I have mulliganed my OSC submission. Definitely not Chocolate Falafel. I wrote 3 songs with Tricent. It's a frustrating synth. The third is Infinite Repository. I will go with that one. Trying to now wait very late to submit. Thinking of any way I can improve stuff.

My top ten:

A Journey's End
Quiet Peace Enfolding
Space Needle Rain
Real Life Caricatures
Roller Rink

I Slept As Never Before
Neptunus
Infinite Repository
Rucker Park
"Tricent Ambient"

Top 5 are pretty decent. Perhaps the piano one is a bit repetitive considering it's piano. But I really enjoy listening it. I need to mess with Neptunus. I like it yet it got voted almost last place lol. I still really think it's a worthy song. I will really shorten it and lessen the detuned strings. Possibly knock it from 5.5 to just 3 minutes...... Rucker Park is maybe badly named. Maybe goes on too long. "Tricent Ambient" needs improved I think. Somehow. Needs a name I guess. Infinite Repository I like. Just not very happy with Tricent. I Slept As Never Before I also like. It didn't do well enough in the OSC. That has turned me against it. Someone said it was "slow". ...It's called I slept as never before, were you expecting EDM? Space Needle Rain the brass is still a little iffy to me. But Rink, End and Enfolding are damn perfect. I spent forever mastering End.

Guess I wrote 4 songs in last 3.5 weeks. A Journey's End. 5/4. But keep on revising.
Space Needle Rain. 9/8 and 4/4. Different from my usual. Almost twin peaks. My first 9/8.
Chocolate Falafel. For OSC. Not really a good one. Not the genre I want to do. Dislike Tricent vst. Submitted on 15th. Should wait till at least 25th.
Tricent Ambient. Probably should have submitted this. Again though, not quite happy with Tricent. I guess some people did decent stuff with it but I found it harsh and not versatile. So didn't want to spend too much time on it. But still should have waited longer.

I keep on making small revisions. I'd like to think I'm halfway to a decent O'Hearn like album. Maybe. Still need to improve. Enjoying odd times but I need to do more, change keys and times within songs. And more emulating.

Got 37th out of 51 for I slept as never before. It took quite a few weeks but I am gradually less enamored of it. 7/4 is nice and it has a pleasant feel. But still seems a tad slow and simple.
Applesauce starting 5/19/20 twice a day. Curious if it will cure actinic keratosis.
