Name: Top Of The Pantheon by Mark Antares in Gems of 2024
Duration: 4 min 5 s
Description: Floating on top of the pantheon on top of the clouds. Jumping weightless as if no gravity exists to hold you down. The sound of strings echo through the pantheon and the crystalline magic of the moment takes your soul to new heights.

That intro was amazing, about 4 different styles already😎👊

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.

Magnetized Lens

Floating on top of the pantheon on top of the clouds. Jumping weightless as if no gravity exists to hold you down. The sound of strings echo through the pantheon and the crystalline magic of the moment takes your soul to new heights.

Top Of The Pantheon

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

FOMO

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."

Salient Reflections

Esta canción está basada en un riff de bajo que hizo mi hijo Adrián. En principio su destino era la banda que teníamos "Eléctrica Azul" y se ensayó pero no llego a generarse completamente. La retomé y compuse toda la instrumental. En cuanto a las voces, éstas son samples de uso gratuito que he generado para que se acoplaran bien al tempo y melodía de la canción. 
Para las guitarras he usado mi Duesenberg Palomo Red Sparkle.
Resto de instumentos con plugins. 
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.
Masterizado con Izotope Ozone 11 Standard.
Gracias por escuchar.

In English:
This song is based on a bass riff my son Adrián wrote. It was originally intended for our band, "Eléctrica Azul," and it was rehearsed but never fully produced. I reworked it and composed the entire instrumental. As for the vocals, these are free samples I generated to fit the song's tempo and melody.
For the guitars, I used my Duesenberg Paloma Red Sparkle.
The rest of the instruments are plugins.
Daw: Cubase 14 Pro.

Thanks for listening.

lyrics
and this day was cold and long
I waited out ..all for you to say.....

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..
Im still alive..I want to fight...

the night was young, I walked alone
I waited for you to go
..and the dawn came, you walked again into the solid
rain

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..But
Im  alive..and I want to fight...

..so say those words again..I failed goodbye!
tell me..that you tried to come back again.. Im still 
alive....

I tried to say goodbye but
I failed again..I walked back
..and I tried to say goodbye..
Im still alive..I want you to find..

and this night its yours i want to say
goodbye again..

[Intro]
By the wings of Garuda’s power!
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power!  — Devour!!!

[Verse 1]
Steel claws shred the sky,
One strike, empires fall and die.
Storm rider, conqueror unmatched,
Skyborne legend, fate unlatched.
Champion of ruin, fearless and proud,
Garuda’s roar shakes the clouds.

[Pre-Chorus]
No foe can stand before this might,
Crowned in victory’s endless light.

[Chorus]
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!
Shattered worlds bow beneath his reign.
Strength forged in fire, victory claimed,
His name alone commands the flame.

[Verse 2]
Carved in chaos, born in war,
Garuda’s legacy roars evermore.
Flight of thunder, shadow and flame,
Every battle speaks his name.
Unbroken, undefeated, ruler supreme,
Master of realms, nightmare and dream.

[Pre-Chorus]
Steel and storm obey his hand,
Force of nature, unbound command.

[Chorus]
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!
Kings and tyrants crumble and fall.
Endless conquest, unyielding fight,
Garuda’s might is death’s own light.

[Bridge]
Monolith of pride, eternal crusade,
Through blood and fire, legends are made.
No chains contain this sovereign force,
Garuda’s path, the warrior’s course.

(Heavy electronic breakdown with chants)
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!
By the wings of the invincible Lord Garuda’s power!

[Chorus]
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!
Raze the night, claim the throne,
Unmatched, unbroken, never alone.

By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!
Courage born of endless fight,
The sky bends to his endless might.

[Outro]
By the wings of invincible Lord Garuda’s power! — Devour!!!

Let It Burn -with James Kevin

Aurion
Aurion was born out of a reversed creative process – instead of building the foundation first, I let my random plonks take the lead. Five unique voices intertwine and rise together toward the end, like a phenomenon of light breaking through the dark.

It is both raw and unrefined, a piece where mechanical energy collides with dreamlike warmth – a hymn to the movement between chaos and harmony. Aurion became a pure release for my recent hectic days. When I finally found a quiet moment for myself this morning, it felt only natural to let it be released in its rawest form.
