The Plough And The Sickle -One Synth Challenge - TribeOfHofund

21st Nov 2022 17:18 - 3 years ago
Description : A little trip in 5/4. Normally we do not enter one synth challenges due to our style. However, when Reason Studios announced the Algoritm FM synth challenge, we discovered its potentials for physical modeling and took the bait. Peters guitar was not added, we wanted to use Algoritm only to see how far we could take it. We did not win xD Go to the lyrics to find out what it is about.

Fit for a medieval banquet with plenty of mead and some fair maidens dancing by fire light. Or is it just me? I enjoyed the melodies personally. I'd like to offer more substantive feedback but it's late and I'm a simple man and I like what I like...oh and I really enjoy the background to the mythology etcv you provide. Hope you keep them coming, Chris.

Hi Chris
Thanks a lot for visit and kind feedback. No worries, your imagination is substantial enough to us. A banket? Why not? After all we are hailing the holy tools that feed us. We gladly provide the inspiration sources for our tunes for simple (and humble) men like you and us. Thanks again. :-D

great sound lads, to be fair algorithmic sounds are way above my head. i wouldn't know were to start, its been around for years but i think you have to be a great musician to understand it, bit like rocket science :)) you have produced a good medieval piece here really like the bells too and its great to see you rise to the challenge showing off your versatility but like others Peter's guitar would be nice to here front and centre. its great for everybody to here different styles in my opinion well done guys

Greetings Dimestop. Once again your appreciative comments are warm and welcome. We are happy that you are so perceptive to our style. Tbh, if it was not for the contest, I would have lost patience with the synth after half an hour. But I took the fight, experimentet a lot until something got us close enough. Thanks again, Bro. Stay safe.

It's definitely fun, and you worked in an interesting way with the 5/4th, in some parts more or less working around it, sometimes high-lighting it. I like the somewhat medieval sound you achieved in parts.
Regarding the one-synth challenge, I'd not heard about that before but I suppose you use only... One... Synth? :D
I think you made full use of it, but if you let go of it, I think you can make it more interesting. I'd definitely welcome a bit of that guitar, either some power chords towards the end or a good solo!

Hi Baobou. Thanks for dropping by with some nice feedback and engaged comment. Yes, one synth, he he. ;-D To be honest, none of the voices but the effects would have survived if it was not for the contest. Though this FM synth has potentials for physical modeling, it is pretty bad compared to the rest of our modeling gear. If you heard the string section, viola and choirs in isolation, you would notice how artifical they sound. A remake would imply replacement of both strings and flutes. The bells wouldn’t be octaved but layered with Peter’s guitar as front instead. Thanks again for the visit, mate.

Kindly
Gothi

I started differently this time: chords on the piano and a mix of old and new instruments, and many more chords. Hype started singing haha, that's why the title, just listen :) It's certainly not perfect, but I moved on ;)
Didn't know which genre to select, that's why Weird.

Sit back and enjoy!

Description : I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics. I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like. I want you to evaluate my lyrics. I was inspired by the band Kukryniksy

Description : A really emotional piece based on a Balkan Oriental guitar sample I found here on this site. Hope you enjoy the sad rap vocals and the sad vibe. This is slow sad melodic hip hop. Very XXXTENTACION, JUICE WRLD TYPE VIBE, but oriental.
