Disquiet Junto Project 0704: Right on Cumulus
The Assignment: Compose 8-bit music inspired by a Cory Arcangel / Super Mario video.

In 2002, the media artist Cory Arcangel created a work of art titled Super Mario Clouds, which removed everything from the 1985 Super Mario Bros. video game except the blue sky and passing clouds. This means that Arcangel’s video was silent, because also excluded was Koji Kondo’s classic score.

The asignment is to record a very sedate 8-bit music that does feel aligned with Super Mario Clouds. So while listening please watch the video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCmAD0TwGcQ).

Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start
The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music.

For this assignment i read the first page of The Chukchi Bible by Yuri Rytkheu.

The Chukchi Bible is a collection of the myths and tales of Yuri Rytkheu’s own shaman father. The stories compose both a moving history of the Chukchi people who inhabit the shores of the Bering Sea, and a beautiful cautionary tale.

This book is a beautiful example for the guiding power of magic places, even when visited via reading.

In the track a field recording of rain in the night is added, recorded in Nunligran/Chukotka and published in the Public Domain on aporee.org: https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=61870&m=satellite

With this track i leave you for a summer break, next regular release is in september (exept maybe some disquiet challenge). Thank you for listening!

Places we have been, do they guide us somehow?

In small villages in the peruvian Andes there is so many voices calling for attention, complaining, singing.. Its the noise of life and of course its the place that gave birth to realismo mágico.

In this track everything you hear is from a one-take-field-recording recorded in Huancayo/Peru and published on aporee.org in the Public Domain: https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=23494&m=satellite

The Assignment: „Dense Fog Advisory“ is your band’s name; now record something.

For me, that band name requires heavy guitar and some heavy metal roaring lead voice. As that is not exactly what i am usually into, here is an intro for the track demanded in the assignment.
