I was going for Space sounds, found myself closer to the underwater realm. 
Track sprung from the day I bought U-he Zebra...

Since we're all AI nowadays, I said I'd ask ChatGPT 3.5 for a description of such a track with a short prompt. "It" said:

"Submerged Melancholy" is an enchanting composition that evokes the serene sadness of floating underwater. The Zebra synthesizer creates ethereal, haunting notes that delicately convey a sense of melancholy. A bass guitar adds depth and resonance, grounding the music and infusing it with a subtle longing. Together, they form a captivating synergy, immersing the listener in an introspective journey through the underwater realm. The piece gradually builds and recedes, leaving a lasting impression of bittersweet beauty and emotional reflection.

I'll take it!

Went to Dall-E then for the track art..

We mine a rich seam in these heady early days of LLMs!

Submerged Melancholy

Jump Lead

Disquiet Junto project:    Minimal(ist)    Blend     disquiet0599
great prompt to continue one of my musical quests, beautiful ambient music made with real instruments in the spirit that Brian Eno meant it, and Erik Satie and Mark Hollis achieved it. (or at least not what it became later with excessive digital reverb or overtly digital synthetic tones or the beat/glitch driven music that it became, which is fine, that deserves to exist too:) but not where i usually want to go.  
5 guitar passages w/ minimal processing were recorded into ableton. further movement of the parts in editing, with the focus to keep it spare, hopeful, & open, not too much action or overlap. further processing was minimal, just a bit of convolution reverb and echo in abelton. as suggested granular synthesis was used by dropping one of the guitar parts into Robert Henke's excellent max4live device Granulator II. in addition one guitar part was processed intermittently with Tone Tree max4live device from Inspired by Nature/Dillon Bastan. these parts are also kept at minimal use throughout never overpowering the natural guitar parts, only complementing and extending them. 

another welcome assignment this week, initially i was tempted to go the glass/reich minimalist approach as I am playing a lot of piano in this style recently, but my ability to play the parts live without manipulating or editing them to fit is not there yet and i preferred to go the ambient guitar route as it so close to my heart for many years, and achievable for me without too much "correction" in the editing.
I'm fine with using any means necessary to achieve the goal but more of that kind of minimalism from me when i can pull it off in one take god help me...

Very nice samples to work with.
I unmuted the first 3 (or the last 3?) the more "synth" ones, didn't use the glitchy/noise tracks. Those 3 tracks played back with no added fx or mix sounded full Vangelis for me.
I  miss and I know I will miss Vangelis Papathanassíou for the rest of my life.
This one's for him. 

3 tracks from Marcus Fischer's sample set, tweaked and slightly edited
3 tracks performed by myself on Friday June the 30th during the morning: one electric piano, 2 synthesisers: Ultra Analog VA2 and Micro Korg

Disquiet Junto Project 0600: Reaching Out
The Assignment: This is a shared sample project. Rework a set of seven WAV files provided by Marcus Fischer.

I wanted to make a ten minutes track, because thats 600 seconds for disquiet0600. Some of the samples went into granular meat grinders of different kinds (but mostly Granulator II in Live), others were used more or less directly, but with something from Puremagnetik as an FX. I went by stomach for a track that would please my taste, using only Marcus samples

All sample sound material: Marcus Fischer – thank you!

Everythings Going To Be Just Fine

this time I used Ableton to elaborate this musical idea, however the first with this daw, which I find very interesting on a functional level. shame about the workflow, but unlike cubase it is definitely designed for a live environment. as a first experiment not bad, I hope it is the first of a long series.
