Dubiously Superior Powers

By Jazzaria on January 4, 2026 5:42 pm

Claims are often made that such and such is, in some ways, superior to this and that. Neither this nor that are deeply considered - they are but side characters to the heroics of such. Yet when scrutiny is applied, superiority is revealed to be merely difference, where its directionality is subjective and complex. The imposition of power over difference becomes a dubious mark.

Featuring Teenage Engineering OP-Z synthesizer and riser effects.

Love how this is a composition in miniature - the original theme, switches feel at the :30 mark, and all resolves by one minute. Leaves me wanting more! Well done smile

Even without acoustic clarinets and oboes you manage to squeeze out so much expression out of basic synth sounds. And so much out of just 60 seconds of audio. I feel like what I just heard was as if from a window of a passing car. I found it at neither the beginning nor end, but it went its own way and now I'm left wondering "what else was there". The car horn-like chord in the middle kind of enforced this image.

love the mash of ideas, they flow nicely into eachother, while still being very distinct!

1 min in length and practically 4 songs in this!  very cool

There's a dizzying array of ideas packed in here. Great sounds all around.

Thanks all for the kind words! Honestly the length is mostly because I chose to do it entirely in the OP-Z (aside from the two riser effects), and at least for me doing really long tracks in the OP-Z is cumbersome. But I tried to take advantage of that, as well as the neat effects and capabilities the synth has - I wanted to use a variety of sounds but still make it at least somewhat coherent/smooth.

RPLKTR, definitely enjoy the "from a window of a passing car" idea - I think the fading of effects is probably similar to how sound actually is distorted when you drive by like that.
