I sat down to make music with the intention of finding a way to express my emotions at the moment, and I was confronted with a wall of mental noise, presented to me by all the music technology at my disposal. While I struggled to find my heart, my mind was busy thinking about technology and technique. After a bit of discussion with @dr.no and @Hawthorn, decided to run with that as the concept for the piece. This is the result. 

I decided to also take inspiration from #disquiet0460 and start with a tortured, complicated sound (evocative of the mental "noise" that comes from using music tech for expression) and transitions to the starting point, then returns to the chaos. 

I started with a simple arpeggio on a nylon guitar (which I later changed to a synth sound). Added a Bitwig Micro-pitch device set to an obscure Wilson scale, and added a send track with Output Portal (granulated pitch transformations in this case) & Thermal (more glitchy feedback fx) on it. Added automation to start with Micro-pitch wet, FX send volume, and global tempo set very high, decrescendo, and then re-crescendo, over the course of the track.

Hyper gaming or chilling track that will get you pumped.

AMAZING GRACE
        -By John Newton

1.	Amazing grace! how 
                   C
sweet the sound,
           Am         D                   G
  That saved a wretch; like me!
  C                                F
I once was lost, but now am 
C                   Am             F      G  C
found, Was blind, but now I see.
                C
2. ’Twas grace that taught my 
F              C                Am           D
heart to fear,  And grace my fears
     G                    C
 relieved;  How precious did that 
F          C           Am             F
grace appear  The hour I first 
G  C
believed!

C                          C7
Through many dangers
F                C
Toils and snares
  Am       D         G
I have already come
       C
'Tis grace hath brought
      F                C
me safe thus far
         Am           F       G    C
And grace will lead me home
         C                               C7
4.	When we’ve been there ten 
F                C                     Am        D
thousand years, Bright shining as 
        G      C                       
the sun,  We’ve no less days to 
F                  C
sing God’s praise 
          Am            F     G  C
Than when we first begun.

Listen w 🎧👂🏾pls) 🚀🕊 This arrangement’s conception was originally to be a ‘lighter’ cover, but with recent events, honestly, producing this gave me solace from the reality of my frustration, sadness, disappointment, and a deep dive into my vivid imagination. I flipped this song into my motivation, to keep me moving forward, to remember that I come from resillent stock. I kept imaging a utopia for Black bodies to thrive without constant violence against them, simply for existing. A utopia where humans, no matter their ethnic background, wouldn’t be devalued because of their skin color, nor origin, but be accepted & celebrated for their uniqueness — to only be seen by their spirit. Like @lennykravitz said, "𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘭𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘖𝘯𝘦." I want to see a world where we do more collaborating and less isolating. I want to see real support for Black women, the same way that Black women always have, and always will give to ALL others. I imagine a world where Black bodies aren’t snatched up by the institution that is whiteness, and the collective energy for change really shifts our culture of fear and depression to abundance and the sharing of resources; where Black, Brown, & Indigenous peoples have institutional support and care. In the meantime, I will continue to strive for Black Joy, and choose the radical act of taking care of myself. Remembering Dr. MLK & Coretta Scott King on this day, and uplifting all of whom feel disheartened by these times. I see you 🖤🚀🕊✈️
