You are lost in the woods and you are afraid.  You finally get your courage and find a way out of the woods.

I am playing the nylon string guitar and via my keyboard controller the flute, solo cello, and the solo violin.  Band-in-a-Box is supplying the rest of the tracks.

I am my father's son
That can be said of me
Yes, the apple doesn't fall 
Very far from the tree 
It's sad we never found 
Common ground for our beliefs 
It seems that we would always just 
Agree to disagree 
You were right, and yes, you were so wrong
Oh, and so was I now I must break this chain
That's bound me for so long 

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
I know you felt, I'm not the man that I should be 
Now, things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Sons and the Fathers
Mothers and your daughters 
Has anyone but me ever felt this way
I know humility's the answer
Grudges are a cancer
That never let the dark clouds fade away

Time marches on past fields of broken dreams 
At times, I felt you weren't the man that I thought you should be 
Things that you would say and do 
I see them coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree 

Still, I have hope that some sunny day
That God will restore what we've thrown away
Until then, in my heart, I'll be
Believing somehow that you still love me

Time marches on through fields of broken dreams 
At times, we knew we weren't the men who we were meant to be 
The very things that you would say and do 
Now they're coming out of me
Sometimes, I wish this apple could have rolled 
A little farther from the tree

Farther From The Tree

FARTHER FROM THE TREE

Mixed Glitch(TPC279).WAV

Deep into the Forest of the Trolls is hidden the Bridge to the Garden of Magic.  Many have died trying to find it and only a few have succeeded.  Of those only a very few have crossed into the Garden of Magic.  But the fairies' soulful flute and vocals keep calling, luring and confusing all whom enter the forest.

I am playing the flute via my wind controller and the solo violin and vocal via my keyboard controller.  Band-in-a-Box and some purchased orchestral MIDI loops provide the backing tracks.

Bridge To The Garden Of Magic

I think this track is a failure, maybe not to the assignment, but to my expectations. A random word  generator gave mit the word „arise“, which I loved. My idea was to get the relaxed mood across of getting up on a lazy Saturday, waking up slowly, getting out of bed and getting started with the day. 

The track starts with a dreamy shortwave recording rising in pitch and drenched in reverb, then adds an organ at a slow pace. After a break, things start to get moving, more lines are introduced, finally the drums kick in… but as the track might be something I’d listen to on a Saturday morning, I couldn’t translate the music in my head. It’s just too flat. Still, fun was had ;-)

Disquiet Junto Project 0602: Choice Words 
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that strives to express a specific word.

Step 1: Choose a word — either a favorite word, or one at random from a dictionary, a book your reading, or any such source.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that expresses that word as best you can. Perhaps it communicates an underlying concept, or follows the shape of the word when spoken, or utilizes it as an extremely short lyric. Come up with your own approach, which might be determined by the word, rather than imposed on the word.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0602” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0602” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0602-choice-words/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

This track is a homage to the wonderful "Festival des deutschen Films", the film festival in Ludwigshafen on the banks of the Rhine (https://www.festival-des-deutschen-films.de/).
The beautiful saturday afternoon atmosphere was captured using digital recording and a vintage dictaphone. These recordings were then re-recorded using the KOMA Field Kit, using a tin biscuit box and contact microphones to add a new dimension. Further processing and effects were added afterwards.
A simple melody pays tribute to this outstanding event.
