Great atmosphere somewhere between darkness, madness and a strangely good-sounding confusion. Great song with a lot of depth and tension. I really like the very subliminal harmonies. It literally forces you to listen carefully. Very captivating if you like dark music. I really like it!

wow. i think this may be my favorite by you. maybe mouth noises are better than synths hmmm.

the sound design is wonderful! love all your silly sounds. just what was needed for such a competition. a lot of effort here. I can hear your trademark approach to music - even though it's just your voice. it is a little on the quiet side.

Hey 
Martin The Herring Gull
Martin The Herring Gull
Wake!

Yes?

Stop eating dog food 
We have a quest for you

I like dog food 
Why do a quest for you?

If you don't get this job filled
We’ll kick you out the gull guild

Well if you put it that way
I hope this job has good pay

And fly over the Eastwood highland 

It won't take you very long 
You're so very very strong 

And down to Denny island

We would love to come help too
But we have a lot to do

There you'll find a nasty bird
Who’s taken our Future Queen
Deep inside his wretched lair
Is the Princess Joleen

—-

Denny island!
   There's no coconuts 
Denny island!
   Nothing good for you
Denny island!
   No golden sand
Denny island!
   Just tons of puffin poo

Denny island
   I’m not so sure
Denny island 
   Is it worth the cost
Denny island 
   I’ll say I got lost

Martin! 
You WILL come back with Joleen!

And kill the Cormorant King!

Martin The Herring Gull - Part 1

This here is an entry for the One Synth Challenge adjacent Super Mega Challenge. The brief was to use sounds produced with ones mouth only (with effects). Sadly, I can't sing (or write lyrics worth a damn) so the result is this. 14 tracks of mostly ooohs and aaaahs of various pitches along with some drum noises. Created in Tracktion Waveform Pro 13 mostly using its included MultiSampler and DrumSampler plugins. For the mangling, there's the inevitable Valhalla Supermassive along with IK's Tape Echo, CSR Hall and Bus Compressor, BabyAudio's Humanoid, iZotope's Trash 2, CableGuys ShaperBox3, Minimal Audio's Ripple Phaser and Cluster Delay, Waves Brauer Motion, and kHs Gate. We also have an appearance by iZotope Iris 2 and Imaginando's FRMS granular synth. As usual, we have dpMeter, BlueCat Gain and KClip 3 for Clip to Zero. Mastered using IK's Master X plugin.

And Yet We Push Forth (OSC196 Primer 2)

Certain To Fall

Track I made for KVR's One Synth Challenge (OSC) #196. This is the first OSC challenge I have competed in, and the first track I would say I've "finished". It's crazy dense, and I've never made something like this before, but I hope someone likes it! Dedicated to Berlin and it's amazing EDM culture.
