Our House In The Middle Of A Mad House (disquiet0569)

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)

" Record a piece of music that does change keys"

This one I'm sharing is a track I've been working on since July 2022, eventually a week ago I decided to drop this take and start all over with a solo piano version. It has some key changes, not really sections but there's a permanent "unstable key" feel throughout.

Piano
Classical guitar
Drums (brushes)
Acoustic bass guitar
Wine glasses (background sequence)
Celesta (from sample library)
Synth pad
Key changes go like this:
1st bar E minor 
4th bar A minor
5th bar F# minor
8th bar B minor
9th bar G major
and then back to E minor for the coda.
All repeated twice in this version, with an extended coda.

Shifting Sands (disquiet0570)

This was my contribution for the Disquiet Junto Project 0570: Key Change.
Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0570 discussion thread:
I don’t think I’ve ever done a key change in any of my projects unless by accident, so thank you for this challenge. I had a lot of fun putting this together. This piece shifts from E minor to D minor and back to E minor. I used NI Playbox and ThePhonoLoop Tape.01 plug-ins within Ableton Live for most of the sounds and effects. AudioThing Noises was used to create the background drone.

Refracted Horizon [disquiet0570]

This track is an improvisation on the thought that nothing is as simple as it seems to be. The piano and all other sounds were recorded live from the midi-keyboard.

This is my contribution to the Disquiet Junto project 0570.
