One Synth Challenge #181: Surge XT

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...

All instruments and voices have been designed in Surge XT without any use of samples. Happy 15th anniversary to OSC!

I HAD JUST TYPED OUT ALL THE DAMN INSTANCES AND CLOSED THE PROJECT **** YOU FIREFOX HAD TO CRASH THE TAB

Anyways this is my first time entering the contest!

If I remember properly there were 53 instances of Thorn, 3 instances of OTT, 41 instances of ReaEQ, 3 instances of ReEQ, 3 instances of Event Horizon Clipper, 1 ReaLimit, 2 JS Saturation, 1 ReaXComp, 2 instances of ReaGate, 1 instance of ReaComp, and I think thats everything. I used these just to make the song feel more full and to make the instruments blend together better. I also used the stereo width slider in the reaper tracks themselves a bit. Carla is just a bridge to run Windows plugins on Linux but it doesn't change the sound other than that, there are a lot of them though.

If you need project file, I can send it, created on Reaper 7.18 on Manjaro Linux
