Description: Entry to one synth challenge #203. Only used Synthmaster 3 synth in Bitwig Studio 6.

the lead is definitely a harmonica, def a western thing, however this track didnt need it, try to select your sounds better. play with different ideas and sounds until they fit and are more pleasing. Nice job!

I like this track but the lead sound is wrong for me though.

Really good. The melody was a bit plain up to the 2 minute mark, but after that it's great

This is a really solid track.  Well done Mr Zip.

So well balanced.  Nice production here.  That snap into the huge verb is cool.

Your choice of sounds and their balance is spot on - even the kind of loud kick is not too distracting

I feel like a modulation or different chord change would have helped this past section as it started to feel kind of repetitive.  Nice production though.

I like the composition a lot. I feel like it could have benefitted by some different instrumentation, hard to say exactly what, but maybe harder, more modern trance or so

Made for OSC  159 using 12 Surge synth instances in Ableton Live,

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.

Humility (OSC 172 Lith)

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.
