Great track! I love the experimental sound of it, really well done

as usual, your sound design is super interesting :)

Love how this here twists en turns. All in all: great soundesign, clear mix and interesting music – a very good track !

I like how the main melody comes back in here - after all the tension.

This has really grown on me.  Unique sound.  Reminds me of creeping about in caves on an 8-bit video game.  Like Jet Set Willy.  Top marks!

Not as interested this time as much in critical feedback. (Edit: oh go ahead and be critical if you like). I realize it's a bit repetitive. Simplistic bassline. Not even any drum fills. But I really like it as is. A lot. The harmonica sounded like it was saying "down the river". From there I started thinking of a river on fire that was sort of like the infinite corridor in the castlevania tv series on netflix. I might try to find a more representative picture. (Originally uploaded on 5/7/23. On 5/9/23 I went back and changed the high pass on bass and kick from 50hz down to 25 hz or so. And made drums a bit more coherent in general.)

OSC171 Down Fire River (Apricot) 30/44 68%

This is my entry for the 171st edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge - this month every sound was made using Apricot, a free synth by nakst.

There are just 10 instances of the synth this time, and it's an experiment in timekeeping. Seven out of eight people can dance to this - are you one of them?

Made using Ableton Live 11, with no third party effects. Each track has an EQ8, Utility, Saturator (in clip mode) and Compressor. No returns. The master has EQ8, Compressor, Glue Compressor, Utility.
