Name: A Man Of Dust by Pharoah Tickles The Sun
Duration: 4 min 56 s
Description: (Origen, Sui Principe 3, 6, 5: S.Ch, 268, 248)

HOPE is a somewhat special piece. I would describe it as uplifting ambient, as it conveys a kind of inherent evolving energy untypical of this style. The sound is dense, warm, and full, and it can also be heard very loudly.

**Disquiet Junto Project 0680: Reverse Resolution**  
The Assignment: Finish something (musical) you started last year.

This project has just one step: finish something you started last year, likely a piece of music you left unfinished.

#### Background
It's been a long time since I played anything on keyboard. For the last six months, my electric piano has been sitting up vertically against the studio wall, covered with a sheet and pretty much neglected. During my staycation (almost at an end now) I'd come into the studio, and just before I decloaked the keyboard, I'd get distracted or discouraged somehow.

I thought about the keyboard in relation to this week's assignment and recalled that I had a chord progression that I'd been meaning to do something with. So that's where this started.
#### Studio approach

The chord progression itself is very simple and revolves around a Bb Major 7th in second inversion (F-A-Bb-D) which occasionally resolves to a Dm7 and/or G7. This forms the scaffolding for the track, with degrees of improvisation after resolving to the Dm7.

I found a bass melody which could lead into these chords and played these on an electric (Rhodes-like) piano patch, with the chords played on the piano patch. Beneath this was a spare 3/4 click, which once the piano parts were in place, I used an ML-generated drum pattern with tweaked parameters.

An electric guitar largely compliments the piano chords and steadily opens up a bit, whilst a myriad of synth patches are introduced to provide a bit of atmosphere. Lastly, I included a field recording as a backdrop. This was a recording from new year's day in a national park on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

I guess I could sum up the mood of this track as 'wistfully pensive', much like my general outlook for this year.

[Disquiet Junto 0680] Time Removed, Facing Backwards

This is composed solely of musical recordings of variable quality that I made during a tour of southern Spain in 2023;  a National Day event in the square in Madrid, a religious parade through the streets of in Granada, a Flamenco show in Seville and the organ (and ambience) of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I made a rough assembly last year, disliked it and left it. I’ve warmed to it, a bit – it’s now framed by the flamenco school recorded in Seville. All have been slightly treated/enhanced to varying degrees during the mixing process.

You must see live flamenco before you die.
