Wandering (Disquiet0322) by ikjoyce

This week's Junto is to make a piece of music that is designed to allow the mind to wander.

This is a self-playing modular synth track, using three sequencers that are interacting, attenuated and sampled at different time points to derive three related sequences, in a minor key. There are also occasional key changes, derived from a fourth sequencer. The three voices were set up to have dark timbres and have slow attacks, with lots of soft modulations to keep some interest.

I made a short video of the opening of this piece, just to show the synth in action on its own. (worlds most boring) video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y624GdOrfs0&feature=youtu.be
