Treinta y uno

By laguna on August 4, 2024 11:56 pm

Made with mostly the Renoise sound library and Linux Studio Plugins (Artistic Delay and Stereo Filter). They have a steep learning curve, but I think I'm getting to a certain point of usability. The title is really lame, just "thirty one" in spanish... yeah, I know, real genious smile

I had certain melancholic vocals in mind but never found the correct fit on time.

Things are being really though and serious in life right now, so I needed some synth beauty.

Hope you have the best seven days possible, WB family

Make yourselves a great gift and listen to the origin of the drum break. A masterpiece of 70s jazz funk:

Hi laguna! Beautiful work--fantastic and lush sawtoothy synth, perfect use of that drum sample. Absolute banger of a mood-making piece. Sending best wishes for dealing with the difficult stuff going on.

Suhweet flared out synth pads that evoke some Vangelis_meets_Jan_Hammer_to_discuss_soundtracks_vibes smile  The drums give it a nice laid back downtempo groove.  The benefit of WB and working on music is it hopefully helps us get thru all of these tough times.  Hope your week gets better!

Thanks a lot, Maurice! Yeah, the Renoise internal instrument library is full of gems and it's also a reminder that you do not need gigabytes of the last libraries, just short waveform loops and really clever sound design.

I really appreciate the compliments. This year death and sickness has striked my small family, and we've got lawyers in the work front.

Believe me. Your kind words means a lot to me at the moment smile

Whoah, Eric. Really moved by your compliment. Vangelis and Jan Hammer in one sentence... I wish this was my own private "Crocket's Theme" smile

AS I mentioned previously to Onezero, these year's been pretty hard, and music's been always my solace and my place of rest.

Really glad I can still bring some laid back vibes and good vibes to others smile

Thanks a lot, again

lovely track, the pads are super rich and the breakbeat hits just right. hope things get better, hang in there!

Thanks a lot for the compliment. I was precisely looking for some "Bleeoop/Grillo shiny mix" vibe, though I lack your electric piano skills.

This week's beat also wished to be clean and open like yours, though I'm afraid it is currently swimming in a sea of mid-range confusion smile

Also "Grazie molto" for the positivity. It really means a lot right now.

Daaaaaaaang, this was beautiful!!! I loved how ethereal and just... Synthy it felt! Definitely hitting the synth beauty mark.

I hope life has treated you better these past few days, and that it just keeps getting better from now on.

Damn, this is lush as

Great use of the drum break, fresh take on that break with the lush synth workout, my kind of relaxation music.
