Breathe into the Machine [disquiet0430] remix of Ethanhein by Zedkah

Breathe into the Machine [disquiet0430]

The assignment for this project was to record the second third of a potential trio. This carries on from last weeks project to start off the trio with a solo performance.
I have added an accompanying background to Ethan Hein's Harmonica Meditation.

This uses a self made instrument with a spring and several clock bells on stems which I bowed. These sounds were fed through a looper and a freeze pedal.
My thinking was the harmonica was the breath and I was adding the workings of the machine, possibly medical, but perhaps Wellsian science fiction device. The machine is benign but cant help suffocating the breath at times, unsympathetic. In a different way the machine is also magical, mysterious. The breath is defiant in holding on and exerts itself in the exuberant spirit of it's solo.
This week’s Disquiet Junto project is the second in a sequence intended to encourage and reward asynchronous collaboration.
