ἄνδρα μοι ἔννεπε, μοῦσα, πολύτροπον (Disquiet0345) by JamesHumbers

Second piece for the disquiet junto. The challenge this week was to create our own drumkit to celebrate 808 day. I've been spending the last 2 weeks re-orchestrating the "Odysseus : Live" project (https://vimeo.com/219463860) for chamber orchestra, synths, and 4 voices, so I've been listening to Luka Lesson's beautiful tones every day. The piece starts with a short quote from the very opening of the show, which I then sampled and processed to create the drum kit.

The only other sound used is SonicCouture's "Skiddaw Stones" (http://www.soniccouture.com/en/products/26-percussion/g4-the-skiddaw-stones/), a 180 year old lithophone from the part of the world that I grew up in. I'd bought this 5 years ago, and never used it ...

The "drums" come, processed and unprocessed, *after* the track (sorry, I'm naughty, the instructions said they should come first, but how's that a way to start a track? ;) )
