New tracks from supporting MATRIXSYNTH member, James Newman's upcoming release, 'This side of the curse'. You can find track details including their inspirations for the videos further below.

"This will be the opening piece for a 9 piece album I'm working on inspired from Biblical ideas and truths/passages and in a Pink Floyd/Orchestral mixed style. The Album will be called 'This side of the curse'. Here is the song listings:

1) This side
2) Broken
3) Out of Sync
4) A minor moment of reason
5) Let me out of here
6) And we are not
7) The silence of grasping air
8) Another Floydian Slip
9) Flip side

PS...once again I'm using a lot of the Behringer Model D on this piece but using a variety of other softsynths as well as the Moog DFAM and Mother 32."

Video playlist:

1. This side

"This side" is a song about this side of the curse. We all know that life is not only challenging but also downright hard at times. Even in the best of times we can see that life has a way of working against us.

I believe this life is indeed under a curse and that we all long to be set free from that which we are bound under.

This piece is based from Genesis 3.

I hope you enjoy. :)

Best Ambient Synth Shootout #52: Access Virus A - Song 1

Published on Aug 17, 2018 Christian's Sonic Spaces

"This is the first song with the Access Virus A. It's a 12 voice polyphonic virtual analog synth with two OSC per voice and two independent resonant filters.

I used for the recording the following FX chain:
Access Virus A - Pigtronix Echolution 2 Deluxe - GFI System Specular Reverb 2 - Alesis 3630 (bassdrum on sidechains). Depending on the recorded track some FX are deactivated

The signal went through a small Behringer mixer into the pc for recording. To create the complete song I recorded consecutively several stereo tracks. The final song was then mastered with a bit EQ and compression on some tracks and some limiting on the master track."
