My piece is a remix of "Phrygiad" by @SharkWithLasers with "triad" by @lazenbeeindustries

It has a lovely spare pensive mood and could withstand a bit of redirection towards even more dreaminess. I used reversal, overlays, time stretching, GRM Shuffling and a bit of reverb a couple times to accomplish this.

Spring Cleaning [disquiet0533]

Different piece, but kind of on the same thought process - at least in my compositional conceptualization. This is still very much a work in progress. 

I continue to tinker with the idea of different perspectives - how the “same story” can be told by different people and vary slightly or a lot. I talked about the juxtaposition of natural vs. human-made.

I'm responding to everyone's feedback with this new composition, too. @gis_sweden said my previous track was like several short pieces. So I'm working through this piece differently. I have yet to record the vocal part, so this seems like a useless piece of information for those listening, but I started with the lyrics. My dad was recently diagnosed with dementia. And I keep thinking about memories. How do we share memories if we don't remember any more? Did we even have the same memories even if we experienced something together? 

Anyway, I ended up with sappy lyrics about the times we'd go to the beach in Chiba (we lived in Tokyo), how we'd play in the water all day and our skin would hurt in the bath, how we'd go buy kakigori (shaved ice) after we'd slipped under the futon, and how I insisted I'd get the same flavor as my dad, even though matcha was too bitter for me and I really just wanted the neon colored strawberry ...

When I at first worked on a melody with the lyrics, then set it to a bass line and drums, it ended up super mellow at 90 bpm in e minor ... Then, as fate would have it, my program crashed and I lost the entire piece. I took it as an opportunity to transform it into an upbeat piece, 130 bpm and in G major. So, a different way of tackling the conceptualization of the "same story" from various perspectives AND a way to respond to @gis_ sweden 's comment. 

I also wanted to work on feedback from @howthenightcame - on the notion of the natural vs. the human-made. So, I kept the mellow acoustic sound of the "original" piece in the first 16 bars while really pushing it to become a, well, 80's pop/dance tune.

Disquiet Junto Project 0546: Code Notes
The Assignment: Make music that includes a secret message.

I basically assigned distinct percussion/guitar riffs of 2 beats to each letter of the alphabet.  It felt a little dry so I added a little synth to every instance of the letter E.

The encoded phrase is "We must make our freedom by cutting holes in the fabric of this reality, by forging new realities which will, in turn, fashion us."  It's the first sentence in a longer passage by the anarchist collective, Crimethinc.  I ran across it in David Graeber's book, The Utopia of Rules.

which will, in turn, fashion us. (Disquiet 0546)
