A lot of tension layed out in close distance to a narrative core. Intense!

Sci-fi author William Gibson suggested that in the blackest depths of cyberspace, the line between rogue AIs and supernatural beings - for instance, the Loa of Haitian and Louisianan Voodoo - grows thin. 

This image appeared as the final iteration of the ‘negative space’ created by an AI art program prompted to produce ‘the opposite of Marlon Brando’. Wording in the scene apparently read ‘Loab.’ Repeated iterations took the image into ever darker scenes of gore and horror. Disturbingly, any sufficiently determined exploration of ‘negative space’, from *any* source, seemed always to arrive ultimately at ‘Loab’, in a scene of horror.  Researchers are at a loss to understand why the image recurs, or why it named itself ‘Loab’.

And thus, the first true demon of the AI age reveals itself to us, invoked through the incantatory magic of prompt engineering.

Same As It Ever Was

“Take the sound of the stone aging.” At first I thought about this in the geological sense. Then I came to the conclusion that aging basically just means living. So what are stones up to when they live their secret lives when nobody is watching? What’s their sound? I imagined it being something cheeky and a little funky, kind of slow but danceable.

Disquiet0643 - Cheeky Stones Funk

“Take the sound of the stone aging.”
Yoko Ono

Stones are the witnesses of: There are still deep connections to the archaic stories of our ancestors. We see the same skies, taste the same winds and tell the same stories about who we were and who we will become.

Stepping into the stones’s and sediments perspective: being exposed to the elements for ages and excavated, listening to the meandering tales of mankind.

tales from the archaic (disquiet0643)

This track explores minimalism by utilizing just two simple csound instruments. Though each instrument consists only of an oscillator, a filter, and some distortion, they combine to create a sufficiently rich sonic palette using variations of the C# note across different octaves.

Ignota Gens - Disquiet0643

This track was inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project: Putting the ageing of a stone into music.
Stones can live for a very long time, but there are also external influences on a much shorter time scale. In my composition I included the monotonous phases, but also these external events, and tried to put them into appropriate music.

Water, waves and wind erode the coastline, wearing away rocks, breaking stones and polishing pebbles. The stones age.

L'eau, les vagues, le vent, érodent le littoral, use les rochers, brisent les pierres, polissent les galets. Les pierres vieillissent.

Stone Out of focus - Earth Extract is my take on amplifying world vibration that are not perceptible. Wavetable, dissonance and harmonies.

disquiet0643 - Earth Extract

This is a conglomerate of all 3 types of stone into one.

Thinking about what type of stone, what timescale etc, I decided to create different interpretations based on creation of various different stone types… created using soft synths and fx on an iPad
