Description: A concept track 1 of a potential album for a film that's only in my head.

Great opening for a concept piece.  I look forward to seeing (hearing) what comes next.  Your sound choices are spot on and your production values are spotless, Chris

Not your usual kind of music but that is good that you walk along different paths in the music. Nice atmosphere and I love the pads.

Documenting the period of March 2020 through March 2021, through music. A year as turbulent as the revolutionary 60's, yet days blurred into weeks, into months... we were isolated, separated.  Those who would resurrect the ghosts of hatred, unleashed their personal demons. They haunt us still. It is a time we would rather forget, but it should never be forgotten, lest it happen again.

The finishing touch (I hope) to the (soon to be) album “Haunted,” Currently in my Playlists.

*Update* OK, maybe one more song... then I'm finished with this album!

Let Us Go Into The Fields

Continuing my journey below the surface, peeling back the layers, and finding more surprises.

This time, I dug so deep that I hit 1975.

Mile 0

Life moves along… until it does not. Structure falls apart… timing distorts and decays… messages out of tune with reality….  greed and contradiction rule the day as people slowly fade away… until all that remains is the ghost of reason.

The Ghost Of Reason

I dreamed I was flying
free as the sky
watching the world
tender wings passing by

All cares and small worries
soon fell to the ground
embracing the world
with a delicate sound

The sun soothed my spirit
and strengthened my soul
set free at last
I was finally whole

Then I woke with a feeling
that wouldn’t let go
with memory diminished
a fragment, a glow

Of freedom and flying
I looked to the ground
flapped my arms like a fool
made a devilish sound

I stopped, feeling foolish
life is not what it seems
you can reach for the clouds
but you must dare to dream

I Dreamed I Was Flying

A sing-along-a-human-song
Written for the Only Human community of synth players, machine programmers, creators and performers of Electronic Music, based in Chester and North Wales and a series of live gigs at the Storyhouse in Chester, for Modulate TV on YouTube and the Only Human Radio show, broadcasted by Circl8 Radio.

We Are Only Human

Lately, music of the mind makes for an unusual soundscape. Like music from a Silent Movie out of time, this is a film score of my days.  There are so many ups and downs, it has become a carnival ride. 

Hop on.

Strange Days

(English description: please scroll down)
Ein neuer @full-bucket: der Fury 800. Eine super Synth dessen Vorbild, der Korg Poly 800, perfekt emuliert wird (für meine Ohren). Gerade die beiden Synth-Modi, der Bucket- und poly 800 Modus, machen den Synth aus meiner Sicht einzigartig: 2 in 1 :)
Es war ebenfalls eine grossartige Ehre, als Beta-Tester und Preset-ersteller dieses mal mit dabei zu sein (Danke Björn :).

full bucket teilt den Synthesizer wieder einmal kostenlos mit allen (Spenden sind bei Björn herzlich willkommen), zu finden https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fury800.html. In den kommenden Tagen werde ich dort auch einige exklusive Presets zur Verfügung stehen.

Einige Highlights des Synth:
- 2 Modi: Bucket-Mode, Poly 800 Mode; die Unterschiee sind im Manual beschrieben
- 2 OSC, jeweils mit einer eigenen Hüllkurve
- 1 Noise Generator mit einer "gemischten" Wellenform für Noise/Filter
- LFO steht zur Verfügung, allerdings mit fester Wellenform
- 3 Voice modi: 8/4, 64 Stimmen und God-Mod
- sehr viele Schieberegler  zum schrauben ;)
- knackige Filter,
- super niedrige CPU-Auslastung (perfekt programmiert),
- Coole Erweiterungen von Björn,
- frei erhältlich.

Alle in diesem Stück verwendeten Klänge sind von mir von Grund auf erstellt worden. Die Presets finden sich unter
https://www.kvraudio.com/product/fury-800-by-full-bucket-music/downloads

Viel Spass beim reinhören und Kommentare sind, wie immer, herzlich willkommen:)

It was also a great honor to be a beta tester and preset creator this time (thanks Björn :).

full bucket is once again sharing the synthesizer with everyone for free (Björn welcomes donations), to be found at https://www.fullbucket.de/music/fury800.html. In the coming days I will also have some exclusive presets available there.

Some highlights of the synth:
- 2 modes: Bucket mode, Poly 800 mode; the differences are described in the manual
- 2 OSC, each with its own envelope
- 1 noise generator, with a "mixed" envelope for the Noise/Filter
- LFO is available, but with a fixed waveform
- 3 voice modes: 8/4, 64 voices and God-Mod
- a lot of sliders to screw;)
- crisp filters,
- super low CPU usage (perfectly programmed),
- Cool extensions from Björn,
- freely available.

All sounds used in this track have been created by me from the ground up. The presets can be found under
https://www.kvraudio.com/product/fury-800-by-full-bucket-music/downloads

Have fun listening and comments are, as always, very welcome :) description
