I totally love this restrained version. Wonderful piano-sound.

I prefer the feel of this one. Boiling it down has made the melody stronger. Cool DeDe.

Wistful, floating with this melody. Lovely!

This is brilliant! It is complex and so nice to listen. A peaceful and beautiful song.

“You said a moment ago that everybody you look at seems to be a rabbit,” says the doctor to his patient in a cartoon by James Thurber. “Now just what do you mean by that, Mrs. Sprague?” Meanwhile, Mrs. Sprague recoils in horror at the vision of her therapist’s enlarged, leporine head. 

There is a rabbit who lives in the underbrush just behind Suss Müsik headquarters. We’ve named her/him Clover. Clover has grown to be fairly large and tends to regard humans with more curiosity than fear. Still, Clover can still easily escape from predators when compelled. Perhaps Mrs. Sprague could take a leaf from Clover’s book.

The rabbit is viewed in Chinese tradition as a calm, gentle yet crafty animal, whose energy emphasizes balance and intelligence. The phrase jiǎo tù sān kū (狡兔三窟) loosely translates as “a cunning rabbit has three burrows and more than one means of escape." With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this is the approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto.

The piece begins with a gentle piano arpeggio, broken into three fragments that randomly shift cadences like a tone poem. A fake fretless bass moves things along until a DIY synth glitches things up. Brief stabs of percussion interrupt the calm, gentle atmosphere, yet the overall feeling is one of balance and crafty intelligence (or whatever the Suss Müsik equivalent would be).

The piece is titled Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū. The image is based on an etching owned by The Welcome Collection, the use of which is covered under Public Domain Mark (PDM) terms and conditions: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū [Disquiet0578]

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0578 (details see below): Make music for the year of the rabbit.

Everything started with the inspiring fieldrecording "rabbit drinking" (https://freesound.org/people/BeeProductive/sounds/376187/) kindly provided by BeeProductive on freesound.
I cut that recording into sections ressembling a drum-loop and built everything on top. Drums and bass follow the rabbit's rhythm of drinking, more instruments were added.
A song to celebrate the rabbit - also when drinking water!

Rabbit's Delight (Disquiet0578)

My contribution to Disquiet Junto 578: Rabbit Spirit Ally.

All done on an Teenage Engineering OP-1 apart from some final compression by u-he Presswerk and reverb from Valhalla Room. Mostly played live but the drums were sequenced.

The genre is hip-hop, naturally.

I made this in bed recovering from a chest infection. Just wanted something fun to cheer me up. And it did! :)

The sample at the start is from this film on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/TheNastyRabbit1964.mp4

The main melody came to me when I was thinking of the rhythm of a rabbit's walk.

Memory Serves

The Euclidean Chromaticon | Memory Serves - disquiet0579

This is a re-recording of my piece Hysteresis[1]. The original version was made using Meng Qi's WIngie2 resonator device as the sound source. In this version, I instead used my Implication Organ Csound instrument[2] as the sound source, but with the same pedals: dual Fat Fuzz Factories (one for each channel), Deluxe Memory Man with Hazarai, and Infinity looper. Like the original version, I recorded this as a single-take performance in my studio. I did some post-production (reverb, EQ, mastering) in Reaper.

Hysteresis (Implication Organ version)[disquiet0579]

This is a recent rework of a previously shared track, 
https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/silencio-first-demo-version

I reduced and simplified the arrangement and instrumentation, and I feel that this one's the good version for proper release (but I might be wrong), so it is my first 2023 single.


Shared on Feb/2nd/2023 for https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0579-memory-serves

This is the version I finally released,

Silencio (version 2) disquiet0579

This is two versions of 'New Cross'. The song I originally wrote in 1989 after my first year at university, and a version I've just recorded.

New Cross - revisited (disquiet0579)

Disquiet Junto Project 0579: Memory Serves
The Assignment: Rerecord a piece of music.

I chose https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/track/star-spawn from a 2017 release, which means I may have made it 2016 or 2015. 

Originally it was completely made with the compact DAW Caustic for Android. This time I used only the MIDI data export and rearranged it in Reaper with u-he Repro and Arturia Mellotron. 

Main objective was to get closer to my perception of the spirit of Berlin School style sequenced electronica. I put a lot of efforts in it and it is definitely more sophisticated. Nonetheless I'm not sure wether I really like it more than the original in every aspect. 

Artists name is now Etherkraken as he is my Berlin School personality, visible here: https://etherkraken.bandcamp.com/

Etherkraken: Star-spawned again [disquiet0579]

I decided to re-perfom / re-record my contribution to week [250](https://soundcloud.com/theatlasroom/drone-for-disquiet0250). Most contributions have made heavy use of samples, but this was one of the few based on midi.

I deleted all the existing instruments, piped the midi out to my Eurorack and recorded the results. The original project had a few audio FX chains, so i re-used them with the new tracks and made some more adjustments.

Erica Synths Midi CV -> ALA Pachinko -> Calsynth Rangoon + MI Plaits -> ALA Cumulus -> ALM Tangle

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.
