©2020 JD Torian SWU Spring 2020, Song #4 ---------- Verse 1 I don’t want you gone But it’s all you wanna’ be Another torn-up, lonely part Of my everyday reality You called the stop So I’ll go on hurting truly *// Join the club of the all down hearts Partners in misery Verse 2 I didn’t think it could end Sliding hourglass sand, you see Even when I’d throw those darts You’d throw ‘em right back at m...

©2019 JD Torian 52 week song group, Song #51 ----------------------------------------- Verse 1 I’m not really known out there for my kindness That’s really probably why I don’t have many friends Trying to work it out from the beginning So I can get on down to that happy end Verse 2 Doo-doo Chorus I wasn’t thinking Purple hanging Verse 3 A little—maybe, overly concerned with winning But I cross tha...

©2019 jd torian I recorded some cicadas out North Zulch, TX, last evening. I knew the rhythm wold be a bear, but I think I got everything tucked in pretty well. I also included a weird voicemail I got, and when I dropped it into Ableton it went nuts and really made the track. ---------------------- More on this 394th weekly Disquiet Junto project — You & Me / The Assignment: Accompany the music ma...

©2019 JD Torian I took my strings from 391, and since this is only my third track w/ DJ, I only reused one element. Also went 100% off grid. The drums are very-off but kind-of worked. Every instrument had its own time, so I went with acoustic guitar and drums running together. It all sits together if you give it a shot. Standard Ableton drum kit + 2 instances of Analog + moody acoustic chords (sam...

*please use and reuse as you see fit.* Disquiet Junto #391 I grabbed about 30 seconds of random radio from the 88-ish, lower-end of the dial. I have a magical relationship with an old Sony Sport jambox I picked up recently. All went into Ableton w/ the following instruments: Ableton Analog, Arturia Piano, Arturia Analog Lab 4, and stock 606 samples. Quick and simple.
