Disquiet Junto 0663 was an invitation to compose music to accompany a spinning-platter hard drive. 

I thought I would miss this one, as I was traveling abroad these past two weeks without any gear, not even a pair of decent headphones. But inspiration struck at the kitchen table in a rented flat in Manchester UK and there was no ignoring the impulse. This piece was recorded off the tempo grid, the notes were painted in a piano roll, and the automation was done with a trackpad. A very different creation experience and set of constraints for me! 

I like a little percussion with my drones, so I used the new stem splitter feature in Logic Pro to extract a few isolated samples of the hard drive chitter to establish a rhythmic foundation.

You will experience the song differently played through computer speakers vs headphones, and I can't say which way is the right way.

The Lake Shore Drive Incident (disquiet0663)

"Black Eyes Stare Back"

After the cleansing & purification of the air, through the mist it appeared
It approached slowly & held me within it's cold embrace whispering....
Becoming part of me & transforming the innocent fear into awareness
Black Eyes Stare Back, have I not complied with the words it gave
Black Eyes Stare Black, empty of heart & soul, chanting from the grave

We have witnessed the adoration of higher Magick & divination
The capacity of our work is limitless, the silence has allowed their access
No longer drowning, those dreaded nightmares gave birth to secret pathways

Year's end,
all corners
of this floating world, swept.

The haiku more or less said it all for this one, so yes a bit obvious but had to be done. I knew I was going to start and end with collages of samples so created sequenced elements and some semi-random pings in virtual modular using VCV Rack. As usual I set up multi-track recording and physical controls then recorded a live one take improvisation. 

I then added the sampled elements, initially the New Year midnight chimes, these are my own recording. The bell as recorded didn't fit the final mis so I pitched it down a couple of semitones.

All the other samples are from Freesound:
