First I started thinking about music I might be making in 6 months, then instruments and combinations that I’d planned to pursue yet haven’t found the time yet… then started to make a bed for my clarinet through modular ideas to play over and found some bass from times past which I developed with beats and synths, then ran out of time to add the clari… The future is still coming!

Gotta say this totally works as a trilogy. The original starts off quite Porcupine Tree-like with the 7/4 signature but in the finale turns to Tiersen territory, only to be quickly taken over by the vintage synth leads that bring Clannad to mind. It’s very gentle

The second version reverses this transition, with the synths being front and center from the beginning, while an open strum only appears in the finale. Both ideas are good and this version’s dominant resolution in the theme is more subtle which I like.

Finally, this third installment grows into some Discipline-era King Crimson. You’re inviting new harmonies and there’s some grit unseen in the previous two. It makes it hit harder. The e-bow solo starts of like Equatorial Stars but the finale is Anathema darkness. It’s easily my favorite track from the Listed Ahead prompt.

Thanks for such a great comment, your insights are very important , this is music I didn’t share with any friends or other people besides this lines/junto/SC community so comments like yours and @Glitcher 's means a lot as I really plan to make something out of this, perhaps a trilogy mini EP could work.
These tracks all started as an arpeggio exercise inspired 100% on Fripp & Belew’s guitar work on Discipline era KC, and I’m a huge fan of Porcupine Tree so you are spot on.
Thanks a lot
cheers

What will it be like in six months… a roll of the dice, by any estimation… so I decided to lean into the idea of “6.” It’s in 6/8, I used almost exclusively Reaktor 6 instruments. I used the 6th preset in whatever bank I was using in the instrument (with some tweaks to fit the mix). The length is 150 bars, a multiple of 6 (I was going to do 6 * 19 for COVID 19, but it was too long for my tastes). It leans heavily on Am tonality which is the “vi” of C. There were other 6s along the way that were edited out, including using only six instruments, only six notes and so on. Hope you enjoy, wear a mask and please don’t get six.

Two chopped sines, distorted and robotised with some noise thrown in. A little late due to technical difficulties.

Imagine what the world will be like in six months, what your world will be like six months from today.

Listening ahead, I heard something similar to the saying “and this, too, shall pass away”. I took what was now and stitched together mundane ambiances I had recorded on the go in the past weeks including this weekend. They are sounds of everyday life, both in the city and outside of it. I hope they will, however different, continue to be so in six months.

Thank you very much :blush: I had told myself: this week, a DJP track had to be handed in no matter what!

That fireplace does not sound like something I could nestle next to and relax, I’d be afraid it would harvest my soul. Sweet! :laughing:
