Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg
The creation of this work was drawn from composer's memory of childhood. When he was a child, while he was crying, suffering, or in a restless state, his mother would turn the wooden pegs(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DHiu2gUKPZE8e-ree2Jg-02NfoqmVOyQ/view?usp=sharing) on the bed to create some sounds to attract his attention to let him calm down! The main function of wooden pegs installed on bed is to hang the clothes while sleeping. But if you use different strength to poke it or turn it in , it can make interesting sounds like birds chirping, doors squeezing, or even piercing screams. 
Based on this bedside memory, the composer recorded the sound of wooden peg on the 60-years old ancient bed. Just like his mother, he improvised on this installation, trying to create various possible sounds, even a sound art piece. Those recorded sonic clips were then manipulated through the technique similar to “developing variation” to work out all the possibilities of transformation of the material.The processed sounds were then “organized”(in E. Varèse’s word) or “digital micro-montaged”(in H. Vaggione’s word) to build up a musical composition with artistic interests which may bring endless and fantastic imagination to the listener.  
Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg was created and finished at the Sound Lab at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University(NYCU) in Taiwan on October of 2024.


Fantasy Variations on a Wooden Peg

A groove in Dm @ 104 bpm played on a mahogany guild parlour guitar with a figure overdubbed. A foundation on which to ground your energy for the long struggle ahead.

Disquiet0697 - First Third

The strangest things happen when walking down the stairs at Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, UK ... and all the sounds you hear here are from that odd little trip downwards ... see the video at https://youtu.be/TH2gczMinQ8

Thanks to the little kid who provided the vocal snippet! 🙏

So, this is the first third of a trio for the Disquiet Junto ... It's deliberately incomplete - simply a beat track ... Want to add another layer? What does it need to your ear? Check out the Disquiet brief for the next two weeks ... ❤️ Download this audio and have a play! 🎶🎡

Part 1 of 3 of the annual Disquiet Junto Trios project

A low B note drones throughout, with a slow evolution of added notes of the B Major 6 chord. No beat or melody, and certainly nothing of interest for AI bots. Created on Solar 42.

Field recording from this morning, recorded in the garden while - - - gardening. I cut it into three equal parts of one minute each: work, walk, church bells.
