@evolver-man: theme and variation was one of the main things I took from listening to Raymond Scotts work.  Thanks for listening.

in dark autumn nights
dew and the new bamboo shoots
reaching out to moon

Shubham Dasgupta, hailing from the picturesque city of Guwahati, India, introduces himself as a student of law. However, his true passion lies in his enchanting affair with words and the mesmerizing world of poetry. With an innate ability to discover beauty in the most ordinary aspects of life, he finds solace in daydreaming. Mastering the art of crafting Haiku poems on a daily basis, he effortlessly weaves emotions into syllables, creating captivating pieces of art. Occasionally, he ventures into the realm of painting, giving life to his vivid imagination.

Front page news from Derby Daily Telegraph from exactly 50 years ago - November 2, 1973 ... Also an exploration of Minimal Audio's Morph EQ ...

Here's the text from the newspaper article - the photo is in the centre of the track image:

ANNE'S WEDDING CAKE ON DISPLAY
A SIX FEET high, three-tier cake weighing around 500lb, extra rich in fruit and rum, is on show at Wilfred House Uttoxeter, this weekend prior to being transported to London for the wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

It has been made at the bakery of Elkes Biscuits Ltd. Uttoxeter and baker Mr G. Moore (pictured) was brought out of retirement to prepare and bake it.

Mr Moore, who also baked wedding cakes for the Queen and Princess Margaret, was with the company for more than 40 years.

HEAD OF HORSE
In keeping with the couple's mutual interest in horses, designer Mrs J. Morgan has incorporated the head of a fine horse, in low relief, as the main decoration on each side of the lower tier.

The initials A and M are also displayed in an oval frame on the second tier. Traditional symbols of good luck, including silver horseshoes, white heather, and orange blossom, are also depicted in white icing and silver motifs.

The crest of Princess Anne, and the Phillips family, together with Captain Phillips's regimental badge, add a dash of colour to the cake.

SUGAR DECORATION
The fine sugar decoration was completed by Mr S West head of the Division of Baking Technology at Ealing Technical College, assisted by Mrs P. Arnold (pictured with Mr Moore) in charge of the company's test bakery, who was also responsible for co-ordinating of the programme for the cake from manufacture to display.

After leaving Wilfred House, and prior to its transportation to the Palace, the cake will be displayed in a West End hotel.

News story from the Kentish Express archives, 2nd February, 1973.
May all news someday be this dreary.

Disquiet Junto Project 0618: Burying the Lede
The Assignment: Turn old news into new music.

Step 1: Locate an old news article, the less dramatic perhaps the better, from roughly 50 years ago. Try to find something local to where you live now or have lived.

Step 2: Use a text-to-speech tool to convert the article to audio. There are numerous such software applications, and no doubt discussion in the Junto thread on llllllll.co 1 will yield suggestions should you require one.

Step 3: Set to music the voice recording that resulted from Step 2. A length of two and a half to five minutes is recommended. Use an article sufficient to that length — you may end up not using the entire text. As the piece goes on, have the voice slowly get subsumed by the music, until by the end the voice is no longer intelligible — perhaps not even audible.

Note: In case the word isn’t familiar, a “lede” is “the opening sentence or paragraph of a news article, summarizing the most important aspects of the story.”

Queasy Quantity Quandary disquiet0618

This track was created for the Disquiet Junto project 0618 (details see below): A 50 year old local newspaper-article was to be read, accompanied by music.
I found an article from 28th October 1973 from the "Seckenheimer Bote" (Seckenheim is 5 km away from where I live). It is available here
https://druckschriften-digital.marchivum.de/zd/periodical/zoom/510335.
The article announced a concert of Zarah Leander in Seckenheim, as part of the farewell tour of the then 66 year old Swedish singer and actress.
Zarah Leander is still known for her song "Ich weiss, es wird einmal ein Wunder geschehen" (https://soundcloud.com/zarah-leander-official/ich-weiss-es-wird-212274359) from 1942. This influenced the choice of music for this track.

I found a the beginnings of track using Felt Instruments' Helenko, and AudioThing's Noises as a drone. I added some muted piano with Felt Instruments' Lekko, and an additional drone with Arturia's Augmented Strings and TAL's Sampler.

muffled (disquiet0621)

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.

Welcome Little One - disquiet0250

Bells for baby-Disquiet0250

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.

Music is not only a hobby, but a place of refuge.  
There are mostly ios creations but I'll play some guitar and what not here and there.  Sound is a giant sand box.  On going battle with hoarding got me an odd collection of instruments which I should learn how to record better.  I would be interested in more collaborations so inbox me if interested.  Good thing it wasn't the Apocalypse theres too much cool music I still have to hear :)
