I use this soundcloud more for putting up new tracks and experiments since I don't know how to rearrange the order of tracks here. For finished stuff and downloadable albums, check out my Free Music Archive profile http://freemusicarchive.org/music/junior85/

I have a bit of a running theme going at the moment with naming songs after the main synth I used on it. Last time round, it was the Yamaha SK-10. This time, it's U-he's fantastic TyrellN6. https://u-he.com/products/tyrelln6/
Here's where another running theme starts, this time a Blade Runner theme. This synth's name is a combination of Eldon Tyrell, founder of the Tyrell Corporation, and the N6 (or Nexus 6) replicants who were the pinnacle of android technology/rebelling robot slaves in the film.
The name of this synth always makes me think of the scene where Deckard meets Tyrell (and Rachael) for the first time and the enigmatic Tyrell asks him to demonstrate the Voight-Kamff test.
Tyrell asks him to see what a negative test looks like before he provides him with a positive.
What's that gonna prove, Deckard asks.
"...Indulge me", he replies.
I started this when I was deeply in love with a pop song. I listened to it hundreds of times. I loved the rhythm of the synths and how they intertwined with the drums, the space of it. This doesn't have a lot of space, but if you know the tune, the influence is probably pretty obvious.
It sat unfinished for a few years til Corona times kicked in. Here it is, a few weeks and about 30 BSODs later.
The name comes from the synth I used for it, the Yamaha SK-10. And that's it.
If anyone actually feels like buying it, I'm going to donate 100% of any sales. Here's the bandcamp link: https://junior85.bandcamp.com/track/eskay-ten
