disquiet0566 - Outside Appliance Melody

This track is my entry for #disquiet0566 and was inspired by Satie's musique d'ameublement. 

Its function is to enhance your thoughts when you are sitting outside in your garden.  If listened to repeatedly, might provoke an epiphany or trigger a dream-enhanced power nap. It consists mostly of very simple arpeggios stacked and delayed with underwater reverb.

Musique de Jardin [disquiet0566]

This weeks mission was to record a piece of music that moves between — and perhaps even overlays — 5/8, 6/8, and 7/8 time signatures.

NonDisquiet For Peaches (disquiet0569) by Daniel Burke.
Was reading a piece in a magazine at the end of a long trip up the Oregon River in 1997 about gratitude. The punchline was “the key to contentment is an attitude of gratitude”. Still working that 25 years later but grateful to have come across it, as it was needed and I have found it works. I continue to try to recognize and acknowledge as much as possible. This piece is dedicated to my wonderful wife Laurie who was delivered to my doorstep (literally) by some guardian angels (almost literally) just in the nick of time. Its a great story I won’t bore you with but suffice to say she is the best thing that has happened for me this lifetime and I express that as often as I can.
I started out thinking to make a piece as gentle and kind as she is, with a nod to the magical & beautiful music of the 1988 album Plux Quba by Nuno Canavarro, which we both love. Music that inspired Oval, Microstoria the rest of the A-Music crew in Germany.

The piece quickly moved towards the Eno/Budd/Frippery I am increasingly falling into... Started with the Roland Jupiter-6 lovely marimba like patch and developed a theme which was played around with and replicated/altered with another track of digital piano. Added in an Arturia Analog IV Synclavier patch for a few slight synth/stringish swells, finally added 2 guitar overdubs and a few very distant field recordings made in Mexico and Spain.

I made a shaker from a pill bottle and some mung beans. I started off trying to make something percussive, but that didn’t go very far. I discovered that the shaker made some great textures when rolled around a stereo mic and fed through a non-linear reverb, then drowned the whole thing out with drones from my Elmyra.

Pill Bottle (disquiet0577)

I liked the beautifully restrained solo piano track by @bellyfullofstars and unrestrained it by duplicating it and putting one copy each through two different tape loopers.  I added some choral vocalizations to pick up some of the overtones of the piano.
