A cunning blend of trip hop beats, fat basslines, weird instruments from around the world and lyrics and vocals to carry you to a place you'd rather be

301025  MARCH - 30:10:2025, 5.00 am

This track came about from a lyric in the song 'Me and Bobby McGee' about "windshield wipers slappin' time". That was the basis of the rhythm which was augmented with percussion tapped out on an acoustic guitar and loosely inspired by Steve Gadd's drumming on '50 ways to leave your lover.' The whole thing wasn't completely unoriginal - the piano and chordal background came from an unsuccessful attempt at another piece which was stretched and repurposed. The clarinet melody is an original length, which means the emphases in the melody fall in different places with each iteration. Finally the melody is processed to sound as if it is mediated by different technologies to reinforce the slight theme of nostalgia. These technologies move through time from AM radio to vinyl to data-compressed digital.

****

Ah, tudo é símbolo e analogia!
O vento que passa, a noite que esfria,
São outra cousa que a noite e o vento –
Sombras de vida e de pensamento.

Tudo o que vemos é outra cousa.
A maré vasta, a maré ansiosa,
É o eco de outra maré que está
Onde é real o mundo que há.

Tudo que temos é esquecimento.
A noite fria, o passar do vento
São sombras de mãos, cujos gestos são
A ilusão madre desta ilusão.

*

Tudo transcende tudo.
E é mais real e menor do que é.

A Meeting Of Two Goths

Heute fege ich den Boden,
Haushaltsarbeit mag ich sehr.
Hurtig schwinge ich den Besen,
feiner Staub fliegt hin und her.
So geht es durch jedes Zimmer,
auch in dieser Ecke war ich schon.
Fegen lebt von Wiederholung,
wie aktive Meditation.

Ach, des Nachbars' Sauger
ist ein wahres Ungetüm:
durch die Wand kann man ihn hören,
Hund und Katze hassen ihn.
Ich bevorzuge den Besen,
der ist ruhig, brauch keinen Strom.
Heute fege ich den Boden -
aber das sagte ich ja schon...

I remixed/remangled/reimagined a previous ice-originated piece, one that had already been through numerous incarnations, all based on my original ice recording in 2013 (I think).

Interestingly, you can still hear moments of tinkling iciness buried in the noise…

The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something with it.

Welcome to a new year of Disquiet Junto communal music projects. This week’s project is as follows. It’s the same project we’ve begun each year with since the very first Junto project, way back in January 2012. The project is, per tradition, just this one step:

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.
