More on this 208th weekly Disquiet Junto project (“Record a composition in place using only the sounds around you”) at:
disquiet.com/2015/12/24/disquiet0208-insitu/

For this 208th Disquiet project (details below), I used only the on-board mics on my laptop to record our hissing radiator, and noise off the television.

There weren't any sound sources going on at home except these two. The first track in the picture (green strip) is a basic bass drum and high note; second is hissing radiator, followed by a small section of it looped over and over; track 3 is the main musical element - a few bars from a TV commercial; track 4 is the same at the end, offset and with effects; track 5 is backing musical vocal samples from other TV commercials; track 6 is a selection of edited dialog from the TV recordings.

lyrics

Its beautiful.
Is there something I can help you with, Detective?
I don't know yet
Maybe if you told me what this was about?
A homicide, multiple homicides.

Gun battles raged on the streets of Ramadi today
as Iraqi soldiers pushed to retake the city
after months of ISIS control/
An Iraqi military source says troops control most of the city,
although pockets of resistance remain/
United States State Department could not confirm
those reports.

Very significant snow totals here, around Kansas
and reaching up toward the Twin Cities and into parts of Wisconsin,
as Iraqi soldiers pushed to retake the city
after months of ISIS control/

Zodiac reaching out to greater Martinez area to right the leg
for something new - I know how it is/
The first film that we we simply gave the world, the real world,
and show reality in motion,
A stranger,
people passing on the street on a windy day,
A Steamship Sailing...
