Into The Vortex (disquiet0519)

For junto challenge 0519, the Assignment: Remix yourself from another point of view. For this one I decided to remix (it ended up almost as a rework actually) a 5 years old junto submission (https://soundcloud.com/daniel-diaz/vortex-me-please-disquiet0248) my 5th submission for this beloved rendezvous, a track I recorded on September 30, 2016. Back then I was much more into glitch&noise, trying to incorporate field recording and plain noise into musical compositions. I downloaded a bunch of NASA free wav that I used a lot, some are included in the original track. Now, I’m more into blending sort of classical compositional stuff (melodies, chords, real instruments, etc) into experimental tracks like this one. So I decided that, instead of just remixing that noisy track I wanted to take the whole musical part more in focus, I removed the spoken voices from the NASA tracks, remixed and expanded the basic synths and drum beat (it is more than a minute longer now), then I added a solo cello and some orchestral sampled chords and stabs, plus an old school “Rick Wright” style synth melody. I don’t know if this 2021 version is better but it suits my actual tastes better. I used a photo by 愚木混株 on the artwork.
