I originally composed this track for the monthly Mix Challenge Songwriting Contest in June (if you want to know more, here's the website: https://www.mix-challenge.com/), which theme was "Summer Dreams". Unfortunately, the version I submitted for the contest was definitely unfinished, unpolished and... well, for this reasons (and a few others), not very good.

A couple of feedbacks defining it like a sort of game soundtrack prompted me to try and fix it. This is its more refined version, with a better volume and balance managament between the tracks and a richer mix. As usual, it's still not perfect, but I'm quite satisfied with it.

Enjoy!

This is my submission to the #kvraudio #OneSynthChallenge #197 featuring the VST Synth Odin 2 by The Wave Warden

All sounds are coming from the Synth acompanied by a number of moderate tone shaping, mixing and mastering fx. I Mix/Master with MeldaProduction EQ/Compressor, Auburn Lense, Loudmax Limiter. All fx free or built into the DAW. DAW is Bitwig 5.3.x. No Samples. No Postprocessing after the audio export.

Odin 2 -  by The Wavewarden, now with an updated interface.

The sound of this 24-voice polyphonic beast will take you from your studio right to Valhalla! There are three oscillators whose types include analog, wavetable, vector, chiptune, FM, phasemod and noise. Waveforms can also be hand drawn. These can be routed through up to three excellent filters with all the usual types plus comb, formant and ring modulator. For modulation there are envelopes, LFO's, an  x-y pad and an arpeggiator, along with a mod-matrix  for easy routing. The FX section includes delay, phaser, flanger, chorus and reverb, all of which can be easily reordered using drag and drop. The interface is an intuitive semi-modular design, making sound design easy and fun. Odin 2 is free, powerful, fun, and available for Mac/Windows and Linux.

All sounds created practically in Odin 2, with no CGI...

"An ash I know there stands,
Yggdrasill is its name,
a tall tree, showered
with shining loam.
From there come the dews
that drop in the valleys.
It stands forever green over
Urðr's well."
 ~ Völuspá (second stanza)

-------------------------------------------------------

This month was a real challenge!

When I looked at Odin, I came up with the idea of a true One (!) Synth Challenge – just a single instance, no excuses.
I dove deep into sound design and quickly realized: this would become a real borderline experience.

While endlessly tweaking, I kept discovering new sonic paths – sometimes inspiring, sometimes frustrating.
Odin could be pretty temperamental when dealing with MIDI, but in the end, I managed to shape something that feels raw, tense, and expressive.

So here it is: Grenzerfahrung (borderline experience) –
a track born from limitation, chaos, and way too many hours. ;)

NJoy. Any feedback welcome.

Nichts Halbes und Nichts Ganzes (OSC #197 - Odin2)

My entry for OSC#197

"There's almost something spiritual about two proud gnomes on unicycles - accelerating to battle speed, each holding aloft a large frozen herring."

Borderline self-parody, I see this as the last hurrah on a string of increasingly silly songs.

Unicycle Jousting

Loris - Asylum

"In a distant future where organic life and machine consciousness have merged, a towering structure rises from the heart of a neon-lit metropolis—a cathedral not built of stone, but of circuitry, fiber optics, and humming energy. This is the Circuit Cathedral, a sanctuary where digital souls come to reflect, recharge, and transcend."

The concept for this track came from prompting A.I. for inspiration for a new track.  The A.I. suggested a synth-laden electronic rock track with a rogue theremin thrown in for good measure.  It also came up with the track's title, cover art, and backstory.

[Please note: as this un-mastered track was mixed using headphones, I recommend that it be listened to via headphones/earbuds to ensure the best listening experience.]
