Nice work Kev! When do you hear the competition results?
Nicely done! There a real width and sense of physical space at the start is very Star Wars. The base sounds make a for really effective tonal shift as well!
Thank you Alistair! According to the UJAM site, the winners will be announced, 4th June!
Stay Tuneful!
I appreciate your time and ears; thank you!
Stay Tuneful!

In the Google Meet chat for this week’s CYHMN (3 June 2026), @elerimorgan suggested that “innovate, don’t litigate” might be a possible lyric.
Which is my explanation for this nonsense: To the Lead Offender, purportedly by “Lawrence Soote and the Caesar Desiste Brass Band”.
The effects of legal action can be chilling
and might cause those who once respected you to fret.
So listen to a coalition of the willing
and put that motion in the deepest oubliette!
Offender! Offender!
I dare not speak your name!
Offender! Offender!
Go hang your head in shame!
Offender! Offender!
Now judgement day is near
shoot these silly notions to the upper stratosphere!
A better way to get attention
Is to build a new invention.
Innovate, don’t litigate,
and whistle your cares away!
Offender! Offender!
Oh won’t you double-check?
Your head’s so swollen now you have a problem with your neck!
Offender! Offender!
It’s a mistake to over-play
you need firmer footing than a double cut-a-way!

Something that came up after Storm Kristin that devastated hectares of pine forest in my region in Portugal.

Hey all! It has been very busy lately, but I have made a new synth signal path and created this cool darker sound. It’s moreso to demonstrate the sound, but I may try to make this into a track: Stream Dark by Noah Stockton | Listen online for free on SoundCloud

This is also lovely, can imagine a female humming a melody in there too in some places.

Really good 
it definitely conjures up the images of the scene you describe too.
thank you for your comment
That’s cool Noah what FX have you got on there so far? Or just a synth alone? Listening to that excerpt does make me curious to hear how it develops too 
Hey @leighrandle ! Hope you are well. So here is what I have for my synth chain: Synth into preamp (I am messing with infinistrip) start with going in mono, then into an amp sim, then I have a delay (the synth had delay, I am just adding dotted delay instead), then some eqing, then some harmonic delay, then I use two reverbs (a simple plate that’s at 15% in the mix to add some depth, then I do a modulated reverb as the main verb), then I run it through a sort of lofi plugin (rc-20 or SketchCassette II), then possible filtering (if additional needed), and lastly through the preamp but as stereo. I did a super deep dive into editing to have a fuller sound
