The world outside is under construction.

Who ordered the mission? Who‘s going to pay the in the end?
What will the world look like, will it turn out nice?
From inside its hard to figure it out.

Framing the view [disquiet0700]

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame. The Assignment: Share a peek out your window and some sounds inspired by the view.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0700 discussion thread on Lines:

Image of our front yard was taken through one of the bedroom windows. We’re lucky to live in a home surrounded by conifers and native California oaks. The calming view of the trees from the windows in some rooms make it seem like we’re in a forest rather than in a neighborhood with other people. I tried to convey the placid mood here. 

This was created in Ableton Live using Slate+Ash Choreographs, Spectres and Orchestral Tools Mirrors. Effects used were Soundtoys Spaceblender, Aberrant DSP SketchCassette II  and builtin reverb. A field recording from the front yard with a water fountain, birds, wind chimes and other ambient sounds was layered in. It was recorded using a Zoom F3 with right angle Pluggy mics. Happy 700th Disquiet Junto! Here’s to many more in the years ahead.

Disquiet Junto Project 0700: View Frame
The Assignment: Share the view and some sounds inspired by the view.

The cover picture shows the view from my window. I used a virtual modular system and wanted to create the feeling of crowded chaos, of structure and nervousness, of importance and frivolity. All from a distance, as I am still outside the picture looking out of the window.

The (cover) image does not perfectly equal the inner image I had in mind, as it is lazy sunday afternoon and vacation time, so the city is not that busy at the moment.

Prompt 701 of the Disquiet Junto had us break a piece of music into segments and fill the gaps with something new,

My contribution is an interpretation of Scelsi's "Quattro Pezzi su una nota sola", its four pieces interrupted by narrative interstitials. Features ebow on slide steel, piano, and organic vocals. The script was adapted from https://www.allmusic.com/composition/mc0002378353.

To Begin At The Beginning (Disquiet0705)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0705: Book Start. The Assignment: Let the beginning of a book help you begin a new piece of music.

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 07045 discussion thread on Lines:

“The girl and the elderly man descended the steep stairs to the channel's narrow beach and walked along by the water's edge. Several small fishing boats were moving out to sea, passing a freighter entering the bay, booms raised, a…” 

So starts the first story in a collection of fascinating and contemplative short stories in “The Infinite Passion of Expectation” by Gina Berriault. I randomly picked the book, which had been sitting on our bookshelf for years, having read it decades ago. The stories, which take place in or around San Francisco, remind me of a unique, and sometimes surreal time in my life when I lived and worked there. 

This was created in Ableton Live and was inspired by the opening lines of the story, the book itself, and my reflection of a time many years ago. Thank you, I really enjoyed this prompt, and the creative journey it sent me on.
