My contribution to Junto Project 0683 - https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0683-space-shot/70693

The first half of the track I wanted to capture the spaciousness and mystery of a cavernous space station – brutalist in design, surrounded by mist. The second half I wanted to take a deep dive into the inner workings of the station, where we hear the isolated clicks of machines and robots discussing the work being done.

More on the 688th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Sign Up — The Assignment: Interpret a routine public sign as a musical instruction — at https://disquiet.com/0688/. This particular track was inspired by atonal music of the early 20th century, and the works of John Cage. The sign says "Wrong Way," so I played music in (what many believed atonal music to be at the time of its emergence) the "wrong way." I changed the pitch on the "choir" a few times to evoke a vehicle going the "wrong way" and needing to turn around.

I love how these weekly assignments stretch the possibilities of what sound can do. When I think about my "supporting players" I think about my laptop and the wires that connect it to my synthesizer. Thus, this track is made solely from sounds generated by me tapping, unplugging, typing -- in other words "playing" these non-instruments. These sounds I then looped, distorted through various filters (some meant for voice, some for instruments), added echo and reverb, isolated the sounds from the ambient noises around them, and then layered them on top of one another.

Inspired by the aesthetic of the same name, the Dario Argento film Phenomena, a trip to the Natural History Museum in New York, general millennial nostalgia for science museums, as well as Spotify playlisters and artists who have attempted to capture this sound. https://cari.institute/aesthetics/utopian-scholastic
