tbh, I was thinking this was all a touch too washy for me, though really well made, no doubt about that, but here in that wash really comes into it´s own: that is one excellent bridge indeed !

You've made the delay and reverb an instrument in its self, brilliant! This all fits perfectly together for some epic darkness and heavy vibes!

This is one of my favourites of yours.  A strong one.  Great main theme.  Heavy verses.

As a veteran of the Outer Space Special Task Force you will receive special dispensation.....

I think the upper range of this composition is more "dangerous" than the lower end -- the bass lines sound good but don't push that danger vibe as much as they could.

I really like the soundscape -- the little arpeggio's could be less harmonically correct and more unsettling to push the sense of danger.  The power chords work really well. And the mid-range sounds in general are great.

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...

Children's Story (Free DL)


🌌 [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — a journey through neon lights, glitches, and digital melancholy.
Here, Synthwave nostalgia from the 80s collides with the cold pulse of Cyberwave, wrapped in the warm textures of Lo-Fi that soothe the noise of endless cities.

This is music for midnight streets, empty highways, and the glow of windows flickering in sync with your thoughts.
It’s where the past blends with the future, and emotions transform into digital code.

✨ Atmosphere:

neon synths glowing like city lights in the night;

deep bass, echoing like the heartbeat of a machine;

glitch effects dissolving reality into streams of data;

melancholic melodies leaving the aftertaste of nostalgia.

⚡ [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — more than music. It’s the soundtrack to a world where you choose: to be a wanderer in the neon haze or the hero of your own cyber story.

You can buy it
