Truly Alive (OSC 142 Vital) by Aaron Jasinski published on 2020-12-22T21:00:54Z KVRaudio.com's One Synth Challenge. All sounds created and programmed with Matt Tytel's amazing Vital synthesizer. That's right no singer was harmed in the production of this track. Vocals were programmed too. IN "Truly Alive" I wanted to channel the Cyberpunk ethos. The scene, a rainy dystopian city scape. An emotional AI pining for a love that can never return. Lyrics: The night is young, inside i wait alone Looking out upon the city and everything we sold Take the glory take the pain take it all if we're together if you could come back to me cuz one thing lasts for ever Will this last for ever? Time plays in revers I'm falling in love with the memory of you Shadows fill my dreams and when they leave all they leave is a memory of you You put your hand on my heart feel it beat in time with you the first time i feel truly alive magic all around comes true You put your hand on my heart feel it beat in time with you floating weightless through the stars magic all around comes true It's One A.M. outside I hear the rain Beating on the concrete beating on my heart again All i have are memories of when we were together We were dancing on the rainy streets one thing lasts for ever. You put your hand on my heart feel it beat in time with you the first time i feel truly alive magic all around comes true You put your hand on my heart feel it beat in time with you floating weightless through the stars magic all around comes true Genre Electronic Comment by SilverPants This is an awesome song. If I ever do EDM - I might have to ask you for production tips. You nail it. 2022-07-21T09:54:48Z Comment by Frank Geppert Amazing song with many surprises. I like the change between softer and harder parts. Especially the last quarter is so great. I would listen to a complete album of this style of music! 2022-05-23T08:58:24Z Comment by Michael Rempel 1 Nice. It would be interesting to hear it with a softer kick, and a wide open smooth toped reverb. Pushing it toward Sylenth space but not completely. Soft kick with hard bass synth is amazing. Forgive my old school ideas. 2021-03-19T00:49:51Z Comment by MauMon Bravo! 2021-02-12T23:57:57Z Comment by Loris this part is awesome 2021-01-16T23:53:42Z Comment by Loris solid mix 2021-01-16T23:51:05Z Comment by ontrackp Classic Jasinski production - very creative and your programming of the voice is remarkable. 2021-01-16T00:41:23Z Comment by zarf awesome concept and execution. the work you must have put in to those vocals paid off, more feeling than a lot of 'real' 'artists' for me :) 2021-01-15T12:07:28Z Comment by Benjamin_D I love how you re-contextualize those lyrics. all around really impressive work. 2021-01-12T23:18:29Z Comment by h.s.j.e. I loved the laid-back feel, but I was hoping we'd get some Jasinski maximalism before the end of it. Beautiful. 2021-01-12T14:18:16Z Comment by h.s.j.e. The ambience in the verses is terrific. The high, whispery lead and the crunchy toms really set a tone. You nailed the cyberpunk feel. 2021-01-12T14:16:21Z Comment by h.s.j.e. I'm working in other tabs while I listen on this run-through, and I heard the opening ambience, and perked straight up. Arresting start. 2021-01-12T14:12:32Z Comment by Robert Chavez This is sooo good! One of the best uses of the TTWT I've heard... 2021-01-12T08:20:04Z Comment by Milkster this right here 2021-01-11T22:26:36Z Comment by Milkster really amazing track J, not just the vocals but all the pitch bent strings and flanged? or phased synth lines too in the chorus are amazing 2021-01-11T22:25:00Z Comment by Milkster this guitar sound is insanely good 2021-01-11T22:23:31Z Comment by Milkster don't know how I've missed commenting on this one yet... 2021-01-11T22:22:21Z Comment by Frogs In Pants The vocals are surprisingly expressive. This phrase in particular gets under my skin. 2021-01-11T00:04:31Z Comment by JuergenK This is really a brilliant track!! 2021-01-09T17:37:30Z Comment by JuergenK Awesome use of the TTWT!!! 2021-01-09T17:36:09Z Comment by JuergenK Great start!! 2021-01-09T17:34:47Z Comment by ELEX Brilliant start, indeed. Great vocals, too. Really cool to have an OSC with lyrics :) Overall just an awesome track ! Lovely melodies, beautiful ebb and flow ; love the big warm sound and great patches. Esp.the acc. guitar caught my ear 2021-01-08T21:15:51Z Comment by opdobqo Now, this section is more like it. The earlier bit was nice and all, but this is more what I would expect from something that namechecks cyberpunk. More chop, more distortion, more dirt. 2021-01-08T10:05:26Z Comment by opdobqo Nice break. 2021-01-08T10:04:41Z Comment by opdobqo Transitioning back to the opening was a good choice. 2021-01-08T10:03:11Z Comment by opdobqo I do like that you've fully embraced the robotic nature of the TTWT. 2021-01-08T10:02:37Z Comment by opdobqo Lovely arps and chord progression through here. 2021-01-08T10:01:41Z Comment by opdobqo Rain 'n' thunder are excellent. And not too long, which is always the mistake. 2021-01-08T10:01:08Z Comment by 3lu5iv3 nice vocals. 2021-01-08T08:16:39Z Comment by Morphed Dreams awesome track, top quality production 2021-01-07T18:19:40Z
