That's insightful and helpful! My plan is to improve my harmony and structure, so the time for getting serious in depth is now!

Very haunting track, like shortly opening a window to another dimension...

An other demo using two patches from cosmic pro :

mars meditation split & fast triplet scanner

effects used : vintage valhalla reverb, loomer shit, eurydice

Nice to see others posting examples! Iegs, I listened to both your tracks. This last is very interesting like some beast trying to break out of it's entanglements, while softer elements try to placate...

Here's my recent work.

8 instances of Padshop Pro playing sounds from Cosmic.

I tried working percussion sounds/loop into the mix.

I used Uhbik T, trance gate, modulated the pattern sequence to get some variety. I used Lfo's with slower rate and fade in and out to vary pitch on some of the sounds.

I used one instance of Chromaphone playing a sound from ChromaZone, run through Uhbik F

2C B2 moudular reverb was used on the master bus and on a couple of the sounds. Master Compression/limiting by Arts Acoustic CL series.

Listening as I write - glistening morning sun on a radioactive planet, some native inhabitants in the distance beating the drums for war...an alien soundtrack for a director on lysergic acid

I like the textural composition a lot and how the granular beats are strangely disconnected from the rest yet giving the whole track a good foundation.

Thanks Simon

I'm glad I don't need lysergic acid to come to new and strange worlds. I just load up a few Patchpool sounds and I'm well on my way!
