This weeks prompt really intereted me...  I recorded the sound of my coffee grinder as I ground my morning beans on Friday morning. I had just read the Disquiet email a few minutes earlier after waking up and knew later on Friday I would have time to take part in the challenge if I wanted. I quickly made a recording of my morning grinding of coffee but wasn't till after I noticed I had left the radio playing in the kitchen.

After lunch on Friday I sat down and began to make this, cutting up the sounds of the coffee grinder and transposing the sounds and adding other musical sounds. I wanted to do something upbeat and fun and quite noisy! 


Disquiet Junto Project 0487: Carillon Quotidian
Assignment: Turn a recurring sound from your life into music.

This project was developed by Marty Petkovich (aka K Joule) as part of the celebration of the upcoming 500th consecutive weekly Disquiet Junto project.

Step 1: Identify a recurring sound in your daily life that isn’t generally considered musical. Try to locate a sound that you would normally ignore: the hum of the dryer, or the way the car trunk resonates when you drop it closed, the sound your boots make on certain stairs, the sound of the water coming out of the kitchen tap, etc.

Step 2: The goal is to explore the innate musicality of the sound you identified in Step 1. When recording the sound identified in Step 1, please keep in mind the effort may require some production techniques, because you want to try to isolate it as best as possible.

Step 3: Make an original piece of music employing the sample you recorded in Step 2 of the sound you decided upon in Step 1. Transpose the recorded sample and compose a short theme to use as the central voice in your composition. Complete your piece with other instrument lines as needed.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYK1AWYIMxM&t=20s This portrays a space craft coming back to earth after a long voyage and discovering a sick, weary, alien-like planet. One that's backed up with digital smog and spiritually fractured.
The middle section is them running panicked through the city.
In the outro the racing beat morphs into something representing infinity, as an ocean of viral spores hangs in the background.

Near Death Experience

My own personal tribute to one of the most amazing songs on SO RED THE ROSE, the one and only incredible album from ARCADIA (Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor of Duran Duran).
I managed to isolate Simon's voice and built the rest of the remix around that but I'm afraid the quality of the audio isn't quite good. Sorry guys, I tried my best ^_^
