Name: Confrensic by Postulous in One Synth Challenge #199: RipplerX
Duration: 3 min 38 s
Description: This is my submission for the One Synth Challenge by KVR for the month of September. The track was made with 13 instances of RipplerX and stock Ableton Live plugins.

A beautiful and relaxing track that works well even without the tablet from the cover, hehe.

lovely melodies. A sense of tranquility. Very enjoyable.

To me it sounds both like a tutorial music and an expression of how you might feel after taking the pill. Great idea!

So peaceful. Reminds me a bit of Tycho. A lovely symphony of plucked and strummed instruments.

I like these woodblocky-type sounds in the intro~

I'm trying to think of what makes me uneasy as I keep listening to it and I think I know what it is. It reminds me of someone, who'd be prescribed anti-depressants only to actually end up having to avoid bridges, brrrr... 🥶 ...it's the meandering mental dabble around meaninglessness. As if there was no expectation left to find anything and just sort of accepting a delightful defeat of some kind.

Well, it does feel altogether like a relaxed afternoon, going through what could be Rippler's presets with a few experimental additions. Mix could use a bit of freshening up to suggest some more clarity and a little wider spectrum. There's beauty inside of this, but it could use some more freedom to come out properly, I think. Still, you're a musician and one can feel that. Looking forward to more passion from you!

A wonderful warm slowness to this.  I feel so safe.

Calm, Relaxing, Beautiful but somehow there is still something estranging hidden deeply inside.

Postulous is the electronic music brainchild of Ryan Knouf. His musical journey started in elementary school playing trumpet. It moved to teaching himself to play keyboards and MIDI sequencing in his teens, which led to playing guitar in rock bands, which then led to getting a degree in music theory, and finally discovering the modular synth In 2018. 
Postulous distills his life experiences and deep love of music into musical pieces that are, at times, cinematic, atmospheric, nostalgic, playful, aggressive, ambient, buoyant, haunting, mournful, and always thought-provoking, as is life.
