I had the pleasure to jam over to melondruide’s hypnotic track

https://soundcloud.com/melondruie/cold-sun-disquiet0525

As a warm, earthy contrast to the original icy synths I added some hand percussion 
I went for my Hand pan (Hang) cause it’ sin C minor as the original track, and just added some phrases on a little Indian Talking Drum, but this time I think there’s a nice bed for a 3rd contributor.
I added some rhythmic delay here and there (talking drum and original track)

About The Sun (disquiet0526) with Melondruie

For this week's Disquiet we've been asked to imagine a path through fragile vegetation. Two synths hooked up to Stochas provide the "vegetation" and another synth provides the "path", echoed by a guitar.

Disquiet Junto Project 0536: Metaphor Play
The Assignment: Take a favorite figure of speech as a creative prompt.

The short story: Good Things Take Time, and so did this.

The long story: This was planned to be "My Memory Seems To Be Clouded" and it mainly consist of Bastl SoftPop2 recordings (sometimes via MI Clouds) plus some Drum VST, but I somehow did something wrong with the recording. In Reaper it was 4 Minutes and normal, after exporting it was 4 Minutes and way too fast. Just scaling down the tempo to the half didn't work, as the stretching algorithms destroyed the sound in a way I didn't like. I was sure that the problem was just some setting anywhere, but I was no able to locate it. I started things new, reinstalled things, re-arranged the crazy Mac aggregate device and so on, and after some time even old tracks had a wrong tempo and I checked my coffee for psychedelic mushrooms. At the end it was something with "96khz versus 48khz" after I had used another recorder for line recording this week. Learnings: Reaper has a general setting for the sample rate of recordings and a project based setting for only this project. Wave editors like ocenaudio can change the sampling rate without changing the lenght, editors like Audacity can change the sampling rate so that by reducing it to the half the track is double the lenght – and no stretching is needed, all samples are saved. By some unknown quantum karma this turned out to be the conversion I needed, although it is now 8 minutes. Fun fact: So at some stage Reaper definitely showed a wrong lenght, and I remember that I already thought "this somehow sounds longer than 4 minutes … is it ambient or just boring?". Anyway, it took some time to get this result as wanted, because Good Things Take Time (which may more be more of a proverb that a metaphor, but I did'n want to emphasize the Valley Of Dispair subtext …).

High on the ashes of light [naviarhaiku442]

One afternoon in the kitchen of Vera's house, Lydia sat on a barstool eating a turkey and miracle whip sandwich. Her aunt smiled at her with an endearing look. "Why does dad insist that I spend so much time over here?" 
Vera cringed, she hated the word 'dad'. It brought back memories of her and Vincent's father, among other things. "Well, maybe he wants my smarts to rub off on you." She gave a chuckle and smirk. "Even though we both went through graduate school, he ended up in the military, whereas I get contracted by them. Much more lucrative position, he would agree."
Lydia's eyes flashed with a curiosity that Vera had never witnessed in all her time with her niece. "So....what exactly do you do? Top secret stuff I bet..." She grinned and took another bite of her sandwich. 

"Actually...come with me." Vera had a mischievously wicked grin on her face that almost frightened the poor girl. With her nerves tingling and hair on end she dropped the sandwich and jumped off the stool following her aunt into the hallway leading to the bedrooms.  She stopped at a door that Lydia had never paid attention to before, believing it to be an extra closet. Opening the door led to a set of stairs that they descended into a very posh lounge. Decorated with very fine chases, loungers, and other seating arrangements, coupled with glass top tables forming a circle around the center of the room.  The walls were of a lush rose red, and the carpet like velvet burgundy. Lydia's jaw hung open in amazement.

Vera then stepped to the side of a bookshelf that was oddly misplaced at least 2 ft from the wall it was supposed to rest against. "This isn't what I'm here to show you." Her tone and demeanor shifted quickly to a serious note, "Come here so I can show you the code to get in my lab for safety, just in case."
