions regarding viability might be interpreted as: to what extent do acoustic and electric guitar fragments, when pressurized under certain constraints, no longer render themselves as inherently musical? At what point do these fragments cease to offer acousmatic value to the listener? And to what extent would an audience be willing to subject themselves to that experience? 

The responses to these inquiries, as with all instances of MVP concept testing, are subject to input from a respective target audience. In this case, that audience is you. 

The piece is titled MVP v.1 and was recorded live to 8-track in February 2022. The image is a schematic overlay of an actual instrument prototype.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.

One Synth Challenge 156

Waiting for the summer (OSC 156)

"Digital Vacation" is a sun-soaked escape into a pixel-perfect paradise. Each track blends warm, nostalgic tones with modern electronic textures, capturing the feeling of slow days, neon sunsets, and memories stored in the cloud. From dreamy beaches to retro-futuristic city nights, this collection drifts between reality and simulation — a soundtrack for relaxing, unwinding, and getting lost in a world that feels both familiar and unreal.
