unlike the first version (recorded in 2020) the introduction is missing with that fantastic Pad-style sound which was actually a sample I recorded of a jute piece of furniture, the same sample used for the song precisely called: Juta.
here the piano part, unlike the first version which was more focused on the search for harmonic contrasts, is actually performed and I had to give up many notes (which for technical reasons I am not able to perform) and I don't even know if it is really possible for someone... I have been practicing it for some time and I still do it almost every day in performance and for some time I have wanted a new recording made properly with my hands on the keyboard.
You can find the first version here, in case you want to compare the two versions:

Don't Forget To Breathe (whatever Happens) _*Solo Piano

The last track of the EP. Just chill. The most relaxing one I made (pretty fast and naturally by the way) in between the process of making the other tracks. I think this is a nice finale after such a heavy trip through my mind, thoughts and emotions (if you listened to everything in the order of the EP).

Floating Mind

Lots of great duos to choose from -- so went for adding ingredients to https://on.soundcloud.com/yEVsaczJg9y3fz1R8 by @blaaroed and @he_nu_ri. Strictly improvisatory approach, first take of what came to my mind off the top of my head. Panned dead centre as per the instructions, hence the song title (the post code for London's Centre Point building).

Enjoy!

How could I not work on this week's Haiku challenge, when it was written by our glorious leader himself?
I tried to capture the feeling of emptiness after something big has finished, but then the urge to get moving again starts tickling...

Disquiet Junto Project 0639: Path Ways (4 of 3)
The Assignment: Rework musical trios using the constituent parts — one of two ways.

These instructions are fairly lengthy. Please read carefully. Originally this trios sequence of projects would have ended with the completion of the trios after three consecutive weeks. However, those went particularly well, so let’s see if we can push it a little further.

Please note: You needn’t have participated in any of the prior Junto projects to participate in this one.

Step 1: In the previous project, we completed musical trios. Project 0638 was the third of three consecutive projects. In the first one, 0636, musicians recorded solos. In the second, 0637, musicians took those 0636 tracks, nudged them to the left side of the stereo spectrum, and then added their own music to the right, forming duets with a hole in the middle. In project 0638, other musicians introduced a third track down the center of the 0637 recordings, completing the trios. You can revisit the music via the blog posts disquiet.com/0636 1, disquiet.com/0637 2, and disquiet.com/0638 2, and you can follow the forking paths through the related Google Drive spreadsheet 9.

Step 2: The goal of this project is to rework the material that accumulated over the course of the previous three projects. There are two main ways to go about this. One is to simply choose one or more tracks and remix, combine, mash-up, or otherwise transform them. The other is to move on to Step 3.

Step 3: Choose one 0636 track, a solo, that yielded more than one 0638 trio. (These are highlighted in light blue, or maybe it’s teal, in the leftmost column of the spreadsheet 9.) Trace the various routes that 0636 track took. Perhaps it also led to some 0637 tracks that never went any further. Perhaps there are various 0638 versions based on varied 0637 versions. In any case, record a piece of music that lets the listener experience the branching paths that the original 0636 track took over the course of the three phases of the trios project sequence. Clearly you will be using a linear form to represent variations, so how to achieve that will require some compositional ingenuity. But you’re up to the task.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include either “disquiet0639remix” (if you follow the loose rules of Step 2) or “disquiet0639paths” (if you follow the more specific rules of Step 3) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track (but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition).

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0639-path-ways-4-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Current models predict that eventually black holes will evaporate via hawking radiaton. Time span of this mechanism is immense. It can take 10^100 years for big black holes to dissipate.
