It sounds spontaneous, hypnotic and has no length despite its length. Great atmosphere!

And VERY classy EDM of a decidedly good natured sort. Excellent !

The textures in the intro are so well made!

I really like the Intro Part, it creates such a nice ambience and atmosphere, but i have to say Well done, the sound design is great, the mix – despite  the bass heavyness ( I like the ambient parts a bit better) – sounds still decent and the genre is well hit! [My favorite part btw is the end segment from 7:00 onward – I like how the rhythmic stabs work together with the rest of the instrumentalization :D]

i close my eyes and the dreaming journey starts. pure class song in a non-conventional structure

I really like the atmosphere you created in this track

One Synth Challenge #193 - Thorn by DS Audio

For this track I used 11 instances of a wonderful synth named Thorn by Dmitry Sches (DS Audio). All modulations of the parameters have been done live by making use of aftertouch and/or the modulation wheel. So no automations other than some volume changes here and there. In a studio setting, I think this makes the music nice and organic. Of course, a DJ on stage always does this. 

The title “Anemoia” is referring to the phenomenon of feeling nostalgic to a time or place that one has not experienced before...

---------------------------------------------------
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!

The Awakening (OSC 193 Thorn)

I'm diving headfirst into the JRPG vibes here. I originally set out to make a more subdued track but somehow a hint of epic flavor snuck in.

Thanks for listening!

Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is considered the most chemically complex of all the vitamins.
The core of the molecule is a corrin ring, which is centered around a single cobalt atom.
The molecular formula is C63H88CoN14O14P.
Its molar mass is approximately 1355.38 g/mol, which is considerably larger and more complex than many other vitamins.
