Title is from Robert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening":

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.

Recurrent insomnia [naviarhaiku030 - Sleep is all I want]

Summer sounds of sleep lull but unease provides the undertone.

“Maybe in some distant place, everything is already, quietly, lost. Or at least there exists a silent place where everything can disappear. Or at least there exists a silent place where everything can disappear, melting together in a single overlapping figure. And as we live our lives we discover—drawing toward us the thin threads attached to each—what has been lost.”

Liquidation Totale

On A Balcony, The Love of a Good Life (2017, from Awry EP and Liquidation Totale compilation))

Today, the Japanese musician Taro Ishida posted a video clip to his Instagram of a rainshower in Nasu Forest (Nasu-machi Nasu-gun, Tochigi.) He also shared a 30-minute audio recording of the rainshower via his dropbox account. I downloaded the audio and decided to improvise a little piece of ambient music around the rainshower recording using my electric 12-string guitar and two patches on a Microkorg synthesiser.

As I listened to Taro's recording, I made a sketch of the rainshower.

I was feeling quite miserable this wintery morning, so I went for a long walk into and around the city of Adelaide. On the way there, it started raining heavily and I sprinted to the nearest shelter at the Himiji Japanese Gardens in the southern parklands. The shelter adjacent to the beautiful stone garden provided a bit of respite whilst the rain cleared. As the rain subsided and the sunlight peeked through, it was a beautiful moment there by the stone garden and my mood improved significantly from that point on! The sound of the dripping rain was particularly lovely and hearing Taro's recording later in the day reminded me of this moment. Hence, the title of this piece.

I want to thank Taro for uploading and sharing the recording of the rainshower in Nasu.

Live in the studio recording, circa 2007 in Paris, reworked and remixed Friday November 27th 2020.

Again, from the  masters I got back some weeks ago and I am rediscovering and reworking some music for there.

This is part of a one day session with these extraordinary musicians  this is the only session with the three of us together in the studio. We recorded tones of music that day, including [junto0463](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/two-memories-gradient-disquiet0463) and [naviarhaiku358](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/black-horse-naviarhaiku358) with a 4th element , Pajaro Canzani on guitar)

This is the introduction to an instrumental composition we recorded for a producer (documentary) who accepted the mix but later asked for the introduction to be removed.
So this free form 2 minutes remained unused.
I remixed this today for 27/NOV/2020 thanksgiving  junto challenge
https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0465-you-thank 
as a thank you note for those excellent musicians.

I spent some time live and i the studio with Bobby since that day, but completely lost track of Nico, 10.000 Km between us...

Going back to these masters is a joy and reminds me how great it is to play together with fellow musicians and how grateful I am that I could do it with such great, talented guys.

The March of IT (disquiet0465)

Disquiet Junto Project 0465: You Thank
The Assignment: Make a piece of music for someone or something toward which you feel thankful.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0465-you-thank/38745/12

Step 1: Think of someone (friend, family member, source of inspiration, etc.) you’re thankful for, or perhaps a thing (instrument, institution, a local business, etc.).

Step 2: Write a short piece of music dedicated to the subject you focused on in Step 1.

Track notes: 

I've been catching up, listening to(and buying) a bit of more Jim O'Rourke's formiddable Steamroom editions over on his Bandcamp. For the most part, these are longform works (~30mins to 1 1/2 hours) composed primarily on a Serge modular synth. There are also archival editions going back as far as 1992. Getting into these can be daunting (there are currently 51 releases!) but the recent output is incredible: especially the drone-y, ambient vibes of 40, 45 and 50. 

So, this drone of mine - on my studio modular set up - goes out to Jimbo. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration, you wonderful human.

It's an excerpt from a patch that I'd left running for about half an hour. The core of the patch's activity is a newly acquired Doepfer Wave Multiplier, which works beautifully when the CV controls are being affected *very* discreetly. The signal is also passed through a Doepfer Wasp Filter. Around this, there's a dual delay emulating a pair of long tape loops. The artefact sounds (warbles, clicks, static) are stems from my new album, Mote Music. I'm looking to 'deconstruct' the album for live performance next year, so I thought I'd incorporate them into the mix of this patch. I like how - at times - they almost sound like field recordings.

Signal
07:27

Blurring the boundaries between land and sea, Signal creates a seascape in constant flux with its identity, ever changing, always in motion.  Sonic topography inspired and partly arranged from recordings made at a sound mirror on the South East coast of England (UK). The mirror itself stands dormant as it waits, facing out away from land. Sound markers and siren warnings, still it listens, quietly detecting.
