Band rehearsal today! This is a postpunk project called Disaster Society, and has a performance focus. We're building up our first live set and the sound is coming together nicely. Can't wait for tonight.
On today's creative agenda: working on my set for next month’s Drone Day performance! Right now I'm re-familiarizing myself with the Moffenzeef Stargazer. What a fun piece of gear!

Disquiet Junto's 693rd prompt instructed us to sort a well-known melody by note and duration. I chose "Claire de Lune" as my source material. I don't read sheet music and my father didn't raise me to

Also in Disquiet Junto news: I was profiled on disquiet.com and had the chance to share some thoughts about studio practice, the importance of keeping a schedule, and how naming things is actually pretty easy.

My vintage Korg M3R got some play last night, on a meditative yet unsettling track I've called “It Takes Two to Dissociate”. Also features slide steel, electric guitar with ebow, and organic vocals.
