For the #disquiet junto nr. 561, "Rework environmental sound recordings with Aphex Twin’s new software", I used "Bird call in spring" by jmiddlesworth, "Ambience, Night wildlife" by InspectorJ amd "Heavy Rain" by lebaston100. After some experimenting to find out how to get any sound at all out of this app, I just pressed Play and Record and this is the result. Now we know how Aphex Twin does it (and why it is so boring).

[No chorus] "EVERYONE ON THE PLANET FROWN!" - Sparta Slake Remix

I wrote this last summer when I learned about my father's dementia. I finally recorded the vocal tracks in January this year after I came back from Japan and saw my father for the first time since 2019. 

My father was diagnosed with dementia in July of 2022. My brother was the one who shared the news saying he and his wife had taken our father to a specialist. This had me thinking about memories and consciousness. How do we share memories if we can’t remember? Did we even have the same memories to begin with? Even if we experienced things together? 

I started with the lyrics before anything for this piece. I wrote about the running jokes I had with my father and my brother growing up. Catching crawfish in ponds in Tokyo near our apartment in Kokubunji, my father’s Sunday special natto omelet breakfast, the times we'd go to the beach in Chiba, how we'd play in the water all day and our sunburned skin would hurt in the bath. How my father would go buy kakigori after we'd slipped under the futon, how I insisted I'd get the same flavor as him even though matcha was too bitter for me and I really just wanted the neon red strawberry.

ザリガニ釣り
するめを付けて
家に大切に
連れ帰って

納豆オムレツ
キャッチボール
犬の散歩

毎年行った
岩地の海
波と１日遊んで
こんがり焼けて

並んだお布団に
入ってから
買ってきた　かき氷　
お父さんと一緒がいいと
言ったね
　
でも抹茶は苦かった　　　
本当はイチゴが欲しかった

後でみんなして笑ったよね

お父さんも同じ思い出なの？
無くさないで

Catching crawfish
with dried squid
Taking them home 
like some treasure.

Natto omelet
playing catch
walking the dogs.

Every summer we went
to the sea at Iwachi
Playing with waves all day
our skin acrisp.

Our futons lined up, tuckered away
You went and got us kakigori
I said I wanted the same flavor as Dad.

But matcha was too bitter
I wanted strawberry instead.
We all laughed at the end.

Dad, do you remember?
I hope you don't forget.
