soberingly cools the heat

under your old wind-beaten tower - #4268 (94R09 percent 268 left) by chair house 250821

Hello Dawn

The haiku:

revealing in the dark
the sadness of things
a fisherman's torch

pseudo whale-song and mellotron combining to create an air at least of melancholy, at best of sadness

another howl from the SpaceDog's kennel

The Path

Disquiet Junto 0716 challenged all of us to record a song for our band, Dense Fog Advisory.

This prompt really took me back— I actually did my Masters thesis on the DFA. I was fascinated with the story of how these two musicians from opposite sides of the planet, who never even knew each other's real names, could collaborate so closely, so intimately. Over the two years I spent among them, I learned what it is to play, what it is to work, and what it takes to recycle chloroflourocarbons at home. But most importantly, they taught me how to listen. ("Listen, Coraline," they said to me over and over.)

Anyway, I dug through my archives and found this dusty old mp3, an early version of one of my favorite deep cuts: "The Berners Street Hoax". What a great memory! One for fans of Dense Fog Advisory old and new.

Features Moog Minitaur, Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02, live guitar, and programmed drums.

More on the 716th weekly Disquiet Junto project, Dense Fog Advisory — The Assignment: That’s your band’s name; now record something — at https://disquiet.com/0716/.

Another snippet from Caligo Paean - beware of gifts when chasing gods : ) 

Caligo Paean is a 1 hour long sound piece installed on river front property in the town of Franklin, Tasmania as part of the exhibition "When The Fog Clears". It formed part of the Ten Days on The Island Festival March 2025.
The work was installed in several locations across the property including a stack of subs under an old bus, in the main exhibition space and in an abandoned shed some 40 metres from the main area . The speakers were 'tuned' quite differently depending on their location and the sound was not delay corrected with the result of each mini-installation merging with each other in odd sonic ways - kind of calling the listener from one spot to another. The the work features field recordings, percussion, piano, bass guitar and Intonarumori as well as this special one off choir : )

Caligo is the Ancient goddess of Chaos. Born of the fog she controls the darkness, dwells in the void and is as old as the primordial matter that created the universe. This work is a tribute to the goddess as she continues to influence our lives and, in the case of this installation, the site and concept informing the show.

Official press release below for The Fog Clears

Every day, the mists of the Huon Valley perform a seductive dance, gently obscuring and revealing contours of the fertile land and waters. Situated in The Watershed Franklin, When The Fog Clears features six artists from lutruwita / Tasmania exploring the region’s iconic mists through a variety of mediums including installation, sculpture, illustration, sound, and video.

Developed exclusively for Franklin, this exhibit extends from the waterfront itself into the chambers, kilns, and rafters of the shed, inviting visitors to consider fog as an atmosphere that can cloak us in unexpected ways.
