1-100-10 (disquiet300) Celebrating "round" numbers, like 300, is all about numerology. Hence, I used numbers as a basis for most aspects of the composition: I took the factors of 300 in the order 5, 5, 2, 3, 2, as semitone steps. This leads to a 7sus4 chord with the 5th in the bass. I took the root to be D, since D4 is closest to 300Hz. So my chord is D7sus4/A. I knew one instrument had to be my Serge modular, which would play one evolving chord for the duration. I played the du-Touch w/a marimba sample, playing the chord 100 times. Lastly, a digital piano, playing the chord 10 times. 1-100-10. One other thought: D7sus4 wants to resolve, but this occasion is not an end, just a mile marker for the Junto,. So it is fitting to have no resolution.... -=- More on this 300th weekly Disquiet Junto project (3 chords x 100 seconds) at: https://disquiet.com/0300/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: https://disquiet.com/junto/

@mtnviewmark-bits You lucky thing is all I can say. I'm slowly building the Random Source Serge modules for Eurorack - that's the closest I can get

@half-unusual: She was annoyed that I'd plunked the keyboard down on the bed in the usual spot she slept... so she expressed her annoyance by sleeping through my entire working session.
