I’ve always had plants in my studio, and someone once told me that even if sunlight is limited, the constant presence of music playing every day helps keep the plants healthy. I don’t know about that, , but they look great and seem to grow steadily. “Record music to help a forest grow.” I believe that simply having musicians play acoustic instruments in the forest would only bring good to it.

Jamming in the studio with Bobby Rangell, March 2024, here we just improvise around this beautiful song by Stevie Wonder, in a bossa/ballad style. Only take, it was fun but we were just warming up to record some more stuff. Bobby Rangell: flute Daniel Diaz: electric bass guitar

This is a live electric guitar soundscape (recorded October 9th 2024 in Paris, France) for this haiku by: Jason Richardson Through a world of sound the only filter I have my discerning ear I used my 1984 Schecter Stratocaster with several pedals by Line6, Gamechanger Audio, Rodemberg and Seymour Duncan and my Boss volume pedal @naviar-records

I recorded this late night Thursday October 3rd 2024 and during the morning of today, next day, Friday. Tempo is 66 bpm I used 6 instances of Kontakt with creepy sounds and orchestral bursts. I recorded 6 tracks with toys and little percussions I had around the studio (sticks, crotales, a turtle shell, a "cuica") I used a photo by Vitaliy Shevchenko for the cover image. Congratulations @disquiet a...

Sometimes a junto challenge inspires me and makes me go for something new and unexpected. Rarely (very rarely) is it the other way around. This week's junto seems to be inspired by what I just did (have been doing for the last 2 days). I mentioned in a previous post my new instrument, the Ronroco built by Argentine luthier S. Vazquez a couple of months ago. I am recording a mini album (at the requ...

Hey, I've been recording a commissioned album using my new Ronroco (got it a month ago in Argentina and did my very first recording right [there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJBdmS7yqtk)) Now it's on my studio along with a fellow, old Ronroco I had and a little brother, my charango. I have to record 5-6 pieces using mostly that instrument with eventual appearances of other instruments and the...

The Assignment: Interpret the literal translation of “karaoke.” Step 1: You may or may not be familiar with the literal meaning of the word “karaoke.” The first two syllables are the Japanese word for “empty.” The final two syllables are an abbreviation of the Japanese word for “orchestra.” Consider how the term “empty orchestra” connects with the idea of karaoke. Step 2: Think about the term “emp...

Soundtrack for my possible birthday party one day... (I stopped throwing birthday parties for myself decades ago) This is a weird track, that started with a drum track (performed by Javier Estrella in Paris 20 years ago) for a project I was working that was scrapped and never used. A couple of years later, when that project was confirmed dead, I removed all the other instruments and vocals and rec...

I dunno, maybe it's springtime in sunny Paris, but I felt the urge for some old disco vibes. So I went for the duo. Lefty Drone, Right English disquiet0637 https://soundcloud.com/skylarkduquesne/lefty-drone-right-english-disquiet0637 by skylark duquensne (David Totten) and alanblip I didn’t change the original tracks at all, I behaved this time. I added a beat, for that 50 years old euro-disco vib...

Krautrockish I promise I was thinking on making this a bit Krautrock when I started, doesn’t sound like that now, I guess... Based on rightward [disquiet0637] by LazenbeeIndustries and John Wright https://soundcloud.com/lazenbeeindustries/rightward-feat-john-wright-disquiet0637 I just added a 808 kick and played bass. Most satisfying and less time consuming on the lot, but I don’t think it works,...

I liked this track by he_nu_ri (@user-807707609) & mikey_a (@mikey_a) https://soundcloud.com/mikey_a/both-sides-of-the-river-disquiet0637 I just jammed on top of it with my accordina but it was too much of the three of us, so I split the stereo original, separated he_nu_ri, mikey_a and myself on 3 tracks (softly panned like the original with mine at centre) and made some very creative use of the d...
