Jazz For Cyberpunk Era

By horatiuromantic on February 19, 2024 12:01 am

worked on this composition for the past few hours. it's a kinda classic jazz tune, feels like the melody is pretty solid. wanted to do a combination hydrasynth and piano but didn't really get any good takes. ran out of time. decided to whip together a final hydra perf and share that, because the theme is quite nice I think.

Pretty happy you did upload it even if not a huge orchestration. This synth works really good by itself. I liked this quite a lot!

how DARE YOU almost not upload!

this is so awesome!!!

Yeah, this is great! Got a hydrasynth explorer coming this week ... I hope I can make it sound this good some day.

Hawt dayummm! This is lovely!! I just got a Hydra a couple weeks ago! (Desktop version) Your expressiveness shines throughout this whole track. Well done

Holy crap, this is beautiful! I agree with orangedrink here, how dare you almost not upload this??? Hahahaha... Lovely work.

Damn, I really want to slam some drums behind that. Really nice.

thanks. my biggest pain point is drums. you are welcome to remix this to hell if you feel inspired. as I said I wasn't fully feeling it so if someone gets smth out of it all the better.

thanks a lot! I overthunk it. It's nice, it's a weeklybeat, been in a bit of a slump, it will pass. On a fresh morning listen it still sounds the same tho, I'm not totally unsatisfied but yea. gotta lower them standards a little bit.

thanks! this is mostly working from a preset, I forgot which one but it's an early one with sinewaves. I added a layer of grit when you push harder on the keys to have a bit more expressiveness and some reverb in logic. The rest is about how you play it!

thank you very much! I like the synth version too, but it felt like an emergency version instead of really wanting to go for solo synth.

I hope to find the energy and focus and be able to put more time into music. it's what I love most but it can be hard sometimes to get into the right mindset to actually do it. it's really good to be part of WB tho, I guess otherwise I wouldn't have done even this much, and it's still something.

this is such a soothing melody. I could listen to it for hours

That's such a great synth sound, really sings on those leads

Gorgeous. Was not familiar with the hydra but I am now. Guess I’m late to the party.

Ooh this sounds like a great collab

as others have said already, I can't believe you almost didn't upload this!

what a great vibe, we need more jazz for the cyberpunk era.

It is indeed a solid melody. Really like the warm retro synth, it's perfect for the this tune.

Wow this is lovely on it's own but as others have mentioned, ripe for a remix!

Such a nice composition, love the mellow vibe. Got some church vibes about it too. Could be the intro for some kind of cyberpunk jazz cult service, haha, in a cool way!

this feels like it comes straight out of the Blade Runner universe. I think it is wonderful! And a good reminder that wonderful songs can be simple

Smooth lounge for in the clouds.

Lovely! Some really cool voice leading/harmony in this one, I really like the hydra sound and think it stands on its own well.

These warm layers are perfect. It takes me to a nice 60s movie soundtrack. This synth is just deliciously wobbly, as if it was alive.

Ahh nice to hear! I will come back to it as the compo itself is kind of like a jazz standard.

Thanks! Heavy lifting by the hydra preset, I forget which one.

Yea! This one is ripe for the plucking! If you can do anything with the sample feel free!

Thanks! Can't do strings or horns with this synth but strings or horns can't do this! big_smile

Thanks! True, I want to do more simple songs. But I usually tend to go towards maximalism big_smile

Thanks! It's one of my better melodies. I feel this version doesn't give it the most justice, smooth as it may be.

Ah thanks! Hydra can feel quite warm.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! It's been a crazy week! Very unexpected to get so many listens on this track big_smile

So on point - some great jazz moves in this for sure :-)

Beautiful and dreamy. Excellent.
