An experiment with broken beats and wide delayed synths.

Thanks! I enjoyed that and look forward to listening to the rest of your SC projects. Maybe list the synths used?

bftucker, thank you for listening!

The synhs are:

Sylenth: the delayed/filtered chords
Diva: the arpeggiated sequences in the middle
Spire: the bass and the chord sequence in the breakdown
Dune2: the chord sequence in the middle, and the delayed chord stab in the intro and outro patrts
Zebra, Saurus, Harmor, Massive, TAL Bassline-101: some random sweeps and squelches here and there
Absynth: background atmospheres.

So, I've used almost all my synths on this one

You have some very cool sounding synths RC! I think the title is very apt for this track. It sound great and suits the title perfectly. Well done!

Awesome reverb what ever it is.

Synth ear candy! Yummy.

It's a little a unfocused at almost 10 minutes but it sounds so cool I hung in there for the whole thing. In fact, I'll give it another listen.

Thank you, guys!

Funny thing with the title, when I had the first synthline and a draft beat, I already knew that it will be called 'Hivemind" (I usually struggle to find a song title that would be somehow related to the song itself or at least wouldn't sound stupid).

May be unfocused ... That's a genre, kind of beat-driven ambient, this time I decided to go without a prominent melody.

The reverb is Valhalla Vintage Verb, I use this one in 95% cases.

Nice drums, really enjoyed that this song goes quite a bit of different places. I like a little bit of a sonic journey

Diva and zebra...but for some reason I expected Hive as well.

Sounds great, no wonder you use it a lot!

Codestation, thanks for your feedback!

bftucker, yep, I should have added a disclaimer that this song contains no Hive.

I don't have Hive, it's a fine synth (and I love U-he), but there is too much overlap with my Sylenth and Diva.

Great sounds all the way through, my favourite part was between 3:08 and 7:00 when the piece really came together, with the gated synth and the sequenced synth sitting over the top of the pleasing chord sequence.

Good work
