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.

When I went camping last year I tried to write a little verse with somebody else, but after only about 5 minutes this person had to go off on a workshop and ended up writing a song with somebody else she met on her way back 🤷 I recently picked up that initial idea, turned it on its axis and wrote a song that is totally different from how it started but it is more relevant to me now and I actually really like it! They say everything happens for a reason.

LYRICS
When you ever needed
Why did I let you down
Now, before it ends
Will you give me one more shot

I’ve now realised
I didn’t have to fight
I shouldn’t have been blue
There’s only one of you

Forgive me if you canG
If I could,  I’d go back
And treat you like I should
There’s only one of you

When you ever needed
Why did I let you down
Now, before it ends
Will you give me one more shot

Don’t
Go
Stay
with me

Don’t
No no
Don’t go
No no no

Stay
Stay with me

Only One Of You

I returned to the ice I recorded in 2013 and approached it… differently. I put it through the Mangle, then chopped up the result, reversed and muti-tracked it a number of times and downpitched some by several octaves, boosting the bass as well as stretching some sections to create drones.

Then did it all over again and added it to the mix, with a dash of crème de menthe and a shot of Talliskers. I wish…

Step 1: Please record the sound of an ice cube rattling in a glass, and make something of it.

The Mutant Orchestra haven't been let out of their cavern for a long time. Possibly with good reason. Probably should have been more careful what or who I fed to them...
