I returned to the Samplebrain tracks from a couple of weeks ago – I had subjected one of the results to my trusty demo copy of The Mangle. One of the original samples was of birdsong, and they reappear in an interestingly altered way, realistic and yet surrealistic/enhanced/dreamlike as well. Which may or may not be what this Disquiet is about. Or both.

The Assignment: What does this imaginary genre sound like?
Step 1: Think about what a genre means, where it begins, where it ends, what makes a genre a genre.
Step 2: Familiarize yourself with the concept of magical realism, most often associated with the fiction of such authors as Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Luis Borges, Alice Hoffman, and Haruki Murakami, among others.
Step 3: Imagine what “digital magical realism” would sound like, were it the name of a genre.
Step 4: Record a piece of music that sounds like what you think “digital magical realism” sounds like.
