I understood almost nothing about how it's made, but the result is really good, not boring at all, it's evolving in a really nice interesting way, for me it's like magic that such complete and long track can be done via code(there is no visual side in supercollider like in max, if I understood it correctly after googling it, isn't it?)

Oh no worries, people have said a couple times they appreciate when I give details on my process but I probably went a little too deep this time. You know how it is with toys & tools Thank you so much for listening and for your kind words!

Yes, that is exactly right about SC, it's all code. That's one of the things that drew me to it - I often feel like GUIs are a distraction and steer me in certain directions and I sometimes feel like I'm fighting them. For my taste it takes care of just the right amount of stuff and doesn't get in the way much at all.

The "pattern" part of SC is a syntax for sequencing events. If you've heard of TidalCycles, I believe that was influenced a fair amount by SC patterns. A lot of people use them for algorithmic composition, where instead of placing each event by hand, they write a program (big or REALLY tiny) that creates the sequences. This was my first stab at doing that, and it turned out to be a weird hybrid of hand-picked notes and really simple algorithmic constructs (looping, resetting, etc.). There's nothing going on under the hood that a handful of Eurorack sequencer/logic modules couldn't do. I found it pretty satisfying compared to other sequencing methods, though, and I plan to do more

Ha i understood that this is all supercollider, wich is amazing... Sounds are real nice.

Thank you! Hopefully I'll have some more interesting sequencing next time

very groovy! I like the contrast between the soothing pad/lead lines and the weird things happening sequencewise. Lands quite near the B12/A.Twin territory... I love it.

Thank you very much for the kind words. Those are both big influences for me so that is a huge compliment. I think Ochre's Neoretro is also in a somewhat similar direction to where I wound up going.

I also didn’t understand much of the explanation, yet I still enjoyed reading the process and now learned something new.  I like how that kick morphs into the melodic bass, glad you were able to try something new this week and great result.

Thank you very much. I used to lean on the morphing thing a lot, it's kind of a favorite pastime of mine

unreal what you've accomplished here on two synth voices and a load of manipulation. What if Elektron but code?

Great sounds. I also like bass morph and how this evolves, that main melody that comes in after the long intro is sweet.  I as well only partially followed, but I've heard about SC a bit from you before. Congrats on getting a full track done in it! Mad SC skills!

Thanks man!! Yeah I think that melody deserves its own spotlight; I need to figure out something to do with it.

This was a really fun tune! Good job!
