This month's one synth effort features the events of three and a bit minutes in the life of a nicely dressed bee by the name of Johnnie. He's judged by his peers to be 'quite good'. Listen in awe as he leaves the hive, flies round a bit, dodging the birds, and settles on a few flowers before flying off home for a well deserved rest.

This month it fell to Tracktion's Waveform Pro 13 for DAW duties along with ten instances of Primer 2. Layering: I've heard of it... Also featuring the following plugins:

- dpMeter5, Blue Cat Audio Gain3 and KClip Zero on clip to zero as always
- AudioModern Panflow
- Tracktion TReverber8
- NI Raum
- no instances of Valhalla Supermassive
- TDR Nova and Kotelnikov for mastering along with another KClip Zero to keep it all in check

MIDI for one of the arps was recorded from Pitch Innovations Eternal Arps. Patches are a mix of Init based and a few from the rather marvellous random buttons.

Thanks as usual to H0lyGh0st for the image created under the threat of using AI instead...

A lot of the synth sounds were tweaked presets, but I did create the drum sounds from init (arduously), and a couple other things here and there.

I speedran making this over five days, and it's probably a bit of a mess. I still had a blast though, and not only is this my first OSC entry (I hope there will be many more), but this is also the first time I've created a track (or song, anything) that I'm calling "finished". I hope people like it!

Almost a last-second kind of thing and I had to cut it short, but this one I'd really want to make longer eventually.

Me and my wife are leaving for Anime Expo this weekend, so I listened to everything while getting ready. Good listens! No 1s (except for my own track, obviously), and only a couple of 2s; mostly 4s and 5s! Well done, everyone!
