Birds Sing In The Trees (disquiet0526)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0528 (details see below) and presents musical flora: An unobstrusive path symbolized by a simple melody line meanders through two different sections of a botanical garden. My thoughts drifted to the beautiful landscapes of the https://sichtungsgarten-hermannshof.de/. A Hohner Organetta was the perfect instruments to trace the path.

The evocative field-recording of trees and birds were provided by @blaukreuz on freesounds:

Musical Flora (Disquiet0528)

Times Itself [disquiet0529]
Created as part of Disquiet Junto weekly project 0529:  to make a piece of music that engages with the number 23.
This track has bars of 23 beats, it is 23 bars long.
I doubt the ear can discern the 23beat bar -but the rhythm is 123&12&12&123&12&12&123
The track has 3 drum tracks – done in bitwig. A Spitfire Audio piano, cello and violin plus acoustic drone recording of a metal sheet and a bit crushed megaphone announcement (in Japanese).The metal sheet friction drone is gate sequenced to an Euclidian patter on a 23 beat cycle.
The scale for the piano and strings is E+ F+ A B C+
Think it would make good closing credits music for a psychological thriller where a serial killer feasts on minor celebrities and influencers. The agent assigned to the case of course has his demons and struggles with his own autism -only to discover no one else has empathy for the victims either. It could be called LIKES!

Major thanks to Eanna Butler for helping come up with this project:

This Sucks Kick It (disquiet0536)

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)

By a strange bit of synchronicity (always sounds better than ‘coincidence’), I was already working on something inspired by this same concept. 

Very simple, just a short burst of sound culled from a work in progress, subjected to many passes through Audacity’s “Sliding Stretch” and further enhanced by modified sections of drone sourced from the stretched results. Some unexpected rhythmic pulses appear as well, adding to the fun.


----------------------------------------------

The Assignment: Get someone from tense to chill.

Step 1: Your goal with this piece is to guide someone from a place of intense stress to something more sedate. Keep that in mind.

Step 2: A lot of meditation-oriented music takes the end point as the start. Consider that it can be jarring to listen to calm music when you are anything but calm.

Step 3: Compose a piece of music that starts in a state of accelerated tension, allows the listener to align their own tension with that of the music, and then slowly proceeds to calm down, until the music is sustainably peaceful.

Chill by degrees [disquiet0538]

I love the smell of the ground after rain (petrichor), which this week's haiku, by Richard Barnes, evokes. It inspired my improvisation (in A Aeolian) played on a VST piano with effects from Guitar Rig 6. Recorded and mixed in Reaper. Mastered with CloudBounce.
