The mixed hardware approach is so nice and you've created such a beautiful, smeared soundscape. Thanks so much for using my track in your work!

Such a beautiful tape-ambiance! A very special, soothing atmosphere...

Dope! I need to find my microcassette recorder now.  Loving the ending with the extra noise.

Starts out like an old tape machine left out playing in a field in the aftermath of a nuclear accident. Fiction and fact at the same time.

The fade out of the melody is slow & captivating:)

This was my contribution for the collaborative Disquiet Junto Project 0610: Speed Limit Pt 2

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0610 discussion thread:

Ended up using part 1 compositions by @Timshel0, @dequalsrxt, and @tristan_louth_robins for this piece since they all seemed to work well with the Basinski style vibe I had in mind. I layered them into Ableton Live at 60 BPM and edited the audio in various ways by stretching, warping, chopping and looping the samples. Thank you to the three creators for the opportunity to use these creations, but also apologies for my excessive manipulation and mangling of your source audio.  

I recorded the mix onto a Panasonic RN-125 microcassette recorder and then, played it back into Ableton at half speed. Final tempo should be around 30 BPM. Added plugin effects from Arturia Rev Intensity (reverb), Phonolyth Cascade (reverb), Soundghost Drift (for more tape effects) and AudioThing Noises to the final mix.

The ambiguous title was inspired by reflecting on news headlines referencing "...a fragile peace" in conflict areas around the world.
