Disquiet Junto 0460 Creative Destruction

The Disquiet Junto activity this week is to "arrive at a complicated, tortured sound" and I used a recent track to torture.

I've run the bass, ukulele and kick drum through effects pedals and a Sherman Filterbank.

The haiku shared by Naviar Records this week prompted me to think of things that bump.

Disquiet Junto 0459 From a Distance

The Disquiet Junto this week asks for a composition to be heard from a distance.

My inspiration was the church bells I can hear on quiet Sunday mornings.

Sean Booth on working with yourself

I’ve heard people say, “I’ll just pay somebody to do it for me,” and I’ll think, well, surely you’re not going to have all the weird little sort of ideas or thoughts along the way. It’s almost taking the joy out of it for yourself. I don’t know where it was decided that that work is necessarily soulless work, and that you can’t be inspired while you’re doing it. I quite like to build things and then forget how it works and then use it later on, and not really be able to remember what I was thinking about when I built it. It’s a little bit like working with yourself in a way, but from a time when you’re not aware of what you were thinking. You can get reacquainted with it in a sense, like you would with a person.

They seemed kinda boring on their own, so I added some drums.
