I woke up with a simple idea - do the OPPOSITE of what I am supposed to do and then just reverse the whole track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0538: Guided Decompression
The Assignment: Get someone from tense to chill.

Step 1: Your goal with this piece is to guide someone from a place of intense stress to something more sedate. Keep that in mind.

Step 2: A lot of meditation-oriented music takes the end point as the start. Consider that it can be jarring to listen to calm music when you are anything but calm.

Step 3: Compose a piece of music that starts in a state of accelerated tension, allows the listener to align their own tension with that of the music, and then slowly proceeds to calm down, until the music is sustainably peaceful.

Stress into Rest (disquiet0538)

My wrist was hurting as a result of poor sleeping position choices - hence the title.  Every sound here originated with either my breath or the wind and no wrists were harmed during the making of this musical number.

Gimme Some Wrist (disquiet0539)

My breath and our cat, Lulu's, purring. The original recordings are subjected to distortions, gatings, and convolution and blackhole reverbs. They are also filtered with frequenies and resonances modulated by envelope followers on the breath/purr. The original breath is allowed into the mix here and there.

This is a simple study combining a steady 5/4 time with string parts in both 5/4 and 4/4.  I started with a piano part keeping a beat on 1 and 3 counts and added other parts as the piece progresses.  It is rather short but I am thinking about expanding this into a longer piece.  I found it very inspiring to shake up the time signature a little but Ableton does not like it very much!  Thanks again Marc for a fun and interesting challenge.
