Lengthening Shadows (disquiet0475)

I sat down at my computer shorty after 9pm UK time. I was thinking of making some music but wasn't sure what to work on... I have a few things I am working on but nothing lept out at me and demanded my attention. An email pops up... Disquiet Junto 0476. 
It's been ages since I took part and this seemed perfect... 
I went with the flow with this one... I went with some foggy sounding synth and pulled out an old field recording from the A11 dual carrageway by the Norfolk / Suffolk border. I let the field recording play and just improvised some synth at once over the top. I recorded that in 1 take and then went to the arrangement. 
I added a drum rack - an effect on the whole thing... making a nice dubby slow rhythm. It picks up a level or two and I added some other elements of synth and ambience. It was quick and simple to make. This was a good fun experiement to do.  

This weeks instructions are as follows;

Step 5: Annotate your tracks 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.

Forecast [disquiet0476]

I lived in Houston for 9 months in 1997.  Lived and worked on Westheimer Rd.  I worked near River Oaks at a tech startup.  My wife worked somewhat nearby on Greenway Plaza at what is now Invesco.

The food in Houston was excellent.  One time, Dusty Hill from ZZ Top was behind us in line at a BBQ joint and ordered "a quart of jambalaya".  Yes, he was dressed like he was on stage.  I thought it was the perfect Texas moment.  Although a close second was going out with Ann's co-workers to somebody's horse farm in the country and one her co-workers rode a horse backwards very fast.  Nice people.

There should be more cars on whatever road this is.  I remember the traffic was crazy.  And the air often smelled of gas, the result of being close to oil refineries.

This track is a combination of several pieces of mine:  Aleodeology's "Time Travel Destination in the Past", "Simulated Gravity", "Aleodeological Travel", and "Empty Interstate Due to Microaggressions", along with my side band Vibrating Wires' "The Long Drive Out", "The Path to REM Sleep", and "Southwestern Desert" - and some field recordings of rain that I recorded.

Sketch Of A Texas Highway (disquiet0476)

A misty, foggy, rainy day. High enough above to hear it, far enough away to be above it, close enough to smell it, vague enough to float away into wherever your thoughts take you, then you center yourself, back, back, again, don't lose yourself, don't lose focus, it returns.

Not sure where this brain fart came from… a new genre? Blues Hop? I just threw a bunch of stuff at a blues riff and went from there. Vocal sample courtesy of Amy Kirkpatric.

Into Smog (disquiet0476)

This week's junto was to make a track inspired by the image - so I put the image on screen while I worked at the modular, and this sort of spy-drama come Berlin school thing appeared.
