Martin The Herring Gull
The fastest seagull
Like a web-foot eagle
 
Hey 
Martin The Herring Gull
Martin The Herring Gull
Wake!

Yes?

Stop eating dog food 
We have a quest for you

I like dog food 
Why do a quest for you?

If you don't get this job filled
We’ll kick you out the gull guild

Well if you put it that way
I hope this job has good pay

And fly over the Eastwood highland 

It won't take you very long 
You're so very very strong 

And down to Denny island

We would love to come help too
But we have a lot to do

There you'll find a nasty bird
Who’s taken our Future Queen
Deep inside his wretched lair
Is the Princess Joleen

—-

Denny island!
   There's no coconuts 
Denny island!
   Nothing good for you
Denny island!
   No golden sand
Denny island!
   Just tons of puffin poo

Denny island
   I’m not so sure
Denny island 
   Is it worth the cost
Denny island 
   I’ll say I got lost

Martin! 
You WILL come back with Joleen!

And kill the Cormorant King!

Martin The Herring Gull - Part 1

As I think of my 14-year-old daughter, I go back to my own childhood. To my dusty, dimly lit room where I had a small synthesiser and an echo machine on some sort of an altar. I go back to my hopes and fears, my expectations, my goals, my beliefs and my love for music. Often too little time to make my own music because I couldn't stop listening to Bach, TD, Klaus Schulze, Jarre, Vangelis, Pink Floyd and Todd Rundgren.

I recognise so much in her. My beautiful 14-year-old daughter with all her hopes and fears and her love for music.

After finding out my boyfriend cheated on me, I take my silver Testarossa Spider for a late afternoon ride on Pacific Coast Hwy to clear my mind. Time to move on.

One Synth Challenge 188 entry by Seap, October 2024
Synth: SixTraq by Full Bucket Music

The year is 1981, and the disco is alive with the vibrant energy of Halloween night. The dance floor is a sea of costumes, from classic vampires and witches to the latest pop culture icons. The DJ, dressed as a futuristic robot, proudly showcases his brand new Roland TB-303, a synthesizer that promises to revolutionize the sound of the night. As he tweaks the knobs, the room fills with hypnotic, pulsating beats that make the crowd move in unison.

In the corner of the disco, an arcade machine stands as silent sentinel, its screen glowing with the sight of a yellow, cheese-like character being chased by ghosts. The game, a recent hit, draws a small crowd of enthusiasts eager to beat the high score. The clinking of quarters and the excited shouts of players blend seamlessly with the music, creating a symphony of sound that defines the era.

A group of friends take turns at the arcade machine, laughing and cheering each other on. Among them, a few are dressed as ghosts, their white sheets fluttering as they move. One person stands out in a bright yellow cheese costume, drawing amused glances and playful comments from the crowd. The DJ, noticing their enthusiasm, decides to mix in some of the game’s iconic sounds into his set, causing a ripple of nostalgia and excitement to spread through the crowd. 

As the night progresses, a girl dressed as a pink ghost finds herself dancing closer to the yellow cheese. Their laughter is infectious, and their eyes meet frequently, each glance lingering a little longer than the last. The chemistry between them is undeniable, as they move closer, their hands brushing and smiles widening. The music swells, and they lose themselves in the rhythm, feeling as if they are the only two people in the room. As the final song plays, they share a knowing smile, realizing that this magical Halloween night has brought them together in a way they never expected. With a promise to meet again, they part ways, each carrying the memory of this unforgettable night in their hearts.

"The full moon rises tonight. This place gives me chills and my hands are shaking, but I feel bold. Everything is prepared for our ritual... But it will be incomplete without you."  

Created with "SixTraq" virtual synthesizer. 43 instances used to create a track.

As an emulation it does have the character of a budget analog synth. It is capable of producing some thick unison basses and leads. It is also capable of creating complex percussion sounds from a single patch (the envelopes are not very flexible though). The polyphonic patches are not convincing enough, like a very primitive string machine or a "preset synthesizer" keyboard. It forced me to do a lot of double (quad) tracking, plus a weird "envelope stealing" thing, even if you have spare voices. The good thing is that CPU consumption is very low, as always with Full Bucket synths.
