Dust

This was intended to be my week 1 upload, but I ran into some unexpected technical difficulties and missed the original cutoff and decided to use the extra time to add more polish. I used a Digitakt for sequencing and drums, Nymphes for the bass and O-Coast + Strega for the lead. Thanks for listening, feedback welcome!

I thought this did well in progressing over time, starting simple and building complexity and energy over time, melodically and rhythmically to an apex near the end. Good variation. Strong drum programming.

Yooooo nice one! I was bopping. With the intro and melody I wasn't expecting the dope beats but loved them. I found myself wanting a breakdown section, and right when I was feeling that, the glitchy repeat beat section started and it was both nice to have my desires/expectations of a breakdown met, and also have my expectations broken with the glitchy style. Well done. Great sound selections too - really lush and scifi indeed

I like the flammy drum beat & great lead synth. makes me want to pull out my no coast!

very bouncy and fun to listen to, love the drums especially as the grow more complex at the end

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Really enjoyed how the drums took it in a different direction from the opening synth echoes.  It has a fun swingin feel to it that had me bobbin and weavin along.  Also a fan of how the break gets used creating that push n pull feel.

coming back to this one, so cool. especially like how the beat turns inside out at the end. cheers!
