Ending, Ending... (Audio Journal 2016) [disquiet0261] by petemaskreplica

Disquiet Junto Project 0261: Audio Journal 2016: Create a sonic diary of the past year with a dozen five-second segments

For this I've taken one recording from each month of the year and used the approproate five seconds from the final minute of each (so the final 5 seconds of the last track, the penultimate 5 seconds of the penultimate track, etc.) as follows:

January: Parrots of Abbey Wood (a track created for the Cities and memory project "Dada Sounds")
February: Kitchen Suite (from my album Automatic Writing, written and recorded in February)
March: A first go on my hornet (an optical theremin with granular circuitry)
April: Gymnopedie, an improvisation on cello
May: Picking Up and Putting Down, (Disquiet project 0228, the second one I did)
June: Are You Proud To Be British? (track recorded in the wake of the referendum)
July: Ozymandias (Track created for Cities and Memory project "The Next Station" using field recording of the Emirates Airline Cable Car over the Thames)
August: Field Recording made in Marseille
September: Debut performance by my trio Black Rice
October: Tightrope Walker (actually recorded in December at the final rehearsal before the premiere, but I spent pretty much all of Ocober writing it so I think it's OK to have it here)
November: This Machine Is Ineffective Against Fascists (guitar improv recorded in the wake of the US Presidential Election)
December: When the Robots Take Over We Will All Just Be Glad They Are Not Trump (my last new nusic of 2016)

I'd say Happy New Year, but I think we'll just have to be content to get through this one.
