Lyrics:

Hollow days
Squeezed and worn
By promises
You relied upon
Those sweet words
Melted in her mouth

Forgetting pain 
And common sense
Blindly denying 
The consequence
Will leave you
Endlessly in doubt

Somebody get me out of here
Even for hell I'm ready to leave
Let my wasted youth burn deadly bright
And drive me tonight

No, I don't need a clean sheet to start
Then suffer the beating
Of this fucking heart
And I don't have the will
To understand
Then breathe again

There's so much fun
In breaking the rules
Wit no sympathy
For miserable fools
Your ignorant smile 
Turns me on

You want answers
But I don't care
Deprived of feelings
There's nothing to share
Worthless been
All the fights you won

Somebody get me out of here
Even for hell I'm ready to leave
Let my wasted youth burn deadly bright
And drive me tonight

No, I don't need a clean sheet to start
Then suffer the beating
Of this fucking heart
And I don't have the will
To understand
Then breathe again

The Raging Peace Within

Breathe Again (headphones edition)

Chapter 7 -  Knowledge of the Absolute

2 - Desires Fulfilled & Purified : Story Of Dhruva (Part 1)

Jellyfish have three essential life functions. They eat, have sex, then they die. The rest of the time, they simply float about the water trying to avoid being attacked by predators. It’s not a bad way to live.

The jellyfish mating ritual is typically the outcome of chance encounters experienced while drifting about the ocean currents. Think of it like aquatic low-speed dating in today’s pandemic climate, with potential partners randomly hooking up while trying to stay away from each other.

Suss Müsik considered the art of avoidance in developing this short piece. Two synth engines were modulated to allow their waveforms to “drift” unpredictably, with a small dollop of spring-reverse reverb to create a “bounceback” effect. An alternating pattern for fake dulcimer provides the melodic “current” that brings these two mates together. 

Jellyfish die not long after mating, and such is the case with this piece. A few brief piano notes symbolize the fertilization process and portend the coming demise. What once was clear becomes opaque and drops to the ocean floor.

The piece is titled Scyphozoa. The image is a public domain photograph by Lydia Jacobs.

Creative Destruction. The Assignment: Show how you got to a tortured sound.
https://disquiet.com/0460/

A sound is repeated 40 times.
At the beginning: the sound distorted, destroyed, "tortured".
Gradually the deformations are reduced: we hear the original sound.
And the process of destruction resumes ...

Audio transformations (expansion, delay, reverb) are done with a Pure Data patch:

Comment obtenir un son torturé?
https://disquiet.com/0460/

Un son est répété 40 fois.
Ca commence par le son déformé, détruit, "torturé".
Progressivement les déformations s'atténuent: on entends le son intact.
Et le processus de destruction reprends...

Destruction - Construction - Disquiet0460

In search of an alternative earth, site one is too cold. Site two is radioactive and home to strange beings with advanced starcraft that have the ability to shut down the ship engines. Finally a new home capable of supporting human life is found... in the goldilocks zone.

Goldilocks Zone - A Space Adventure (disquiet0461)

Disquiet Junto Project 0461 - Goldilocks Zone: Navigate a sonic space between the hospitable and the inhospitable.

Follow me on Bandcamp: https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/

Gliese 1061 is supposed to have 3 planets a, b and c, orbiting around he star itself, partly in the circumstellar habitable zone. The track uses mainly three sounds, which try to meander beetween habitable and inhabitable, more in terms of rhythm then of noise and dissonance. It maybe could have been more inhabitable, but for me it really feels perfectly inconvenient. ;-)
