English translation of reading:

"The hot-tempered criminal genius Egon Olsen is the leader of the gang, and it is usually he who is behind very imaginative plans, where the remedies can be a Tuborg, 100 balloons, an old cheese, zero-summits and a pipe cleaner. The films are largely built according to the same formula: Egon gets out of prison, after which he presents his new plan, which will make the gang millionaires. The gang's opponents are the police, the top of society, financial criminals and Bøffen. Egon is often in prison and shares a cell with a lawyer or other high-ranking citizen who "knows good news" and can provide Egon with the information the gang leader needs in his brilliant plans, where everything is timed and orchestrated.

Most movies end with Egon being caught by the police and put behind bars. Sometimes because the police can't get to the real mastermind and take what they can find. As detective assistant Jensen puts it: "The only thing the police can do when the really big criminals come by is to offer them protection" (quote from the last exploits of the Olsen Gang). When the police come, Benny and Kjeld always manage to escape, usually through the back door, which the police in the Olsen Gang never thought of covering."*

Glimpse of a former self (naviarhaiku526)

Used Pigments and its FX to generate some drippy splong sounds. Feel free to warp, cut, resample or whatever you feel like.

Key is C Major even though its not that tonal and tempo is 100 BPM.

Splong

Splong 1 of 3 (disquiet0636)

For the second third of what will become a trio, I improvised over the neat track: https://soundcloud.com/encym/neat_disorder_disquiet0636?si=b9ddc52764ed4a2aa016f867b517e4fc&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing by @encym

The right side was made with a meaty and glassy combo instrument using Pigments and Falcon. 
Following the approach of the original track on the left, I made a sparse arrangement, with plenty of air and spectrum for future collaborators.

encym & undermulden - Picks & String 2 of 3 (disquiet0637)

For my second attempt this week, I chose the soothing track (left) https://soundcloud.com/fake-genius/disquiet0636-drma by @fake-genius and ran a weird generative Pigments patch alongside of it (right). 

The DRMA track had a lullaby vibe to it and to me the melodic moans in the patch ended up sounding like androids. The patch uses three square oscillators and some granular sampling. 

Sequence was keyed to D minor and 84 BPM, but its a bit loose.

fakeg3nius & undermulden - Do Androids Dream of Sleep 2 of 3 (disquiet0637)

I used the gorgeous duo track: https://soundcloud.com/user-970962304/semantic-field-daniel-diaz-euclidean-disquiet0637?si=712777ecd62e482d9791ff25b7f500cf&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing by @user-970962304 and @daniel-diaz as my trio finisher. 

This required a delicate touch and I stuffed myself in the center, where I hope to do the original tracks justice. I did not alter the duo track in anyway, just some glue and EQ for the mastering.

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”
