Disquiet Junto Project 0680: Reverse Resolution

Morgengrauen

ROSAS

Shores Of Pangea

Dictaphone Disquiet0680

I started and abandoned this track consistently during 2024, never finished it, never been sure about it but there's something I do like. The modulations are fun and clever, I think,  smooth and yet surprising and effective. I recorded several guitar takes over the year (each time I had a guitar recording session I gave this a fresh tray). I wanted this to be a "guitar" showcase, but eventually made it a full keyboards+bass+guitar+drums track.
The final guitar is an edit from 3 takes I did on a 6 month period, the one with volume pedal is nice.
So the title and the melodic motif (nicked from "Summer of '42") have been on my "to do" list for a couple of years, the actual performance comes  from 2024.
I took that photo in Costa Rica on February 2020.

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.
