On the Union of the Knower with the Known | Prof. Robert Koons

My submission to the Disquiet Junto Project 0530 with the assignment: "Make the thing you think is the minimum viable music".
I like the elements of my music to have some connection, so three notes to make a chord would have been nice, but only two notes to make a melody is even better. No edits, no fancy timbres (the sounds are sinewaves), no interesting rhythms, the clock even runs at the default speed of 120bpm. But still I recognise this as music. It even sounds like a good ending, because the notes play a cadence.

Major thanks to Saga Söderback for having come up with this project.

Synthesis & editing. 

Outside of the Junto, the influence & dedication here was the attacks on Ukraine on these same days. Specifically, the reduction of the beautiful cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv & Odesa to rubble and panic by deception and bullying by the illegitimate government of Putin.

Sphere Of Influence (disquiet0530)

Disquiet Junto Project 0530: Minimally Viable Music
The Assignment: How much less is just shy of too little?

When I think in minimal music nature always comes to my mind. Birds and raindrops have been always there. Rhythm and melody, cycles and pulses are the expression of mother earth. This piece brings electronic pulses, cycles and noise together as an homage to music in nature.

This is part of Disquiet Junto Project 0530: Minimally Viable Music. See more at llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-pr…-viable-music/53064
