Squeak Dreams (disquiet0568)

"Create a piece of music that begins with the hallmarks of a nightmare and then gradually transforms into a more positive piece through the use of piano chord C6/9."

Generated using Sonic Pi. Dissonant notes converge into the C6/9 chord, the timbre softens, the pace slows, and what was hellish becomes soothing.

Out of Chaos (disquiet0568)

[disquiet0568] Hippodream

This week's prompt was to create the sound of a nightmare that resolved to a soothing C6/9 chord.

I pretty much worked backwards, recording longtones on my melodica and then pitch-shifting them down to C2, E2, A2, and D3 (whether the sound of a melodica is soothing or not is up to your personal taste). Then I shmudged them up using various FX plug-ins that had wet/dry knobs.

I mapped the wet/dry mix to one macro knob in Ableton so the percentage of noise-causing would decrease at the same rate for each plugin.

It was a fun tour through my lesser-used plug-ins. Shout out to Puremagnetik, whose plug-ins showed up a lot in the various fx chains.

The image was created using DALL-E 2 with the prompt "lucid dreaming, slumber mill"

NonDisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569) by Daniel Burke.
Was reading a piece in a magazine at the end of a long trip up the Oregon River in 1997 about gratitude. The punchline was “the key to contentment is an attitude of gratitude”. Still working that 25 years later but grateful to have come across it, as it was needed and I have found it works. I continue to try to recognize and acknowledge as much as possible. This piece is dedicated to my wonderful wife Laurie who was delivered to my doorstep (literally) by some guardian angels (almost literally) just in the nick of time. Its a great story I won’t bore you with but suffice to say she is the best thing that has happened for me this lifetime and I express that as often as I can.
I started out thinking to make a piece as gentle and kind as she is, with a nod to the magical & beautiful music of the 1988 album Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro, which we both love. Music that inspired Oval, Microstoria the rest of the A-Music crew in Germany.

The piece quickly moved towards the Eno/Budd/Frippery I am increasingly falling into... Started with the Roland Jupiter-6 lovely marimba like patch and developed a theme which was played around with and replicated/altered with another track of digital piano. Added in an Arturia Analog IV Synclavier patch for a few slight synth/stringish swells, finally added 2 guitar overdubs and a few very distant field recordings made in Mexico and Spain.
