I like that a lot Timmeh.

It's got the usual synth magic from yerself, but I thought the addition of the operatic brought a nice textural balance to the overall track.

Makes me think of Deus Ex...strange the way that works...but cool.
Thanks very much for the ears and comments, mr.me. Glad you enjoyed it :)

The computer games I grew up with didn't have soundtracks :( although I have been known to partake in a little occasional TOCA 2.

Well, it's obvious isn't it?
THX-15 is an inter-galactic class space cruiser ID, so this is the theme tune for a space thriller :D
Really enjoyed this.
It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently now an 'elderly' so maybe I forgot!

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and comment, DHM. Glad you enjoyed it :) The next one is more upbeat/cheerful :wink:

I can confirm that the piano is a bit more audible during the final section.

I'm still startled when that lead synth enters in the final section. It certainly provides a contrast. :)
Thanks very much for checking this out again, Frantz. You should know what to expect from me by now :hihi:

Thanks very much for listening and commenting, Dave. Glad you liked it :)

I was just playing about with descriptors. This track is at a lower tempo than I normally employ, and used a less extensive set of sound sources. I think dirge may have been overstating things a little :wink:

Hey, Geoff. Good to see you round these parts again :) Thanks for listening and commenting. Glad you liked it :)

I think the cut-down set of sound-sources (compared to my usual pieces) may have inadvertantly helped the balance of this one.

Love the way that shimmery synth comes in like that. Wasnt expecting that at all.
The toms are quite nostalgic to me and bring to mind shows like 'V' .
I see you found the soprano too. Used it myself. Sounds very authentic. I wasnt sure if it was synthetic or an actual vocal sample but its great when its used sparingly , and with a bit of disguise

Pro-53 for the synth, A Kawai R50 EnergyXT2 drumkit and the Stank Warbler we spoke about earlier this year (or maybe even last year). Time files when you're having fun (allegedly).

V - big-budget lizards

That's probably the sound that's bothering me. Is the Pro-53 eligible for retirement yet? :)

The part around 4:00 is great. I'm really wondering how you did that.

Not yet, Frantz. Pro-53 makes its entrance at approx 2:00 on here. The sound that I presume you're talking about at 4:21 is ConcreteFX Ensembler.

I'm not sure that anything younger than I am should be retired :hihi:
