Relight - A Synth Jam with the Blofeld and the Specular Tempus

A retrofuturistic synth jam, performed in an age when a stainless steel rocket has just been chosen to go to the moon. Exciting times. :)
================================
For those playing along at home:
The tempo is at 60 BPM, and the key is E major.
================================
About the title:
This one is space-flight related, and oddly specific. :)
In general, successfully relighting a spacecraft's engines is a cause for cheering at mission control. Because a) restarting a rocket motor is more tricky than restarting a car's engine, and b) if the engines fail to relight, things will go bad and / or explodey fast.
But, for me, the term "relight" is inseperable from the Everyday Astronaut's callout during Starship SN8's test flight.
I had stayed up late that night (CET) to watch together with hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world as SpaceX attempted a high-altitude test flight with a Starship prototype for the very first time. Watching the rocket master almost every single one of it's spectacular maneuvres at the first try was absolutely pure joy.
After the vessel came skydiving from 10 km up while moving itself precisely over the landing pad, having the engines relight to actually transition to the landing burn was just the cherry on top.
(And then the landing ALMOST went explosion-free. But hey, still an incredible success overall)
If you haven't seen the flight, I strongly recommend you watch the replay:
• I lost my mind watchin...
And if you're wondering why they fly this complicated maneuver, I'll also have to link this one:
• Why does Starship bell...
================================
Back to the music, here's the usual look behind the scenes:
Have a flowchart of the MIDI and audio signal flow! :D
Reface CP ⇒ PC ⇒ Blofeld ⇒ Specular Tempus ⇒ Audio Interface ⇒ Back to PC
The CP acts only as a MIDI keyboard this time. It does not make any sound itself, but it controls the Blofeld. I've set up the Blofeld's multimode so I can play different synth patches with the left and right hand. The only other noteworthy thing is, that I'm using a CC mapper between the two, so I can use my CP's Drive knob as a modwheel.

[@mr_floydst]

Awesome. I can hear some famous Sci Fi clues in this, but it's also clearly your trademark sound.

[@LanthanOIde]

Thanks, Floyd! That's just what I was aiming for. :)

[@miSynth]

great tone and mood as always - your playing led me to buy the specular tempus a couple years ago, still come back to you for inspiration

[@LanthanOIde]

Oh, that's cool! Very happy you like the sound!

[@How_much_where_and_When]

Top good ! You know, to wish, to get and to assess according to compare where, when and how much.

[@mikamulperi]

I really like your sound! Good job! Thinking of buying Blofeld...

[@LanthanOIde]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@scenario1236]

You still rocking this Synth/pedal/midi control combo solidifies my decision on the Blofeld as my next Synth. Love the Relight as inspiration and concept into music. Wonderful

[@LanthanOIde]

Yeah, the Blofeld and the ST are a pretty powerful duo. And I still haven't explored all it's possibilities.
Anyways, thanks for listening, of course! I'm pleased you enjoy the track! :)
