Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto

This week's Junto was to create some soothing sounds for a newborn baby.  I started out at the piano, and soon came across this little motif that I liked. It had a sort of lullaby feel to it, but I didn't want it to be too rigid in timing. So I flooded it with reverb and lots of slow echoes, and tried to play without getting entrenched in any particular 'bar' structure. I found that by adding a few sequences from the modular synth it would give me something more firmly in time to shift across.   I also added one of my pad sounds from the JP-8080 for a little variety.   

Improvised live, in a single take.

Welcome ( Disquiet 0250)

"Compose a piece of music intended for a newborn child, something peaceful as they first experience the world outside the womb."

I remember when our first daughter was born, she would sleep better on car rides when we played music with a touch of prominent bass.  Nothing too loud, of course.  

This piece tries to replicate that "perfect" soothing baby sound that our daughter liked while in the car.  In addition to two kinds of basses, there's a variety of field recordings mixed in the background, along with a section of the track "Tactile Music" by Mark Rushton and Jon Harnish, from our 2008 album Ornate Culmination.

Disquiet Junto Project 0250: Soothing Sounds for Junto
Make some peaceful music for an infant child.

This project finds me re-editing and mixing tracks I composed and recorded last year for a film that needed some “clear”, “transparent” and “crystalline” music according to director.
So I went for a sample instrument called Glass Works from Soniccouture that I ended up using quite a lot, samples from “translucent” glass instruments such as Chamber Bowls, Cristal Baschet and Glass Harmonica. 
https://soundcloud.com/soniccouture

I kept the same template yesterday night and build this Welcome! sound to Karin and Bruce’s sweetheart, wishing them all a lot of happiness.

Basic tracks are:
-Cristal Baschet (arpeggio)
-Bowls (w/mallets) 
-Glass Harmonica
-Bowed bowls pad

So the basic track is full midi.

Then I added my beloved Accordina (start @ 0:34) and (bassist me) a pizzicato upright bass section (6 overdubs of the same basic bass part to make it sound like a bass orchestra).
I thought this was a bad idea, (removing the aerial mood and giving some rhythmic root) but today it seems good.
Still, at 3AM I added some “Vangelis” noises and cutoff falls ‘cause something in the sound reminds me the Love Theme from Blade Runner, so I tried to imitate those unique “ffffsshhhh” sound Vangelis masters.
I also thought this was a bad idea and now, the morning after I can confirm. It’s actually number 37 in my list “50 worst ideas of 2016”
But can’s get to the studio to remove it now, so here it goes, lets support some bad ideas from time to time, shall we?

A magic moment is at 01:05 when the glass harmonica takes the lead playing the melody the Accordina just played (and accordina starts improvising) , both timbre sound so alike that it’s amazing, such disparate instruments.
