All the samples are from http://inbflat.net/ and I just put them together in a way that sounds good to me. It's pretty hard to make something that sounds bad from that website though :)

prologue: in recollection and amazement

this one's for the ones who stop to think 
this one's for the ones who always knew
this one's for the ones who see the absurdity

this was a place we lived in peace
a place we lived in silence
a place we lived together in light

the last time
is cloud nine
and you won't know
you're dead

but the saddest time
is the first time
you see
the last time
up ahead

how many days can you see through things
how frayed is a soul made of string
how many ways can a memory bring you down

what happened all the power burned out
what happened all that's certain's in doubt 
what happened all the love turned it back on us

there's no one around who doesn't think they know
nowhere you're left to be, no place left to go

Engage Duo (disquiet0368)

I used https://soundcloud.com/jesuisgentil/spoons-disquiet0367 as the track on which to base the new composition on. It features two soft synths playing arpeggios with automation to give them movement. I used a random number generator to find the spoons track. Really happy with it.

Disquiet Junto Project 0368: Engage Duo
The Assignment: Record the second third of a trio, adding to a pre-existing track.

Step 1: This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence that explores and encourages asynchronous collaboration. This week you will be adding music to a pre-existing track, which you will source from the previous week’s Junto project (disquiet.com/0367). Note that you aren’t creating a duet — you’re creating the second third of what will eventually be a trio. Keep this in mind.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music, on any instrumentation of your choice, as a complement to the pre-existing track. First, however, you must select the piece of music to which you will be adding your own music. There are more than 40 tracks to choose from, almost all of them in this playlist:

https://soundcloud.com/disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0367

And at least one more is available as part of a video in this discussion thread from last week:

https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0367-trio-initiate/

To select a track, you can listen through all that and choose one, or you can use a random number generator. (Note: it’s perfectly fine if more than one person uses the same original track as the basis for their piece.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly the length of the piece of music you selected in Step 2. Your track should complement the piece from Step 2, and leave room for an eventual third piece of music. When composing and recording your part, do not alter the original piece of music at all, except to pan the original fully to the left. In your finished audio track, your part should be panned fully to the right. To be clear: the track you upload won’t be your piece of music alone; it will be a combination of the track from Step 2 and yours.

Carlin McLellan's mate Mark + sevenism - Texas Nexus (disquiet0368)

The second week of a three-week Disquiet Junto collaboration project. I used the random number generator at random.org to select OHELEM's electric sitar drone track from last week. I added synthesized choir voices to continue the hypnotic meditative feel.

Trio the Second

Trio The Second - Disquiet0368

This track is part of the Disquiet Junto Project #0368. The objective of this step of the project is to choose another participant's musical submission from last week and record an additional accompaniment, with the idea that there will be one more addition next week. The new part is intended to be panned hard right.

Wind in the Lavender (Disquiet0368)

Existing track was already perfect but I could hear a piano slowly fading in, so that's what I added. 
I just made a simple repeated piano part using a VST piano - The Maverick (Native Instruments). I cut the highs and lows and put it in mono to try to leave space for everything. 
Added a VHS effect (AfroDJMac)to everything to make it feel nice and floating...

disquiet0369 Spooning underwater w/ TOTAL ENERGY & GENTIL

Sounds captured during several walks around lockdown Manhattan during the COVID-19 crisis in March 2020. Birds, sirens, ebbs and flows, does the city sound like a sea in parts? and a stray accordionist with Lara's Theme somewhere across the park. An oil tank truck struggles to reengage after stopping near the hospital, fossil fuel memories surging into the present.

This piece premiered as part of "Radio Free Plague Ship" Audio Zine (https://secretvenue.org/events/plagueship) on April 17, 2020.
