Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

I started with a track I'm working on since months and which does not work for me. I threw away all but what was originally some kind of Rhodes basis. I rearranged it until I liked it more than the original fully instrumented version. It's now Dmin with only two 4-bar-progressions to Gm and back. It's 90bpm, 6/4. I see plenty of space for Drums, Leads, Vocals, Noises - have fun, if you like ;-)

The Patient Earthworm [disquiet0591] (The Loneliest Number)

The underlying drone C3-G3-F3 pattern was voiced with the Abstract Crystal Pads plugin from Samplescience. The Cm pentatonic bells are an FM patch in Kilohearts Phase Plant. The original tempo is 85bpm but there is plenty of scope to stretch time and/or chop to fit with lower register and percussion additions.
This track is part one of Disquiet Junto Project 0591 - to record the first part of a trio that will be subsequently downloaded and added to by other Disquiet members.

[disquiet0591] The Loneliest Number tt16tt

A pelican, living as a fresco on the facade of a house, far from its natural habitat. He dreams of getting away from the traffic, into nature.

This track has a meaning and a raison d'être of its own - but is intended as first part of an asynchronous trio as proposed by the Disquiet Junto Project 0591:

Disquiet Junto Project 0591: The Loneliest Number
 The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.
Please note: While this is the start of a three-part project, you can participate in one, two, or all three of the parts, which will occur over the next three weeks.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in.

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

The Loneliest Voices (disquiet0591)

This trio for one alto and two C flutes was inspired by a lecture titled "Georgia O'Keeffe's Radical Abstraction" in which one of O'Keeffe's works — Abstraction White Rose — was described as existing on a spectrum between realism and abstraction...or perhaps it is paradoxically both at the same time?

“Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.” — Georgia O'Keeffe

Sheet music available upon request.
All are welcome to use this piece as a basis for improvisation.
