It has taken me long - but here is my first solo-release:
The World is just a Cloud in your Head
This album compromises a big part of my journey as a musician and as a human so far.
It feels good to finally send it out there.
It is available digitally and as a limited edition CD - handcrafted by myself:

My ideas to the poem:

Der Knabe im Moor from Annette von Droste-Hülshoff
======================
O, schaurig ist’s, übers Moor zu gehn,
Wenn es wimmelt vom Haiderauche,
Sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
Und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche,
Unter jedem Tritte ein Quellchen springt,
Wenn aus der Spalte es zischt und singt –
O, schaurig ist’s, übers Moor zu gehn,
Wenn das Röhricht knistert im Hauche!

Fest hält die Fibel das zitternde Kind
Und rennt, als ob man es jage;
Hohl über die Fläche sauset der Wind –
Was raschelt drüben am Hage?
Das ist der gespenstige Gräberknecht,
Der dem Meister die besten Torfe verzecht;
Hu, hu, es bricht wie ein irres Rind!
Hinducket das Knäblein zage.

Vom Ufer starret Gestumpf hervor,
Unheimlich nicket die Föhre,
Der Knabe rennt, gespannt das Ohr,
Durch Riesenhalme wie Speere;
Und wie es rieselt und knittert darin!
Das ist die unselige Spinnerin,
Das ist die gebannte Spinnlenor’,
Die den Haspel dreht im Geröhre!

Voran, voran, nur immer im Lauf,
Voran, als woll’ es ihn holen;
Vor seinem Fuße brodelt es auf,
Es pfeift ihm unter den Sohlen
Wie eine gespenstige Melodei;
Das ist der Geigenmann ungetreu,
Das ist der diebische Fiedler Knauf,
Der den Hochzeitheller gestohlen!

Da birst das Moor, ein Seufzer geht
Hervor aus der klaffenden Höhle;
Weh, weh, da ruft die verdammte Margret:
„Ho, ho, meine arme Seele!“
Der Knabe springt wie ein wundes Reh,
Wär’ nicht Schutzengel in seiner Näh’,
Seine bleichenden Knöchelchen fände spät
Ein Gräber im Moorgeschwehle.

Da mählich gründet der Boden sich,
Und drüben, neben der Weide,
Die Lampe flimmert so heimathlich,
Der Knabe steht an der Scheide.
Tief athmet er auf, zum Moor zurück
Noch immer wirft er den scheuen Blick:
Ja, im Geröhre war’s fürchterlich,
O, schaurig war’s in der Haide!

Disquiet Junto Project 0388: Random Less
For this project you’ll be using just a few instruments, optimally three, to create an original piece of music.

Ok, so 3 instruments it is :
Fretless Bass
Udu Drum (Moringa)
Charango (Ronroco actually)

This is far from the usual experimental junto track , hope that’s ok.
TBS using a South-American charanago to play this sort Fusion-Flamenco is what I’ll call an experiment indeed.

The charango was recorded on the road in Vejer De La Frontera, Andalucia,Spain, the other two tracks of this trio were added back home. Trying to make a one-man recoding (with no click)  sound like a real group performance is a challenge I took seriously in the years of the midi sequencer galore (80-90’s) but now I might be a bit out of shape, lol.
It quite works I guess.
Cheers

7 tracks of bowed upright basses (Paris , France November 2010)
Acoustic upright piano (Buenos Aires, December 2010) 
Acoustic guitar (martin J15) (Paris , France June 14th 2019)

For Disquiet Junto Project 0389: Choose an old piece of music of your own.  Slow it down considerably. Add one or two new elements .

Looking for old tracks to rework for this prompt I re discovered 3 MiniDisc with the soundtrack I composed for a Tennessee Williams play back in 2010.
I shared and published some of those tracks over the years (including disquiet0257 and naviarhaiku264) but there’s still a lot to be remixed  and re-used , many bowed upright bass pulses and noise that appeared all the time during the play.
For this one I used the score for « page 20 » of the script, bowed upright basses, upright piano and vinyl noises. Original track in Em (the basic pulse plays on the lower E string of the basses.
I added an acoustic guitar (in Em) and the transposed everything 4 steps down to C minor and recorded a new guitar part on that new key and slower tempo.

Pitching down the low E of the basses gave a profound C that really makes a difference, and the slower pace made the thing even more menacing.
Cheers
DD

Phantoms

This is a track that I've been sat on for a while. It explores artificial and physical tape and noise degradation. The elements of the piece have either come from the real world or the computer and have crossed domains several times to and from the computer to cassette tape, analogue filters and hardware processors. For every digital element is a physical counterpart which has been imposed on to the other.

I was attempting to create a twilight space occupied by a constant train of thought transversed by unrepeatable unpredictability.
