Composed and produced for the KVR One Synth Challenge 159, Surge XT.

26 instances of Surge, with all effects in the Surge patches. 

Cakewalk DAW processing:
- Gain on buses, for mixing.
- EQ on final bus: High pass, low pass, small bump at 3kHz.
No compression, etc.

**Surge Storm** is an exploration of sound design in physical instruments and sounds. These are all my own patches, some of which are included in Surge. Most of the physical instruments here mimic generation and body resonances researched from real instruments, driven by controllers for mechanical setup and playing actions. This gives me a dynamic instrument that responds in a variety of articulations and styles, without needing samples.

Here, I've used a few time signatures. It has a wide dynamic range and frequency coverage, so you'll get the most from ideal listening conditions. Unfortunately, the thunder sound has lost a lot of its character here in the lo-fi Soundcloud playback. The download will give you the best experience.

Comments and crits appreciated.

Leonard Bowman - no no no no no no no satellite

This is my track for OSC#159, made in Cakewalk by Bandlab using 20 instances of Surge XT (10/10 of my/factory presets) and the next effects: OTT, Verberate Basic 2, Flux Mini, SeeSaw, M/Ster Balance, Wider, Oril River, Satellite. And GMonoBass and Broadcast on the Master.

This synthesis of synthwave and musical arthouse was written as a long hypnotic jam, I played these variations over and over again and didn't notice how it got so long. But now, as they say, "You can't throw no one word out of the song!", so I'm ready for any comments on this and other reasons, anything that will help make the next track even better!)
