This is my 50th Disquiet Junto contribution of the year!

The final Disquiet Junto prompt of the year invited us to make a short audio journal of the music and sounds that we've made in 2024. Once again I took liberties with some of the specific instructions but I knew that I needed to make it this way.

Features synthetic vocals as well as excerpt from the following songs:

* "Making Ice at Home May Seem Overwhelming" (Coraline Ada Ehmke)
* "Someone (or Something)" (Coraline Ada Ehmke)
* "Black Rainbow" (Sudre's Violin)
* "The Whirlwind" (Sudre's Violin)
* "Darker Layter" (Sudre's Violin)
* "The Mod" (Coraline Ada Ehmke)
* "Theme for A People's History of Tech" (Coraline Ada Ehmke)
* "Byzantine Valentine" (Coraline Ada Ehmke)
* "Perilous Overtones" (Sudre's Violin)
* "Why Can't You Fly?" (Sudre's Violin)
* "The Untimely Death of JF Sebastian" (The Disaster Society)

Audio Journal 2024 (disquiet0678)

Recorded, mixed & mastered on 28/29 Apr 2023 & 11 Jan 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa. 

Yesterday, thinking of this week's Haiku and Junto, I had an idea to go back to 2 days in 2023 to start a new album (second start today) & use the two tracks for this week as a starter. This would be similar to my work elsewhere where I have a long stretch of material to chop up into different tracks.

The original material is a bit of mystery to me - Ceclia, FL Studio, PaulXStretch, Reason, Thor, Fracture. I had something that was not close to being anything I wanted tonight. I changed direction and started two new MIDI tracks to run a metallic Collision and a Massive X bass. Then I went back to the first two tracks and applied Fragments and it gelled for me.
