Oh my goodness no sorry it was aimed entirely at me!!! I had to record my part 30% slower and edit it to get it working - sorry you mis interpreted it - I would never critique someone elseā€™s production choices. To avoid people missing my tone Iā€™ll edit out my comment but sorry again

Oh and @Glitcher my goodness now I see you make a comment that yours was a one take. I am so sorry that next to each other my comment 100% looks like snark at you which is so completely not my style!!

I write and post my bits before I listen to or read any other junto items so I hadnā€™t even seen your comment when I wrote mine.

Apologies again for the misunderstanding

Thatā€™s so good. I loved it. The accompanying video just makes it all the better, especially when the beat kicks in proper. The cranky bass stabs make the context of the latter video (i.e the go-go party) a bit unsettling; like a weird orgy, freakout or extreme violence - ala JG Ballard - is about to erupt. :smiley:

Well. this was enormous fun. There certainly could have been a weirder mashup. I admire so many musicians over a very broad sprectrum. But I made the most of this and wrote a quick and punchy tune in the style of the White Stripes, as if Rick Wakeman had sat in on keyboards. It cracks my up every time I listen to it. Hope you get a smile too.

This is a quick exercise in a mashup of a composition by Ludwig van Beethoven and the piano style of Angelo Badalamentiā€™s work on Twin Peaks. I used a lightly tweaked and slowed way down MIDI file of the work to drive a stock sampled piano in Live. Added some doom laden reverbs from Zynaptiq and Eventide. I treated the left and right hands very differently to accentuate the produced sound. I would call this a pastiche or simple study.

Here I tried to combine elements of Steve Reichā€™s Pulses with some Radiohead from the Kid A era. I crafted a Europa synthesizer patch from scratch to get the pulsing while the chord progression has a definite Radiohead influence (as most of my chord progressions do). I wouldnā€™t call it a song because it doesnā€™t change, itā€™s more a demonstration of an idea. I enjoyed making it, the disquiet prompt definitely provoked some creativity for me.

I tried to combine the dark unearthliness of Anji Cheung (https://anjicheung.bandcamp.com), whose music I feel very close to ever since I discovered it a few years ago and the raw energy of Cecil Taylorā€™s piano playing, which Iā€™ve always admired since I first experienced it in concert in 1983.

Wanted to try to combine an older SAW Aphex Twin set up with a Zappa-esque break, but I think I only succeeded a little bit, to be honest. I need to find a way to insert some jazzy-weird melodic line. Well, maybe Iā€™ll do that another time.

This piece to me, sounds as if you have captured some of the fascinating timbres that grabbed my attention when I was a lot younger. At the time though I just wanted to know what instrument it was.

My dad told me it was a synthesizer. I donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever forget it. Thanks for reminding me of happy times with this beautiful composition.

I hadnā€™t heard of R. Julius, but H. Yoshimura started showing up on my Youtube ā€œsuggested videosā€ lists about a year or two ago - is New Age retro now?

Thank you, thatā€™s very kind!

If you like this sound, I highly recommend Alessandro Cortiniā€™s three Forse albums made entirely on an Easel. They are synthesizer music distilled. No empty calories.

I think Iā€™ve got everything in the playlist, but if I missed your track, let me know:

This is very intriguing! Since you havenā€™t publicized what the fusion is of let me try guessing! The title is probably a hint but I canā€™t read what it could be. Alice Sara Ott? And the only gates in music I know are the control voltage ones.

Musically, it does sound like a blend of Reich and Preisner to me.

In any case, good work!

Calling it a pastiche is a disservice to the music. I admittedly avoided listening to this sooner because of this description.

In fact, it is very tastefully done and indeed sounds like Badalamenti! The mood is there, the phrasing is there, your choice of reverbs is very tasteful.

Very nice!
