A very cohesive track. All these nice mellow sounds work well.

the seemless playful timing changes are a masterstroke. this is high quality work.

pretty cover picture! Cute ambient music, too. Enjoyably playful, too.

The speed changes are really nice, but harmonically it really tumbles about a bit much for me. Sounds are very gentle and nice, too.

My favorite harmony changes are right here. Very nice!

Overall a really pretty and dreamy track with a few places that could use a little more love harmonically, but other than that: well done!

I like how you change the volume of the Synthlead on the left side, actually you do it with a lot of instruments throughout the track which gives the track a lot of movement without the need of rhythmninstruments. I also want to point out the Glissando-Lead at the End-Segment around the 4min mark. Well done!

DAW: Reaper 7
Synth: 12 x Dawesome Myth 1.5

Some of the fun experiments in this track:
* All effects in-synth. No mastering effects. LUFS low to minimize clipping.
* The track features 3 different main time signatures with some effort into seamless transitions.
* Melody / arp lines time warped with non-linear time-warping homebrew scrips (sinus and exponential time mapping).
* Multi-instrumental 1/8 echo delay. I.e. the delays are using different Myth instruments.
* Tempo is linearly changing between 90 and 135 BPM during most of the track.
* Sound design. Just random knob turning to taste, LFO stuff and effects.
* All EQs and reverbs are in-synth.
* Most volume mixing with MIDI velocity. (not 100% though).

Theme song to the sci-fi summer flick "The Myth of Time (2031)"
Oscar winner 2032 for best original soundtrack.

In a sprawling, dystopian future where the rich control the flow of time, Alex Kane, a hardened "Time Hunter," is hired to track down and eliminate rogue time manipulators—individuals who illegally alter the timeline for personal gain. Time is no longer a fixed constant; it has become a commodity, and those who possess the power to control it live like gods. When Alex is tasked with finding Evelyn Roarke, a mysterious woman who has reportedly discovered a way to break the time loop that has enslaved humanity, he uncovers a dangerous secret.

Evelyn, once a brilliant scientist, has become a fugitive after stealing the prototype for a device that could allow anyone to escape the corporate-controlled timeline. But her discovery comes with a chilling revelation: the timeline is not what it seems, and humanity’s history has been deliberately warped to maintain a cycle of oppression. As Alex dives deeper into the underworld of time manipulation, he begins to question his own past, unraveling memories that don’t seem to belong to him and discovering that his every decision may have already been made.

Haunted by visions of alternate realities, Alex must decide whether to follow his mission and kill Evelyn, or join her in her quest to shatter the myth of time itself. In a city where past, present, and future blur into a nightmarish kaleidoscope, The Myth of Time explores the boundaries of free will, memory, and the ultimate cost of controlling time.
