The 688th Disquiet Junto prompt invited us to consider a common road sign and interpret it as a musical instruction. There's a sign in the alley behind my house that reads

SLOW 
CHILDREN
AT PLAY

So, my response. The instrumentation is simple, just four layers: my favorite grumbly piano, a juicy analog synth bass, an eerie motion pad, and a custom feedback patch on the Sculpture physical modeling synth. The percussion is a hand clap performance that I recorded for the piece. But I am most proud of the vocals: they are not synthetic, they are not samples, they are an organic vocal performance that has been heavily processed.

I really enjoyed doing the research for this piece, digging into the origin of children's rhyming, clapping, and jumprope games. 

I learned that Miss Mary Mack was a performer in a Black-owned circus and tent show that toured the American South in the 1880s. I discovered the "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay" connection between Lizzie Borden and The Cat Came Back: the Lizzie Borden rhyme was often sung to the tune of "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay", a popular vaudeville song; and according to one variation of the cat chant, the seemingly indestructible cat is finally done in when he hears an organ grinder playing "Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay" and drops flat dead.

Fair warning, I went full-on creepy for this one.

Oh NO! 😱 Look what's come out in the wash! 😳 It's a re-re-re-remix ... ! 😮

So this all started with a remix of a brilliant Tingle Taspestry ASMR video, which you can sink your teeth into at https://youtu.be/JrczIGHyJzU ...

A 'stress busting' experimental super loop version that forms the basis of THIS track can be sampled at https://youtu.be/yb6mBbDePxY ...

Enjoy!! 😁
