Disquiet Junto's 715th prompt was simple: record yourself making a mistake on purpose, and emphasize the error through repetition. 

Long-time readers will know that I favor narrative in my pieces, so I created a little vignette: we listen in on a frustrated pianist in a parlor, as she tries to improvise on a piano with a bad E4. (The piece was improvised, but it was refined over a couple of takes.) 

Features synthetic piano, organic vocal, and ambient field recording.

I found two tracks, each named by the default naming protocol of my recorder. So one file was poetically name "240315_001" and the other, even more evocatively, "241212_0001." The first is a sparse piece using just the wing pinger, with almost as much space as sound. The second is equally restrained, but darker and more properly ambient. I can't recall how I created that track or what instruments were used. The two tracks seem to complement one another with each filling in the empty spaces of the other. Minimal effects were added in Logic - mainly just some reverb with motion algorithms. For fun, I asked Chat GPT to use the two numbers to create a title and image for the track and among the suggestions was "Voltage Bloom," which seems rather fitting.

I create original experimental, postpunk, and experiential music from my studio in Chicago. The Hard Times described my work as "creepy, haunted, but also a little bit uplifting." Prolific.
