Blank Space

By Cosmic Cairns on June 5, 2024 10:52 pm

Lots of jammin' out on synths.  This is about 50/50 microkorg and iris2.  Just kind of built it section by section and had fun putting it together.

Really great song!  I love this jam.  This seems like your style, but I was 100% expecting vocals at some point.  But it feels very floaty, like you're floating in space.  Like a montage from a 90s sitcom where the character is on drugs and floating around above the town.  I really like it, downloading now.  At 1:24 there is a chord change, but actually the off-beat snare hits is what totally shifts the feel.  Great song!

lots of fun little elements going on! Some of it feels off-time but it also works and gives it a human feel and keeps it interesting.

Always having a good mood when I am listening to your tracks. It is so generous and kind of you bringing vibes of joy to the people. As well there is much finesse and creativity in your work. Here I can not get enough of the to knobtwiddles on the Synth.

^ ha, perfect!

super fun track, Cosmic! that change up was unexpected and really cool  smile

Def feeling those floaty joyous vibes throughout especially with those far out synth leads.  I especially like when those rhythmic synths double up on each other around the 2min mark.  Nice effects too!

Yes to floating above the town in a 90's sitcom. And at the school dance. Fun melodies, catchy, cool synth sounds, I like the stereo panning. Good space!


the sound of inspiration hitting smile

Thanks!  I like the image of the character floating above the town!

Thanks.  I do think it's good sometimes to have a human element in there.

Twiddling the knobs on the microkorg is always a good time.  Fun to do and makes cool sounds.

Floating at the school dance.  There's a fun image.

Thanks! 

Very positive vibes here! Cool synth work there from two minute mark onwards…not to say that there’s anything wrong before that, either smile

Thanks!  I do tend to think it's good to bring new elements into the latter parts of songs.  Helps keep them interesting.
