something natural emerging from something virtual
love as a response to fear and hate

convolution / distortion fading into chorus / mastering / natural hiss

by circumstance & inadequacy i’ve not contributed to any of the Bassel Khartabil dedicated Juntos until now; i’m more than a little ambivalent about turning up now for this posthumous one - i really hope it isn’t somehow disrespectful. i’m sincerely saddened by his death and, fwiw, i mean well… nothing throws the intangible, ostensible, benefits of micro-cultural production into relief than somebody’s untimely death right? but what else to do? * everything *, really, is ultimately inadequate in the face of cruelty and injustice and, fundamentally, mortality…

Some of the sound sources here are so literal that i’m wary to describe them; i figure they can be inferred but if * you * really want me to spell 'em out, i will.

Apologies for over-running - again, it honestly feels somewhat disrespectful - but i felt i could just about structurally justify the length.

After having participated in the disquiet junto project 0271 and expressing with my music - or attempting to - the situation Bassel Khartabil was in, I noticed I I felt deeply sad.But not knowing about his circumstances, the task was to express hope as well. That made it easier for me. Now that we know that he is dead I feel deeply sad again, and attempted to express that in the mood of my contribution. It is not overall melancholic, because there always is hope

I noticed you didn’t show up on the SC playlist, maybe because of the missing “0” in the title? Just want everyone to find this great remix :slight_smile:

Oh, I overlooked that there was a time limit of about 2 minute, so I uploaded a shortened version to fit the rules

Disturbingly dark…yes, fitting to the story and circumstances…yes, disrespectful…not at all. It is a scary, sad and incomprehensible time there and I don’t think anyone has a lock on the best way cope with it. You made what you felt, no apologies necessary

I hadn’t heard of this fellow until I followed this collective. For some reason my first thoughts were of all those folks who died similar deaths fighting for a tradition that posterity will deem useless superstition… my second thoughts imagined posterity thinking the same of my humanist ideals an infinity of time from now… my third thoughts were “do the oppressors of people like him know something I don’t? are they aware of their mask for animal gratification, and maybe in their complete surrender to their compulsions and perversions, they realize they are in the purest form of humanity?.. that there is no other higher ideal to aspire to… ?” anyway here you go folks … saneLIV the depressing American gadfly at your service :stuck_out_tongue:

A Tenuous Beginning

  • It was very sad to hear of Bassel’s passing. This is my third Disquiet Junto piece for Bassel, so his story has become dear to me.
  • I approached this in terms of “something being brought to life.”
  • The pulsing sound could represent the beginning of a life, or an idea, or a project, or anything.
  • The ‘shakiness’ of the piece represents the fragility of any new thing coming into being.
  • I used to Kontakt instruments from ZapZorn Solstice Blue and two Alchemy instruments.
  • AudioThing’s FilterJam was applied to all four tracks to create the shaky feel.
