To Begin At The Beginning (Disquiet0705)

it wasn't a binding agreement

This week's Disquiet Junto prompt asked us to use the first line of a favorite book as the inspiration for a piece of music. I selected David Byrne's "How Music Works", with the opening sentence "I had an extremely slow-dawning insight about creation."

I'm traveling this week, so away from my outboard gear, but I did bring along a mini keyboard and headphones so that I could still participate this week! Features several layers of software synths (mainly Alchemy) and a field recording made from the 3rd floor balcony of the flat we're renting while we're here.

I tried to keep this sparse (for me at least), following the idea of the "slow-dawning insight", while still capturing the chaos of the creative act. It's probably still unsettling, but I just can't help that.

Lyrics:
I can relate to that
but i did it with only one cat
didnt take two weeks
cause we had to get over there fast
during the shut- down 
we decided to get some more room
moved cross the country
while the world was spelling its own doom

disquiet0705 DeadTV.wav

A simple drone and I IV V progression, both from electric guitar, the latter part glitched thanks to a somewhat chaotic LFO, the former frozen from a single opening chord, the combination done live in VCV Rack over lunch. Very simple, a lot of fun. 

gl-i-iv-v-tched

produced in Bitwig Studio on a 199€ Windows 11 laptop with 4GB of RAM and an Intel N5030 CPU lol
used Analog Lab, Palindrome, Pivot, Icarus & impOSCar
my usual deconstructive serial in the vibe arrangement of Noise & space, hope you like it
