OctaveOrange- The Eternal Forge

1. Odyssey

I sat down at my computer shorty after 9pm UK time. I was thinking of making some music but wasn't sure what to work on... I have a few things I am working on but nothing lept out at me and demanded my attention. An email pops up... Disquiet Junto 0476. 
It's been ages since I took part and this seemed perfect... 
I went with the flow with this one... I went with some foggy sounding synth and pulled out an old field recording from the A11 dual carrageway by the Norfolk / Suffolk border. I let the field recording play and just improvised some synth at once over the top. I recorded that in 1 take and then went to the arrangement. 
I added a drum rack - an effect on the whole thing... making a nice dubby slow rhythm. It picks up a level or two and I added some other elements of synth and ambience. It was quick and simple to make. This was a good fun experiement to do.  

This weeks instructions are as follows;

Step 2: If your audio-hosting platform allows for tags, be sure to also include the project tag “disquiet0476” (no spaces or quotation marks). If you’re posting on SoundCloud in particular, this is essential to subsequent location of tracks for the creation of a project playlist.

Step 3: Upload your tracks. It is helpful but not essential that you use SoundCloud to host your tracks.

Step 4: Post your tracks in the following discussion thread at llllllll.co:

Step 5: Annotate your tracks with a brief explanation of your approach and process.

Sketch Of A Texas Highway (disquiet0476)

A misty, foggy, rainy day. High enough above to hear it, far enough away to be above it, close enough to smell it, vague enough to float away into wherever your thoughts take you, then you center yourself, back, back, again, don't lose yourself, don't lose focus, it returns.

Into Smog (disquiet0476)

This week's junto was to make a track inspired by the image - so I put the image on screen while I worked at the modular, and this sort of spy-drama come Berlin school thing appeared.
