So does the vowel lead !  Very well done indeed. I think it's a very good track – much enjoyed :)

And the vocal harmony too! Very nice track.

Very good track. I like the sounds a lot.

The texture of this is really nice -- kind of different - very smooth considering the chords are kind of jagged rhythm-wise.

Really impressive lead sound -- using Surge capabilities that make it a unique synth +1.

I really liked this - especially the vocally stuff -- I found it really hard to tame the phonic stuff in Surge so very impressive!

Maybe not a perfect track it is still very good and the good use of the vocals brings up the score for me nice work

Journey Matters

Journey Matters ["one synth challenge" edit - Surge XT]

In fields of freedom, wild and bright,
A spirit danced with untamed light.
But wires wove 'round her limbs so tight,
And screens replaced her starry flight.

The TV hummed its hypnotic song,
Violence echoed, shadows long.
Her wings grew heavy, once so strong,
Till free spirit's flame was finally gone...

All instruments and voices have been designed in Surge XT without any use of samples. Happy 15th anniversary to OSC!

Low And Be Whole

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.
