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

One To Eight

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.
