How cool cut hay smells
when carried through the farm gate
as the sun comes up

Nozawa Bonchō was a haikai poet and disciple of Basho who worked as a doctor in Kyoto. Later in life Bonchō distanced himself from Basho’s school and was imprisoned for a crime. He died in 1714.

For this track I made heavy use of Spitfire Audio's LABS Instruments: Soft Piano, Tape Orchestra Strings Flautando and Peel Guitar Ensemble. The field recordings in the background are from LABS' magnificent Tundra Atmos.

On the spring equinox
Clouds wander about
The entrance of a mountain temple.

Field recording from this morning, recorded in the garden while - - - gardening. I cut it into three equal parts of one minute each: work, walk, church bells.

This is my submission to this week's Disquiet Junto assignment.

SONG 93 - DisquietJunto0697 - First Third

This track is inspired by the beautiful and unique landscape of Brittany, especially the Côte de Granit Rose.

It is intended to be the first part of an asynchronous trio - as inspired by this week's Disquiet Junto project. But it is also meant to be a composition on its own.

Second Third on the RIght! (disquiet0698) CJ McGregor x Torpid Scorpion

Disquiet Junto Project 0698: Second Third
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio.

I chose ‘Unmaking Music’ because of its physical materiality. 

https://soundcloud.com/raincat-306596410/unmaking-music-disquiet0697

I had initially made a first version that contained many different movements on six tracks. That was pretty okay. But then I added some lurking piano - and somehow I felt that Raincat's hammering of whatever was the perfect partner for it. So I removed all the other tracks (only crow field recordings from Vienna remained, also the amplification of a kinda bell-like sounding Raincat “solo”). I didn't try to accompany Raincat, but let him accompany me. Thank you, Raincat, for your track!

I think this waits for a lead instrument. If someone wants to trio: The Piano is now 90bpm and somehow C-ish… (mainly CDCD, sometimes CDGC).

No total left-right-panning HERE, because I can't stand it. If you want to have one, download it THERE: https://soundcloud.com/winterer/panned-unmaking-together

Unmaking Together: Krakenkraft joins Raincat [disquiet0698]

Last edited & mixed on 15 May 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa, USA. 

For this piece I incorporated “Hydrasynth-105bpm-CMaj_disquiet0697 6 chords” disquiet0697 by 14 Below Zero (https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero) for the left channel.  https://soundcloud.com/14-below-zero/hydrasynth-105bpm-cmaj_disquiet0697-6-chords-disquiet0697 

My contribution is on the right. 

For my part, I acted in a supporting role, starting with 14 Below Zero’s notes & Cherry Audio’s emulation of Octave Electronics’ 1976 CAT synth and then adding effects & editing where I felt appropriate. I had such a block on mixing this because I dislike hard panning for most things…so I mixed it in a way I preferred. After I felt good about that mix, I hard panned it again (except for some effects) and yeah, I still liked it. This should be fun for someone to add to next week.
