OMG thought that my phone was ringing... Joke :) really nice!

This is so well done, great sounds, nicely composed, great arrangement, but I have to confess something I've never admitted in OSC so far - I really hated 80s synthpop. And you may ask, "Well, how did you get here?"

Nice panning on the baritone/bass part here.

Excellent lead sound here. And then it just goes off to the races. Nice work!

It really does sound "1980s", but at this point we're so far removed from that time period that IMHO such labels don't even matter. Music is about emotions, quality, technique, etc. but the emotional part doesn't need to be situated in sentimentality or nostalgia for a time period. It can be just fun! I think this is.

I still love this song. just put it on for Saturday morning breakfast :)

I still smile broadly when this comes on my OSC playlist. it's my favourite for sure. so much joy 😊

Disquiet Junto Project 0571: Child’s Play
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a nursery rhyme.

I opted for "Fuchs Du hast die Gans gestohlen" (Fox you stole the goose), a German nursery rhyme from around 1824 based on an older folksong. Which seems to be, by what so ever strange reason, also very popular in Japan. It was written by Ernst Anschütz, whom you may know via "O Tannenbaum". Because I am just in love with some presets (yes) in Pigments, which use wavetables based on the MicroQ I once had (for the interested ones: Playhugger Microns https://www.plughugger.com/pigments-microns.html ), I currently do everything with these pads, and the results may be doubted. Anyway, I went for a slow ambient pads arrangement of this song, using only the original melody material plus some probabilities. At the end it did not sound like a lullaby at all (and does not say anything about nursery rhymes), but I liked it very much for what it is. At one point I added some sweet bells and stuff, but I always went back to this somehow brutal and unkrakenkrafty version.

Disquiet Junto Project 0579: Memory Serves
The Assignment: Rerecord a piece of music.

Step 1: The goal of this project is to simply perform and record again something you’ve performed and recorded previously. Think about something you’d like to revisit.

Step 2: Now rerecord the piece of music you decided upon in Step 1.

Eight Important Steps When Your Track Is Done:

Step 1: Include “disquiet0579” (no spaces or quotation marks) in the name of your tracks.

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0579” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your track in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0579-memory-serves/

Step 5: Annotate your track with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Step 6: If posting on social media, please consider using the hashtag #DisquietJunto so fellow participants are more likely to locate your communication.

Step 7: Then listen to and comment on tracks uploaded by your fellow Disquiet Junto participants.

Step 8: Also join in the discussion on the Disquiet Junto Slack. Send your email address to marc@disquiet.com for Slack inclusion.

Note: Please post one track for this weekly Junto project. If you choose to post more than one, and do so on SoundCloud, please let me know which you’d like added to the playlist. Thanks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you.

Deadline: Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, February 6, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, February 2, 2023.

Upload: When participating in this project, be sure to include a description of your process in planning, composing, and recording it. This description is an essential element of the communicative process inherent in the Disquiet Junto. Photos, video, and lists of equipment are always appreciated.

Download: It is always best to set your track as downloadable and allowing for attributed remixing (i.e., a Creative Commons license permitting non-commercial sharing with attribution, allowing for derivatives).

For context, when posting the track online, please be sure to include this following information:
