this point with absolute silence really enamored me.  tasteful and implicit songwriting all around.  i would have been banging pots and pans to this in joy if I was in the same room while being recorded.  thank god I wasnt lol

Love it! Excellent choice of samples to make the drum kit!

Kraftwerk plays with wind chimes... :-D Nice.

Lovely sample mangling with those chime sounds.

Disquiet Junto Project 0485: Strange Weather
The Assignment: Remix the pure sounds of Chris Kallmyer’s traveling wind chimes to your own musical purposes.

This is the second of two projects in a row we’re doing with artist Chris Kallmyer. You needn’t have participated in the previous one to do this one. First, some background: Kallmyer’s “Two hearts are better than one” is a pair of wind chimes, one of which is depicted in this week’s cover image, crisscrossing Los Angeles at the height of the pandemic. Installed at homes for week-long listening sessions, the chimes formed a duet across a city and provided intimate experiences with sound for 16 families sheltering at home. (More at chriskallmyer.com.)

Step 1: Chris has provided us with a recording of the wind chimes, a little over five minutes long. The audio was cleaned up by Alex Hawthorn to maximize the clarity of the chimes themselves, removing much of the background sound, thus situating the chimes in what might be thought of as a platonic space. Access the wav file at dropbox.com.

Step 2: Do what you wish this the chimes. Remix them to your musical heart’s content. The one request is that at least once in your recording, let the source audio be heard clearly.

My process:
All sounds generated from the source audio.  Samples chopped and sequenced in Renoise.

The last 2/3 of a live set performed at Oil Club, Shenzhen, China. The event was a (belated) launch party for Guangzhou Underground's ambient compilation "Thanks for Stopping By," on which I have one track. Thanks to Simon Bishop for organizing and to Oil Club for as-always excellent technical support.

Process Prototype @ Hypnagogia, Oil Club, Shenzhen

This track was built from a single synth in Supercollider. I used the Dust UGen to ping a 2 pole resonant filter, applied a long-ish ASR envelope then randomly sequenced the notes as well as several other parameters in a Pbind and let it rip.

"Devil may care my dear...there's nobody home...no feeling to spare here...And I've shed all my worldly skin...baptized, I'm drowning in these regrets, all that could have beens... I'm past the point of my wits end, my heart is dead."

Say it ain't sunshine (disquiet0435)

There are 4 audio loops cut out of some improvisations recorded while Judith was testing her new amplified viola setup. Speeds were modified to get everything into a unified pitch-space. The loops come in at different times and overlap in different ways over time.

Starting it off, and continuing underneath the 4 loops, you'll hear some snippets from a public domain "documentary" called Heat and Temperature by Coronet Films.

The last straw(uncle sham)

This project was a collaboration between myself and Jon Siemasko (Schemawound) for the Oct 29th-Nov2 Disquiet Junto.
This track takes the listener on a journey from outside a solar system, past large planetary bodies, asteroid fields, and cosmic debris in search of a Goldilocks Zone.  The Goldilocks Zone found briefly (around the 4:20 mark), but the journey takes an unfortunate turn as the listener is pulled in to the star.

DAW: Bitwig
Mostly NI and Bitwig VSTs
Jon's Modular Rig used for drones, percussion, analog arpeggio, sound fx, etc.
