some really nice sound design elements in your track with some very organic parts that go well beyond typical syth sounds, great work

I definitely appreciate your music and sounddesign. Very nice, the vocal lead. Not a big fan of the very compressed mix.  I think it makes your lead instruments sound smaller than they should, and generally hurts instrument seperation and sense of space. Makes it generally harder to listen to. Well, for me, anyway.  That's  taking SC compression into account, I listened to the file too.

I love how you used Surge's vocal capabilities!

I like the trash snare sound - works well with this track -- kind of brings the ethereal stuff back to earth nicely.

Holy cow, I hope no animals were hurt in the making of this song? Since you asked for brutal feedback: I think the drums are lacking a little bit here and there. They work in the context of the all instruments but not so well in the break. Secondly imho the mix is a bit too dense, as mentioned before maybe too compressed and could use some more space. Still it's an amazing song with many great elements! Good luck :)

One Synth Challenge #181: Surge XT

Journey Matters

Journey Matters ["one synth challenge" edit - Surge XT]

In fields of freedom, wild and bright,
A spirit danced with untamed light.
But wires wove 'round her limbs so tight,
And screens replaced her starry flight.

The TV hummed its hypnotic song,
Violence echoed, shadows long.
Her wings grew heavy, once so strong,
Till free spirit's flame was finally gone...

All instruments and voices have been designed in Surge XT without any use of samples. Happy 15th anniversary to OSC!
