Sunrise

My submission for KVR One Synth Challenge #177.  This track was recorded with 10 instances of Synful Orchestra (bass, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, 2 clarinets and bassoon) and 4 instances of Versilian Chamber Orchestra 2 (cymbal, hi-hat, kick, snare).

The track was recorded with Studio One 4.5.  I used the Fat Channel (EQ and compression), Room Reverb, and Limiter plugins that come with Studio One.

bburtin - KVR One Synth Challenge 177

An entry for the KVR One Synth Challenge #177 - Synful Orchestra & VSCO Percussion.

As the sun sets on the horizon, casting long shadows across the alien landscape, a lone figure sits cross-legged, silhouetted against the fiery sky. In his hands he holds his trusty bass guitar, its strings gleaming in the fading light.

Lieutenant Spaceman D. Bassman had been stranded on this planet for 7 months, his crashed spaceship was damaged beyond repair, but he hadn't given up hope of being rescued. Every day he would refill his oxygen tank and walk into the poppy fields at sunset to jam on some dubby grooves, his music echoing across the vast expanse.

As he plays, he feels a sense of peace wash over him. The sounds emanating from his instruments are an ethereal mix of orchestral timbres and heavy dub, infused not only with the smells, sights and sounds of the alien planet and his hopes for the future, but also mixed with the melancholy of longing for his home-world. Music is his last connection to humanity, his way of staying sane in the face of loneliness.

One day, as Bassman was jamming on a particularly bad-assed groove, he heard a faint sound inside his helmet. His heart beat faster with excitement; At last, the Corp had located his damaged ship and had come to rescue him! Then, almost imperceptibly at first, he started to make out a strange melody, not entirely inharmonic to his tasty bass licks.

Bassman was stung violently on the forehead. He flinched and almost dropped his guitar. "Feck!", he howled. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a bee crawling on the inside of his visor, it's wings implausibly buzzing in a near perfect B Major. Desperate not to be stung again, he flailed his head around inside the helmet, attempting to squash the musical intruder against the side. After many attempts and with great effort, he struck one blow, then another, and with each strike the bee's buzzing became more and more erratic and atonal. Sensing victory, and with a final yank of his head, Bassman dealt a fatal blow, and the bee was silenced. 

As the sun continued it's slow descent below the horizon, Bassman composed himself, picked up his bass and continued jamming. Tomorrow he would seek out more of these alien musical bees, not only in the hope that one day they could forgive him for killing one of their own kind, but also that they might continue the collaboration between their two species on some more of those sweet-assed tunes.

Fin.

My entry for KVR OSC #177.

Professor Bertrand Snook loved playing with his band on a sunny Sunday in the bandstand.  But the mighty starship Argenti was waiting patiently in the distance.  This would be the band's last song, and he let them play their hearts out.  Soon he would be on his way out of the system and towards the mysterious object he had been working towards for his whole academic career.  
But for now - play on!  The sun is shining and the starship can wait!

Entry for the 177th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge - with the synth this month being Synful, a symphony orchestra simulator, which is similar to physical modelling but not quite. Apparently it's "Reconstructive Phrase Modeling" - find out more here https://www.synful.com/about and here https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=603206

Professor Sir Gilbert Fortepiano had discovered a strange device in the deserts around London. The geiger counter showed some signs of life. He started taking notes - what could it be?

Final Placement: 5/32 (Top 5)
Made for KVR Audio's "One Synth Challenge" #177

This month, it was "SynfulOrchestra" by Synful; and "VSCO2 Percussion," recorded by Versilian Studios/Sam Gossner. These two plugins, as well as some raw approved samples used in the latter, were the only plugins(/samples) used across multiple instances. This month, in addition to the use of stock-effects and perpetually-free effects, free plugins could be used to break the normal rules, while commercial plugins were allowed and could be used to follow them.

Because of this rule-forgiveness, it was also requested that the use of these plugins be explained. Instead of wasting the space required to do so in this description, I have instead done so in this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X0a-u-xW2ewqLFM5_s7vW8pk0zEhk5rLwspcwQKPEQ4

Neu KatalYst - From The Marble [KVR OSC #177: SynfulOrchestra & VSCO2 Percussion] [DnB]

"There are so many wonders in the great wasteland. Treasures, mysterious artifacts and ancient ruins with valuable technology. But you should forget about that. Most of the time you'll meet some really nasty things like bandits who want your food and coins, a snake that suddenly kills your horse, or a corporate scum with their blaster robots shooting you from afar. There is no room for weakness in this world, but if you are capable enough, you will be rewarded. Keep on roaming and you'll find what you want!"

Written and performed on a single free synth (Synful Orchestra) for the monthly KVR One Synth Contest.

spridgeon - TheOld House

In a certain cave, I found myself among a population of cave frogs engaged in a local festival. On the promise that I would not reveal their location, they graciously allowed me to participate. I recorded what I could, but sadly the tape jammed.

This is my entry to One Synth Challenge 177. All sounds are produced with Synful Orchestra and VSCO2 Percussion. All rights reverbed.
