Episode 2 focuses on past, present and future of the Detroit-Berlin axis. By means of an interview collage, writer and Make Techno Black Again activist DeForrest Brown, Jr., Lerato Khathi aka Lakuti (founder of Uzuri Recordings and the Bring Down the Walls initiative), Boris Dolinski (resident DJ at Berghain) and Mark Ernestus (musician and founder of the Hard Wax record store) explore how the rapid growth of techno and club culture in Germany after 1989 relates to the music’s origins in the Black neighbourhoods of the post-industrialised city of Detroit.

A Day Of Rainbows  ( Naviarhaiku 405 )

This track is intended to give the listener a connection to his inner self and the mythological past buried deep inside of us. Sounds of nature, a shaman reciting...
It is inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0515 - creating music for an psychotherapist’s waiting room (see below).

An alternative version (more mythical, more shamanic wisdom) can be heard at https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/la-shamane-nattend-jamais-il-vit

I owe my thanks to Lárus Guðmundsson whose poetry reading I have used as building material for the shaman. You can find this - and other of his poems - on freesound.
The used poem https://freesound.org/people/Pax11/sounds/479362/ is under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/.
I changed the pitch and formant, and only play deliberately pieces of the poem backwards.

The wonderful bird-recordings are from https://freesound.org/people/klankbeeld/. The three recordings

>>KIM TWIDDLE<<

Kim Ramona Ranalter alias Kim_Twiddle arbeitet mit unbändiger Lust am Verschränken von Ausdrucksformen, Gewerken und Materialien auf Bühnen wie im virtuellen Raum und verbindet Theater- und Musikproduktion, Performance, Live Acts und DJ*ing mit Ensembles und Kunstschaffenden jeden Hintergrunds in vielgestaltigen Projekten. 
Seit 2016 liegt der Fokus vermehrt auf Komposition und Sounddesign in der elektronischen Musik. Zwischen Retro und Sci-Fi gestaltet Kim Sound multimedialer Arbeiten und Installationen, interpretiert Musik für Theaterstücke zeitgenössisch und installiert diese als tragenden Bestandteil der Inszenierungen auf der Bühne: analog, ohne Bildschirm oder Laptop, auf elektronischen Klangerzeugern der frühen 2000er Jahre. Dabei wird aus unterschiedlichsten musikalischen Strömungen von Klassik über Electronica, Techno, Pop, HipHop bis Experimental geschöpft. 
Als Mitglied des queer-feministischen Kollektivs WUT e.V. versteht sich Kim mehr und mehr als nichtbinäre Person und organisiert seit 2018 mit DJ*s, Computerkunst- und Musikschaffenden ermächtigende und all(e)umfassende Veranstaltungen, Bildungs- und Netzwerkstrukturen sowie politische Interventionen.

Deep Blue Darling Session

Post-Reflotation Session

Treated (muted) upright piano
Orchestral samples (treated and mistreated) 
Music box sample
Synthesizers.
Bowed dulcimer (sampled)

Composed and performed by DD in a rainy Paris on Friday December the 7th during the whole day.

Created for the 362nd weekly Disquiet Junto project — Operational Surrealism
This track might not be the most surrealist of the lot for this junto, an uplift little melody, a simple "ballade" or "comptine" if you want. But one thing is sure, this track is beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella.

There's a word play with the double or simple L in _ballade/balade_ for the French speakers, don't know which one makes more sense for the title and artwork. Should ask Mr Magritte....

Thanks to Peggy Nelson, for having proposed this project.

Ceci n'est pas une ballade (disquiet0362)

A "dinett" is a trolley table made in the fifties by the furniture company Bremshey out of Solingen. For the experimental electronic music of Soundinett it serves as a workspace like a canvavs for painting. The upper tray is where the sound is painted, the lower tray stores the devices waiting to be added to a ever changing modular pattern of gear. The workspace of the dinett allowes only a few modules to connect. This reduction is a important formal element of "Soundinett" composition technique. It prevents from getting lost in gear while setting up the audio colour palette of electronic devices.
