Disquiet Junto Project 0568: Slumber Mill
The Assignment: Make music inspired by a key chord from sleep research.

Thanks to Glitcher for proposing this project.

Step 1: We’re going to make music inspired by recent research on sleep habits. Read the article here:

Step 2: Think about the hallmarks of a nightmare.

Step 3: Spend some time with the C6/9 chord. The notes are C E G A D. (In other words: the root, major third, perfect fifth, major sixth, and major ninth.)

Step 4: Create a piece of music that begins with the hallmarks of a nightmare and then gradually transforms into a more positive piece through the use of piano chord C6/9.

Note: Feel free to use other chords or whatever but keep C6/9 primary in the transformation.

The Nightmare Ends (disquiet0568)

I'm oh too familiar with nightmares, often wish for sweeter dreams. Glad to know more of the C69 chord then. I had great fun doing this with the Garageband Clavs, strings and Steinway. Apart from a couple of accidental notes I just just the notes of the chord, evoking the nightmare through pitch bend, flangers and phasers.

Slumber Mill (disquiet0568)

"Create a piece of music that begins with the hallmarks of a nightmare and then gradually transforms into a more positive piece through the use of piano chord C6/9."

Generated using Sonic Pi. Dissonant notes converge into the C6/9 chord, the timbre softens, the pace slows, and what was hellish becomes soothing.
