“You said a moment ago that everybody you look at seems to be a rabbit,” says the doctor to his patient in a cartoon by James Thurber. “Now just what do you mean by that, Mrs. Sprague?” Meanwhile, Mrs. Sprague recoils in horror at the vision of her therapist’s enlarged, leporine head. 

There is a rabbit who lives in the underbrush just behind Suss Müsik headquarters. We’ve named her/him Clover. Clover has grown to be fairly large and tends to regard humans with more curiosity than fear. Still, Clover can still easily escape from predators when compelled. Perhaps Mrs. Sprague could take a leaf from Clover’s book.

The rabbit is viewed in Chinese tradition as a calm, gentle yet crafty animal, whose energy emphasizes balance and intelligence. The phrase jiǎo tù sān kū (狡兔三窟) loosely translates as “a cunning rabbit has three burrows and more than one means of escape." With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, this is the approach Suss Müsik took with this week’s Junto.

The piece begins with a gentle piano arpeggio, broken into three fragments that randomly shift cadences like a tone poem. A fake fretless bass moves things along until a DIY synth glitches things up. Brief stabs of percussion interrupt the calm, gentle atmosphere, yet the overall feeling is one of balance and crafty intelligence (or whatever the Suss Müsik equivalent would be).

The piece is titled Jiǎo Tù Sān Kū. The image is based on an etching owned by The Welcome Collection, the use of which is covered under Public Domain Mark (PDM) terms and conditions: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/mark/1.0

My Year As A Monkey (disquiet0578)

This was my contribution for the Disquiet Junto Project 0578: Rabbit Spirit Ally.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0578 discussion thread:
Rather than go with the rabbit, I selected my birth animal, the horse. I started to work on a piece that morphed into a loose western-style theme a few months ago, but stopped and put it on the back burner since I wasn’t sure how to proceed. Figured this assignment was a good opportunity to finally complete it. The slightly off tempo percussion, reminds me of soundtracks from old westerns depicting horses walking along dusty trails. I’ll probably create a video with this music at some point.

This was done in Ableton Live mainly using Slate+Ash Choreographs along with some simple notes from a SX2 lap steel guitar. Palomino photo by Colt Parent on Unsplash. Hope everyone has a healthy, happy and fruitful Lunar New Year.
