Interesting things, photons. Almost indestructible, it is estimated that some of them may be over thirteen billion years old. Let there be light…
Our hero finds itself propelled from a spiffy new LED globe through a fairly cheap paper lantern, emerging as a softer, more ambient version of its former self, but still with some of the old sparkle. Since this journey is only a few inches and our hero is travelling at 186,000 miles per second, the action has been slowed down somewhat.
A short chunk of sound borrowed from another track has been stretched, manipulated and filtered in an attempt to portray the journey of our plucky particle, from lightbulb to eyeball.
A little light music, then…

Disquiet Junto Project 0291: Lantern Effect
Make music that suggests the way a paper lantern filters light.
Step 1: Consider what might be called the “lantern effect” — the way light is filtered through the textured material of a paper lantern.
Step 2: Consider how the lantern effect, a visual phenomenon, might have a sonic corollary. That is, answer to the question: What would the lantern effect sound like?
Step 3: Record a short piece of music that evidences the lantern effect idea that arose from Step 1 and Step 2.
