The way you've handled the alternate tuning throughout this is exquisite.

This is my favourite track of this OSC. One of the things I want, from OSC, is to learn and to be exposed to something new. I like the competent genre pieces just fine - there's a lot of genuinely talented people doing excellent OSC submissions in those areas - but I'm a grumpy so and so and really what I want to hear is something I've never heard before. That's why I love synths, that's why I play and programme and listen. Because there are, or there should be, new auditory worlds just around every corner. This piece is truly beautiful. It's not in the sound design, necessarily, or the mix, or the drums, or any of the other individual pieces, but it's in the whole effect when everything sits together, and it's in the soul of the piece, the driving intelligence and feeling behind the piece, the way it's more than the sum of it's parts. It was genuinely a pleasure to hear, an unexpected precious gift from a stranger. Thank you for making it and sharing it.

Glad someone else from the XA server finally joined one of these :) I feel like i need to listen a couple more times to really get a feel for what's going on here, which is usually a decent sign

Also, congrats on choosing a more bold tuning than i've ever done with OSC - usually in the rush to finish i end up in a fairly "normal" meantone

My ear is pretty poorly developed tonally, and I think that makes microtonal tracks especially hard for me to wrap my head around. Notwithstanding my poor ear, it's interesting, and I can tell the sounds are well-designed.

Really fascinating track - congratulations.... thought provoking and also emotional (in some weird way I don't fully understand).

excellent experimentation and use of different tuning. really good to hear, and as other's say - provocative, in a good way.

I'm liking this track even more, the off kilterness is very Waitsian, like on Black Rider and others of his...

I missed this during the OSC, super glad I stumbled on it now. Great stuff, there's not enough microtonal music in the western world, and I love it!

JAhim KRT - One Love, One Synth, One Contest (Surge XT)

In these rare moments where the air is light
It's easier to breathe the oxygen
And though my eyes are waning in the night
The clearness of my mind is mine again.

When I gaze upon your gemstone orbs
I see the riches of the universe;
Your fingers and their feathered touch transports
My soul to realms that rise above the earth.

Yet despite this call to greater majesty,
And though my heart does soar on eagles' wings,
I am yet grounded in simplicity;
My joy is built upon the smallest things

You make me laugh and smile and cry and sing;
My heart is filled with all these smallest things.

And somehow unbeknownst to me,
It is through these I touch infinity.

A Relic From The Past (OSC#181 - Surge XT)

Home of Synthophones that ran out of luck. Or are about too. Life is hard, getting chased around by voracious phonovores. But whenever possible, it´s always good to get together and hoot a bit. Well...over there, it´s called music.
