Disquiet Junto Project 0692 Combust a Move
The Disquiet Junto project this week is to "Record a piece of music in which the sound of fire — match, burner, cigarette, etc. — provides the primary source for the rhythmic track."
This morning I recorded the matches and lighter, then used a video from the 2016 Queensland Burning Man event to create a bass with Sinevibes Reactive.
Disquiet Junto 0691 Un-Ravel
In hindsight I can see how I got here, as there's been a lot of interest in my rapping recently. The kids at the primary school where I work often ask me to rhyme.
As I listened to Ravel I admired the strings and thought they would be great in a hiphop-style track. Then I slept on it and woke up thinking about putting words to it.
When I went to publish the result I looked again at the Junto assignment and wondered if I'd strayed too far?
There's no One Way
Last weekend I recorded a quick vocal performance and then spent the week making it work in two different tracks.
I like the rawness of the version above, then it was surprising how much the arrangement in the version below changed the tone of the delivery but I went further with edits and going pop.
Disquiet Junto 0690 Knot Bad
The Junto assignment this week is to "Interpret wood grain as a graphic score."
Funnily enough, wood grain has been a motif in my household in recent weeks.
My son and I brainstormed a short story idea about someone reading the rings on a slab of timber used as a table.
The River Red Gums in our region are long-living trees and often prompt my pondering about watching centuries pass.
Over the years I've used the image of these trees and the rings as a record, so it wasn't difficult to interpret wood grain except to keep the idea to a graphic score.
Here is an earlier recording of a River Red Gum.
