I never really played a JRPG nor watched a LP from one, but one of the early Let’s Players i watched when i was a kid, had a lot of JRPG soundtracks in his background Playlist. And your track would fit perfectly between those – So, very well done, as it was mentioned before, sometimes the only thing you need is a handfull of sounds and great songwriting for a great track :)

great sensibility, great touch! a totally new, fresh and breathtaking song

The relaxed and wistful mood of this one is such a nice contrast. I needed this.

I love the little musical variations to keep the story moving.

This piece took me to a scene, an emotion and never let go. It never made me think about the synth or the technical aspects. Which to me is a sign of a very successful composition. Bravo.

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

toadhjo - The World Tree [OSC193]

All ready, set to go...
Going Up There, to a better place.
A place at the window, comfortably looking down.
But instead you got a cold damp dump with bugs.
And just when you start to rest in peace,
it's time to dance to the tune of Dr.Voodoo
Who can't even play properly.

Next time, better go with ASHES2ASHES Funeral Services !

Stay Safe, Save Space !
And Rest Assured At Bargain Prices !

A minor silliness for One Synth Challenge 193, perpetrated in Reaper using:

DS Thorn - 28 instances for 13 instruments, 6 of those percussion. 
All single layer, the difference due to voice spitting. 
light clean-up duties performed by TDR Nova.
Widening of pads by A1 Stereo Control
A minor amount of delay applied to said pads with HY-Delay 4.
A smidge of reverb on the bass by Supermassive.
Snipping of drums done by CHOP & Flux Bittersweet.
Reverberated by several Protoverb and Supermassive, 
with the assistance of HOFA Pan & Delay, TDR Nova, A1 Stereo Control & JS MIxer.
At the master level, general polishing was done by TDR Nova, A1 Stereo Control & Bittersweet.
All louderizing by Limiter No6.

Fogata mágica (Ultimo día)

There are moments
when time stands still,
and space falls silent.

Only the now exists—
full of love and presence.

The love of being.
feeling.

A touch—
body, soul, and spirit.
The scent, the sound,
the taste.

Joy without bounds.
Pure pleasure and happiness.

Nothing more true.
Nothing more whole.
Nothing more intimate.
