After many drafts, hopefully I have a final version of this song! It’s about narcissists, who can seem shiny and attractive at first. But the dissonance eventually reveals itself.

Lyrics:

I love you, yes I do!
And you love me, I can see!
I’m the one, yes the one.
Shining bright, I’m the sun.

Little darlin’ fall for me,
The false charms ring true.
Magnetic ways I save for you,
A little scene, I make the score.

You love me, I’m a catch!
No one else in the race!
But can’t they understand
I’m the best in the land.

Little darlin’ fall for me,
The false charms ring true.
Magnetic ways I save for you,
A little scene, I make the score.

Ooh, why do they fall
For the lies
That make us despise
The size of his ego
Ooh, what can be done, for
The lives that have been
Taken
Why do they fall for the lies
Time to make the move.
Arise.

NonDisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569) by Daniel Burke.
Was reading a piece in a magazine at the end of a long trip up the Oregon River in 1997 about gratitude. The punchline was “the key to contentment is an attitude of gratitude”. Still working that 25 years later but grateful to have come across it, as it was needed and I have found it works. I continue to try to recognize and acknowledge as much as possible. This piece is dedicated to my wonderful wife Laurie who was delivered to my doorstep (literally) by some guardian angels (almost literally) just in the nick of time. Its a great story I won’t bore you with but suffice to say she is the best thing that has happened for me this lifetime and I express that as often as I can.
I started out thinking to make a piece as gentle and kind as she is, with a nod to the magical & beautiful music of the 1988 album Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro, which we both love. Music that inspired Oval, Microstoria the rest of the A-Music crew in Germany.

The piece quickly moved towards the Eno/Budd/Frippery I am increasingly falling into... Started with the Roland Jupiter-6 lovely marimba like patch and developed a theme which was played around with and replicated/altered with another track of digital piano. Added in an Arturia Analog IV Synclavier patch for a few slight synth/stringish swells, finally added 2 guitar overdubs and a few very distant field recordings made in Mexico and Spain.

Nondisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569)

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0572 (details see below): Make a beat that someone else will add to.

I dedided to create a beat mainly based on the sounds of nature - especially all that can be heard in the forest. The forest rhythm is accompanied by some percussive piano sounds and dark ambiances - to enhance the magic of the forest and all it can give to the attentive visitor.

https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/neocasolit-paploviante ... Paul offered this as a may-be open collaboration ! to me it was like a for-sure inspiration. I tried an unusual combination: C minor harp + soprano sax :-) ... the riddle, what is a casolite :-) I learned, it's a mineral and radioactive ! so do not touch everything that looks pretty :-) // Paploviante: Bass, Composing, Arrangement, Mix, Mastering // myself: sax, harp, final mix ... image: Klaproth, CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commons
