Disquiet Junto Project 0457: System Alert

Thank you for listening.

“A letter in sound— To My Dearest.” 🎧💫

To My Dearest  sdmk Version  (original shiradow song)

Took the picture myself while at the beach. Sun and rain, and look at the child that made.

Sunshine and Rain

Song from the rock opera Five Thousand Sasquatch

Gold Colored Teacup

Nothing's gonna hold us back tonight,

menuju

Slow motion exploration of a sensual relationship. It's dark, it's sad, it's sexy. Well, I hope so...
Lyrics:
Fap fap, get ready for the splash
Esoteric fluid, evaporating blue
Give me the pleasure and the lash
In the glory of dawn, pale an new

Dans cette errance, je me sens perdue
Je m’offre à toi, sale et vaincue

Bang, bang, get ready for the crash
Forget the secrets you once knew
The darkness comes from the gash
Deep in my heart, through and through

Dans cette errance, je me sens perdue
Je m’offre à toi, sale et vaincue

(Spoken words)
The dark ambient instant we spent
Evaporates in your synthetic sweat
My conscience fades in the ultra-bass
You’re attracted, but I’m a mess.

Tap, Tap, taught me how to behave.
With you, I’m always ready to play.
Your dominant stance is what I crave.
You got me groaning and moaning all day

Dans cette errance, je me sens perdue
Tu me prends, sale et vaincue

Errance #5

Welcome to Palma, two bears in bed

haiku sounds #[(disquiet0457)]

Sound Systems for the HAIKU OS.

For junto0457 challenge.

Created  in Paris using samples of my Hang (hand pan) on Friday Oct 2nd at 10AM, Paris France.


There’s an operating system called Haiku. It’s open source.  The OS is currently running a contest for System Sounds.

Specifically sounds for:

General::
Beep
    A nice and soothing startup chime

Notifications:

    Information notification
    Important notification
    Error notification
    Progress notification (= the percentage of the progress bar gets updated)

Key/mouse events:

    Key up
    Key repeat
    Key down
    Keymap switch
    Mouse down
    Mouse up

Window events:

    Window activated
    Window close
    Window minimised
    Window open
    Window restored (= gets ‘unminimised’)
    Window zoomed (= when ‘zoom’ button (right widget in tab) is clicked)

I ended the set with the soothing welcome chime sound.

Haiku OS  Disquiet0457

Created for disquiet0457 System Alert. More on this project/prompt here: https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0457-system-alert/36824

As the offspring of two computer programmers, I've often thought of operating systems as a metaphor for a person's psyche. I interpreted this prompt via the name of the OS and by imagining system sounds for an OS that cultivates the peace, serenity, and contemplation I find in haikus and really all thoughtfully composed poetry/writing that invites introspection and acceptance of the multiplicity of meaning, which led me to thoughts of space travel and the idea of an OS that helps humanity to work together toward the collective effort of space travel for purposes of exploration and discovery in the absence of conquest, competition, and ego. All using samples from freesound.org (listed below), with some effects. The soundscape thus includes a mixture of gentle sounds, space ship sounds, and sounds reminiscent of related technologies with some linguistic/conceptual connection (e.g., a camera click for a mouse event).

And a haiku for this track:

windows are restored
events minimize the keys
notification

Forest Dream Soundset for Haiku - Disquiet0457

multi-instrumentalist & composer.
Genre fluid music for images / instrumental / contemporary post-fusion / experimental jazz / electro acoustic ambient / melodic noise / neoclassical / naive hard core / cosmopolitan world music.

bio here:
http://dedeland.com/daniel-diaz-bio/


In some words:
Composer, arranger, producer, multi-instrumentalist. Born in Argentina,
I studied music in Buenos Aires, New York, Boston, Los Angeles and Paris.

For 20 years, I developed an important career as a session and backing musician in Argentina and Europe, playing, among other instruments, the bass, touring and recording with many jazz, rock, fusion, world, Latin and tango bands.

At the same time, I worked as an arranger, producer and musical director with many projects and artists in the USA, Argentina and Europe.

From 1992 to 1997, I performed my compositions live with my own band in Buenos Aires and began a solo recording career with the worldwide release of my first album "The Years Alone" on the North American label Green Linnet/Xenophile. On this album I arranged and performed 11 of my songs written between 1986 and 1993. I played most of the instruments, but included guest appearances by some great South American players.

My recording career continued with "Segundo Ciclo" (1997), released worldwide by Timeless Records, and 12 more albums released between 2000 and 2016.

Currently, I work as an on-demand film/TV composer while continuing to play live and produce.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
