Disquiet Junto 0736 Feed Me

The Junto assignment is to: Write a piece of music emulating the dopamine engine that is social media. 

This is the last of the Chinchin videos that I downloaded from Archive.org and they’ve been fun to mix with my tracks by matching the tempo. 

I reached for it when I had the image of an automaton doomscrolling being all robotic. 

Like the video, all the song fragments came from my folder of unfinished Live files.

Then I had the idea of mashing it with the song I've been working on this afternoon.

It's not terrible and seems tangentially related to the subject matter.

Naviarhaiku630 – one leaf falls

The haiku shared by Naviar prompted me to remix parts that I recorded this week.

Disquiet Junto 0735 Spectrum Analysis

The Junto assignment this week is to "Write music inspired by a crayon" or specifically a colour.

It's been hot enough to melt a crayon in Leeton this week with temperatures in the mid-40s.

My colour is soft blue as I found myself fantasising about the winters in Canberra, where I grew up.

There you have those bright high-altitude skies, where the sunlight seems crisp yet the air is frigid. 

It brought to mind the crunch of frost and with it the "blonde assassin" in Emily Dickinson's poem, as well as the happy flowers and their impermanence.

So I riffed on her imagery and arrived at something about unrequited love, then riffed on the guitar.

A letter for you

 

Naviarhaiku629 – autumn storm

I was playing the drums when it occurred to me the beat might be a way to start working on a track.

The poem shared by Naviar Records came to mind, so I played in Live with adding a bass and synth part.
