I love the tangible intensity of the way the violin is recorded, but also the intense, direct playing technique.  The performance pushes out new expressions of what the violin can do.

Nevertheless Again

Disquiet Junto Project 0606: Three to One 
Compose a piece of music with three times as much silence as sound.

More about this week's Disquiet Junto Project: https://disquiet.com/2023/08/10/disquiet-junto-project-0606-three-to-one/

Process notes: I used a probability gate (Count Modula's Chances module)to block 75% of clocks to the voices, on average over time. I took it as ok to let reverb tails count as silence. The resulting clip was brought into Reaper where I used a limiter on the master channel.

Ellison Maggot - Horror Moves Me Lyrics:

(Verse)
I never sleep I'm always awake
Think you can hide?
you'll never escape
My roadkill critters all ride for me
My massacre minions will cut your brakes 
You meet with me you number your days
Sometimes I'm sweet sometimes I'm crazed
A horror movie? Now thats a date!
A graveyard walk I'll lead the way!
The scary and terrible do something to me
The moon of Damocles continues to rule me
Aside from that its horror that truly moves me!(horror moves me)

(Chorus)
Horror movies, bloody screams and 
Shattered bones, 
piles of maggots, decrepit haunted homes
My life really is a movie(movie)
guess you could say that Horror moves me(horror moves me)
Horror moves me its a movie
guess you could say that Horror moves me(horror moves me)
Horror moves me

(Verse)

It's not that hard to see I mean look at me
My bodies not flesh nor plastic
Somewhere In between
All my animal friends have long been deceased
The eerie power within me causes them to walk and speak(get up!)
I give them tasks like herding humans for me
We watch you stumble while lurking high in the trees(laughing)
My daily life is a little bit gruesome 
I spare a few, sometimes I choose em
I watch plenty of horror films guess I'm a groupie(groupie)
Guess you could say horror moves me!(horror moves me)

(Chorus)
Horror movies, bloody screams and 
Shattered bones, 
piles of maggots, decrepit haunted homes
My life really is a movie
guess you could say that Horror moves me(horror moves me)
Horror moves me!
Tell me a scary story or share a film with me
I guess you could say...

(end)
