President Biden accidentally referred to Putin's war in "Iraq" when answering questions from the press, a year after former president George W Bush made the same gaffe. Both men played crucial roles in the push to invade Iraq.

HOT PURSUIT

Disquiet Junto Project 0621: The Leftovers
The Assignment: Use recently discarded material to make something new.

I was really excited by this prompt and then had such a bumpy time moving through it. Lots of starts and stops, lots of frustration. But ultimately I found my way to something cozy and warm (like any good leftovers). 

I was inspired by my love for blooper reels and behind the scenes content. I've been working on a really special audio storytelling/concept album project about space colonization for a long time now and I find it comforting and joyful to listen back to the chatter between takes, the bits we ultimately cut out, and the unruly sounds that happen outside of the final edits. I like hearing our unscripted personalities, thought processes, and mistakes. 

So for this piece I just used that stuff paired with a good amount of mic adjustment sounds and a sweet, simple melody from one of many abandoned songwriting attempts.

frozen shadows (disquiet0622)

his was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0622: Know the Shadow

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0622 discussion thread:

Rather than thinking of shadows as a result of shapes blocking light, I went with an alternative definition of something, usually a person, that follows closely. In this case, similar melodies that follow each other. My goal was to create a piece that's repetitive and minimal.

Using an Arturia Keystep 37 and Novation Peak, I manually played three different tracks into Ableton Live at approximately the same tempo using different settings. I also recorded a track using Jogging House's new Tonal Drifts instrument pack. I stretched a couple sections so they would slowly drift out of phase. It's my interpretation of shadows getting longer as the afternoon sun moves lower down on the horizon. Not sure whether I'm 100% satisfied with how this turned out, but I enjoyed the process.

Signal Degrade (disquiet0623)

I recorded a track, then played it through a Bluetooth receiver at the limit of its transmission range. I also recorded the EMF around the receiver, while playing the same track at distance. 

The three tracks were merged, using vocoders, and AudioThing's Motor to help add some musicality to the broken Bluetooth track.

Winter sky–
Distant dreams
Shattered and flown away
(Tr. by John Stevens)
A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.
Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.
