Can you make a montage of summer activities to this? The song warrants a second play back to back.

Awesome man, love this.  Those arps sweeps at the end are the coolest!  Does the Diva come with all of those synths emulated or is that something you dial in with it?

A big thank you to all! Music helps me escape from anxiety and stress, so I tend to compose upbeat stuff; it makes me really happy to read that it reaches others in the same way!

Vous aussi! Prends bien soin de ta belle famille!

Ah, merci beaucoup! J'aime beaucoup utiliser les délais pourtaint j'ai horreur d'arriver en retard. Go figure hihihi

Thank you! I will try to make it a bit longer if I revisit it!

I had montage images in my head while composing actually! It kept going back and forth between 3 friends. One skateboarding to school, the second, a gymnast going training early then her parents dropping her off, and the third bringing his science fair project in a milk crate attached to his bike. And they would all meet in front and walk in together.

Thank you very much! Diva is an all-in kind of deal, you can buy patches if you like but the synth itself comes with everything you need to reproduce those sounds. It's a very close emulation of the synths mentioned above but you won't find them under those specific names in there, I'm guessing for copyright reasons? Also the fact that you can actually mix and match oscillators, filters and envelopes to create synths that do not exist, which is a pretty cool feature in itself

This sounds like the soundtrack for a 80s sitcom. The arrangement is very good.

This was great, really wanted it to be the soundtrack to a montage of some sort, perhaps with an old-school Ferrari in it somewhere.

So catchy!

Such a sunny tune, makes ya want to go out since the streets are empty enough anyway.

Very lush synth work. Every time you push the Tubular Bells button I could see Tom Cruise on a motorbike

You're 80's synth master. Morning coffee on a gloomy, pandemic day, listening to A Bright Day, very happy.

Yes what a bright and happy song.  Love all the synths (thanks for listing them, that's super interesting).  Great work on this, it definitely conveys a bright, happy day.

Beautiful main melody, I like how it plays over those long chords. The second chord is an absolute peach. Love it

Many thanks! It's the exact kind of soundscape I was going for!!

Thank you!! Yah I could totally picture an old-school Ferrari too hehehe (red, of course)

Nice I actually went outside a bit today to grab some rays, I'm stuck working from home for some time, as long as I walk alone it's pretty safe!

Aaaah yes! That's the stuff, thank you!

Thank you! Things are indeed gloomy, I hope you and yours are all safe and sound

Thanks! And my pleasure for the list, I wanted to talk about where the song's title came from but I ended up listing everything instead hehehe

Thank you kindly! I don't know about being a master tho hehehe, I just really love synths! Super happy that it was helpful!

Aaah, Richmond!

Thank you!! Funny you would say peach as I *just* learned the kanji for peach (momo) today, it's 桃

This sure brightened my day.  I love the how your tunes can really paint a picture of a scenario that your music would fit perfectly with.  Did you write 80s film's musical scores and not tell anybody here?!

So many classic sounds here, used with great taste and respect for the tradition. Very positive vibes, again. Great stuff...

It needs a huge knowledge to arrange the synth this way, to make such a beautiful composition. very well done.

Thanks for breaking it down! And nice to see you're also a fan of DIVA. I think that is a great piece of software. Sounds so organic for a soft synth!

Woah that beginning took me back to some Jan Hammer jams with a bit of Top Gun's bell theme.  Super bright!  PS Diva is awesome!

Beautiful track. Very uplifting sound.  And you got most of my favorite vintage synths in there. You're the king of the hand clap! Always brings a smile to my face! Love the arps!!

That Diva U-He pulls some decent synth tones.  Like the arp plucks at the start in particular and the big melody sound.  And how big does the Linn drum sound. Big splats!

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and for checking out my track! It puts a smile in my heart and on my face! I'm sorry I've been a bit overwhelmed in the past few days so excuse my late response!

There is no surprise that when I come back to check out your submissions that I will enjoy the upbeat sounds in clean and clear atmosphere that takes me to a time I have never experienced or lived in except in a film--which was played on broadcast tv or a VHS 5-10 years after it originally released. I love this stuff. The only logical question here is when do we see an album, breh? "Peppermint" isn't enough to satiate the hunger I have for some airy tunes. I need that fluffy goodness in mass. It's Halloween but you're our teacher acting like it's test time and you're treating us with one peppermint candy to get our brain juices flowing. Seriously, I feel an album would be awesome.

Hehehehehe, that's a funny metaphor! Thank you very much for listening so avidly, it fills me with joy to read that! I don't know if you saw, but on my bandcamp there is more than Peppermint. Last year I released two EPs, Paradise Mall and Dream Dimension! Here, this page shows you all my releases: https://gabmanette.bandcamp.com/music

I am putting the finishing touches on a 10 track album; you've already heard seven of them as part of this year's WB though hehehe It should come out in May.

Thanks again!

The link is appreciated. I clicked the name, but it just gave me Peppermint again. These dang new fangled computa-doot-doo-doot-doot-da-Dora's. Keep on keepin'on.
