What Could Have Been

By c-cube on September 22, 2024 12:58 am

Channeling some emotions from the past, a bit. I was experimenting with the M8's hypersynth, and it gradually evolved into this. Thanks to impbox and eris for very helpful discussions about harmony and chords. The bowed instrument and "voice" are the M8 macrosynth, drums are samples, drone is a wavetable, bell is FM synth. I really enjoyed making this :-).

Thanks! I was positively surprised by how it turned out, truth be told, since it's a synthesizer. It's pretty decent!

This certainly feels like a prototype where you're working on chords and harmony. Perhaps someday you'll turn this What Could Have Been into a What Might Become.

Agree with Dizzi800 on that voice, cool melody as well. Great sound design overall, nice work!

this is a really cool track, thank you. there's a mysterious quality that really resonated with me

Great use of the macrosynth here.  Braids is one of my very favorite synth modules, and I think you really highlighted why it's such an awesome tool for sound design.

Damn, this is such a cool use of all those different synth engines!!! Great job, this sounds super evocative. Spooky at times and also mournful. Super nice, great job!!!

it's chill _and_ weird which is A+ material, haha. made me miss my m8 hugely.

Feels like the soundtrack to a detective noir mystery game.

I really dig the vibe going on here. The tones you worked up all really work well together - particularly like those icy bell sounds and that vocal “ahhh” sort of thing. Definitely agree, it’s had a mysterious and weird feel, just a little off kilter. Fun stuff!
