Episode Synopsis "Interior [disquiet0419-Dischoir]"

Music by Broken Hours, realized at Drummysgroin, January 10-11, 2020, this is my thirty-third piece submitted under the kind auspices of Disquiet Junto, a special and important project to which I am grateful to contribute. The project instructions were to create a piece of choral music from the provided samples. Before proceeding, I chose to look up the definition of "choral music." I also searched the term in my preferred music streaming service to obtain some examples. Satisfied that I had some leeway, I audited all of the samples consecutively, and pushed them around in Reaper. I soon realized that this would be fun, and that it could go anywhere. I plucked a few samples from here and there, added some midi instruments, and the piece developed somewhat quickly(relative to my usual pace). The bedding is a band-pass equalized ambient recording in Drummysgroin, captured while working on the project. Interior. It's good to get this out there. My intentions shifted from attempting a piece with complexity, schizo-layered with fragments of things I had been working on already in different keys and time signatures. I had also decided I wanted to make the next mournful thing, reflecting my own feelings lately. This latter inclination carried the day. When I come to a point during the work that I well up and shiver a bit, I know I've done what I'm supposed to do. Thank you to all of the Junto members who submitted samples; you contributed to the total palette. I used roughly nine of them. I know who some of you are, but I inadvertently overwrote a couple of file names in the process of gluing items to fit the time selection.
