Dogs of War (disquiet0536)

This recording follows the inspiration of the Disquiet Junto Project 0537 (see below): How could a apologetic car horn sound like ?
The track presents a quiet side street, its atmosphere augmented by different musical elements. Some cars apologize for driving by and disrupting the calm by sounding their apologetic melody, and in the end this horn melody leads a life of its own.

I thank blaukreuz for providing the wonderful field-recording
https://freesound.org/people/blaukreuz/sounds/521000/
which inspired much of this track.

This project was proposed by Rob Walker.

Filtered Reality(disquiet0538)

I woke up with a simple idea - do the OPPOSITE of what I am supposed to do and then just reverse the whole track. 

Recorded, mixed & mastered 21/22 Apr 2022 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.

Synths, birds, lawnmowers & effects.

Sleeping With A Grease (disquiet0538)

Back in the Paleolithic Era, Suss Müsik had a day job in a print shop. It was stressful, physically demanding work; the craft of mechanical reproduction requires meticulous attention to detail and firm adherence to bulk scheduling. It was not uncommon for tensions to erupt during the course of a working day: yelling, crying, illness, threats, even the occasional fistfight.

Still, there was also something comforting about the work’s repetitive nature: an almost soothing glow that takes over the mind and body, not unlike the euphoria experienced during vigorous exercise. One felt a sense of camaraderie, of being an essential component of a successful process. We were merely cogs in a machine, yes, but it was our machine and together we cultivated an ability to convert stress into sedation.

Walter Benjamin (author of the seminal essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction) once wrote: “The relationship between life and purposefulness reveals itself, seemingly obvious yet almost beyond the grasp of the intellect, only if the ultimate purpose toward which all single functions tend is sought not in its own sphere but in a higher one.” This piece attempts to explore this process of manifestation.

A sonic facsimile of mechanical process was “played” using a simple melody. The same melody was then replicated using a “breathy” glass harmonium voice, amplified into a rhythmic synth pattern. The effect is calming by nature, its native rigor gently evolving while not disrupting the pattern. The glitched voiceover is a recording of a factory worker, describing how he had been given a warning after arriving at work three minutes late during a snowstorm.

The piece is entitled Jeckel, named in honor of a former coworker who sadly passed away in 2013. This effort is dedicated to the the laughs, frustrations and wisdom we shared during our time together.

Jeckel [Disquiet0538]

I recorded loops of clangs, beats and, waves and ran them through fx chains to create a clamour, then stripped back the effects and samples.

Transition State (disquiet0538)

Fin d'Orage - 'the end of a storm', uses dissonance, comprising about a dozen different string samples, to depict the chaos of a storm, which could be meteorological or emotional. The storm resolves to drops of rain falling from trees, represented by harp and bell sounds.
