"I was working on the recording of another work -- "The Shadow of Your Smile" [ https://soundcloud.com/michael-ash-sharbaugh/the-shadow-of-your-smile ] -- when I had 'mistakenly' recorded the two main sequences that make up this tune. I had, at the time, hoped to add them to the "Shadow" song, but, alas, they did not fit, but -- BOY[!!!] -- did they sound great nestled side by side one another as discrete tracks!
Therefore, I continued working on "Shadow," and put them on the desktop backburner in a folder called "put these audio files together." After remembering Marc's prompt a week ago -- "stop procrastinating and do ... some musical idea you’ve been putting off doing all year ... a riff, a new approach to an instrument you use, reworking an existing track ... whatever’s been on your mind," I busted them out, and just did it!
This 'junto' piece is almost a week late, but, as I have done with many other works based on Marc's prompts for the Disquiet Junto, I opened that aforementioned folder, and edited the hell out of the two tracks (snipping them into sections and juxtaposing them over a 3-minute duration), and added more sound (coyote calls, synth flute, and ambience-giving plug-ins -- delay, reverb, chorus, and phaser), and release it now.
Happy Holidaze, Everybody!"
