But… who was that extra mourner? Or rather - *what* was he?

Hey, it’s Monday. So sue me.

Recorded and mixed live into AUM on iPad. No actual keyboards harmed during the making of this. And -NO AI!

Sketch For A Funeral

This track is based on a field recording made during a rainstorm on our balcony. The bells belong to the nearby church and were captured at one point in the recording. The drones were developed from the sound of a plane passing overhead.
These sounds were turned into instruments played by the generative MIDI sequencer Transition while the rain and birdsong recording plays.

This track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project, which proposed combining bells and drones.

This is AI-generated track art.

BELLS & DRONES

Electronic ambient / abstract experiment.

One track of real bells from my collection layered with Oberheim synth emulations: two bell-like synth patches and several drifting drones, both low and high.

A slightly unstable arpeggiator adds an off-tempo, almost tachycardic pulse beneath the texture.

Created during the afternoon of March 12th in Paris, France.

Composed and performed by DD.

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

Welcome to this evolving sound-space — part of a growing, organic ecosystem with a life of its own.

I explore the edges of music and not-music: texture, noise, chance, micro-sound, loops, ASMR drift, and tones that feel familiar in their strangeness. Some pieces lean musical, some lean perceptual — all of it is listening research in disguise.

This is where many of the more “music-shaped” experiments live — sketches, loop studies, ambient fragments, and sonic accidents that sometimes turn into worlds.

✨👂 Listen curiously
👀 Notice what your mind does
🔁 Loops, attention, texture, drift

For the full audio-visual + workshop side of the project — perceptual experiments, Atelier patch walkthroughs, and sound you can see — find me on YouTube http://youtube.com/@halfunusual

Same experiments. Different doorway.

Thanks for being here — your listens, follows, and support keep the lab lights on 🙏
