Surrounded by and giving life to one of the northern-most, temperate rainforests in the world, the Pacific Northwest's chalak’At’sit (Hoh River) carves its way from the glaciers of Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast.

Close your eyes and let the soundscape of chalak’At’sit envelope you in her emerald, verdant embrace. Layered embers of ethereal tones flicker, then quickly disappear across undulating waves of pirouetting idiophonic vibrations. Thus begins a psychedelic trip through exothermic rainforest-scapes and climaxes nestled in lush, majestic reverie.

Headphone listening recommended, for the sonic details.
The immersive audio-visual trip is best viewed in HD on Youtube:

Live in the studio improvisation:
daniel diaz: electric bass guitar
andré charlier: drums

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0455: Inner Invertebrate
The Assignment: What does a moment (or a day) in the life of a jellyfish sound like to a jellyfish?

I hate to be lazy and use something I was working on instead of something new sparked by the actual challenge, but sometimes time is our tyrant and I was fascinated by this forgotten masters, some live-in-the-studio improvisations with awesome French drummer André Charlier that I discovered some days ago.
Captured while we were warming up for a recording session years ago. This was on tape but never used nor listened to, and I've been taking some nice bits out of it for further use. These are all ad-lib, abstract and weird soundscapes, no groovy bass 'n drums at all.
This is an abstract, floating groove-less & creepy track.

And I think it fits the challenge perfectly cause, o be honest:

- Invertebrate folks listen to beat-less music, I'm pretty sure. 
- Jelly fish are creepy little  beings.

I don't know why, but I can't help to think that a moment in the live of a jellyfish would sound to the jellyfish like a Buchla under water.

Solo upright bass
Harmonica
Synthesizers and Fx.

For this challenge:
Disquiet Junto Project 0456: Line Up
The Assignment: Interpret a painting by Agnes Martin as if it were a graphic score.

Step 1: Look at the work of painter Agnes Martin, best known for her parallel lines.

Step 2: Select an individual work that suggests itself to you as a musical score.

My imagination is not flamboyant today, I just went for some linear playing, both an upright bass linear impro and an harmonica and synth simple straight drone.

Parallel Lines (disquiet0456)

Wednesday night, playing with loops, one seven beats long, the other eight, then layering occasional accent notes. Fade in and out just turning the knob on the amp once the loops were left to their looping. Recorded to phone put in front of the amp. Not sure why the eight-beat loop is more prominent than the seven-beat one, except perhaps that it's in 4/4 so the brain registers it more easily. Also not sure about that one hiccup at :46 seconds. Something suddenly went out of alignment and then came just as suddenly back into alignment. The bit at the very end isn't a tape cassette stopping. It just sounds like that.

Wednesday Loops

Another experiment with electric guitar loops. The main difference between today's and yesterday's (https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/passing-waves) is that yesterday's was recorded serial, so anything coming from the first loop also appeared in the second loop. That gave it a certain density, but, well, it also gave it a certain density. This was recorded in parallel, meaning whichever looper was recording at a given moment was only recording what was being played by the guitar, not what happened to be coming out of the other looper. This means the density took quite a while longer to achieve, but also that the individual segments are much more distinct, even after density has accrued. Also, the loops are quite a bit longer. Recorded from stereo speakers into a phone (yesterday was from a mono amp), though I'm not sure if the separation is particularly apparent. Major noise reduction in Adobe Audition, and a tiny amount of reverb.

This is my submission for this week's Disquiet assignment.

The two people playing together here are different instances of myself -- the experimental electronics guy of recent years, and the "traditional" guitarist of yesteryear. They had this jam when they met.

Enjoy the duo, and here's some more insight about this project:

Disquiet Junto Project 0469: [Missing in Caption]. The Assignment: Make music that pushes the constraints of descriptive television captions.

In one scene of this old war movie, the man is saying goodbye to go to another well-founded, short and successful war, and his wife is deeply worried.

The bells call to battle, the wife struggles to find parting words, and even the worn-out VHS tape is deeply moved.

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.
