Walking Pink Pussy Hat to Apex of Pukerua Bay Cliff in the Rain (disquiet0268) by Barkhausen published on 2017-02-17T12:09:04Z Murray Altheim: Guitar, Field Recording Photo credit: Murray Altheim This contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0268 was a not-entirely leisurely stroll that started at my front door and ended up at the top of the cliff overlooking Pukerua Bay towards Kapiti Island. Today it was raining so the island was obscured by clouds. You can hear me opening the front door, then an umbrella, then the front gate. I walked up to the next street and then into the bush. From there its about another five or six minutes upwards under the dark canopy of trees to emerge on the cliff top. This happens to be the place where Peter Jackson filmed various scenes of his first movie "Bad Taste" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxpk2NcZI1Q), about aliens that come to earth to eat humans. I have never experienced anything like that myself. My head was protected from the elements by a Pink Pussy Hat, sent to me from Eva, my new pen-pal in Miami. Solidarność! The bush walk was recorded using a Roland R-05 digital recorder, then overdubbed in one take with guitar.

Genre Abstract Comment by TWOBOB there. real rock opera playing for just a second 2017-03-16T11:23:58Z Comment by TWOBOB @barkhausen-nz: Yeah. I like the disquiet series. The walk stuff was inherently evolutionary thus crammed with win, the guitar and its irridescent delayed transmogrifications lent a subaquatic bent to the overall. All in, a win. 2017-03-16T11:21:26Z Comment by Barkhausen @twobob: I had to go back and listen to what I'd done on this, it kinda evolved quickly into its final form simply by following the constraints of the Disquiet Junto project. Constraints is good! 2017-03-16T10:13:39Z Comment by TWOBOB very engaging 2017-03-16T09:10:38Z Comment by Barkhausen @wilwilwil: Thanks - the whole effort was less than a half hour's work, and since I've done the walk so many times I feel like I didn't do it justice. Maybe try again some time... 2017-02-26T12:58:17Z Comment by Hypoid @barkhausen-nz: Yeah I feel especially privileged, at the foot of the Flatirons every day :-) 2017-02-22T00:39:56Z Comment by W:I:L very nice ambience 2017-02-20T18:13:26Z Comment by schtean "about aliens that come to earth to eat humans.

" ... haha 2017-02-20T15:23:27Z Comment by Barkhausen @user-651760074: Heh, well, I've spent a fair bit of time in Colorado and you're hardly wanting for good views there... but yeah, this one is ten minutes from my front door -- no complaints. 2017-02-20T12:39:00Z Comment by Barkhausen @user-651760074: Well, I think it's natural to walk in time, and people will naturally fall into a rhythm walking if one is suggested. In this case no, there was no music during the walk, just me walking up a familiar path rather quickly because I didn't want the track to be too long (I managed to get there in almost exactly ten minutes). 2017-02-20T12:37:00Z Comment by Hypoid What a view! 2017-02-19T17:40:40Z Comment by Hypoid Loads of atmosphere, very nice! Do you find yourself walking in time as well, and is this where that cool suspended path is? 2017-02-19T17:38:50Z Comment by Barkhausen @user-242143924: Haven't seen the movie so the reference (car racing) seems strange, but thanks. This was put together in less than a half hour tops, so yes, a rush. 2017-02-19T00:51:15Z Comment by FJNA very enjoyable piece of music(made me think about the movie Rush) 2017-02-18T01:44:41Z
