Princess Pleiades vs The Cosmic Rays

I got inspired by deep house, Plastikman and movie scores. I like it when songs tell a story, go somewhere or find their own musical way. 
There's a lot of room for improvement and it's okay if you want to give some feedback, I really would appriciate it. 
Thanks for listening. 
Have a great day

I took a walk through the pedestrian area of Munich, namely Sendlinger Strasse. It was windy, and as the app used my noise-cancelling headset as its microphone, there are plenty of noises and dropouts in the recording... something you'd normally delete immediately. 

I wanted to make something tonal from this noisefest. 

The file underwent a treatment with Reaktors Molekular and Valhalla reverb. The accompanying chords and melodies come from S&A Landforms and Spectres, Spitfire BBC Orchestra, and the ever lovely Reaktor Snowflake ensemble. Nothing’s on grid, I tried to arrange the parts as they seemed to fit. It still feels a bit lopsided sound- and arrangement-wise, but that’s the Disquiet Junto: You only have a finite number of days to work on it (and that’s a good thing).

Disquiet Junto Project 0632: Shear Wind
The Assignment: Make the most of the disturbance within a field recording.

Step 1: Consider how when making a field recording, there can be disturbances in it, such as a passing car or plane, or a noise you didn’t notice until you listened back, or a malfunction in the recording equipment. A common such problem is wind shear.

Step 2: Make a recording that has wind shear in it, perhaps by standing in the wind, or recording from a moving vehicle, or through some other technique. Or locate a pre-existing field recording with wind shear, perhaps on freesound.org 1.

Step 3: Make a piece of music employing the recording you made in Step 2, and make the wind shear a focus of the piece. That is, pay attention to, rather than avoid, this sound that you would likely in other circumstances identify as a shortcoming.

Seven Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0632” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0632” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0632-shear-wind/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you.

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 12, 2024, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 8, 2024.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

Aokigahara (青木ヶ原), known as the Suicide Forest is a 35-square-kilometre forest that lies at the northwest base of Mount Fuji in Japan. Aokigahara forest is dense, shutting out all but the natural sounds of the forest itself. The forest has an historic association with demons in Japanese mythology, and it is a notoriously common suicide site. 

Duncan Ritchie explores the long journey to Aokigahara through soundscapes ripe with lonely pianos on textural backdrops. Duncan spent countless hours field recording on the voyage between Tokyo to Aokigahara which creates the perfect atmospheric companion to the intricate instrumental approach. This is a beautiful dark ambie

Collapse Project gained international acclaim. Their homage to VNV Nation's "When is the future" is liked and shared by the artists themselves. Their hit The Navigator is featured and supported by New Retro Wave - We Rule Nation. Their track Hawkins is playing on Stranger Things ESP. Collapse Project continues to drive and define the synergy between Synthwave and Darksynth with their modern production values, their unique style and take on the genre, and their melodies that are memorable and cinematic. With over 5 LP's and 3 EP's there is hours in retro neon goodness to discover: the dark and driving Follow The Wave LP, the epic and dreamy yet punchy Ride The Gridlines LP and Space Explorers LP,  the truly epic and cinematic Gauss Gunner EP.
