So after listing (again: thanks!), go and see if you can get the creative juices flowing again. You have an amzing collection of wonderful ideas and melodies already, so time to go experimenting and play those keys! That is if you have enough time...

For this week's Disquiet we've been asked to imagine a path through fragile vegetation. Two synths hooked up to Stochas provide the "vegetation" and another synth provides the "path", echoed by a guitar.

keep to the path [disquiet0528]

Track made for the disquiet junto challenge with the theme 'Landscape Architecture' - an unobtrusive path through musical flora...

IDEA
With this assignment I immidiately thought of long walks in forests following the smallest wildlife trails instead of marked paths. Sometimes you start somewhere that seems an almost impassable wilderless, but gentle steps in the soft green leads the way to a path unfolding.

COMPO
I started with simply Cmajor. The happy feel associated with the major scale felt appropriate for the feeling you get when you know you are on the right track. Like I did before, I played with a generative tool for a while and took some fragments.
The percussive/drum part is quite heavy (an 808 kick, snare and crash) for my normal way of working, but I felt like it really underlined the idea of a path getting more obvious as you go.
Now, I dont know wheter the end result does fit the assignment "unobtrusive path", but all the same I'm happy with what came out.

GEAR
DAW: Samplitude X3
VST: Arturia Jupiter-8, NI Kontakt instument, heavy use of stock plugins
HARDWARE: Elka Rhapsody, Roland D10, Zoom R24

Ouroboros & Enigma23 (disquiet0529)

Times Itself [disquiet0529]
Created as part of Disquiet Junto weekly project 0529:  to make a piece of music that engages with the number 23.
This track has bars of 23 beats, it is 23 bars long.
I doubt the ear can discern the 23beat bar -but the rhythm is 123&12&12&123&12&12&123
The track has 3 drum tracks – done in bitwig. A Spitfire Audio piano, cello and violin plus acoustic drone recording of a metal sheet and a bit crushed megaphone announcement (in Japanese).The metal sheet friction drone is gate sequenced to an Euclidian patter on a 23 beat cycle.
The scale for the piano and strings is E+ F+ A B C+
Think it would make good closing credits music for a psychological thriller where a serial killer feasts on minor celebrities and influencers. The agent assigned to the case of course has his demons and struggles with his own autism -only to discover no one else has empathy for the victims either. It could be called LIKES!

Times Itself [disquiet0529]

Disquiet0529 Question 23

It was a convoluted process recording this track.
I started recording 115 bars (23x5 (5=2+3))of a Numerology drum and synth patch  fed into beads. Playback was slowed to 2/3 speed and I played over the top by hopping through recordings on a Radio Music module to emulate Burroughs 23 Skidoo cutup piece.
My MacBook kept crashing when trying to bounce the track down and would hang whilst rebooting - this behaviour was probably coincidental and unrelated to the number 23.

l'humeur du poisson gris - disquiet0529

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt was to consider the various interesting aspects of the number 23. In this track, you'll hear sections of 5/4 time, a percussion pattern of 5 and then 2, and scales/arepeggios constructed of alternating minor 2nds and minor 3rds. Also, many of the sections modulate up by minor 2nds and minor 3rds. This was a fun challenge, I really enjoyed it!

Sounds provided by AudioThing's Noises and Spitfire Lab's new "Glass Piano" samples.

Daydream Drive-through

Core Frequency 417 Hz. [Dark Nature Concept]

Homeland is the first chapter of the Native American series — a powerful New Age dance album rooted in tradition, memory, and belonging. Every track carries the listener on a journey across sacred landscapes, where ancestral voices and the heartbeat of the earth unite in rhythm.

Tribal drums pulse like footsteps across ancient soil, airy flutes echo like calls over wide plains, and soaring strings weave melodies of strength, love, and reverence. From the meditative flow of River Spirit and the fiery energy of Voices of the Fire to the transcendent dance of Call of the Eagle and the celebratory warmth of Song of the Homeland, the album honors the eternal connection between people and the land they call home.

Both primal and uplifting, Homeland is more than music — it’s a story of roots, resilience, and the sacred bond between earth and spirit. Perfect for meditation, movement, or celebration, it lays the foundation for a larger odyssey that spans across elements, love, and the great beyond.
