Disquiet Junto Project 0563: Digital Magical Realism
The Assignment: What does this imaginary genre sound like?

Step 1: Think about what a genre means, where it begins, where it ends, what makes a genre a genre.

Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the concept of magical realism, most often associated with the fiction of such authors as Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Hoffman, and Haruki Murakami, among others.

Step 3: Imagine what “digital magical realism” would sound like, were it the name of a genre.

Step 4: Record a piece of music that sounds like what you think “digital magical realism” sounds like.

Remedios the Beauty - disquiet0563

I was going for a minimal drone piece with Drone Painting No. 4, but after a few listens, it seemed to want something more. Some songs want more cow bell, but this one was calling out for shortwave radio.

This is the 600th Disquiet Junto. 600 weeks of fresh music! Congratulations to Marc Weidenbaum @disquiet and all the Disquiet Junto community for this important achievement!
This week I had the pleasure of re-working a collection of Marcus Fischer's wav files from which I selected nacre_voit and no_input_matrix_mixer files.
I decided to keep focusing on the higher part of the spectrum, just as I did on my previous disquiet 0599. I used synths and norns clone to interact and/or mangle the two selected .wav files.
It was difficult to keep things interesting and having control of everything while keeping an eye on the timing of such process.
For this recording I set up Morphagene to play nacre_voit.wav as a reel. The output was sent to a mult and then split to a mixer and to QPAS and Mimeophon for effects, then into the mixer with a non effected output.  
Arp 2600 clone and 0-Coast produces an high pitched voice that is similar to Marcus Fischer's nacre_voit.
Fates is running Gemini script with no_input_matrix_mixer.
The latter two are then effected with Hologram Microcosm Granules, Haze, 3rd preset. On previous takes I also tried Graintopia and Twine.
It's been the longest process I've ever had with any Disquiet Junto since my (recent) first submission (0590). For this last assignment I collected 13 different takes, it's a process that could have resulted in even more if I didn't restrain myself to call it finished. 
Lesson to be learnt is to keep patch simples: for this one I had complex patches running as I was trying to better understand all the capabilities of my newly arrived NANO Caixa 104 case, but the process of keeping everything under control and improvising without overdubs has been demanding. I think this one has suffered of a strange kind of horror vacui.
