Feb 2022 s020622 skirmish songskirmish pretty synth synthwave dreamwave space
This skirmish had the prompt "pretty". I figured I wanted to go rather in the direction of "beautyful" and wanted to do something very 80s dream-sequency, something just slightly kitschy, with loads and loads of reverb.

I'm never not gonna listen to synthwave tracks.
Beautiful is fitting as these are indeed beautiful pads under that pretty lead.
Some of my favorite sounds.
Gentle synthwave just puts me in a relaxed and dreamy mood - def hits that dreamy-sequency spot you were going for.
I love that this was done so quickly for a skirmish but is a full production that stands on its own as a feature track. To get this atmosphere in such a short amount of time of working is awesome.

Woooaaah. I want to dance and sing to this. Indeed, beautiful melody. And I love the grove.
@che Feb 2022
Love this so much! The triplets are perfect. Melodies are simple and potent.
@cicpisces Feb 2022
yes very eighties sound with that new romantic edge to it. Beautiful to listen to. Nicely put together.
@misterdemp Feb 2022
Cool stuff, I found myself taking a few solos and playing along with the track.
@wurzelfrau Feb 2022
Unerwartet, wirklich. Und ich mag es sehr. Es kann außerdem nie genug 80er- Kitsch geben! Wunderbar!
@johnstaples Feb 2022
We'll, this is really beautiful! Such a huge sounds ape with so much interesting texture! I really enjoyed this!
@artie Feb 2022
Really pretty and quite enjoyable to listen to. Great use of the prompt!
@aeye Feb 2022
I've always wanted to try a skirmish but I honestly don't think I can convince myself to do it because of the time constraints and my stupid perfectionist tendencies. This is great for being done in a quick time period. Love the 80s vibes this gives off.
@stephubik Feb 2022
Als Kind der 80er find ich das natürlich ganz weit vorne großartig. Klingt wie etwas, was ein Outtake aus "Songs From The Big Chair" sein könnte :) Hach ja, und ich mag es.
@nadine Feb 2022
I don't like synthwave but the comeback is just made for you! Like how you mixed it up with triplet arpeggio and irregular beats. This is something new.
@paulroe Feb 2022
So many styles, moods, genres in this skirmish. This one is stretching my mind against its will into yet another direction! :-) We do want to dance amid the stars while this tune is tinkling on around us.. Kind of has 3 movements and a recapitulation in one fell swoop. Enjoyable.
@xjs Feb 2022
As always, love the brass! Really _pretty_, rich, plentiful synth sounds, while not too kitschy. :)
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Yeah, this big sounding! Great take on the prompt. Some love movement between sections, with lovely waterfall like arpeggiated patterns. Very, very nice.
@apolez3 Feb 2022
Sounds like a big production like it should be on a HUGE ASS SCREEN OR IN SOME KIND OF OPERA LIKE HOUSE PLAYING
@sunfire Feb 2022
I love the sound effects you created here.
@tcelliott Feb 2022
I like to feel the loads of reverb washing over me. And I think you nailed dream-sequency. You've got a good knack for dynamic changes. This progresses nicecly but ends a bit abruptly. What do you do in a skirmish, though?
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
You definitely captured the essence of what you were aiming for. Reminds me of some music I used to do gymnastics back in the late 70s/early 80s. Beautiful skirmish work!
@whispermouse Feb 2022
Love the Vangelis synths. Beautiful skirmish!
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Got that big powerful feel. Nice synths. A bit dreamy but has strength. Its a very nice piece of music.m
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
This has such a lovely, dreamy touch, in deed, partly almost hypnotic... It is true, the 80-ies had a special magic and fascination to themselves, which you captured in your music in a wonderful way...
@metalfoot Feb 2022
This does have the 80s soundtrack/dream sequence vibe like it could have been used in Labyrinth or the Neverending Story or some such.
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
I wasn't really into synthwave in the 80s (too many babies and dirty nappies flying around at the time), but I quite enjoyed this. I too enjoyed the middle section especially.
@porrectus Feb 2022
Cool, I like the triplet arpeggiation. The trombone patch in the middle was a nice change up from the synth sounds. Really nice balance. Great work!
@ryuu Feb 2022
Really beautiful dreamy atmosphere!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Ohhh… this is really lovely. I like the flowing layers. There is a dream like quality yet with the wonderful beat and bass it feels well-grounded in something tangible and palpable. I love how it swells and breaks down making room for different instrumental layers to shine through. It transports me to a beautiful place.
@pearlmanhattan Feb 2022
Nailed it! instantly seeing a John Hughes-esque montage with a fast car or a train - Risky business sorta thing! Zimmer would be proud! Well done! Great skirmish!
@frey Feb 2022
Layered really well!! Love the synths, sounds almost like a dream sequence
