I like the way the various lead motifs are played over the basslines.

Nice mood. Like this organic feel except the bass and kick. Those two create big contrast and feel bit synthy compared to the rest.

Piano part is nice. Have live play feel. Again that bass "break" it a bit.

Good work. With bit more work on sounds itself a mix ( more "powerful"), track can be even better.

Sorry for ALWAYS making references to video games regarding your entries…BUT ;) this is a little like the soundtrack to the ”mist stage” in a unknown 90s RPG that almost got released. :) I really like the pitch drifting here and there!

Interesting exploration inside the chord progression. Interveaving ideas, gets you lost in the sound.

I don't know what to make of this one.  It's intreging.  Something about the sound and song design makes me feel unsettled.  There are some cool melodies and counterpoints in it.

I like the forward motion -- will be interesting to see where it goes.

well...ehhh... I think the pushy bass isn't really locking in well with the melodies and background.

You've got some really sweet elements in here, but the bass much of the time felt to me like it belonged in a different song (sorry...)

Disquiet Junto Project 0563: Digital Magical Realism
The Assignment: What does this imaginary genre sound like?

Step 1: Think about what a genre means, where it begins, where it ends, what makes a genre a genre.

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the concept of magical realism, most often associated with the fiction of such authors as Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Hoffman, and Haruki Murakami, among others.

Step 3: Imagine what “digital magical realism” would sound like, were it the name of a genre.

Step 4: Record a piece of music that sounds like what you think “digital magical realism” sounds like.

Disquiet Junto Project 0604: Heaven’s Gate
The Assignment: Use a picture of the clouds as a plan for adjusting your sound.

Step 1: Think about the use of a gate in music production. A gate can be described as an “on/off switch, allowing signals over threshold to pass while muting everything below.” (It’s likely that discussion will occur during this project regarding useful explanations of the concept.)

Step 2: Take a picture of some clouds.

Step 3: Think of how to interpret the clouds as a model of a gate.

Step 4: Record a track employing the approach you determined in Step 3 using the picture from Step 2.

I took the cover photo in Ashland, Oregon, earlier this year; no filters were employed. Regarding the title, I’m a Michael Cimino admirer.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. How fast are those clouds moving?

Deadline: This project’s deadline is the end of the day Monday, July 31, 2023, at 11:59pm (that is, just before midnight) wherever you are. It was posted on Thursday, July 27, 2023.

Entry for OSC#181: Psyllium Disco

"Captain Silverpants was so excited to have received the bulky package of little seeds from the man from Aberdeen.  He had ingested the lot about 30 mins ago - his eyes were closed letting the feeling grow and grow.  Where would it take him..?

Hours later, reading Wikipedia while still on the toilet, he discovers that, despite it's funky name, psyllium is mostly used a constipation remedy..."
