I am loving the dialog between the past and the present, in all its subtle detail.

its almost as if the music is environmental-:)...very cool!

this is a superb meditation on time. i love how you've reworked some magnetic memories from 1992, and this five minute progression encapsulates that idea of passing time. bravo.

LONGEST NIGHT
https://nothingispersonal.wordpress.com/2016/08/21/the-shadows-of-our-love/

hey, i dealt you a hand
a hand of wishes
but the staff for the ridge
found you no wood

and the water under the bridge
offended you to boot
and the whole thing fell through.

i dealt a hand
at the bank
of this sinking beach

a hand that stuck
trembling between the breaks
pressing against our feat.

alongside privilege
blind hope feigns abundance,
a deep self betrayal seats itself
and faces you in the audience –
my eyes on you…

deal the hand
that holds me now?
the bridge that held us then?

your distance is a moon
that lit up the longest night

and I won’t deal
and I won’t gamble;
I won’t pretend
to know your plight.

Hiding away again, Vera starts to feel her psychological stability falling apart.  She continues to pray to anything that will hear her pleas to save her from losing herself while trapped alone so far away from home, and no sign of hearing from Vincent and his team.

Lotus ((vv))

Can survive in a hostile environment.
Rarely opens itself to others.

"Lotus" was our main release from last year. This is a concept album about disease as a transformation agent. Musically, this is a psychedelic journey that covers Stoner, Far East, Cante Jondo, Freak Folk, European psychedelia and Krautrock.

You can get this EP on Bandcamp for less than the price of a coffee. All proceedings go to support other underground acts.

Feel So Blue

The Spanish Inquisition.

This song took longer to finish than I thought when I started. It is difficult to get the frequencies right so that all the sounds don't flow together into a mush. A good sound engineer knows the tricks we amateurs tear our hair out over.

As usual, I use Reason:

Samples are from bundled refills.
Massive use of Polar, dual pitch shifter and Synchronous, Timed effect modulator.

Primary synth is Pigments from Arturia:

Some mean sounds are made with Synclavier V from Arturia.

A guitar-only ambient offering for the Disquiet Junto Project 0611: Music That Listens to Itself

The Assignment: Record a piece of music that repurposes itself as it proceeds.

This has my present-day performance being overdubbed on to a recording I made decades ago. Which lends a new meaning to this week's call for music that "listens to itself" .

In order to select a launching pad to work off of, I had a search around my personal sound library and found a sample I recorded on my tape deck back in 1992. This starts off the track, fed through various delay instances in Logic. 

Onto that, I overdubbed three guitar tracks using different settings/modes on the Pladask Elektrisk Fabrikat, a granular sampler/delay that plays and re-plays what you feed into it, changing the sounds constantly through its internal algorithms as it goes along - and I also opted to make it sound even more organic by keeping fiddling with the knobs as the sounds played back. 
I went for particularly calm, slow movements, in order to achieve that "meditative" and "particularly quiet" quality Marc (@disquiet) called for.

I am particularly fond of the tension between the material from then vs the recordings made now. What you're hearing on top of that basic track is a kind of bass line and two more mid-range/trebly Fabrikat tracks. Et voilá!

Enjoy!
