WALK DON"T RUN



Reworking of music from earlier in 2018, ahead of albums to be released in 2019.

Disquiet Junto 0365 2018 Tracker



My Disquiet Junto audio journal includes one second from sixty videos produced during the year.

This machine

Disquiet Junto 0363 Gymnopédie Rats



The Junto this week asks for "Erik Satie’s 'Gymnopédie No. 1' in your chosen genre," which triggered some existential angst for me.

What genre am I?

Disquiet Junto 0362 Operational Surrealism



The Disquiet Junto this week develops a Surreal idea:
Make something as “beautiful as the chance meeting on a dissecting-table of a sewing-machine and an umbrella.”

The image of the sewing-machine and umbrella reveals their similar curves; and the dissecting-table to me suggests an editing suite.

Anyway, I started looking at the videos in my Disquiet Junto folder and noticed two that were similar length and tempo and key and, then a penny dropped, water themed.

Sunrise



Playing with a few recordings and using the drums as a gate for the bassline, which has also been warped up a couple of octaves and reversed.

Hairy tunnel



Some months ago Gavin was offering this big hairy kick drum and I had to have it

After a detour in Melbourne and some uncertainty about whether it would make the trip to Leeton, I've been recording with it.

The sound in this video came off my Rode Videomic, then passed through EQ and compression.
