Here we gooo! This is my first OSC entry. With this piece, I experimented mashing together some basic EDM tendencies with weird speed funk drums and an arcade shoot-em-up style composition. This was a fun challenge; limitation seems to be my best source of inspiration so far. This whole process taught me a lot about what I should be focusing on in terms of song structure and sound design. Now it's time to dig into other Surge submissions and see what crazy stuff I didn't think of!

I used 33 instances of Surge. 9 of them are for reinforcement or double-tracking, though, so it's more like 24. All creative FX are from Surge's FX alone.

Channel FX used: 5x Fruity Limiter (2 for light comp on kick/snare and 3 for sidechain), 1x Fruity Parametric EQ2 for some gentle mix highpassing, 2x Maximus to beef up the drums and bass busses a little. I tried to keep it mostly barebones to maintain the feel of Surge.

Power Surge (OSC 122 Entry)

Yeah I hate to tell you this but this account is outta minutes. I should make a new one and let you know. Someday, maybe!

Say hello to the mascot, Mercury!

I make arrangements using the sounds of video games and video game consoles. Mostly SEGA Genesis stuff.

Authentic Mix = Plays within hardware limits of corresponding game system.
Steroid Mix = Goes over hardware limits of game system (because why not).
Superior [...] Mix = Because I think my audience deserves better when the first time doesn't cut it.

Cyber music with a love for all things synthesized!
