The Meditations Of Discarded Robots (disquiet0323) by MtnViewMark-Bits

I almost wasn't going to do this one - but then my partner needed to stay up late Sunday doing some volunteer work. So rather than go to bed, I stayed with him and worked quietly on this with headphones.

Apart from the bells (recycled from a previous Junto) I wanted to work with a group of field recordings and Elektrosluch device recordings I had... And so, I contemplated how does one make these ostensibly jarring sounds, meditative?

I worked more on form and timing relationships, and tried to not rely too much on filtering, delays, and reverb to smooth them. I was after a gritty sound, but meditative experience.

Composed and performed on the Digitakt. Then mixed with a bit of a slowed down copy of the take, and lightly EQ'd.
