both instruments sound beautiful. You've got the ultimate "open space convolusion reverb" here !

A long overdue mix for a never-ending work in progress.
Guitars, bass, drum beats

Reverse Signal(disquiet0532)

When is helpful not to talk?
Connecting to the natural world.

Early morning I walked up into the bush, with my clarinet, flute and a sound recorder. I pressed record and walked through the trees across the side of the valley to play clarinet from a distance, silenced my mind a aimed to let the trees speak through the clarinet. Then reversed positions with the recorder and tried to 'talk' with the birds.

If We Stop Talking To Ourselves We Can Hear The Others [disquiet0532]

In 1997, members of a religious cult called Heaven’s Gate believed that the passing of the Hale-Bopp comet would be followed by a spaceship. Convinced that the spaceship would take “true believers” aboard to the Afterlife, several members bought an expensive telescope to gain a better view of the comet. Within days, they requested a refund; when asked why they returned the telescope, they complained that the item was defective because it didn’t show the spaceship in the comet’s wake. Shortly thereafter, all 39 members of the cult killed themselves. 

Cognitive dissonance is a term coined by psychologist Leon Festinger to describe the state when a person’s beliefs and behavior contradict one another. It manifests itself in various ways, from what we eat to how we vote. The COVID-19 pandemic was a breeding ground for cognitive dissonance; political and cultural biases invaded factual discourse, impeding our capacity to solve a global condition whose reverberations persist to this day.

Suss Müsik sought to explore the vexatious nature of dissonance using DIY-glitch technologies and manipulated vocalizations. Sounds emitted from handmade devices were recorded to tape and “performed” using a hacked cassette Sony Walkman. The most interesting bits were sampled into loops and run through a grain synth engine. The vocal effect (which features a sample of psychologist Dr. Dan P. McAdams) recalls that of sound art pioneer Alvin Lucier, whose seminal piece I Am Sitting In A Room suggests a new form of musicality: spoken words verbalized and abstracted, the non-tonic becoming tonic and back again.

The piece is titled Festinger and was recorded live to 8-track.

Dont Wanna Talk About It (disquiet0532)

Saying Nothing (disquiet0532)

Speech is broken music. Words contaminate the acoustic space with meaning and will, and there’s no grace in will.

Disquiet Junto Project 0532: Other Means
The Assignment: Make music about something you find difficult or unproductive to talk about.

I pulled some cables out of my AEmodular and opened Reaper to start with a new one. Suddenly I heard some noises from the half wrecked patch (could be Junto of it's own, btw) and they somehow suggested themself for disquiet0532. I recorded them, did some stacking and fx, and at the end I looked for the track title.

from 'disquiet III'

So, I had this idea for a track, and [disquiet0532]

This week's Disquiet project asked us to thin k about times when talking doesn't help. I thought about the way corporations are now talking about "mental health" and "mindfulness" and I think that they might be better thinking about how they could pay us better and reduce our working hours. So this is in tribute to corporate "mindfulness".

three step breathing [disquiet0532]

I am a human animal & through my creative practices seek to connect to the flow of life to let my innate intuition guide me before my logical mind controls me. To undo or at least side-step some of my cultural conditioning so the spirits of the place I am in can express through me. This  forest I am in, the rock I sit on beside this stream, the footpath below my feet, this vast planet we all live upon. The natural world so often unconsidered, ignored, I aim to give it some voice.
