SONG 98 - Disquiet0700 - View Frame

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0704: Right on Cumulus. The Assignment: Compose 8-bit music inspired by a Cory Arcangel / Super Mario video.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0704 discussion thread on Lines:

Recorded a simple repetitive melody using a Casio VL-1 into Ableton Live. Took several tries since I’m not a very good keyboard player and it’s really easy to mess up on the tiny keys. Added reverb with Valhalla Supermassive using the “Happy Little Clouds” preset. This was fun, thanks!

artificial planet (disquiet0718)

While the far-flung Asarian homeworld is the first inhabited system that we've discovered, this is not our first time encountering the intelligent cloud beings of Asar. We've learned that Asarian explorers visited our earth thousands of years ago, touching down somewhere in the Nile river valley. When the gas giants finally departed, the Pharaoh whose hospitality they had enjoyed bestowed two gifts on her alien visitors. The first was a scroll with plans they could use to build their own pyramids back home. But the most remarkable gift was a papyrus describing a peculiar set of frequencies that, when resonated in certain sequences, could reveal spiritual and mathematical truths. We believe the audio captured by our surface drone may be a sacred performance of this ancient harmonic "spell".

This one was a lot of fun to put together! It gave me a great excuse to experiment with microtonal composition, and learn how to configure custom tunings in Logic. I chose the Maqam scale, a traditional scale in Arabic music believed to have originated in ancient Egypt. The scale consists of two "half-flats": in this case, A, B half-flat, C, D, E half-flat, F, G, and A. The main melodic line is typical for the scale, arcing from root to  octave and then descending again. The percussion was inspired by reading about Wahda w-Nuss rhythms.

Counting Heartbeats (Disquiet 0719)

a satellite, an outpost, an instrument in synchronous rotation with the earth. a watcher, a traveler, an extraterrestrial deity employed by hidden forces. mother culture brought from the skies. messages sent and received by way of interplanetary reverberations. all an attempt to please the celestial deities of weather and harvest with musical charms.  

performed on a rainy day under a gold gilded sky light at Better; For Living in San Francisco.
