Some very nice moments in there. Gets a bit distracted at some point and drags the overall impression a bit off, but still... some really nice stuff, too!

A nice laid back feel and atmosphere.  For me - too self similar.  If I scan forwards and backwards - it mostly sounds the same.  But that's my taste.

cool sound. this had me pecking out the Ab, G, F tune on the grand at work. I think trying to expand on it could work.

Nice work, I like how restrained you've been. Wee bit repetitive and soundwise lacking some clarity, but certainly something one can comfortably drift along with.

I was expecting some progression variety, but cool hypnotic track nonetheless, well done.

solid central idea, well executed with good sounds. I felt it needed to develop more or something to keep full interest personally.

Gazing At Shoes (OSC167 - Reason & Europa)

This is what David Attenborough would sound like when he's discussing microplastics with his dolphin translator at the Assembly of Southern Right Whales, and an orca keeps interrupting.

Entry for the 169th edition of KVR's One Synth Challenge, using the free Kilohearts synth kHs One. Usually only free effects are allowed but we were allowed to use other Kilohearts effects so I've made use of SnapHeap and Multipass.

An entry for the KVR One Synth Challenge #179 - Any One Synth.

The unreliable narrative of Spaceman D. Bassman continues...

As the sun falls gently towards the horizon, a lone figure casually lounges in a deck chair, the fiery sky reflected in his visor. In his hands he holds a large glass of his favourite cocktail, Sex on the Beach.

Lieutenant Spaceman D. Bassman had been through a lot lately. After almost 23 months marooned on an alien planet populated by those weird musical bees, his oxygen, water and food supplies were at dangerously low levels. Things were so desperate that he'd taken to supplementing his diet with several particularly fat and juicy bees with each meal. They tasted disgusting, but he loved them nonetheless.

After months of despair and having given up any hope of being rescued, somewhat miraculously, the Corp finally located his emergency beacon and saved him from an inevitable and very likely nasty, bee-poisoning related death. He was lucky, and thankful to be alive.

With his gums still raw and nippy from the bee stings, Bassman, now safely back on Terra, took a long swig from his glass, settled back in the chair, and put another cassette in his Cosmosblaster.

While the sun continued it's decent across sky, the heavy throb of psychedelic space dub and beesong filled the air once more. Bassman sighed a long sigh of relief and wiped a tear from his eye; He really loved those weird musical alien bees.

Fin.
