Depicted is a picture of a picture of the RCA MKii synthesizer at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center from an exhibit "Sounding Circuits: Audible Histories" shown at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. These were early days in the history of electronic music. "Summer Breeze" tries to capture some of that innocence (some folks may even hear a little Laurie Spiegel in this) before it all turned into a mad rave.
This is a case study on the virtues of very light modulation - the piece is based on the sound of Plait's chord mode, with the morph feature lightly set in motion by a 1.6 volt waveform from a Zadar envelope generator which scans a  wavetable very subtly

Disquiet Junto 0426: Cellular Chorale

"Create a new piece of music using only the source audio. Use as many of the samples as you’d like, but don’t add other sounds, or process the samples to any extent more than slightly altering the individual material.

Background. Patricia Wolf has said of her original piece: “Cellular Chorus is a work of spatialized aleatoric music using smartphones to bring people physically closer to have an interactive and collective experience with light and sound. The piece is played by each user visiting Cellular Chorus on their smartphones. … The sounds I made are meant to harmonize. There is no right or wrong way to play them. The intention of this piece is to repurpose your smartphone for deep listening, creative experimentation, and to immerse groups of people in a sound and light environment with face to face interactions.”"

Disquiet Junto Project 0455: Inner Invertebrate. The Assignment: What does a moment (or a day) in the life of a jellyfish sound like to a jellyfish?

I was doing another track, Andromeda Blossoming https://soundcloud.com/winterer/andromeda-blossoming-studio-version, which was originally not meant to be some kind of underwater track and which is made with the App Samplr on iPad with some of my own tracks plus some cc0 field recordings from freesounds. In this track, I more or less imaginated another evolution of 'the andromeda strain', one of my favourite sci fi movies, with its strange "unfolding" effect on the lab screens in the movie.

However, a lot of it's sound seemed to fit to this disquiet, so I removed anything un-jellyfishy and un-underwatery and did some new balancing of the components. This Cassiopea andromeda lives on the bottom of the sea and she looks up to the billowing world above her…

***

This World is not Conclusion.
A sequel stands beyond -
Invisible, as Music -
But positive, as Sound -
It beckons, and it baffles -
Philosophy, dont know -
And through a Riddle, at the last -
Sagacity, must go -
To guess it, puzzles scholars -
To gain it, Men have borne
Contempt of Generations
And Crucifixion, shown -
Faith slips - and laughs, and rallies -
Blushes, if any see -
Plucks at a twig of Evidence -
And asks a Vane, the way -
Much Gesture, from the Pulpit -
Strong Hallelujahs roll -
Narcotics cannot still the Tooth
That nibbles at the soul -
