Love that dub feel here! Also great sound overall.

Disquiet Junto Project 0569: Think Thank
The Assignment: Make music inspired by something or someone you’re thankful for

Laurie Andersons "Big Science" was one of the first "avantgarde" LPs I owned in a time, when teens like me used to listen to Kim Wilde or so. I remember listening endlessly to especially "From The Air", "O Superman" and "Example #22". 

Since then the beginning of the "voice sample" from "Example #22" is what I speak into microphones to test them. And as I had a podcast recording this week, I started the track with a sample from this recording. 

I noodled it thru some granulators and added some other stuff. I absolutely wanted to add some "O superman"-vocoder-oh-ohs with a XILS V+ I bought last week (don't miss the 75% sales, especially the XILS 4 https://www.xils-lab.com/products/xils-4-p-148.html, and no, I'm not connected to Monsieur Oudin) and it nearly drove me insane to get Reaper and the V+ to run as a vocoder. But it worked. 

The resulting track may be considered as what I have in mind when I think of these tracks from Laurie Anderson, which I am thankful for. Please notice that it is 40 years since "Big Science" – wtf am I old …

Our House In The Middle Of A Mad House (disquiet0569)

[disquiet0569] Voices

NonDisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569) by Daniel Burke.
Was reading a piece in a magazine at the end of a long trip up the Oregon River in 1997 about gratitude. The punchline was “the key to contentment is an attitude of gratitude”. Still working that 25 years later but grateful to have come across it, as it was needed and I have found it works. I continue to try to recognize and acknowledge as much as possible. This piece is dedicated to my wonderful wife Laurie who was delivered to my doorstep (literally) by some guardian angels (almost literally) just in the nick of time. Its a great story I won’t bore you with but suffice to say she is the best thing that has happened for me this lifetime and I express that as often as I can.
I started out thinking to make a piece as gentle and kind as she is, with a nod to the magical & beautiful music of the 1988 album Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro, which we both love. Music that inspired Oval, Microstoria the rest of the A-Music crew in Germany.
https://nunocanavarro.bandcamp.com/album/plux-quba
The piece quickly moved towards the Eno/Budd/Frippery I am increasingly falling into... Started with the Roland Jupiter-6 lovely marimba like patch and developed a theme which was played around with and replicated/altered with another track of digital piano. Added in an Arturia Analog IV Synclavier patch for a few slight synth/stringish swells, finally added 2 guitar overdubs and a few very distant field recordings made in Mexico and Spain.

Nondisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569)

" Record a piece of music that does change keys"

This one I'm sharing is a track I've been working on since July 2022, eventually a week ago I decided to drop this take and start all over with a solo piano version. It has some key changes, not really sections but there's a permanent "unstable key" feel throughout.

Piano
Classical guitar
Drums (brushes)
Acoustic bass guitar
Wine glasses (background sequence)
Celesta (from sample library)
Synth pad
Key changes go like this:
1st bar E minor 
4th bar A minor
5th bar F# minor
8th bar B minor
9th bar G major
and then back to E minor for the coda.
All repeated twice in this version, with an extended coda.

falling feeling

During the early 1990s I studied Mathematics and Computer Science. The world wide web was still largely text-based and mostly empty. Today things are obviously different, though I still thoroughly enjoy art, design, cinema and music in all its forms. I have traveled all over the world for nearly two decades, visiting just over 140 countries. Japan is my favorite. All of this I attempt to incorporate into my music and art.
