I really like these two layers of voice over guitar. I can hear this evolving into a much longer piece- My life story kinda thing. 

Richard, this is the first time I've heard this…it's fantastic, not in a I'm yer pal so I'll say so way either. I actually find it really moving, not sure if that was your intention, but it's got a magical melancholic thing about it that renders it a triumphant symphony.

This track was created as response to the Disquiet Junto Project 0525: The composition is meant to be the first third of a trio. Two other artists can add their parts to build the final track.

This track is called 2π since π is my favourite magic number: It determines many processes in our world, it even can be seen as the base of music!
Among others π is found in the  formula for the period of an ideal mathematical pendulum first derived by Christiaan Huygens.

@bick-brannigan-840174692 took this track as basis for the Disquiet Junto Project and created a wonderful piece of music: https://soundcloud.com/bick-brannigan-840174692/not-a-rabble-rouser-duet-with-rabmusiclab

RabMusicLab also developed a complete track on this base, again honouring π: https://soundcloud.com/rabmusiclab/2pi_square_root_l_over_g

Ouroboros & Enigma23 (disquiet0529)

A response to Disquiet Junto 529: "Make a piece of music that engages with the number 23."

Four cycles are in play here: of 23, 19, 11 and 9 pulses (three primes and a fourth prime of 3 cheekily multiplied by 3, as 3 itself was too rapid). The tuning system is Hexany 1-3-9-11 which, beside the root, sums to 23 (3+9+11), a mirror of the pulses in tonality.

Disquiet0529 Question 23

“The sun is not the well-behaved neighbor we would like to imagine,” says Sten F. Odenwald, the author of a book entitled The 23rd Cycle: Learning to Live with a Stormy Star. During the year 2000, at the peak of the sun’s 23rd cycle (according to when scientists began tracking solar storm activity), the number of observed sunspots reached its highest recorded peak to that point. 

Geomagnetic storms are defined by changes in the disturbance-storm-time index (or DST), measured in units called nano-Tesla (nT). Think of it as something like barometric pressure, only on the sun. A geomagnetic storm is considered an intense “super-storm” when it reaches a minimum DST of less than —250 nT.

As the 23rd cycle closed in the year 2008, Odenwald warned that outbreaks of solar storm activity would only increase in future cycles. The historical models are already sobering; a geomagnetic storm caused the March1989 failure of Québec’s entire power grid, leaving six million people without electricity and causing auroras seen all the way to Texas. The minimum DST of this storm was —589 nT. (It would have been a delicious irony if the integer was 529, but alas).

With this cheerful tidbit in mind, Suss Müsik considered how the ionosphere of sound could be rendered unstable, causing fragments of foreboding beauty. A sampled bowl was refactored using a grain synthesizer, its shimmer used in parallel with a distressed organ sound. A Red Panda Particle pedal was used for the looping parts at 23 BPM.

The piece is titled DST —589 nT and was recorded live to 8-track.

Major thanks to Eanna Butler for helping come up with this project:

enormt minimal (Disquiet0530)

it was too long for 90 seconds so i chopped it up and double tracked. added the sound of art gallery and me playing a Fahey track in the distance. I spoke into the membrane of a turkish banjo likeinstrument for odd effect.     thanks...richard

maxims:

If you dont like the sound of out of tune guitars  then you dont like the sound of  guitars.

Try again, fail better
