Disquiet Junto Project 0005: “Layering Reality”
As per the given instructions, this week’s project for The Disquiet Junto is based around an un-edited field recording which serves as the foundation of our track. The track can be built upon, but the field recording must remain as the primary focus.
Audio recorded with Tascam PCM Recorder for iPhone at approximately 7:25pm in Providence, RI.
Over 5 train tracks and a river.
Under the Providence Place Mall.
In between 2 parking garages.
Just a few yards away from Interstate 95.
The accompanying audio is made up of 3 recordings made with the Harvestman modular, triggered by Make Noise Pressure Points and/or René which I recorded on the 23rd of January, 2012.
I added an instance of D16’s Toraverb to one of the modular sequences in post, everything else in this mix is dry.
The above images are taken at the site of the main recording.
Gold
Originally written on the G4, reworked on the BlackBook.
Do you remember the way we were when everything changed?
We were as high as the weather was cold
And in the air we were breathing was the essence of fate
Now how strange we would feel without
I’d been waiting in vein for years
Expecting to change
Nothing’s different now that I’m older
Always needing repairs
Tossing books down the stairs
I’m still trying to figure it out
Look at me out there alone in the cold
Look at me out trying to lighten my load
Look at me always so far from my home
When you look at me everything turns into gold
So after hundreds of days
We’ve loved in hundreds of ways
There’s a feeling that never gets old
I’m collecting the rain today
In cups with your name
I’ll save them till the rain turns to snow
Look at me out there alone in the cold
Look at me out trying to lighten my load
Look at me always so far from my home
When you look at me everything turns into gold

Plastic (20080518 Mix)
I’ve been working (or not working) on this thing since 2004. An oldie but a goodie, in my opinion.
Falling asleep, I lay beside you
If you get lost in your dreams I’ll come and find you
No need to worry
Dry your tears
I’ll make your winters disappear
And the circle of lies completes
I’m the last thing you could need
With the moonlight on your skin
Through the plastic bag you’re in

Ladder
Originally written as a commission for a dance company. Ended up being too intense to be used. Funny how that works.

Scarecrow
She wakes frozen
Heartbreak, roses
You vow never to go back there again
Loose lips, bullseye
Go dance tonight
Alright, I’ll invite myself to stay
1, 2 before you feel the floor inside spinning out from under your bed
Don’t think, forget
Your face
Reject all night
Loneliness can be so serene
Like your cheap philosophy
I’m just living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
I’m just living in a dream
Ripped jeans, lipstick
Don’t pay for it, it’s fine
I know what you cam here to see
Light’s out, lay down
Don’t make a sound
This town is draining all the life out of me
Open window
Away you go
You know who you never made it to see
Discord
Goodbyes
Fade out supplies I find
Everyone is looking at me
Like your cheap philosophy
I’m just living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
Throw another book at me
I’m still living in a dream
Like a scarecrow in the sea
I’m just living out my dreams
I’m just living in a dream

Sticky
I started this file last January and really haven’t touched it since. I was looking to continue working on a faster song and came across this one while going through old tracks. I decided to add the bass and a few additional layers tonight, and will follow up with lyrics later on.

So Strange (‘09 Remix)
Hey don’t fade
I’m amazed at how the day goes by
While waiting just to point my eyes at you
So strange
How my sealed up secrets stashed inside
Sent several lengthy messages to you
In song
Will you brush them off so senselessly
Or lie awake at night hoping it’s true
I’m yours
If you study all the frequencies
My heart will let yours contact me
All we ever do is take up space
I don’t want to race
I just want to spend my time with you
If all we ever do is make mistakes
I don’t want to wait
I just want to spend my time with you
I have made an intricate grid of contact times
To monitor the thoughts I’ve bound to you
Today
While the only clouds are in my mind
These arms are always open wide for you
In time
With the riddles that pour from my face
My broken mind just needs a taste of you
So calm
Now I never meant to slip away
Another inch for everyday

The Bridges of Providence County - Originally released through Cozy Music in 2007 as the title track to my debut EP. I have since cleaned it up a little bit and remastered it slightly.
Look on the floor for a club and a seven of spades
I’ve been climbing this staircase for days
For a mirror that won’t show my face
For a woman who…
Can’t find the door or a way to get out of this maze
I’ve been searching this hallway for days
Only when I can see how it pays to be me will I turn back
And throw it all away again
I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off
Now I need a place to stay
Hiding behind my window pane
Looking for more
Always walking in figure of eights
Now my feet never know where to stay
The way you look at me
How I must seem to be
You say “I’m only human” but I won’t be here for long
I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off
I’ve burnt all my bridges to jump off
Now I need a place to stay
Hiding behind my window pane
Looking for sgnals in the dark
Playing the blues on a stolen guitar
I’ve taken apathy too far

Shipwreck
I was only here for days
You only here for nights
So busy we were getting restless
So glad that we got on that flight
You belong to the city but your heart is in the sea
The waves will crash around you while on a shipwreck with me
Now no more conversation
Winds pick up and we lose the station
Waves are looking tall
Colors gone to greyscale
Drinks now on the floor and your voice is raising
Fuck!
What do we do?
Only hesitation
Thunder interrupts while the swell is raising
Raining on your face
How our lives are changing
Out here in the storm
More than our hearts are sinking
You belong to the city but your heart is in the sea
The waves will crash around you while on a shipwreck with me
