'Elektrostatik' is another quarantine piece, recorded "live" in June 2021 for an ongoing online concert series, but finally not streamed. It is a slowly evolving performance on modular synthesizer, theremin, and electromagnetic field microphone (induction coil). The title is the German word for electrostatics and refers to the static character of the sounds produced with the above mentioned electric devices and the stasis of the quarantine situation I tried to reflect on with this piece.

Elektrostatik

Using sustained tones and the spatial components of music to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. Melodies and harmonies occur through resonances and auditory illusions. It would be wonderful, if music had healing power. I hope it has.
Composed, played, recorded by Ausgesuchtestenohren 2022-23.
Mastered by Ausgesuchtestenohren 2023.

This track makes use of a stylised drawing of the word 'unusuaL', which is used as a filter on an original track. You can see exactly how the filter operates in the video @ https://youtu.be/RV0lPDF63oA

Disquiet Junto Project 0602: Choice Words
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that strives to express a specific word.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0602-choice-words/63203/4

Step 1: Choose a word — either a favorite word, or one at random from a dictionary, a book your reading, or any such source.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that expresses that word as best you can. Perhaps it communicates an underlying concept, or follows the shape of the word when spoken, or utilizes it as an extremely short lyric. Come up with your own approach, which might be determined by the word, rather than imposed on the word.

I used an online random word generator and got the word: torch.
I thought of an old style wooden torch that would burn very brightly before slowly going out and tried to express that with this short track. Hope you like it! Have a good day.

Saturated (disquiet0602)

I chose "gestalt" as my word for this challenge; the idea of the whole being more than the sum of its parts.

Three Sampleson Meta Pianos playing the same melody, only the first plays the melody over 4 bars, the second plays the same melody but over 3 bars, and the third plays it over 2.5 bars. As the rounds continue an echo and reverb are brought to bear.
