Glimpse of a former self (naviarhaiku526)

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.

This week's haiku challenge:

Stretching ahead -
the straight road,
loneliness.

A wandering poet and ascetic Zen priest, Santōka was a disciple of Ogiwara Seisensui, one of the first poets to discard the traditional use of the 5-7-5 structure in haiku.

Santōka’s poetry emphasizes the necessity of sabi (solitude) in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and serenity.

Fog Clears Away (naviarhaiku564)

This week's haiku challenge:

telegraph pole
toppled down by
the tempest

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.”

Disquiet Junto Project 0696: Chain of Layers

The Assignment: Make music change by altering its layers.

Step 1: Record 10 to 15 layers of continuous sound.

Step 2: Create a piece of music in which you only change the relative presence of those individual layers from Step 1 over time. Some light effects and panning are certainly fine, but the majority of the impact should be how the prominence of the individual layers changes.
