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.

The Myth of Time [OSC189]

My Entry: "Centuries". Made of OSC 189

Style: Electronic Soundtrack Circa. With Pop, Classical and Drone
elements.

~8 instances of MYTH VST3 in EXT64 beta (see screenshot at KVR thread).
~1 custom sample imported in MYTH for 2 drums sounds.
~free VST effects:  RSS EQ302, EfektorGQ36, LoudMax64.

What about this MYTH synth? Surely it sounds good, but of the many
'mangling' resynthesis features some I found too grainy or useless, sounding to me
like many alternative types of harmonic distortions. Therefore too
expensive as CPU load for the actual results, those could be replaced
with focused external plug-in effects, in studio use.
What I liked most of MYTH is the easy adding of envelopes and
synced LFOs to modulate the parameters, very good.

---------------------------------------------------
The Awakening is a playful musical journey through the battle within—an exploration of self-doubt, fear, and the struggle to break free. It captures the voice inside that holds us back, the moments of uncertainty, and the eventual realization that the only true enemy is ourselves.

Narrative:
---------------------------------------------------
Krit was a small boy, often feeling like he didn’t quite fit in.
Despite his achievements, there was always a quiet voice telling him, 
"You don’t belong". 
He told himself it was normal, part of growing up. But it never went away. 
Then one night, he had a dream.

🌅 Act 1: The Dream
He ran through wide, golden fields, feeling light and free. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t have to think, everything just felt right.

🌑 Act 2: The Nightmare
Suddenly, the world grew still. The fields shrank, and a shadow appeared in front of him.
"You don’t belong."
The air thickened. He couldn’t move, and the doubt that always lingered felt overwhelming.
"You are nothing."

⚔️ Act 3: The Ascent
A shift. Krit started to move. Slowly at first, then faster. The shadow loomed, but he kept going. The doubt didn’t disappear, but it no longer held him back.

🌟 Act 4: The Awakening
He pushed forward, the weight lifting with each step. The shadow faded, and with it, the doubt.
Krit didn’t stop. He had awakened, and nothing would hold him back again.
---------------------------------------------------
I would like to thank Taron and The Sound Of Merlin for their valuable feedback and guidance in refining certain aspects of this song, truly grateful!
