Skyros

The track opens with Heavy Waves, a flowing arpeggiated synth that sets the pace. It's soon joined by Watch Your Keys, a lush pad that adds warmth and depth. As the energy builds, Memory Cassette steps in with a bold lead line, while Saturn Squelch delivers a resonant, gliding bass foundation. The track culminates with both the lead and bass locking in together for a powerful finish.

Lay Down

The track opens with Seaside Fog, blending a soft pad simulating ambient sea noise. Buildup Drive adds a warm, distorted pad that gently lifts the mix, while Winter Seagull carries the lead with a brassy tone. Dark Glasses adds motion in the high end with a sharp, spiky arpeggiator.

Reynisfjara

A pair of layered key lines from Askja Trip and Octane Bells presets set the tone with noisy, slightly detuned textures. Deflating Balloon cuts through with a filtered lead, rough around the edges but controlled. Whistle Stack adds weight underneath with a resonant, distorted pad that swells in and out of focus.

Vibe Starter (preset)

Classic modulated keys meet sharp, stuttering tremolo for instant retro character. Precise delay and reverb expand the stereo image without overwhelming. Single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no additional processing.

Winter Seagull (preset)

Dynamic and organic preset blending modulated sawtooth with carefully balanced noise layers. Works equally well for atmospheric pads or expressive keyboard parts. Single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no additional processing.

Passing Clouds (preset)

A mellow, arpeggiated patch that transforms single monophonic notes into rich, full chords. The movement is entirely driven by the preset’s internal arpeggiator. Powered by a single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no additional processing.

Pulsar Bass (preset)

A deep, evolving bassline with rhythmic motion built right into the preset. The arpeggiator drives not just the notes, but also the filter movement for a dynamic, pulsing sound. Single instance of Psychedelic Synths. No external effects used.

Stereo Chatter (preset)

A playful lead with an oriental flair, soaked in lush delays and reverbs straight from the preset itself. No external processing—just a single instance of Psychedelic Synths doing all the work.

Wile E Peyote (preset)

Thick, hypnotic, and slow-moving, this rolling bass patch sets the stage for a heavy drop that never comes. All sound design comes from a single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no extra effects added.

Teardrop Reflection (preset)

A gritty, relentless delay pattern cuts through dual Feather Tone layers, each with distinct filter settings creating powerful contrast. Single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no additional processing.

Yellow Flower (preset)

Bright, uplifting preset with summer vibes. Fast rising arpeggiator combined with major 7th chord settings creates immediate melodic inspiration. Single instance of Psychedelic Synths, with no additional processing.
