The rhythm has a real narrative here... Great interpretation!

I definitely can hear the movie you describe - somehow unsettling, the rhythm works well. Great track!

Disquiet Junto Project 0528: Landscape Architecture
The Assignment: Forge an unobtrusive path through musical flora.

I somehow felt the vegetation to be very alien, high frequency, fragile and stereo, the visitor of the flora low frequency, stabile and mono. From there on  I fumbled together things in Reaper. It got a bit lenghty, but I like it very much and needs it's time.

Fragile Vegetation [disquiet0528]

This track was inspired by the Disquiet Junto Project 0528 (details see below) and presents musical flora: An unobstrusive path symbolized by a simple melody line meanders through two different sections of a botanical garden. My thoughts drifted to the beautiful landscapes of the https://sichtungsgarten-hermannshof.de/. A Hohner Organetta was the perfect instruments to trace the path.

The evocative field-recording of trees and birds were provided by @blaukreuz on freesounds:

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.

Times Itself [disquiet0529]
Created as part of Disquiet Junto weekly project 0529:  to make a piece of music that engages with the number 23.
This track has bars of 23 beats, it is 23 bars long.
I doubt the ear can discern the 23beat bar -but the rhythm is 123&12&12&123&12&12&123
The track has 3 drum tracks – done in bitwig. A Spitfire Audio piano, cello and violin plus acoustic drone recording of a metal sheet and a bit crushed megaphone announcement (in Japanese).The metal sheet friction drone is gate sequenced to an Euclidian patter on a 23 beat cycle.
The scale for the piano and strings is E+ F+ A B C+
Think it would make good closing credits music for a psychological thriller where a serial killer feasts on minor celebrities and influencers. The agent assigned to the case of course has his demons and struggles with his own autism -only to discover no one else has empathy for the victims either. It could be called LIKES!

Times Itself [disquiet0529]

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.

[disquiet0529] The Grid

an excerpt from a larger work that I hope brings comfort in these unsettling times.

Too Much (excerpt)  disquiet0532

Interested in collaborative projects -  The more inappropriate the better.  London based. home built noise toys and circuits, broken tape recorders, hex bugs in biscuit tins. Field recordings of air conditioning outlets.broken cassettes. and maybe the odd bit of class gear.

maxims:

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

Try again, fail better
