This is a submission for Disquiet Junto 0477 'Flying Blind'. the mission:

"Play something blind. That is to say, record a piece of music in which some substantial portion is performed without looking."

Its the end of winter, 2021. We are all flying blind, here at the end (¿) of the covid times. what is next is unknowable. what is past cannot be recalled to mind. we have each created an inharmonious equilibrium from which we seek to escape. Yes; thats it.

I first created a generative arpeggio in G on the modular, using Sloths for chaos, Rings (of course) for sound, and the 2hp ARP for notes. I clocked it from the Drumbrute which also provided the beat, which was futher augemented with the SSF Entity Bass Drum module. Having got that to my liking, I then added the main event; a fingerstyle electric guitar ditty on my gretsch/mesa/H9. 

One take, warts and all.
