Wonderfully strange!  Like a return to the Forbidden Planet!  Not background music - I have to really involve myself to enjoy it.  But if i do - I do!  So expressive!  Nice work.

A most intriguing track, this. Very well done, I think. I liked how the sounds interact with each other. The introduction of the one chord and subsequent hesitant tonality felt like a really nice way to go too.

Excellent dark cinematic piece. Great use of the full Eq spectrum, stereo width, and open space. Very weighty and open at the same time.

Love this wasteland scape- after a devastating battle.

This is very nice - I recall having lots of trouble getting useful sounds with Myth, so I'm impressed.  Nice dark vibe to the composition, too.  Kind of creepy.

The big chord was awesome.  I feel like it could have stayed a little more thematic or something after that rather than dropping down so far.

Mixture of factory presets, tweaked presets, and made from init.

Oppressively Humid Swamp Ambient

The Pipers From The North
By Seap for One Synth Challenge 198, August 2025

Single synth of choice: Kult (Dawesome)

Each autumn, when the heather turned purple on the hills, the bagpipers came down from the highlands. At first, the village children heard only a faint drone, like the earth humming underfoot. They would freeze in their games, eyes wide, and scramble up into the oak trees to see better.

The sound grew, weaving and swelling, until it filled the valley like a storm of music—low drones rolling like thunder, sharp notes flashing like lightning. By the time the pipers emerged from the misted slopes, it was no longer a handful of men but an orchestra carried on the wind itself.

The villagers gathered in silence, listening. Year after year, the same mystery unfolded: a reminder that the mountains still breathed, and that the world above the clouds sent down its song to be heard.

The Lure (by phankiejankie303)

This song has been sequenced Using my Synthstrom Audible Deluge groovebox for the OSC#198 challenge. Every sound has been made from init with the synth engine of this device. I then imported the stems and recorded additionnal deluge synth sounds using Bitwig. Hope you enjoy!
