Concrete Wallpaper (disquiet junto 0371)

I really love wallpaper. I love how it's a design that has to find a right balance between being aesthetically pleasing but ultimately ignored, like smooth jazz or elevator music. I also don't think that concrete is as solid and simple as we often believe it to be. I live in a city full of cracked sidewalks, crumbling bricks, and potholes. These decaying urban materials gradually take on an increasingly organic quality, as nature and the elements gradually reclaim the landscape. This piece was created in Supercollider using the harmonies from the jazz standard "Autumn Leaves." Some further processing and griminess was done in Logic.
