“I wrecked trains because I like to see people die. I like to hear them scream.” - Szilveszter Matuschka 

In September 1931 Matuschka was apprehended at the scene of the wreck of the Vienna Budapest Express, in which 24 people died and over 100 were severely injured. He had engineered the wreck, and others before that. The all too perverse motive for his bizarre crime soiled the front of his trousers. Imprisoned for life, he disappeared from prison during the closing stages of World War 2. His fate remains unknown.

All music and sound effects created  entirely in AUM on iPad, using several instances of the iVCS3 app. No other instruments used.

Closely Observed Trains

Different approaches - 'alternate routes' - for this Disquiet Junto contribution include creating a loop in FL Studio (which I rarely use and I also rarely use a straight continuously looping loop), using the wonderful apesoft iVCS3 iPad app for the mad whistling barking Synthi track (rather than the also-but-differently-wonderful Arturia plugin), and making good use of the amazing MeldaProduction MMorph (which I should definitely use more) ... The results are beautifully unusuaL, though, if a little crazy ... hope you can still enjoy!

halF alternatE [disquiet0614]

Welcome to halF unusuaL, an evolving space inspired by play in the spirit of ‘hai’ (meaning “fun” or “unusual” in the word haiku). Here, improvisation connects the unexpected, mining the boundary between music and non-music to shape sound worlds that feel oddly familiar in their oddity. Listen freely, explore deeply, and for the sounds to live for your eyes as well as your ears, please stop by the YouTube channel. Thank you for joining this journey! Your support helps keep this afloat ... and is HUGELY appreciated 🥰
