Duke Ellington In Twin Peaks (disquiet0317) by Ethan Hein

A trio by three strangers, working asynchronously.

Part one is "Six Legged Chair" by Mark Lentezner: https://soundcloud.com/mtnviewmark-bits/0315-six-legged-chair-disquiet0315

Part two is "Twin Chairs" by Daniel Diaz, which I arrived at via shuffling the Junto playlist until I heard something I liked: https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/twin-chairs-disquiet0316?in=disquiet/sets/disquiet-junto-project-0316-el

I added samples of two Ellington tracks: trombone from a 1930s recording of "The Mooche", and finger cymbals and bass from "Chinoiserie", recorded more than thirty years later. The trombone follows the 3/4 meter of Mark and Daniel's parts, while the cymbal/bass track is in 4/4 so it cycles in and out of phase.
