L - System (Short Mix) (disquiet0509)

Track made for the disquiet junto challenge with the theme 'Talking Cure' - music for the psychotherapist’s waiting room...

IDEA
Like some of you I've had my experiences with psychotherapist’s and their waiting rooms. The first thing that came to mind: the biggest mistake is not to play music in the waiting room at all. Being alone with your thoughts, the soft murmur of someone behind the door, and maybe your nerves playing a part... So I wanted to come up with something soft (not aggregate like a jazzy elevator muzak). From fitting your sad, melancholy mindset to uplifting without being stupidly happy (like the ice cream truck jingle).

COMPO
I started with a simple chord progression around Emaj7. This goes round and round, with very little variation, but I feel this fits with being calm. I then played with a generative tool for a while. I took some of those bits and pulled out some melody ideas. Partially playing the melody in A over the Emajor gives it this uplifting feel.
The precussive parts are some melody and bass notes transposed and quantized, so this doesn't get too wild either.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with what came out.

FALLING SOUNDS

Imagine that you are about to consult a therapist. You are sitting in the waiting room of his/her/their office. Picture some comfortable chairs, abstract artworks on the wall, and some large plants in the corners of the room. You are ready for your appointment.
