I particularly like this line being played by the fuzzy sort of lead

Well, I balked a bit when I saw the length, but I was wrong to, because it's well worth the time spent listening! It doesn't get boring, and I enjoyed the sounds all along. Excellent!

I was a bit worried because of the length, but about 3 mins in i just forgot about time (and that i should rate your track) and just listened. Great track IV, well done!! :)

as someone who sometimes complains about too long osc tracks, i have absolutely no such issues with this one :)

Great change of vibe, took me by surprise

KVR OSC Personal Top Three

One Synth Challenge 156 @ KVR. Sequenced using 12x instances of Synister.

DLA (Osc156 - Synister)

In this track for the OSC # 159 I used 33 instances of the free Surge XT synthesizer.

DAW: Cubase 11 Pro (Frequency, GEQ-30,  Stereo Delay,  Revelation, Tube Compressor, AutoPan and Maximizer)

Free 3rd party plugs: Panagement 2 by Auburn, Baby Come Back by Baby Audio, MCharmverb by Melda Production, Wider by Polyverse Music and Supermassive by Valhalla.

All sounds are TSOM originals. Except: Flutish Organ and the 10CC Choir Pad are tweaks I did with some wonderful presets by Martijn Deluxe. The Alien Voice has been created using the Vowel/Speech wavetable in Surge's TWIST engine.

Surge XT - Utopian Mornings

This is my track for OSC#159, made in Cakewalk by Bandlab using 20 instances of Surge XT (10/10 of my/factory presets) and the next effects: OTT, Verberate Basic 2, Flux Mini, SeeSaw, M/Ster Balance, Wider, Oril River, Satellite. And GMonoBass and Broadcast on the Master.

This synthesis of synthwave and musical arthouse was written as a long hypnotic jam, I played these variations over and over again and didn't notice how it got so long. But now, as they say, "You can't throw no one word out of the song!", so I'm ready for any comments on this and other reasons, anything that will help make the next track even better!)

An entry for the KVR One Synth Challenge #177 - Synful Orchestra & VSCO Percussion.

As the sun sets on the horizon, casting long shadows across the alien landscape, a lone figure sits cross-legged, silhouetted against the fiery sky. In his hands he holds his trusty bass guitar, its strings gleaming in the fading light.

Lieutenant Spaceman D. Bassman had been stranded on this planet for 7 months, his crashed spaceship was damaged beyond repair, but he hadn't given up hope of being rescued. Every day he would refill his oxygen tank and walk into the poppy fields at sunset to jam on some dubby grooves, his music echoing across the vast expanse.

As he plays, he feels a sense of peace wash over him. The sounds emanating from his instruments are an ethereal mix of orchestral timbres and heavy dub, infused not only with the smells, sights and sounds of the alien planet and his hopes for the future, but also mixed with the melancholy of longing for his home-world. Music is his last connection to humanity, his way of staying sane in the face of loneliness.

One day, as Bassman was jamming on a particularly bad-assed groove, he heard a faint sound inside his helmet. His heart beat faster with excitement; At last, the Corp had located his damaged ship and had come to rescue him! Then, almost imperceptibly at first, he started to make out a strange melody, not entirely inharmonic to his tasty bass licks.

Bassman was stung violently on the forehead. He flinched and almost dropped his guitar. "Feck!", he howled. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a bee crawling on the inside of his visor, it's wings implausibly buzzing in a near perfect B Major. Desperate not to be stung again, he flailed his head around inside the helmet, attempting to squash the musical intruder against the side. After many attempts and with great effort, he struck one blow, then another, and with each strike the bee's buzzing became more and more erratic and atonal. Sensing victory, and with a final yank of his head, Bassman dealt a fatal blow, and the bee was silenced. 

As the sun continued it's slow descent below the horizon, Bassman composed himself, picked up his bass and continued jamming. Tomorrow he would seek out more of these alien musical bees, not only in the hope that one day they could forgive him for killing one of their own kind, but also that they might continue the collaboration between their two species on some more of those sweet-assed tunes.

Fin.
