with up so floating many bells down

for @disquiet junto #17 "transition"

Plan, in three steps:

First step: At some point during the day, make a field recording of the world around you. Then select a 30-second segment from it. (Please, don't include other people's voices without their knowledge unless you are absolutely certain doing so is legal wherever it is you make the recording.)

Second step: Choose one of the following two preexisting tracks and select a 30-second segment:

Option 1: http://archive.org/download/zero130/01AControlledBurn.mp3
Option 2: http://archive.org/download/WM074_900/WM074-03_64kb.mp3

Third step: Create a new track in which your field recording can be heard to slowly transition into the preexisting track. You can add whatever you like to the new track, and you can transform the field recording and the preexisting track. However, the first five seconds of your field recording and the last 5 seconds of the pre-existing track should be left untouched, aside from fading in and out. The goal is for the transition to be as indiscernible, as seamless, as you can achieve in the time allotted for production.

and these fragments of E. E. Cummings' "29" from 50 Poems:

anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did.
[..]
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
[..]

It's not a super-bona-fide field recording, i suppose; i was sitting outside reading some Cummings
(50 Poems, 29: anyone lived in a pretty how town ..)
i programmed supercollider.sf.net to cut that up, and the tail end of the Lee Rosevere track (thanks!)
and to play one cut of each in sync, with some randomness in the length of the cuts and the frequency of the beats.
Then faded out with the tail end of Rosevere.
