I was going for a YMO/SNES feel. (Final update, I hope!)

Rumor of Robot in Town

Weeks of Songs

Centipedes of Many Sizes [disquiet0513]

I generated this piece by writing this script https://github.com/jimkang/midimod/blob/main/tools/micromodes.js then running it through an amp simulator. Back on the Synthruary train!

Two Robots Loitering at Guitar Center

These are the entrance and exit jingles I'm going to try out in video conferencing software.

Entrance and exit jingles [disquiet0559]

I made this with a crude granular synthesizer that I wrote to allow the control of the sample start and duration to vary over time.

In a Bomb [disquiet0588]

Middlesex Fells [disquiet0590]

A couple of riffs, plus some improv at the end.

You can hear it against a beat here. https://smidgeo.com/notes/deathmtn/media/gVchcWMh-140bpm.m4a

140 bpm riffs [disquiet0591]

Fun wave on the left from Hugh (https://soundcloud.com/hugh-prat/we-need-you-tay-disquiet0591), granular synth noise on the right from me.

We Need Grain, Tay [disquiet0592]

Buzzing Beyond Abstraction Cactus Flower [disquiet0593]

It has a beat, but I think it's still dungeon synth.

Ghost Banquet Speech and Award Presentation

Something to listen to while reading about microplastics.

Scrambled Plea [disquiet0606]

The Orb, Ascending

It's a tribute to moving walkways throughout the United States and all over the world.

Moving Walkways

Based on a real-life incident! 

Lyrics:

Stupid bee stung my finger
Stupid bee
Goddamn, it hurts

Waiting in a hot dog place
Peacefully waiting 
For my food

Feel a buzz up on my head
Reach to see
What it is

Draw it back in shock to see
I've been impaled mid-digitally
Ambushed indoors, what the fuck
In my finger, a bee is stuck

Pull it out as it struggles
Venom pulses
In my hand

I tell the cashier about the bee
And the sting
She at laughs me

Finger swells and will not bend
Constantly
It must be iced

Five minutes out of ice brings debilitation
Can only work on riffs for very short durations
A severe limitation to rocking, and moreover
Jeopardizes the grand plan for Rocktober

Agenda destroyed by an insect insane
Frustration sets in, finger inflamed
Paranoia follows, is the sting still in?
How long to disspate the venom within?
Resignation comes next
And it all circles back
Stupid bee stung my finger
Stupid bee - goddamn, it hurt

Stupid Bee

RIP, Jeff Hanneman. This occasion makes me wish I practiced, but for some reason I feel I should give what I got anyway, shoddy as it may be.
