Disquiet Junto 0669 Phonosynthesis
The Junto assignment this week is to "Make music to help a forest regenerate."
I went looking through my recent ideas and liked the way the organ holds this piece together with a sense of soul like that I can imagine is the role of fungal activity.
There's also the steady rhythm and I decided to give a sense of decay to the melody line, which is a significant contribution from fungi in a forest.
Disquiet Junto 0668 All Right Then, Keep Your Secrets

The Junto this week prompted a few ideas, but I settled on listening at the door.

I made a cool video at Modifyre to go with a track that's been a feature of live shows.
