Dreamscape, Pt. 8

What a lovely prompt... and a tough one! 

I’m bad at minimalism. Most of my tracks somewhat baroque (fancy excuse for „too dense“). For this assignment I tried to reduce wherever I could. Once again, working with silence is a thing I still need to learn. Spent two hours balancing between silence and notes with the help of of transient designers and gates. Brought the sounds-silent ratio down to maybe 60:40.

Disquiet Junto Project 0605: Fifty Fifty 
The Assignment: Compose a piece of music with as much silence as notes.

There’s just one step to this project:

Compose a piece of music with as much silence as notes.

(Thanks to Jason Richardson for having proposed it.)

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0605” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0605” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0605-fifty-fifty/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Horror Vacui [disquiet0605]

There are many bootlicking simps for the US empire. It's not entirely their fault; the empire has the most sophisticated propaganda machine ever devised and most westerners have been marinating in its influence their entire lives. But it does happen, and it's good to bring awareness to it.
Here then are 30 signs you might be an empire simp.

30 Signs You Might Be An Empire Simp

The primary job of both Hollywood and the mainstream western press is to is to put a friendly, normal-looking face on a globe-spanning empire which dominates the world using nonstop violence and coercion. Their job is to continually normalize freakish tyranny.

And if their job is to normalize the empire, then our job is to abnormalize it.

Abnormalize The Empire

I'm seeing Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy building up a lot of credibility in some antiwar circles, which is ridiculous because he's clearly just another disgusting warmonger. He is not meaningfully different from all the other warmongers in the DC swamp.

Vivek Ramaswamy Is Just Another Disgusting Warmonger

The British billionaire-owned newspaper The Telegraph has an appalling new article out which reads like a paid advertisement for a missile manufactured by Lockheed Martin. The title even sounds like it was written by a marketing team: "A war-winning swarm missile will knock China out of Taiwan - fast", subtitled "Rapid Dragon is a military gamechanger that provides the US Air Force with a crucial edge in the Pacific".

Part of growing up is learning that laws do not exist to prevent wrongdoing, they exist to keep society moving in an orderly way for the benefit of the world's worst perpetrators of wrongdoing. None of the world's worst people are in prison. Most of them are quite wealthy and respected, because they benefit from the abusive status quo that laws are set up to protect.

Laws Don't Exist To Prevent Wrongdoing
