Another downtempo track. M8 + LXR02 + MegaFM, with LXR providing the percussion, MegaFM the plucky lead at 1:20, and M8 synths the rest. Next time I have to go above 160BPM!

Dang, that opening is such a soft sound being so damn intense. Riding the waves and loving it heart

Filmic and a tiny bit of Legendary Pink Dots in the way you approach chords. And the clustery bass just works. Like it!!

Delicious synth arrangement! Very deep, warm, and rumbly. Digging that chord progression too. smile

there are no bad tempos, capturing a moment that we all get to enjoy, thank you for this!

Thank you, that was actually the starting point! Just making chords with the wav paraphonic synth + LP/HP filter and a touch of POST:AD distortion. Kinda tricky for the mix, though, in the absence of EQ I had to play a lot with the filter.

Thank you, actually haven't heard these pink dots you speak of. Looking it up...

Thank you big_smile It's true, I like all the tempos... but I like to switch it up every once in a while!

Love this, I dig the lower tempos, such a smooth beat with the pads and sweeping synth that comes midway

This is an amazing composition, the sounds are good, the melodies are good, the song is good.

really nice "stacking" of rhythmic/melodic elements

I _think_ I was thinking of this one. You decide if you accept it, something reminded me, but I'm not so sure anymore xD
