Overland invites Succubass - 30 Novembre 2025

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was "Make some music using only the online Omnichord as your sound source."  I was vaguely but intimately aware of what an Omnichord was.  I noodled around with https://onlineomnichord.com/ and thought it was neat that typing letters played chords, and then I began experimenting with turning sentences into chord progressions.
I wrote a short poem that tried to be a concise poem and also an interesting sequence of chords. I found myself trying to repeat words and/or segments of letters, which is an interesting way to write.
I recorded the output (putting my phone next to my laptop speaker) and then added some piano accompaniment. I thought about creating a lead sheet for myself of the chords I used, but decided not to .... which may not have been a great decision :D  Finding a melody by ear was tough!
I started out trying to map the chord changes and the piano part to a strict pulse, but decided that having them both somewhat freely was more interesting. Sometimes the piano leads and the chords follow, and sometimes the chords lead.
Disquiet Juntos during the holiday season are a great opportunity to use plug-ins purchase on Black Friday, so I used Nudistort on the piano, and Aberrent DSP's Cataclysm and Lair on the pads.

a melody vanishes over time, then rhythm follows suit.

I am so out of the zone with audio/music/art making so this was like pulling teeth for me. But of course the Vince Guaraldi Trio's A Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack has been filling me with that melancholy/haunted Christmas feeling I find so cozy. I decided to play a loose rendition of the melody to Christmas Time Is Here over a slightly off-kilter chord layer. I didn't change anything about the chord layer to match the missing notes as they fell away so the timing and the dissonance get more chaotic. And then bells. Bells at the end because that's the only way you know it's Christmas music. 

Christmas time is here and gone (disquiet0728)

I found myself in an office supply store after dark, dark coming early this time of year, mid-December. The plan was to purchase some take-out Chinese food around the corner for dinner, but first came this errand. I wandered the aisles, items large and small on shelves that occasionally flirted with the emptiness one might associate with bankruptcy. A palpable emptiness defined the place, a single floor taking up a substantial portion of a city block, yet nearly devoid of people. There were two other customers: one on his phone, the other standing in a corner saying "hello" repeatedly in hopes of earning the attention of the two present employees, one of whom was stationed at the register, the other also wandering the aisles. At times the five of us were spread out as if we had claimed some portion of the known territory as our own. The customer who wasn’t saying “hello” was on his phone narrating his day to someone else, what seemed to be a close friend. This customer apologized to the friend for having been “irrespective” of his interlocutor’s recent emails. I wandered over to what I came to understand was my corner of the store, from which I could barely hear the repeated hellos or the phone conversation, and in that emptiness a sound caught my ear — two sounds, in fact: a pair of repetitive clicks. I drew closer to several rows of hanging backpacks, all connected by lengthy cabling, and each affixed by a plastic alarm. I came to understand that this clicking was somehow the result of the shoplifting-prevention system. The clicks circumnavigated the modest gallery of backpacks, the pair of them running at ever so slightly different speeds, so they came in and out of phase with each other. In the background, amid the muffled sound of traffic and the rumble of the HVAC, you can just make out people talking, and as well as the sharp ping of a distant cash register.
