getting back into disquiet junto a bit this year, me hopes, after year or fews absence. this track is made with the UDO Super Gemini. i wanted to do some fancy sequencing, and had all kinds of fancy compositional ideas to do with unringing a bell, but i ran into problems, so ended up just playing over myself a few times with the bell-like (plenty ring mod) patches I had created. the playing is really bad/i can't - but weirdly i feel this gives it, along with its simple nature, some kind of wonky heroism that does after all remind that there ain't no goin' back (unless we is torquin waaaaay back). peace peeps, all the best for 202555zzz.

naviarhaiku579 – Mount Asama
The event Bosun refers to is the eruption of Mount Asama in 1783, which instantly killed over 1,000 people. The toxic ash traveled 100 miles to Edo, making farmland useless and causing many more people to starve.

Lollipop Tingle (naviarhaiku581)

Nonexistence [naviarhaiku584]

Following this week's Disquiet Junto project this track was created using a historic recording of the Ravel string quartet from 1928.
This is the sound of a dream, dissolved beyond recognition, but still present as the conscious cause of this unconscious music.

The audio was transformed using spectral synthesizers and effect chains to create this dreamlike rendition. No other sounds or instruments were employed.

"Vars Ça Va"

Her favorite concert, the year before the accident. The details, a little blurrier with each retelling. The t-shirt, a little thinner with each cycle through the machines. The memories, slowly transforming into lint.

Disquiet 0695 invited us to take a piece of our own music and put it through a metaphorical dryer. What would be cast off, and what would remain?

I decided to start with "Mise-en-scene", the piece that I made back in September for prompt #0665: a glitchy, minimalist homage to Achim Szepanski. The original track featured a Møffenzeef Mødular Stargazer drone synth performance over complex 5/4 rhythmic patterns voiced with drum machine samples. 

To put the piece through the dryer, I decided to underlay a more regular and machine-like rhythm (an 8-bar 4/4 percussion part) and make the song get thinner over time. The 4/4 under 5/4 made for some interesting polyrhythms. I thinned out the song by slowly converging the cutoff frequencies of low- and hi-pass filters applied to all of the original tracks. By the end, nothing is left but the 4/4 rhythm of the machine winding down.
