I like that it doesn't sound overly quantisized.

track feels like walking into a scifi pub with dark alien figures lol

The rhythm sounds are interesting. Piece could use some melodic development, imho. :)

Interesting progression of percussion sounds, and growling undertones!

I like the start of this -- that snare sound is kinda loud and I would love to hear the growly bass more front and center (or louder).

That snare sound is great - too loud, too, though.  I like how you're using lots of single voice sounds -- speaking to Monique's design.

Between the middle of nowhere,
and the edge of nothing,
the Gnomes of Garden still dream.
Of worlds between root and leaves,
between focus and distraction,
between you and me.

ReelWorld One AC Core Update - October 2023

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 the KVR forum's One Synth Challenge #141. 

Something dark, fast and percussion driven. As you can tell, I'm really proud of that backward kick drum in the accented parts :D

This time all the sounds are made using Monique by Monoplugs. BTW it's a free vst now! I really liked one of the factory patches. After I was playing with it for a while I decided to focus mainly on creating my own percussion set and then building composition around that.  If you are nerdy enough, here's the technical details about this track:
