I 'misused' Microsoft Word to create this ... see the accompanying visuals at https://youtu.be/6dIBIYtLmE4 ... and hear the 'spinoff' track at https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-akjhdjsdmnn ... I think you'll agree, it's the best use of the word akjhdjsd,mnn to date ... 😁😜 ... Oh, and lead vocals by the Word robot! 🤖

This project is the second of three that are being done by the Disquiet Junto in collaboration with the 2025 Musikfestival Bern, which will be held in Switzerland from September 3 through 7. The festival topic this year is « Kette » — which translates, as the organization explains, to “Chain”: “Chains connect but they also bind. They create relationships but also restrictions. As a gift they look nice, feared when used in vice, and yet they can span bridges across fire and ice.” All three Junto projects will engage with the work of Svetlana Maraš, who is the Composer-in-Residence for the 2025 festival.

We are working again at the invitation of Tobias Reber, an early Junto participant, who is in charge of the educational activities of the festival. This is the seventh year in a row that the Junto has collaborated with Musikfestival Bern.

Errr ... lead vocals by the Word robot! 🎤🤖

So, this popped out of the process for yesterday's Disquiet Junto project ... I was originally going to use the Microsoft Word 'Read Aloud' function in that track, but got side-tracked in the key tapping noises and 'bips'! 🙊

You can hear the sister track at https://soundcloud.com/half-unusual/half-wrote-disquiet0702 ... and you'll also see where akjhdjds,mnn comes from ... underlined in red in the thumbnail because the wisdom of Word has designated it a spelling error ... 

Enjoy! 😁
