wow, it's great how glimpses of the fabric of the original wav start popping up in the eerie glitches. Good job.

Love the schizoid radio effect, like interstellar short wave :)

Give It What You Got (disquiet0507)

i deeply enjoyed playing with Daniel Díaz' sample pack; i figured to zoom in, splice brutally but neatly in order to transform them but keep them recognisible  - there's occasion distortion and a little compression but fundamentally this is made up of a number of layers of the sounds looped and granulated and looped an granulated.

Holding fire [disquiet0507]
Created as part of the disquiet Junto series of weekly musical projects .Construct a track using a kit of samples supplied by Daniel Diaz all playing in the key of C.
I think I used about 6 of the 10 samples and went for small slithers of many of the sound to get drone textures. I re-chopped up the piano to get a nice ambient loop. It all ends in a bit of delay time wobble. Mixed and arranged in Bitwig
The Assignment: Make music with 10 acoustic instrument samples all in a shared key.

Info:
Step 1: This week’s project is based on a great “construction kit” of WAV files in the key of C recorded for us by Disquiet Junto member Daniel Díaz. Access the files, of which there are 10, at this Dropbox link:

The trouble with trilobites

In Sylvia Plath’s “Stillborn,” metaphor operates almost as a counterfactual. The poem is a satirical critique of her creative process, conveyed in a self-mocking tone to imply an uncomfortable concept: if these poems/children had a better creator/mother, they would be alive today. Plath delivers a harrowing, ironic message loaded with self-deprecating gallows humor:

These poems do not live: it's a sad diagnosis.
They grew their toes and fingers well enough,
Their little foreheads bulged with concentration.
If they missed out on walking about like people
It wasn't for any lack of mother-love.

O I cannot explain what happened to them!
They are proper in shape and number and every part.
They sit so nicely in the pickling fluid!
They smile and smile and smile at me.
And still the lungs won't fill and the heart won't start.

They are not pigs, they are not even fish,
Though they have a piggy and a fishy air --
It would be better if they were alive, and that's what they were.
But they are dead, and their mother near dead with distraction,
And they stupidly stare and do not speak of her.

For this creative brief, Suss Müsik envisioned something beautiful and pristine contained in dusty glass jars of formaldehyde. A simple melody for fake woodwinds was slowly distressed using glitch technologies to accompany a VCVRack patch playing a Lydian chord progression. (The Schillinger System was used to define harmonic variations, for composition geeks out there, nearly undetectable under all the fuzz).

Although the final output doesn’t necessarily evoke images of rotten, grimy bodies left to decay, there remains a sense of something having “missed out on walking about” like a fully realized piece. To paraphrase Plath, Suss Müsik cannot explain what happened to it.

The piece is titled Plath and was recorded quickly to 8-track in three takes.

**Postscript:** admittedly, Suss Müsik's contribution this week skews more towards the concept of "metaphor." than working with a commonly known figure of speech. Apologies. The only example that came to mind was "raining cats and dogs," recalling a piece titled "Dog Puppet Born Out of a Sock" that Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser did in the 1980's using a rudimentary sampler. (It shows up on the *Friends & Enemies* compilation, if you're interested).

piccolo studio in modo misolidio

Silence 

The city shines apocalyptic tonight 
An avalanche of grief in a sea of blue lights 
Turning the other cheek, falling into their graves 
Rising like Lazarus to do it again 

A crowd of youths are getting ready to “meet”
There’s an air of violence running down every side street 
Put down your guns 
Thrown down your arms 
No one’s brave enough to sound the alarm 

The deafening silence 
This silence is deep
Been silent for so long we’ve forgotten to speak 
Words like silent raindrops fall 
The silence is deep but the anger is shallow 

The toothless vampire’s getting ready to bite 
Fuck me man you know what’s wrong and what’s right 
For every Abel there’s another Cain 
Every vow of silence is another bloodstain

Silence

最後の夏の昇ってくる太陽をイメージして作りました。

thank you for listening ！
