Music, sound atmosphere go very well with the picture. Great music for on the road

Nice mix of sounds, and some nicely designed sounds.

For me, the journey is getting slightly repetitive at this point. You've got a nice set of sounds that would nicely support a section where you go in a different compositional direction.

The slighly distorted and detuned leads give some Stephan Bodzon vibes to me.

Agree with the others that the sounds are very nice but that some more variation would have made the song more interesting.

really like the atmosphere you made, especially the lead sound brings it together

For this OSC Any Synth Challenge, I chose the PS-3300, a beautiful software emulation of a late 1970s analogue polyphonic synthesizer from KORG. Cherry Audio developed this soft synth. Every sound you hear was created using the PS-3300. I tried to create an overall sound that matches the capabilities of a studio production in 1978. This is in honour of this beautiful synthesizer and its creators.

29 instances of PS-3300 by Cherry Audio 
Reverbs: Body &Soul by TSOM, VertiVerb by Audiority and VitaliumVerb
Delays: Deelay by Sixth Sample and Dual Delay X by UVI
EQ: Claro by Sonnox and Graphic EQ by Viator
Compression: FET-76 by Arturia
Enhancer: Type B by Audiothing
Mastering: Smart:Limiter and Smart:EQ4 by Sonible

Please note: I haven't used any distortion or saturation plugin to create the guitar tone. It's all been synthesized in PS-3300

Although OSC is currently celebrating its 200th anniversary, this track was created for the 198th challenge – a small tribute to the series that nevertheless captures the groove of the anniversary energy.

With 92 BPM, catchy harmonies, a concise bass hookline, and crisp kicks, FractiQ takes you straight to the dance floor. The melodic fractals weave together into a catchy tune that sticks in your mind.

Kevlar Testarossa

My Submission for August 2025 OSC. 7 Tracks, powered by FLStudio and Quilcomm's Trout. Maximus for loudness.

Based on various incarnations of the Trautonium - a Synth Design originating in the 1930's. I chose Trout because I've wanted to try my hand as something very old and very strange with the plugin. And oh my - it's strange.

Cover is AI generated this time - Colors and some things fixed/added afterwards. My blender skills aren't THAT good. 

Early synths defined some of the sounds and vibes that powered Science Fiction, so I went with something that evoked a dangerous and strange job in space. Enjoy!

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.
