Really love this, Rachel!  Vocals, instrumentation, orchestration, interpretation, just everything!

This is so beautiful Rachel. You continue to bring incredible joy into my life. Thank you.

This was a great one, Rachel! I particularly enjoy your guitar playing on this. As usual You are not just phenomenal on one instrument, but seemingly pretty much anyone you play. What often impresses me most listening to your SoundCloud tracks are for instance in the Prog rock covers where it’s impressive enough that you play like anyone of the virtuosos and those bands but often you play like all of them.

The Assignment: Use probability to remove material from a track.

I made a 3 track piece specifically for this idea instead of using something I already had because I figured it should be done with tracks that always have something happening so the silence is more noticeable/dramatic.  I think the moments where everything cuts out are the most dramatic.  Silence is sort of the 4th track in that sense (or what ever is going on around you when listening).  The piece itself used a fair bit of aleatory.  "Dr Chaos" is a max for live instrument I used with the drum kit.  It plays random samples at a regular beat division (1/8th, 1/16th, etc.). The 2 other tracks are just moving through different interval cycles (minor 3rds and perfect 4ths) at different paces so they create different unpredictable harmonies.  I used Random.org to decide where to cut and how long the cut should be (1-8 beats).  I figured cutting on beats instead of seconds would give the breaks a rhythmic quality.

Lyrics:

Have you told her yet?
You never be over me 
The way she’d want you to
Does she know you like I do?
All I've wanted was to care for you

She thinks what you have is special, to her
Everything youve said to me,
Have you reiterated to her?
Now is that special to you
Tell me how is that special for you
Sleepin' in our bed we made for two 
(Does she know you like I do)

Do you see her long-term?
Talking about our future
Does she know it aint true?

Cause she thinks what you have is special, to her
Everything you said to me,
You reiterated to her…
Oh is that special to you?
Tell me how is that special for you
Sleeping in our bed we made for two

Does she know you like I do?
Come home to me. 
And I’ll be home to you
All I've wanted was to care for you
No ones sleepin’ in our bed we made for two
She not me, and I will never replace you.

Disquiet Junto Project 0643: Stone Out of Focus
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a poem.

Step 1: This project is inspired by a brief poem by Yoko Ono, in which she wrote, “Take the sound of the stone aging.” Consider that sound.

Step 2: Record your impression of the sound of stone aging.

Background: This week’s project is based on a text by Yoko Ono, originally published in her book Grapefruit 60 years ago, back in 1964.

Freely inspired by:

Singende Steine II(disquiet0643)

     I would love to share a few interpretations of my favorite Daryl Hall & John Oates songs with you. I first heard “Do What You Want, Be What You Are” on a compilation from my late computer teacher while in Santa Barbara before the pandemic hit. Then I checked out a really cool performance on YouTube taken from the series "Live From Daryl’s House." I suddenly had a crazy idea: interpret this song in the spirit of Diana Krall, with a hint of Ella Fitzgerald. I was amazed by the jazz-inspired chord sequence, especially during the chorus.

     This recording began in 2020, and I knew that the vocals were going to take a few years for me to master. This year, I ended up recording the lead and background vocals, Nord C2D organ, and the Nord Italian Grand Piano (Extra Large sample). The drums came from Sonar’s Session Drummer library, the bass was played on my five string with the bass pod, and the Ibanez electric guitar (which my friend Brian and I call "Steve 2," which I had him modify like a mini-strat…) was mixed with my Lewitt condenser mic on the Vox amp.

     When it came to interpreting the lyrics, I wasn’t thinking about anyone in particular, and only in my imagination. It ended up being a lot of fun!!! (Smile)

     I can’t wait to show you the other songs. I know I said that my Gino Vannelli cover was going to be the last thing on Cakewalk Sonar, but I thought about completing a few covers first. In the meantime, my mom and I are gradually working on getting my new system ready to go. Hope you enjoy this interpretation! (smile)
