Would You Focus Please? (disquiet0321) by Daniel Diaz published on 2018-02-25T15:21:51Z Recording on the road, at 37°09'01.7"S 56°53'06.9"W Used what I have with me: the Requinto on the photo (taken on recording location) an instrument I bought in Tegucigalpa 22 years ago that proved to be a nice travel companion and perhaps the worst instrument I own. A real bastard when it comes for tuning and playing comfort. 8 tracks of it recorded with an AKG 451, then I converted one melody track to midi and triggered a lead synth on z3TA-2. Added some upright bass notes from my vault, notes I recorded 13000 km away from here long time ago, or in a different timeline.... A major, 168bpm in 7/4 time. Created for Disquiet Junto Project 0321: Let’s Active , 24th an d25th February 2018.

Love the name of this track. Gorgeous wide 80's chorus, sounds a bit like my Ibanez SC10. The damped plucks sound really percussive. Lovely tasteful progression. 2018-03-02T00:52:05Z Comment by schtean really nice 2018-03-01T04:21:49Z Comment by plusch Really love this piece!

Yes, you gotta keep it simple to make that bastard sound right. The strings are so high... 2018-02-26T00:06:07Z Comment by Suss Müsik Oh, that is lovely. Quite an emotive response from a simple melody. The instrument might be difficult but you're coaxing an amazing sound from it. 2018-02-25T22:59:12Z Comment by halF unusuaL Lovely! 2018-02-25T21:11:34Z Comment by mat wonderful! 2018-02-25T20:56:02Z Comment by Daniel Diaz @ethanhein: Thanks Ethan 2018-02-25T19:56:25Z Comment by Daniel Diaz @atmosphare: danke man. 2018-02-25T19:56:12Z Comment by Daniel Diaz @pixelorb69: thanks a lot André, glad you do. 2018-02-25T19:56:00Z Comment by pixelorb I could listen for hours... 2018-02-25T15:51:59Z Comment by Atmøsphäre very beautiful, congrats! 2018-02-25T15:40:31Z Comment by Ethan Hein Lovely 2018-02-25T15:35:20Z
