Disquiet Junto Project 0461 - Goldilocks Zone: Navigate a sonic space between the hospitable and the inhospitable.

Follow me on Bandcamp: https://krakenkraft.bandcamp.com/

Gliese 1061 is supposed to have 3 planets a, b and c, orbiting around he star itself, partly in the circumstellar habitable zone. The track uses mainly three sounds, which try to meander beetween habitable and inhabitable, more in terms of rhythm then of noise and dissonance. It maybe could have been more inhabitable, but for me it really feels perfectly inconvenient. ;-)

Gliese 1061 [disquiet0461]

This has been a stormy fall, and in Finland has been already 40 days with stormy wind speeds as the average is 27 a year.  A small, but intense low pressure passed over creating wind speeds up to 31,3 m/s in the gusts and 27 m/s as average. 

I couldn’t resist recording this storm just in our backyard as it was evident when I opened the front door in the morning that this wind is going to make damage. (The picture)

Recording storms creates mostly undefined white noise that’s not very pleasant to listen. But it seems, that when the wind gets hard enough, there occurs (more or less) strange noise patterns with regular shapes that can make it sound interesting. 

In situ I could hear cars passing and chainsaws running.  I hope there’s a bit of this weird noise left in this recording, at least when listening with headphones.

And yes, when the gusts were as strongest, two trees come down. One pine on the roof of our neighbors sauna building 6.50 and an other one with the tree trunk breaking 8.28
