FAWM: "10: Round and Round (Widgets)"

10: Round and Round (Widgets)

Liner Notes

*headphones recommended*
Round and Round (Widgets) is a 1939 public domain film by the Handy (Jam) Organization. It is my first #slothcore track of FAWM 2025 and was recorded at 20 bpm. Audio samples have been slowed down to 60% of the original film.

Quoting from the https://archive.org/details/Roundand1939 page “The film is a highly simplified explanation of free-enterprise economics that fails to mention the idea of profit.”

Trippy! You could definitely score some television...the good kind. Very moody and dark, but deceptively playful.

Ethereal and hypnotic. It has a quirky beauty to it.

The cold and slow buzzes and all make this a peaceful time, there is a sense of being isolated, but everything is chill.

What a creepy intro. Those old time music boxes can turn extremely creepy with even a little tampering (and sometimes with none!) This is kind of creepy all the way through, gives the general creeping feeling that something is wrong. Pretty unsettling listen.

the distorted music box toy-box adjacent sound at the beginning is really eerie and wonderful... really enjoying your work this fawm season, your production style is so haunting and immersive. this one in particular is a fabulous, spacey track that simply.... unfolds in a beautiful way!

ha ha - you too - I did my first slothcore track (this year) today as well, must be something sluggish in the air! This one was very subtle - the voices and and the creeping ambience just filled my room slowly overlaying the other sounds in the house/street and adding a mysterious atmosphere... the true soul of ambient music!
