where are you (disquiet0323) by sevenism published on 2018-03-11T13:39:41Z i had an idea of what i wanted to do - i was gonna do some harsh noise interspersed with gongs. the idea being that the music is not imbued with peace but rather that peace is a byproduct of being present where you are. of course, there's still the intent of making meditation music : indirectly influenced by the new agey nicey nicey bollox i was trying to avoid. fortunately i forgot about all this. i went to the buddhist centre for a meditate and then had to rush to some work. later i was making some music (classical instrumetns in iris 2) feeling peaceful and present but also with an undercurrent of unaccepted stress and anxiety. an important insight from meditation is how complex my inner emotional landscape can be. once i realized this was appropriate for the junto, i stretched the track to 7 minutes and recorded my meditation bowl (there happened to be a penny in there which made a nice buzz) i can hear my sense of peace in the track but also the dissonance and distortion . . https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0323-music-for-meditation/ Disquiet Junto Project 0323: Music for Meditation Record a piece of music suited to meditation. Step 1: Consider music appropriate for meditation. Think of the sounds, the tones, the forms that might suit such a thing. Step 2: Record a short piece of music for meditation. Make your track a set number of minutes (that is, a length divisible by 60 seconds), preferably between 7 minutes and 20 minutes. Whatever length you choose, insert a bell/chime sound precisely one minute after the track begins and precisely one minute before the track comes to an end.

Great job. I think the word is 'hypnagogic" :-) The stretching works super-well. And a well-placed penny! 2018-03-13T10:48:00Z Comment by halF unusuaL Amazing bell sound! 2018-03-13T05:51:43Z
