I agree with @doctorbob, this section was a nice payoff.  I appreciate the coherence and approachability of this piece, high-concept stuff often doesn't work as well as this.

Oh dear. Well, it sets up a really nice late 70's synth vibe (Jarre), but there are a number of so-called "blue notes" that jolt me out of it quite a bit. Try to work out scales, what notes are friendly to your chosen harmonies and things will look up from there a lot. You have the chops and creativity, really.

The leads feel somewhat stilted rythmically. I don't mind the dissonance, though.

An interesting piece of electronica. It got some vibes of JMJ. Regarding composition, combining three themes in the whole is good idea, but I feel that the first one is less connected to other ones. They feels like a parts fro two different sections of an album, not a whole progressin. Btw, it is not a bad thing to do a long track. I saw a very decent electronica entries in the past that was about ten minutes long. The instruments are quite good, but I think they still need more work. And I really miss the percussin in the third theme, it would support the driving and engaging feel of it. Anyway, GL!

For mood this is fantastic, but I think the execution could have been a little smoother as others mentioned.  Great job still!

i think you have done a fantastic job with the sound design and combinations, the atmospheres are very striking.

I'm finding this really interesting trying to decide if I agree about some of the notes not working too well. It's like I can choose to just let it be and enjoy it as it is, or I can focus and notice 'problems' too... all very interesting and subjective I think :)

My entry for the KVR OSC 167 
Using the SunVox DAW & Modula Synth

As Zara and her compatriots investigate the anomaly, they discover a hidden world of secrets and lies. They also uncover an alarming truth about the anomaly itself: it is not just a random occurrence, but a deliberate attempt by a powerful entity to alter the very fabric of reality.

The Utopia Anomaly

Made with one instance of Alchemy in Logic, played live for OSC 167. Tried to reproduce the sound i remember playing recitals as a kid in a large hall that was rented out at the time. I used a compressor to ensure no peaks and a channel eq with a gentle shelving cut to remove some low-end flutter I couldn't figure out how to tame with synthesis or Alchemy's built-in EQ. No other plugins. Fun synthesis challenge, combined with a compositional challenge.

Alchemist Waltz

For this track I used 17 instances of Subtractor which was the first and only synthesizer in Reason 1.0 back in 2001. 

For reverb and delay I used Reason's DDL-1 and RV7000. For creamy long reverbs I used a free plugin by Airwindows named Galactic 64. On the masterbus I used Channev by Analog Obsession which is a free mastering plugin.

GLENZO - KVASS (квас) - OSC #168 - VOLTAGE MODULAR NUCLEUS

Here is my track High Voltage a single instance tack wholly made in Voltage modular Synthesizer from Cherry Audio. It is a brutally industrial techno-styled track and I am amazed at how well it came out given the limitations of 1 instance and the limited modules available.

High Voltage

Created for KVR's One Synth Challenge #168. A very messy, unmixed, unedited rush job of a tune. Perhaps one day I'll stop waiting til the last minute.

Vestige (OSC 168)

This is what David Attenborough would sound like when he's discussing microplastics with his dolphin translator at the Assembly of Southern Right Whales, and an orca keeps interrupting.

Entry for the 169th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge, using the free Kilohearts synth kHs One. Usually only free effects are allowed but we were allowed to use other Kilohearts effects so I've made use of SnapHeap and Multipass.

Whale kHsong - OSC-169

Created with Xavier Kalensky's SE PolyMod - a lovely retro-style synth.

Dedicated to Japanese anime in the 1980s and poor Ariana's tattoos, I guess - both of which I know very little about.
