Disquiet Junto Project 0511: Freeze Tag
The Assignment: Consider freezing (and thawing) as a metaphor for music production.

Step 1: One secret to cooking is freezing. Certain things, like chili for example, often taste better after spending time in the freezer. Technically, it isn’t just freezing that can intensify the flavors. It’s the thawing, too. Think about how that freezing (and thawing) might be employed metaphorically as a music production process.

Step 2: Record a new piece of music or rework an existing one based on your consideration of freezing (and thawing) as a metaphor in Step 1 above.

Closing The Fridge (disquiet0511)

While thinking about the prompt I realized that freezing described the way I make music quite well: sketching an idea, recording a snippet, and then putting it aside, mostly to be forgotten and never 'finished'.

I thus chose a track I made last winter, added some parts and let it thaw out in a warm bath of overdrive.
