Nice interaction of different sounds ! I really like this track.

Disquiet Junto Project 0492: Kintsugi Rework

The Assignment: Employ the Japanese technique of mending broken ceramics as a metaphor for remixing.

Step 1: This week’s project explores the ceramic method called “kintsugi.” If the term is unfamiliar, read up on it a bit. Here’s a description from an article in the Washington Post: “That means ‘golden joinery’ in Japanese, and it refers to the art of fixing broken ceramics with a lacquer resin made to look like solid gold. Chances are, a vessel fixed by kintsugi will look more gorgeous, and more precious, than before it was fractured.”

Step 2: Consider how kintsugi can be employed, through metaphor, as a means to rework/remix an existing piece of music.

Step 3: Take an existing track, perhaps one of your own, and by some means “break” it.

Step 4: Take the “broken” piece of music from step 3 and make it whole by employing a musical adoption of kintsugi.

Kintsugi Rework - disquiet0492

halF kintsugI [disquiet0492]

Hey, I decided to rework a all-percussion track I finished two days ago and posted for the weekly haiku challenge [here](https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/the-serpent-pulse-3-naviarhaiku387)
I added a layer of an orchestral track and broke the percussion master to create holes where the orchestral score pops up. Then , on some places I played with filters to make the orchestral layer "leak" through the percussive parts. It was fun.

STORY

Beatrice Harrison and the nightingales (1920s)

This is the overture of a three-part piece on breakups and the reactions of all parties involved, called ‘Tryptich’. 
An interesting progression to my ears.

This trio for one alto and two C flutes was inspired by a lecture titled "Georgia O'Keeffe's Radical Abstraction" in which one of O'Keeffe's works — Abstraction White Rose — was described as existing on a spectrum between realism and abstraction...or perhaps it is paradoxically both at the same time?

“Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis, that we get at the real meaning of things.” — Georgia O'Keeffe

Sheet music available upon request.
All are welcome to use this piece as a basis for improvisation.

Disquiet0591 SwellChords

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
