Twenty-Four Hour Water-Bug (disquiet0703)

Quelenis is a musical journey through a moment of choice. At the heart of the piece lies a crossroads: one path is endless and mechanical, silent yet inevitable, embodying reason and structure. The other is a human, shadowed path—unpredictable, raw, and filled with emotion and desire.

True to Olttaoff’s signature exploration of duality in sound, Quelenis weaves IDM’s intricate beats along the path of the infinite, while the improvisational spirit of Jazz illuminates the dark, human side. The intertwining of these sonic worlds creates a labyrinth that challenges the listener, pulling them between logic and instinct, certainty and chaos.

In a world of diverging paths, which will you choose? Quelenis offers an immersive experience of choice and the depths of sound itself.

Update: An in-depth patch explanation tutorial video has just been released on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-7Sv6_Epr50 - if you're intrigued how this track was made, check it out 🤗

I wanted to see whether GRM Tools Atelier could do something a little more rhythmic ... It can! 😁 See the YouTube video of the patch (and an upcoming how it works) on the halF unusuaL YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/aY6TNXLZYec

Disquiet Junto 0721 invited us to provide musical accompaniment to a storm. 

This one made me think of my grandmother. She and I would sit in her glassed-in porch and drink tea while the storms of the Atlantic coastal summer raged outside, wind throwing sheets of rain against the windows, the sky purple with flashes of white, the thunder making the ground shake. 

She helped me understand the difference between awe and fear.

In recording this, I tried to be respectful of the storm as it happened. I did very little editing. I tried to give the storm plenty of room to move around in, saying what I needed to say in the spaces between the peals of thunder.
