Back after what seems like a rather long hiatus.

Take your time to take in this rumbling affair that I've been chiselling away at for quite a bit.

Hope it turns out a rewarding listening experience for you all!

And now for some delicious raw homemade monotony... Bon appétit

**Disquiet Junto Project 0675: Arc of the Drone**  
The Assignment: Record a drone that goes from simple to complex to simple.

Step 1: You may, yourself, be experienced recording drone music, or you may never have recorded any. You may not even be sure what drone music is, in which case read up a bit. Not matter your experience and familiarity, please give some thought as to what constitutes drone music.

Step 2: Now think about what makes a drone simple and what makes a drone complex.

Step 3: Now record a piece of drone music that begins simple, gets complex, and then gets simple again. And note: The simple drone at the end needn’t necessarily be the same sort of drone with which the piece opens.

Disquiet_Junto_0675] Short Dazzle

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.

My contribution to Junto Project 0683 - https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0683-space-shot/70693

The first half of the track I wanted to capture the spaciousness and mystery of a cavernous space station – brutalist in design, surrounded by mist. The second half I wanted to take a deep dive into the inner workings of the station, where we hear the isolated clicks of machines and robots discussing the work being done.
