This week the Disquiet Junto project harks back to the early Insta/gr/ambient direction and, while I didn't participate in the first one in 2011, I can think of at least one previous response to an image.
I've remixed my recent track for the Naviar Haiku and edited the lyrics I wrote about climate change because the image looks like the bushfire smoke seen in Australia about a year ago.
Again I've turned to M-Tron for inspiration, from the initial cha cha loop to the choir, then ended up with a more dance-oriented track.
The bassline started with one of the Ableton Live drumkits and then was enhanced with Pendulate by Newfangled Audio.
At once I was thinking how the planet is burning and the moon shifts the tides and how humans are largely made of water.
As a result the song has lyrics that reflect all these ideas and a video of a burlesque dancer.
