A Living Funeral

Thanks, Tobias & Marc, for this fun assignment!

My process in a nutshell: Using two instances of Ableton's Sampler loaded with my guitar recordings, I sequenced the provided "John Cage" chord, using the first version of Marc's MIDI file, so it's actually the wrong Cage chord --- hence the title "noncage". 
With some pushing around of this source material, a slow-morphing, overlapping atmospheric track fell into place. 
To top it all off, I just flipped the whole thing, turning it into a lovely background echoey backwards guitar concoction. 
So as to make things more listenable, I provided a little bit of supplementary fodder and smoothed out some of the rougher edges in Cubase.

Enjoy!

Disquiet Junto Project 0566: Outdoor Furniture Music
The Assignment: Imagine the ur-ambient Erik Satie musique d’ameublement concept en plein air

I listened to some of Eric Saties tracks for musique d’ameublement, like Tapisserie en fer forgé and knew, it has to be very repetitive. I was lazy and took a track I was already working on and cut away everything non-repetitive, plus I changed the instrumentation to something more orchestral and Satie-esq and the key to Am (in which Carrelage Phonique seems to be). I wanted it to have beauty and regular irregularities. I added some field recordings (from France ;-) to give a feeling of listening to this musique d'aménagement de jardin outdoors. Like all good wallpaper, the pattern repeats loopable.

Track image by DALL·E: "Versailles style garden with repetitive hedgerows, hedgerows formed like furniture, hedgerows of different size, oil painting by Caspar David Friedrich" and yes it ignored a lot of my prompt.
