31. “Waiting Room”

by Objectman

Submitted for KVR Audio’s One Synth Challenge #15, this is my first entry into an electronic music competition and I’m pretty excited about it. We are only allowed to use one synthesiser and this time it’s Krakli’s FREE Stringz2 synth. The idea behind this tune is to conjure up feelings of the East. I recently bought a 3CD set of Russian music and it turns out that Sting’s “Russians” incorporates a few bars from Sergei’s Prokoviev’s “Lieutenant Kijé” suite. I’ve used a vaguely similar sequence in this.

STOP PRESS: I came 6th out of 12 in this competition, but the designer of the synth liked my piece so much that he emailed me to say so. He also gave me a link to his paid-for synths which I downloaded for free. So I kinda got something for my efforts.
