Really nice consideration of the delicate FM interactions played through evolving dynamics envelopes. At times it reminds me a bit of Zappa's Jazz from Hell time period.

I made a sculpture specifically for this project by collecting things on a walk and assembling them, then recording, on only one day.

I used the leftover objects to rub, scrape and clang. Everything you hear is litter.

This project was proposed by Alex (aka XHG) from Switzerland, who also drew the cover image.

live one day of your life as a flower (disquiet0630)

For this week's Disquiet Junto prompt, we were invited to collaborate with a train sample that was provided to us.

I've often joked that it's only a matter of time before any given artist or band makes a song about a train. I never thought that day would come for me. A moral dilemma.

To get the full sensation of being tied up on the tracks, I recommend listening to "The Trolley Problem" with headphones.

Recorded and produced at NOSIGNAL Multimedia Labs, The Shambles, Chicago.

The Trolley Problem (disquiet0635)

This was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0636: Left (1 of 3)

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0636 discussion thread:

Created this generative ambient track using SDKC Helical on my little ALM 3U 52hp rig. No other modules were used except for a bit of reverb with FX Aid. Manually adjusted note spread, envelope, filter cutoff, etc. while recording. Mangle, chop up or do whatever you’d like for your creation. The main thing of course is to enjoy the process. Busy few weeks coming up so not sure whether I’ll be able to participate 100% in this series, we’ll see.
This is in C# Major.

Used Pigments and its FX to generate some drippy splong sounds. Feel free to warp, cut, resample or whatever you feel like.

Key is C Major even though its not that tonal and tempo is 100 BPM.

The Assignment: Record the first third of a trio.

Please note: While this project is the start of a three-part sequence that will unfold over the course of three weeks, you can participate in any or all three of those parts.

Step 1: This week’s Junto project is the first in a sequence intended to encourage and reward collaboration. You will be recording something with the understanding that it will remain unfinished for the time being. Your part will be done, but more will happen. Read on.

Step 2: The plan is for you to record a short and original piece of music using any instrumentation of your choice. Conceive the piece as something that leaves room for something else — other instruments, other people — to join in. (Keep in mind that your piece would appear panned to the left in the finished recording, after three weeks.)

Step 3: Record a short piece of music, roughly two to three minutes in length, as described in Step 2.

Step 4: This is important: be sure to make your track downloadable because it may be used by someone else in the next Disquiet Junto project, and then after that.

Tasks Upon Completion:

Label: Include “disquiet0636” (no spaces/quotes) in the name of your track.

Upload: Post your track to a public account (SoundCloud preferred but by no means required). It’s best to focus on one track, but if you post more than one, clarify which is the “main” rendition.

Share: Post your track and a description explanation at https://llllllll.co/t/disquiet-junto-project-0636-left-1-of-3/

Discuss: Listen to and comment on the other tracks.

Additional Details:

Length: The length is up to you. Two to three minutes is best.

Deadline: Monday, March 11, 2024, 11:59pm (that is: just before midnight) wherever you are.

woozy (disquiet0636)

This week's prompt was to record the first part of a trio.

I recorded some street musicians this weekend and did some tweaking in Ableton Live. At first, a little bit of tweaking. Then, a lot of tweaking!  81 bpm - I hope someone chooses this to be a left-panned rhythm!
