This should definitely be in a reflective scene from a movie.  Love it!

Lovely as always, you have a great feel for melody. Agree that higher part coming in around the middle is sweet. Not that similar, but the vibe makes me think of the twin peaks theme.

This is really lovely composition.  The harmonies at around 1:47 really highlight what makes the patch special.  And the section a 2:00 (⋆ˆ ³ ˆ)ლ The tempo shift was a nice touch too, creates a very dramatic moment.

Really enjoy the "arc" of this one, lots of feeling in both the quieter and louder parts and tons of contrast between them despite pretty much the same instrumentation. I found the last minute and a half-ish to be so calming

i'm with jwh... I wanna live here.  This gave me some good ol' WarGames feels as far as the uplifting feel to this.  Main character pops the tab on a soda and puts in a floppy disk as he kicks a pizza box out of the way sorta feels.  Excellent solo on the synth and love that repeating theme.  Well done.

This is very pleasant, though somehow it feels as if the piano is holding something back, almost like it has a low pass filter or something. But perhaps that adds to the delicacy.

I got primed by the image you put in the description and the track sounded like a sepia vintage music. I like the laid back vibe.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

I was having a conversation yesterday with a music friend about how some synths have a clear character and voice right down to the tuning of their knobs - and how others can be a struggle to make sound "good" let alone have that musical identity. This composition really showcases the musical voice of your instruments quite effortlessly, I "know" what these sounds are and it makes it such an easy, enjoyable listen.

What a lovely piece!

What a lovely piece!

love the octave separated melody that come in around :50, sounds so good! Agree with Cursory, great arc in the arrangement.

Sweet and nostalgic. Ah yeah like a nice school dance, sparkling lights all around.

Oof, I haven't responded to y'all in quite a while. Mad banners! I mean, bad manners!

Yeah, when I first heard the CP30 it was like "wow, this sounds is so basic, no way they sold any!" but when I actually started playing with that patch it turned out it's quite expressive.

Thanks for listening, as always!

If only anybody let me score any movie haha

The timbres are definitely different, but maybe some of the wistful harmony goes in the same territory as "Twin Peaks". I definitely don't touch any darker territory here, this is pure and simple nostalgic sugar.

Ah, I appreciate the comment, I was trying to touch that sehnsucht, and it seems it worked!

Thanks for the careful listen, yeah, with a basic sound like this you have to compensate with what you're actually playing

Thanks! Yeah, I added the coda late in the game, it just came as I was playing and I left it unedited as that decompressing coda gives context to the louder moments.

Aww, thanks! WarGames, that's a vibe.

Thanks for the listen, Devieus. Yeah, that particular timbre is definitely limited, which is why I was so curious to see if it can still be effective musically.

The image is of course deliberate. The actual CP30 also looks vintage sepia:

I bet it came with that beige carpet.

Thanks so much! You're absolutely right that different instruments naturally gravitate towards different sweet spots, and you have to lean into that and not fight it. You won't make a Juno into a Minimoog, and you can't make dubstep on a Steinway.

Cheers!

Thanks, SQF!

Thank you for listening, Em! You're the expert in sparkly magic.

Haha, this was what I was going for, so I'm happy it shows. Thank you for taking the time!
