Oh love the change there. Bouncy bass melody

These are the underdog tracks of 2024 that for whatever reason did not get as much attention as they deserved. This is a chance for people to again discover some unearthed gems of sonic bliss.

Gems of 2024

The track "Magnetized Lens" is an acid house instrumental mix. It starts with a lead synth and an epic hook synth for texture, both with automated fading. The synth harmonizes with the UAD Polymax synth horn and eventually transitions joined by a big room after-party electronic drum kit. The middle part of the mix features an electrifying dance beat with various TB-3 acids and synclavier sub-bass. These were all sent through bus processing before the final master bus. My intention with this composition was to journey the listener in their mind through cosmic light as if bouncing from one "Magnetized Lens" to another.

Traveling

A common term related to investing can also apply to various aspects of life. The fear of missing out, driven by others' participation, can lead to negative outcomes. This track was started about a month ago using Model 84 and 77 Softube synthesizers, along with a Juno emulation. I incorporated guitars similar to those used in "Endless Summer Daze" and "Unrealized Future," and it features a synth bass Arturia preset called "Pet Shop Boys."

FOMO 

They all wait in line for the money machine 
Caught in an avalanche of emotion 
Don’t wanna rain on your parade

Fear of missing out
Now you’ve jumped into the
shark tank
You thought you’d join in too late 
Now the bank has taken it all away 
 
So you found what your hoping to emulate 
Everyone’s winning and you wanna 
partake in it

Fear of missing out
Now you’ve jumped into the
shark tank
You thought you’d join in too late 
Now the bank has taken it all away

Vedran - The Infinite Loop 2025

I completed this track last May. Although I hadn’t felt like sharing it, I thought it was important to include it in the tracks I’ve finished this year. It’s an unusual track to me because it evokes a sense of hiding from the spotlight. It mentions superheroes battling villains and captures a unique intensity. I’m not sure how this peculiar track will be received, but it does seem to have a strong emotional impact, even if it’s not as upbeat as some of my more recent tracks. I also created a music video for it with some interesting imagery which briefly shared and again now:

Hiding out from the Spotlight 
Go from street to street  
Corner to corner 
Aisle to aisle all before the escape 
Scurry down the hillside 
trailing meadow disguise my cape
One time I found my bearings 
Won’t be long until the return 

Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Where is the spotlight
Find my way over 
Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Why are the answers
Always 
in front of me 

One can bring one can try 

Gliding out with super powers
Now this ancient city trusts me 
Battle to battle 
Counting the hours
Waiting to save the day 
All the villians running for cover
They all fail to make their run
They all never had no fun and 
can’t take ours away
If I can’t make this journey
What will be left to return 

Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Where is the spotlight
Find my way over 
Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Why are the answers
Always 
in front of me 


Hiding out - from the spotlight beams 
See them silhouette the dark sky
through the mountains they make pathways
Looking for one they’ll just have to wait 
until the return  
Hiding out - battling villains with steel
Save the city from being burned

Spotlight

This track was one of the last holdouts from April that I hadn't shared yet. Originally titled "Acid Rain (the Good Kind)," the music has always resonated with me, though the title never quite fit. I even uploaded a live studio jam of it, combining the track with Arturia and a Roland MC-101:

At that time, I was deeply exploring Arturia Acid V emulations, but I feel this piece leans more toward electro-funk dance than acid. It certainly had the potential to be on my "Pantheon Escape" album, but for some reason, it didn't make the final cut. I attribute that to being in the midst of a move and taking a critical look at my life and musical journey. Hence the new title, "Salient Reflections."

When I listen back to the creation of this jam, its best traits are the production, bass melody, and the rocking solo at the end, similar to the one found in "Sea vs Sky."

TITLE: IT'S NOT LOVE; IT'S SOMETHING ELSE
_______________________________________________________


LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
You call me late when the moon is on fire
Your words are sweet, but they’re laced with wire
You hold me close, but your hands let go
Is this the spark or a shadow show

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A halfway house where the heart rebels
You keep me near but not too tight
A situationship dressed up in light

(Verse 2)
You text me back but your words are thin
A hollow laugh when the truth kicks in
You want the thrill but not the fall
This isn’t a bridge it’s a paper wall

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A carousel with no stories to tell
You spin me round but don’t hold my gaze
A situationship lost in the haze

(Bridge)
Where’s the line between want and need
Between a game and a love that bleeds
Your lips say stay but your heart says go
Am I the lead or just your cameo

(Chorus)
It’s not love it’s something else
A borrowed dream where the echoes dwell
You light the match, but you fear the flame
A situationship playing love’s name
