Synth Pieces to start out the New Year!

Hi all! It's been a bit since I posted on here. 

Today I'm bringing a couple synth pieces I composed. I've recently been inspired to work some more in this realm. So, I jumped into FL Studio and used some of Analog Lab V's great presets and instruments.

The first is called "Moving On"...it's a more uplifting and positive piece than I usually compose. In my mind I see someone moving on from a breakup | life change | childhood home and taking those first steps towards their own journey.

For the second piece, I titled it "Running Through the Dark". I leaned into a darker sound for this one, more horror oriented and intense. I envisioned someone in a dark forest running from an unseen force or being.

On both of these, I have tried some new mixing techniques to try and make things sound clearer and less jumbled.

Hope you enjoy the listens and can't wait to hear your feedback and what images these bring to you!

Hi Layne!  @layneleefilm

Nice synth pieces!  The synth sounds make me think of 80's movie OST's!  I recently saw the movie "Tron: Ares" which this reminds me of a little bit too.  Running through the dark with its echoing theme towards the end reminds me of Friday the 13th OST.  Did you put the wrong date in the title?  It says 1-2-25 and 1-3-25 but it's 2026 now!  Thanks for sharing and I hope you have a great year!

Hey! Thank you so much! First...yeah...force of habit on the date. I updated it, so thanks for pointing that out!

Definitely like hearing the comparison to 80s scores though! Those classic scores were definitely an inspiration on these, so glad that came across. It was fun to break into that feeling again, as opposed to orchestral. Plus, coming off the heels of the Stranger Things finale, I've been feeling drawn towards some synth-ier pieces lately.

Thanks for taking a few moments to listen!

nice.
