Disquiet Junto 0665 Clicks + Cuts Music Factory
The Junto assignment this week is to "Record a track in honor of the late Achim Szepanski."
I liked the industrial minimalism and the emphasis on sampling, so I found some recordings made on my old work phone that I'd been meaning to remix.

The same women went on to form Lunachicks at the decompression event in Melbourne that followed.

After developing my Junto track I kept thinking I should do more with this draft.
I exported it a few times after marrying it with a video I shot at the Marea Bright exhibition currently in the Museum of the Riverina.
Today I pushed myself to add a lead part and developed a melancholy kinda melody to suit the haiku.
Disquiet Junto 0664 Mother Beat
The Junto assignment this week is to "Record a piece of music in 29/16 time."
It was about six months ago that I was talking with my son Oscar about how much I enjoy using strange time signatures as a prompt.
He started to talk about a Mother videogame, which is one that he's often discussed, explaining there's a penultimate level where the music is in 29/16.
I thought it sounded wild, so I played around and wrote some songs in Live using this time signature.
Then I told Marc that I thought it would be a fun prompt for the Junto.
This week he came back to me and, as Oscar is home from uni for the holidays, I got him to look at the wording and we added the detail about the name of the original tune in Mother 3.
Last night I began composing with the time signature and came up with a couple of ideas.
I might get back to working on the other, but thought I'd publish this one in the mean time.
Unfortunately I still have uni homework to complete.
