Leftovers of a Future that Never Came

I welcome all critical feedback. Can relicense if you're interested, just ask.

60 BPM 4/4, G-minor. All sounds Osmose. No AI used in any part of the process. For this year every cover art is a photo I took.

this grabs you from the start. This is so good. The osmos is sounding great. I'm not a keys player but there's so much expression going on here it adds so much emotion and depth. The rhythm that starts to come in at 3:30 guides you to the second half of the song. Amazing transition. favorite.

He’s back with a 6m masterpiece, and we couldn’t be happier about seeing it.

Title goes hard.

This could work magnificently in the fallout and rise period after the intro hook level in a game. You’re inspiring me to try some of these slowly evoking mood structures as opposed to a pop song structure.

I'm seriously impressed with this. Kinda speechless. Also the title and art are just on point for the whole package. Bravo.

Oof yes love those pad swells!  The combination of the higher string with the darker brassy one is such a calming sound.  Getting some lovely Vangelis feels with that lead at 3:17 that then have an excellent chord change with the marimba-ish groove starting.  So cool how it blossoms and floats simultaneously. This is an epic track from start to finish!  Agree the pic is hypnotic and feels like one of those blade runner ads on the side of a skyscraper smile The osmose must be fun to play. Excellent work!

Really great job man, awesome atmosphere and amazing percussions, love it heart

oh wow

Beautiful. That little higher shift in chord changes around 3 mins gave me chills, and then the little bladerunner motif... wondrous.
The build towards the end with the mallets was really nicely crafted and forgive me for saying, very "on brand" lol

A very welcome and comforting 6 1/2 minutes after a long day.

beautiful. lovely progression, tasteful instrumentation and great mix. I was transported. also super cool you did this on the osmose. I have only ever used it as a controller (aside from goofing around). really good.

good work

Absolutely lovely sounds, everything is mixed in so well, the entire sound wraps around you.  Agree with others,  great title and love the photo you provided this week, the music is perfectly fine on its own, but they both absolutely add to the overall package and staring at the photo heightens the effect of the music.

love how atmospheric this is, and i love that rhythmic marimba in the second half!

so patient and deliberate, a feature-length film condensed into 6:26

I was thinking this feels very much like the Blade Runner 2049 score. And then the Blade Runner motif comes in. lol

As you're open to feedback.

I'm not really blown away by the last two minutes. And the reason why is that they're doing different things that both draw my attention. But I don't feel like they are complementing each other. I think if the main melody/strings would have subsided and gave way for the rhythmic element that would make sense to me. Or if the rhythm really started to accentuate the melody.

Maybe, just thinking out loud here. Maybe if rhythm had a low pass filter on it. And would get bright when the melody falls quiet for a moment. And grows dark again when the melody blooms up. That way you get a kind of call and response going. An interplay that makes the feel connected. In a way that are currently not. Or at least, not for me.

That is all my opinion, of course. So feel free to ignore and disagree. But I love the first 4 minutes of this, that's excellent stuff!
