Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
Thank you @oscillator for taking this adventurous road with me. I know that my workflow and toolchain is so alien to yours - and most other people's.
And thanks for the video. As ever your sound choices are excellent. Most of the instruments in the mix were recorded by Staffan, I only added a few layers and effects for production reasons, once the composition was finished.

Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
Really cool track, kudos to you both! Silly question: since you're named "Elements of Synth" and the first track is "Wind", should we expect a theme and so some water, earth and fire next too?

Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
I really like this track! My favorite thing in the whole piece is that lovely binaural transition sound that is first heard at about 0:35. I'm guessing that was @jeanette_c's fingerprint. The super long intro and outro are also very cool. Nice work on the synths, @oscillator! Also, you found a great place for Kajsa's voice in the mix, and her harmony vocals add a lot. I'm doing a spinning workout while listening, and this song made me jump to a higher intensity.

Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
Hi @milo , yes that "binaural" thing isn't really, but it came out nicely. A bit of Csound trickery, white noise through a bandpass filter with rising frequency passed through a waveguide/Karplus Strong delay with rising pitch/shortening delay time passed through a phaser. Or did you mean the master passed through the Calf phaser?

Wow, this is really great. I think this collaboration got the best out of all contributors. There's not much more I can say about this.

Thank you both @folderol and @PieterPenninckx for listening and commenting!
It is fun to cooperate, and you always learn something new. We have another track in the works!

Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
Bravo, great track!
Finally got a minute to listen... A really nice journey for the ears, great motion and the 3D-ness of the mix even through decent Desktop Speakers is really enveloping. I love that gritty bass underneath everything just coming to a boil. Thoroughly enjoyable listen! Great Collab!

Re: Elements of Synth - Wind [electronic collaboration]
Well, I could not not (not2?) comment on this one, given it's from two Linuxmusicians whose music I enjoy a lot!
Unsurprising, it actually sounds as awesome as a collaboration between the two of you should sound!
@oscillator can write great, distinctive melodies, @jeanette_c is a superb engineer and both are great arrangers, of course this one is a banger! I think @jeanette_c pulled out an edge which is usually hidden in Dream of Seagulls track, pulling it more into the "alternative dance" field. Great track, ready for radio airplay tbh
