Welcome and well met! The chances that you will be granted eternal life, after listening to this creation, are pretty good!

This is my first ever "useable" eurorack modular patch i ever created and passed my hearing test (lol) for reaching its final state of going public - therefore being uploaded onto the cloud. 

I am down to synths, hell yes i do! I recently found, that there are some organic limitations in working only in a DAW with virtual instruments. I herded quite some synths and will definately use them in future tracks, but working analogue is quite different.

There is no preset to load, no ultimate variations or starting points, depending on the architecture and the signal flow, you have to fiddle and turn some knobs and sliders and really understand the basics and how all of these manipulations come together to create something audible.

Some stuff is pre-patched internally, especialy with semi-modular stuff, and for instance using something like the Behringer Crave or the Arturia Minibrute 2, this stuff can be manipulated and tweaked thanks to a additional patchbay with many ins and outs to plug some cables for some FUN.

I got this eurorack-case quite some time ago and it was just a matter of time that i will order my first module, and another one and yeah that other fancy one too, and gladly i did not turn mad (yet), because there are millions of possibilities and options to create your own really "unique" instrument with so much stuff being able to do with it, that someone really should boggle about it  more than twice, before loading tons of stuff into the shopping basket and put some heat on the credit card... hahaha.

After a nice weekend at the "parentsinlawplace" i ended up after quite some midi-to cv (control voltage) trial and error runs and decided i will just go for some really mindless fun before i hit bed.
What happened then was this 4 minute thing with me patching some stuff into the osiris wavetable oscillator module by modbap and what you hear in this drone-scape-ish osiris travel into the afterlife (and maybe back again?). It is the result of using 2 sliders and 5 knobs and getting a feel of actually going with the "flow" while discovering the sonic beauty of it.

This is the very first modular track i uploaded ever, just slightly tweaked in the DAW (added intro/outro filtersweep and delay and a general chorus to add some stereo mojo).

This is something completely different what most of you might expect here and there will be more. This is a lifetime progress and process, and I'd be happy to have you on this journey.

Truly your sonic servant,

Cmd. SF


PS: Some technical background -  for the freaks and interested people.
I did use two modulation sources which were provided by the self built DIY Dysphonia Synth - one LFO and a S&H (Sample and Hold), which were modulating the Osiris Wavetable. When you take a look onto a Wavetable, there is a X and a Y Axis. On the Osiris you can patch these with some external control-voltage (CV), so i tweaked and modulated a constant change with both the x and the y axis, as well changing the actual wavetable-position on the module itself. Additionally i changed the timbre knob to add some additional change in the tonality and character.

LIFT ME UP

Potrei sbagliarmi
Potrei ricordare male però 
Queste cose le ho già viste 
(le ho già viste) lo so 

Se non vado errato
Son passato varie volte qua
Una musica nota 
Mi suona sconosciuta 

Anche tu straniera del giorno
Amica della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

I miei occhi
Sfumature del cielo scrutano
È proprio vero o no 

La terra umida
Che tocco con le mie mani 
Ci sarà ci sarà domani 

Anche tu amica del giorno
Straniera della notte
Mi confondi coi tuoi mille volti
E il tuo profumo 

Sogno/realtà 
Come pagine di un libro
Letto per metà
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te 

Sogno/realtà 
Dimmi tu che differenza 
(che differenza) fa
Una parte di me
Ha bisogno (bisogno) di te

Sogno

A gentle Song

There's a girl in my neighborhood
She turns all the heads
She looks so good
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood.

There's an old man
Just up the street
Sometimes he's surly
Sometimes he's sweet
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

We don't have to be like
Best friends or lovers
We don't have to be
Like sisters or brothers
Ain't too hard to realize
To grasp or discover
We got nothing in this world
We got nothing in this world
If we don't have each other

Bunch of young kids
Playing on my grass
Obnoxious and loud
A pain in the ass
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is 
With all of you in it
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood

Now there's some people
I don't recognize
They're not from 'round here
I realize
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
I gotta stop 
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of you in it.

We gotta stop
Think for a minute
How much better this world is
With all of us in it
My neighborhood
In my neighborhood

In My Neighborhood

Dream Dancer

Experimental, meditative track, which presents the tones and echoes of the Universe  communicating with me.
I'm hoping You might hear a bit of it too, while listening to this track.

The Universe Whispers To Me ( Tones And Echos )

Lyrics

i know you see inside of me
unrequited
i won't deny it
you're haunting me in my dreams
in silent suffering. one-sided
loving you is costing me
and i have to hide it

return to sender
give my love back to me
return to sender
give my love back to me

return to sender
i don't' give up
i don't surrender

return back to sender
bring my love back to me


it's up to you
this craving, this waiting
i don't know what to do
i don't know what to do
i have to hide
i know it's just a dream
but if you could send my love back to me
return to sender
bring my love back to me

oooooooooohhhh oooooooooohhhh
oooooooooohhhh oooooooooohhhh

don't you need me?!

return to sender, give back my love
give my love back to me!

return to sender
give back your love!!!


oooooo
i get no sleep in the lonely nights.
i toss and turn, keep on the lights.
everyone says i should takes those meds.
but i know what keeps me up instead.
your love....

it's up to you
i don't know what to do

it's up to you
i don't know what to do
it's up to you

this waiting  is killing me!
have to hide it. always wondering.
how it could it be, how could it be?
if my love was returned
to me?


to me! oh to me!  oooohhh to me, oooohhhhhhh


return to sender  (to me)
i don't give up
i don't surrender  (ohh to me)
return to sender, give my love back to me
return  (to me)
return
return

return to sender  
i don't give up
i don't surrender !

Return to Sender

Sk  Unrequited

Halfway between there and here, a thin surface floats on the hum of its own paradox. Neon mycelia pulse above-beneath the surface,
spelling out the names of all the selves you incinerated
to keep the illusion of sides and continuities alive.
What happens to an echo in a sealed space?
The ripples feed themselves. 

It learns that a mirror is not a mirror.
Reality insists on its brittle dichotomies—
subject/object, self/other, solid/void—
but the glass grins,
and the glass remembers:
THERE IS NO OTHER SIDE
THERE IS NO SIDE AT ALL.

Maybe when you touch the mirror,
it is the universe that reaches back,
finger to finger, and every atom in your body, a shard of borrowed light,
realigns at the speed of doubt,
As you look at your past through the veil of your configuration.

There are no mirrors.
Only doors wearing the masks of walls.
Now, look closer at the mirror.
The echo is someone else waiting in the silver,
holding a dagger made of every question you've ever swallowed.

What happens to ripples in a sealed space?
They become architecture.
They become a god that eats itself.

The face you wear is a 7th-dimensional hepteract,
folded and refolded by the hands of a god who forgot their name.
