That new melody almost sounded like a cockerel at first.

Amazing introduction - really grabbed my attention.

This is great after the dramatic first half.

Nice soundtrackish track - like FrankH mentioned below, with the first and second parts it takes you on a nice journey :)

really good orchestration, the "stormy" sounds makes everything a little blurred, but I guess that's what you wanted

There's stuff going on all over the place in here, and I'm really enjoying the challenge of trying to keep track of it all!

Excellent job bringing back the motif from the beginning. Perfect.

I'm getting Wendy Carlos/Brian Eno vibes a ton in this tune. A truly masterful work.

Everything including the kitchen sink in this one! Weird, but also fascinating.

KVR OSC197 Odin2
32 Instances of Reaper 7.3

ReaLimit, Valhalla SuperMassive, Raum,TDR Kotelnikov, ChowTapeModel,ReEQ, Deelay, LoudMax .... and added OTT to the piano. 

All sounds from init except the vocal pad is a tweaked factory patch. 

What does the title/pic mean? 
I have had many dreams throughout my life about finding hidden doors that lead to magical places. The picture is of a abandoned stairway in a house I lived in for a few years in college. Leads to the backside of a refrigerator. I had dreams about that house, that there were secret floors burrowed back into the hillside, etc. And at one point years later I couldn't remember if this abandoned stairway really was there or I just dreamed it.

Anyway making this triggered another of that type of dream.

One Synth Challenge #197:  Odin2 by TheWaveWarden

-------------------------------------------------------

This month was a real challenge!

When I looked at Odin, I came up with the idea of a true One (!) Synth Challenge – just a single instance, no excuses.
I dove deep into sound design and quickly realized: this would become a real borderline experience.

While endlessly tweaking, I kept discovering new sonic paths – sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating.
Odin could be pretty temperamental when dealing with MIDI, but in the end, I managed to shape something that feels raw, tense, and expressive.

So here it is: Grenzerfahrung (borderline experience) –
a track born from limitation, chaos, and way too many hours. ;)

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.

Nichts Halbes und Nichts Ganzes (OSC #197 - Odin2)

Final, remixed submission for OSC 197. Idea for this track was partially inspired by Carl Craig's "Home Entertainment" off of his classic Detroit techno album Landcruising, but then I decided to add drums and it became a very different beast. Hope y'all like it!
