Just Past the Sun

By MRDRCAT on May 31, 2026 11:44 pm

20 minutes until deadline!! The M8 says I have 1 hour 40 minutes into this one. I like where it's headed, I just need to expand it. The patches are my own, and mostly my often-used bread & butter stuff. Sorry about the snare. Having the opening sound and that bass/kick all playing really messes things up. I got a lot of the fluttering and phase issues tamed, but some still remain because I still mostly don't know what I'm doing. The patch that opens it was done as an experiment to see if I could recreate a sound for someone else on the M8 Discord. I like to think I got close, but either way I like how it turned out.

Hoping I can shape this track into a more varied, interesting thing in the future, since it would go nicely on the space-travel-themed EP I dream about releasing sometimes.

This would definitely go nicely on a space-travel themed EP. I hope to hear it someday!

i want to play a space game with Virtua Racing-style graphics to this song!

nice job

There is a lot to like here. At the same time I also feel it could use some further refinement. Seems worth doing as the ideas are neat. BTW, Don't dream, make EPs and albums instead. ;-)

nice little tune and hope you get time to expand on it to your liking in the future. favorite detail / component is the sound design of the darker lead that is with us all the way from the start.

I wish i had your drum skilz yikes the melody is super catchy in this and i agree with Drew, I wanna play the space game this is in smile

that opening sound makes me so happy. now i feel i can face the day

Kind of military expedition to outer space. Love it when tunes make you envision a scene.

definately has the whimiscal space flight videogame level feel to it. Also good job on making the deadline!

Hits the space vibes for sure, nice!

Love the beat, it made me think of a swedish track called "Det snurrar i min skalle" by Familjen that I haven't heard in a while. Good stuff! smile The sound design is on point as well!

Early Depeche Mode vibes here! heart

Love the distant sound to that first synth line.
