This song was created in native Bespoke Synth 1.2.1 using square and sine wave signal generators along with various effects. There is a video to go with the song available at

The visualization is also from Bespoke and is the default lissajous curve that displays in the background.

The piano part was made in Sonic Pi and the synth progression was made in Bespoke Synth. Both are free tools. It is better if you listen in Spanish.

On the Other Lake

This was made in Bitwig 5.2.1, but also uses two VSTs: Cardinal and ExaktLite. In Cardinal the primary modules used are Zefiro by AlgoritmArte, Magnets by CV funk, Blossom by DHE modules, Macro Oscillator and Macro Oscillator 2 by Audible Instruments, It's Good Cholesterol by Biset, and PolyGnome by Bacon Music. In Bitwig I recorded to audio various changes over time in two different Cardinal tracks. Exaktlite is used for the improvised synth lead, mostly with the Dreampad preset but with a few changes.

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving project inspired by the playful spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation meets the unexpected, exploring the boundary between music and non-music to shape soundscapes that feel familiar yet foreign. Listen freely, explore deeply, and if you’d like to see these sounds come to life, stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining the journey! Your support helps keep this soundworld spinning. 🥰
