Andromeda is one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd-century Greco-Roman astronomer Ptolemy, and one of the 88 modern constellations. Located in the northern celestial hemisphere, it is named for Andromeda, daughter of Cassiopeia, in the Greek myth, who was chained to a rock to be eaten by the sea monster Cetus. Andromeda is most prominent during autumn evenings in the Northern Hemisphere, along with several other constellations named for characters in the Perseus myth. Because of its northern declination, Andromeda is visible only north of 40° south latitude; for observers farther south, it lies below the horizon. It is one of the largest constellations, with an area of 722 square degrees. This is over 1,400 times the size of the full moon, 55% of the size of the largest constellation, Hydra, and over 10 times the size of the smallest constellation, Crux.

Its brightest star, Alpha Andromedae, is a binary star that has also been counted as a part of Pegasus, while Gamma Andromedae is a colorful binary and a popular target for amateur astronomers. Only marginally dimmer than Alpha, Beta Andromedae is a red giant, its color visible to the naked eye. The constellation's most obvious deep-sky object is the naked-eye Andromeda Galaxy (M31, also called the Great Galaxy of Andromeda), the closest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and one of the brightest Messier objects. Several fainter galaxies, including M31's companions M110 and M32, as well as the more distant NGC 891, lie within Andromeda. The Blue Snowball Nebula, a planetary nebula, is visible in a telescope as a blue circular object.

In Chinese astronomy, the stars that make up Andromeda were members of four different constellations that had astrological and mythological significance; a constellation related to Andromeda also exists in Hindu mythology. Andromeda is the location of the radiant for the Andromedids, a weak meteor shower that occurs in November.

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0599: Minimal(ist) Blend (part 3 of a Disquiet Junto Éliane Radique themed project done in collaboration with the 2023 Musikfestival Bern)

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0599 discussion thread:
My original intent was to create something very experimental but this evolved into more of an ambient soundscape. I tried to keep it within the minimal description but might have strayed a little beyond that in some sections. I used seven parts that I morphed and modulated using various effects (see below) in Ableton Live. An additional track using Audio Things Noises was used to create a foundation. 

The following plugins/effects were used: Slate+Ash Choreographs and Landforms, Sugar Bytes Aparillo, Amazing Noises Grain Scanner (M4L), Bleass Granulizer, Audio Damage Other Desert Cities, Strymon Big Sky and Eventide Blackhole.

Disquiet Junto Project 0602: Choice Words
The Assignment: Make a piece of music that strives to express a specific word.

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0602-choice-words/63203/4

Step 1: Choose a word — either a favorite word, or one at random from a dictionary, a book your reading, or any such source.

Step 2: Compose a short piece of music that expresses that word as best you can. Perhaps it communicates an underlying concept, or follows the shape of the word when spoken, or utilizes it as an extremely short lyric. Come up with your own approach, which might be determined by the word, rather than imposed on the word.

I used an online random word generator and got the word: torch.
I thought of an old style wooden torch that would burn very brightly before slowly going out and tried to express that with this short track. Hope you like it! Have a good day.

This track was recorded in AUM and used apps such as Sunrizer and Hilman, The melodies came from Fugue Machine. Effects used were Nembrini Analog Rack Delay and Nembrini Delay3000.

Disquiet Junto Project 0607: Silence Wave 
The Assignment: From close to zero and back again, alter the relative amount of sound to silence in a piece of music.


I used two stems of Norns awake recordings (heavyly altered). Every stem got four instances with Audiomodern Gatelab (via routing in Reaper). Gatelab configuration was reduced to 10 gates (just to make it easy) with one of ten gates activated (on a different location on every instance). 

So by blending in and out these four tracks I was able to increase the sound/silence ratio from 0 to 40 (times 2 stems, one for bass, one for head, both in sync) and back to zero. Some FX and panning to provide some roomish feeling. The construction is designed slower than the dismantling.

This all may sound like an engineers approach, but if I had not liked the result, I would have gone another way. The altering of the sound/silence ratio is not very granular (0-10-20-30-40 percent) and I may have calculated somehow wrong (somehow I have the feeling) but I think the perception is ok.

no professional aspirations, just entertainment
home recordings just for the joy of music
thank you for listening
Thank you all for your comments, because there is always room for improvement
I am still looking, trying and experimenting, I really like electronic ambient for many years, but it only works as a live percussionist. In short, nothing is black or white:)
In today's hectic world I need quiet sounds and the vast majority of songs created at night, so are my compositions such as they are.

My tracks is based on the absolute freedom of the use of sound. Arises as if I painted a picture. In the head is the base, and then adding the details here and there.
As well as if I were his music told the story.

I use: Ableton-Live-Suite with Partnerinstrumets, Kontakt Player + virtual instrumentzs,NI-Machine, Ableton Push, Acces Virus TI Snow, Waldorf Blofeld, AKAI MPK 49, Korg Microkorg XL+,KORG Kaossilator,Kaosspad,KORG Wavedrum, Roland HPD 20, nord lead A1 r, Yamaha mx49, Roland Edirol for Fieldrecordings - and various live percussion.(Kalimba, frame drum, tombak, koshi etc)
