Recorded, mixed & mastered on 16 Jan 2025 by Jim Lemanowicz at Blissville Electro-Magnetic Laboratories of Massapequa.
Using an AI-generated drum generator I had put together this week, I generated some midi, used some for bass and some for drums. I won't get into too many details but the sustained sound is a bassoon or sample or something. It reminded me a little of Cale's viola on the first VU.
For this I thought of some innocent with headphones on...in some 80s shock suspense horror film out for a walk after an argument with the parents unaware that they were being followed by some evil thing. Kind of lulled away from intense emotion and zoning out to something not too engaging but not without movement. Maybe the result of the Walkman's radio dial getting stuck after the device was thrown.
This might sound contrived but as I was coming up with this I was thinking of David Lynch's Wild At Heart and the loop of Wicked Game in the car crash scene. This was about 45 min before I knew he had died. I am sad beyond belief.

Check the thread here for a screenshot of the AI "drum machine" (it doesn't actually make a sound, just a MIDI export but I do have a Max For Live version, too). It's influenced by "the current position of Mars." https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0681-drama-course/70495/3?u=blisterpop
