Disquiet Junto Project 0606: Three to One 
Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.

More about this week's Disquiet Junto Project: https://disquiet.com/2023/08/10/disquiet-junto-project-0606-three-to-one/

Process notes: I used a probability gate (Count Modula's Chances module)to block 75% of clocks to the voices, on average over time. I took it as ok to let reverb tails count as silence. The resulting clip was brought into Reaper where I used a limiter on the master channel.

‚Scenery (feat. Ni!)’ is a polyphonic, genre-breaking piece. Mechanically percussive rhythm outlines, performed by prepared Pianos and analogue Synthesizers, combined with melodic phrases of woodwinds and brasses, build a hypnotic journey through the grounds of Minimal Music, Ambient, Jazz and Electronica.

The Flood Comes to Carchemish

A song about growth and support and deep, deep love. 

English translation after the Dutch lyrics:

Wat jij me leerde
is dat ik echwel lief kan zijn
ook al deed ik je steeds pijn.

Wat je me leerde
is dat zelfbeheersing loont
waar mijn woede normaal woont.

Ik mag zijn wie ik ben
maar wie ben ik dan?
Ben ik een pleaser en nep
en hoe komt dat dan?
Je stelt de juiste vragen
en geeft me alle tijd.
Ik mag mijn fouten maken
en ben wel klaar met spijt.

Wat je me leerde
is om naar mezelf te gaan
en geen punt over te slaan.

Wat je me leerde
is dat perfectie niet bestaat,
dat ‘t zelfs nergens op slaat

om te verlangen naar iets
wat ik nooit krijgen zal,
het zorgt alleen maar voor
dat ik steeds uiteindelijk val
en me kut voel over dingen
die ik nooit zal kunnen leren
en altijd maar die strijd
om mezelf weer te kalmeren.

Nee dat hoeft niet meer,
ook al ben ik er nog niet
het scheelt al wel veel verdriet.

Want je draagt mij
zoals ik dat ook zou willen
zonder energie verspillen
aan mijn buien en mijn grillen
of het zoeken naar geschillen.

Ja het komt wel
en we hebben alle tijd,
mijn lief ik wil je niet meer kwijt!

*************

What you taught me
is that I can be sweet
even though I kept hurting you.

What you taught me
is that self-control pays off
where my anger normally resides.

I can be who I am
but then, who am I?
Am I a pleaser and fake
and how did that happen?

You ask the right questions
and you give me all the time.
I'm allowed to make my mistakes
and I'm done with regrets.

What you taught me
is to go to myself
and not to miss a point.

What you taught me
is that perfection does not exist
that it doesn't even make sense.. 
...to long for something
that I will never have. 

It only results in 
that I always end up falling deep
and feel like crap about things
that I will never be able to learn.

And always the struggle afterwards
to calm myself down again...

No, that's not necessary anymore
even though I'm not there yet,
it already saves a lot of grief.

Because you carry me,
just as I would like
without wasting energy
to my moods and my whims
or seeking disputes.

Yes it will happen
and we have all the time,
My love, I don't want to lose you anymore!

Fascination

“Tome of Stars” is a 100 sonnet journey, equal parts art, therapy journal, and exorcism, both a celebration and an elegy, a single narrative arc tracing the birth and death of a relationship. All poetry by Stargazer. The verse and accompanying synthetic art and music are public domain, CC0, with no restrictions on use. Nothing is monetized. See below for links on how to access the print, PDF, audio, ePub, video, and music files. Website: tomeofstars.net

The third section of “Tome of Stars“ is “Sporogenesis“ , a haphazard chronicle of the years 2011–2020.  It marks a shift from the cataclysm of “Senescence“  into a period of withdrawal and emotional hibernation, its eleven sonnets seeking to reflect the padam of the collection’s bharatanatyam-inspired structure. Drawing its title from the biological process of spore formation, it becomes a metaphor for self-preservation: sealing fragments of love and self against a hostile world. 

“Dance, Stars!” is the first song in every album and is an outlier in “Tome of Stars”. Unlike the other poems, it was not composed through conventional inspiration but assembled from a word-frequency analysis of the manuscript. After completing the first drafts, the poet examined the text with automated tools to uncover unconscious repetitions and verbal ticks. From the ranked list of words, a new challenge suggested itself in the poet's mind: to fashion a poem by following the order of frequency while introducing only minimal grammatical adjustments.

***********
Lyrics
Dance, stars!
Grace bright cosmic souls,
endless hearts 
within lost skies.
Art flames upon star chains!
There lies Void’s 
sacred madness, 
a sweet, shattered
space of truth-pain.
Thus, kiss song-joy, magic mortal!
Beneath worlds, 
divine, sublime gods 
shall dawn tears 
in wild touch!
