By chance, the beginning of the summer vacation coincided with an exciting challenge from the Disquiet Junto and my recent acquisition of a vintage Yamaha PS55 keyboard [link: https://jimatwood.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/yamaha-ps-55-keyboard-wonder/]. I immediately decided to participate once again and make use of this new keyboard. Midway through the process, I struggled in piecing everything together, but ultimately, a unified and coherent final product emerged.

IDEA - Abstract with Arp
The task, of course, was to use different parts, so I wanted to record them on the PS55 first. I thought about recording various snippets and assigned them numbers on paper that corresponded to the values of a dice. I once heard about Jean-Hans Arp (1886 - 1966) [link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Arp] during an art academy lecture. He was associated with the Dada movement, which aimed to reject rationality. Arp chose to incorporate randomness into his artistic process by allowing paper fragments to fall onto a surface and affixing them wherever they landed. However, when you observe his creations, it's hard to believe that chance alone could produce such harmonious and orderly results. Arp likely made subtle adjustments to his compositions along the way.

COMPO
I started with AminMAJ7 and experimented with chord combinations. I structured the piece into three main sections. I included a supportive bassline and arpeggiated chords throughout the entirety of the song. Furthermore, I selected three primary voices with distinct melodies, labeled 1, 2, and 3. The relative presence of each voice was determined by the number I rolled on the dice, although I allowed for some flexibility in that regard. Melodies naturally emerged through improvisation over the chord progression. I recorded main rythm parts that come with the PS55, and then seperatly recorded the five fills. On places where a fill could be inserted I would let the dice decide which part to use.

GEAR
DAW: Samplitude X3
VST: Stock plugins
HARDWARE: Yamaha PS55, Korg Pandora, TASCAM FW1804, PONIC FIREFLY808 & Hudson guitar.

IMAGE
I created a collage loosely inspired by Arp's work. Then, I edited the photo to my liking using PhotoDemon.

I found this so difficult, but I did learn a lot. I haven't really programmed drums that much- only on this track and day 2. It has been a huge learning curve-but I am loving learning more and more about rhythm

Scattered Light - Drift (Slow Tone Collages)

Alle ore 2:10 del 27 gennaio 1967 il cantautore Luigi Tenco fu trovato morto nella sua stanza d’albergo, la 219 della dépendance dell’Hotel Savoy di Sanremo. Secondo la polizia, avvisata alle ore 2:45, fu la cantante Dalida, con la quale Tenco aveva gareggiato poche ore prima sul palco del Festival di Sanremo, a trovare il cadavere. Secondo altre ricostruzioni, invece, il corpo di Tenco sarebbe stato rinvenuto dall'amico e cantante Lucio Dalla che alloggiava nella stanza accanto. In proposito Lucio Dalla, nel 2011, disse: «Di Luigi ero molto amico e all’Hotel Savoy io alloggiavo proprio nella stanza accanto. Non mi accorsi di nulla. Quando mi avvicinai alla stanza vidi le gambe di Luigi steso a terra. Convinto di un malore mi misi a cercare un medico». Gino Paoli, talent scout e scopritore di Lucio Dalla, ha affermato in una intervista a Tintoria Podcast che Dalla, presente nella stanza accanto a quella di Tenco, fu uno dei primi a sentire lo sparo. Successivamente egli avrebbe dovuto cantare la canzone Bisogna saper perdere; questa cosa fu causa di una lite tra Lucio Dalla e Gino Paoli.

TENCO FREESTYLE

Now that I'm getting older
I've got pain in my shoulder
I'll go talk to the doctor
She said "You got a lot though...
You got the mental illness"
And I said "yes I know this"
"You know the consequences"
"Better come to your senses"

Overcome my defenses
Stop the false pretenses
No criminal offences
Pay all of the expenses
I brushed my hair this morning
Even though it was boring
I bought some soup these evening
Got home and started cleaning

I only cried like two times
I drank water with a lime
I woke up at seven
Didn't sleep til eleven

Now that I'm getting older
I've got pain in my shoulder
I'll go talk to the doctor
She said "You got a lot though...
You got the mental illness"
And I said "yes I know this"
"You know the consequences"
"Better come to your senses"

Now that I'm getting older
I've got pain in my shoulder
I'll go talk to the doctor
She said "You got a lot though...
You got the mental illness"
And I said "yes I know this"
"You know the consequences"
"Better come to your senses"
