do your part, recycle - W10

This week was a pure creative journey on the Digitakt 2
I recycled some sounds from previous DT2 projects but only kept one pattern from my project copy.
Like a good sourdough starter, maybe saving a little bit from another projects helps grow a new song.
Listening back to my impulsive decisions now in a musical I like to ask what it means?
The meaning is kind of a snapshot of everything right now, the present or at least a week of time, which feels like an average of the weeks mood in a way.
From part A to B in the track we go from a happy mood to maybe angry then somehow find ourselves back to a happy place. I never revisit A and right now that kind of feels like many moments in our lives where things change and we can't go back.
The name of the track, alluding to recycling song material is also a bit of a nod to the world, our society and control. We're told to do our part to save the planet, to recycle, so save water, and we do, because it feel like we're taking control of the situation. Meanwhile the rich and powerful destroy everything.
Like this song we've now started a war for no reason at all and things will never be the same. Exactly how I'm not sure. I have very little control of the situation but I do hope like the song we come out on the other side and find better, happier times.
